Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate What is Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate? It is also known as the GHB‚ and is a central nervous system depressant. GHB can be found in different forms like clear liquid‚ white powder‚ tablet‚ and capsule forms.(Moore‚ and Measham 565-590) It is very dangerous because GHB is odorless and colorless with a salty taste and when it is in a liquid form it is virtually impossible to be detectable.(O’Connell‚ and Kaye) This drug can found available by prescription for treating sleep disorders

In order to study the influence of reaction time‚ acetophenone with complex 2 (0.1 mol%) under standard conditions was monitored by GC-MS analysis taking 0.1 mL aliquots of the reaction mixture at intervals of 1 h. As can be observed in the conversion vs time plots‚ the formation of 1-phenylethanol was increased with the progress of the reaction‚ reached a maximum and then remained unchanged (Fig. 4). Reasonably good conversion (97.4%) for the formation of 1-phenylethanol was observed at the optimum

4/27/11 SYNTHESIS AND CHEMILUMINESCENCE OF LUMINOL Abstract: Chemiluminescence occurs in nature and can be found in everyday products. For example‚ the light omitted by fireflies‚ deep sea fish and glow sticks is a result of this process. Luminol was synthesized from from 3-nitrophthalic acid and then combined with potassium ferricyanide and hydrogen peroxide to omit a blue light. The product of this reaction is very unstable and is made by losing a nitrogen and the electrons go from an excited

Consequently‚ pollutants like suspended particles are trapped in air‚ causing polluted air. Cross-border pollution is the third aspect. There are numerous of factories built in the Guangdong Province in Mainland. The industrial air pollutants such as nitro dioxide can be carried to Hong Kong by winds. More pollutants are brought by the northern monsoon in winter especially. The air quality becomes extraordinarily terrible. To tackle the problem of air pollution‚ we should focus on the causes and work

The Effect of Gravity on the Human Body According to the NASA Glenn Research Center‚ the nominal acceleration of gravity on Earth at sea level AKA standard gravity AKA “g-force” AKA “1 g” is defined as 32 feet per second. Sneezing subjects your brain to about 3 g and coughing about 3.5 g. The frame of airliners and other transport aircraft must be capable of withstanding a g-force of 2.5 g. A race car driver going around a curve at 100 MPH will experience a g-force of approximately 3

Organic Chemistry - Introduction 1 2812 Basic definitions for organic chemistry Scope Organic chemistry is a vast subject so it is easier to split it into small sections for study. This is usually done by studying compounds which behave in a similar way because they have a particular atom‚ or group of atoms‚ (FUNCTIONAL GROUP) in their structure. Catenation The ability to form bonds between atoms of the same element. Carbon catenates to form chains and rings‚ with single‚ double

Microbes have existed billions of years on Earth than humanity. Since ancient times‚ they have been known to cause infectious diseases to any form of creature that has life such as humans and animals. In the present-day‚ microbiologists and archeologists are discovering evidence of infectious diseases in ancient human skeletons. As the scientists and researchers were tracking those diseases in ancient human skeletons they had started to discover that microbes contribute too many chronic diseases
