How Carboxylic Acids and Alcohols React to Produce Esters: Esters and Ester Production: Esters are abundant and ever present‚ and are the chemical basis of almost all fatty acids and oils. Small esters are responsible for the aroma of fruits‚ perfumes and‚ by extension‚ wines and other alcohols. Esters are formed when a carboxylic acid and an alcohol chemically combine‚ losing a molecule of water in the process. Carboxylic acids are organic molecular compounds that form a homologous series

Name: Fabiola Gonzales ID#: 810004692 Lab Partner: Onecia Alexander Date: Friday 23rd October 2015 Theory: Arginase is an enzyme with the E.C. number 3.5.3.1 (Worthington 2015). This details it as a hydrolase enzyme that catalyses the cleavage of bonds through the addition of water. For this experiment‚ we pay close attention to the reaction where arginase catalyses the hydrolysis of arginine to ornithine and urea. This reaction is a part of the urea cycle and occurs in mammalian livers and sometimes

Once it loses the chloride‚ a carbocation is formed and the water acts as the nucleophile to bond the oxygen to the carbocation. Bromothymol blue indicator changes color depending on the pH of a solution. The indicator would change from blue to green to yellow. Using this indicator‚ we were able to measure the rate of formation of HCl

The Kinetics of α-Chymotrypsin Introduction Chymotrypsin is a protease which cleaves proteins by a hydrolysis reaction‚ it does this by adding a molecule of water to a peptide bond. Although the hydrolysis reaction is thermodynamically favoured in the absence of a catalyst the half-life for a typical hydrolysis reaction by a protease is between 10 and 100 years‚ needless to say it is extremely slow1. Though this is true peptide bonds are hydrolysed within milliseconds in the body in the presence

The Wittig reaction is a unique reaction that can be carried out in various ways as our prompt exemplifies. We will be primary focusing on the second of the three schemes. In The usual formation of an ylide occurs via Sn2 attack of a PR3 group on an alkyl halide‚ which is then followed by a strong base deprotonating of one of the hydrogens on the methyl which the PR3 attacked. Before we dive into the details of the reaction occurring in scheme 2 it will be important to understand the mechanism which

concentration of hydrobromic acid. The sulfuric acid protonates the hydroxyl group of n-butyl alcohol so that water is displaced instead of the hydroxide ion OH-. The acid also protonates the water as it is produced in the reaction and deactivates it as a nucleophile. Deactivation of water keeps the alkyl halide from being transformed back to the alcohol by nucleophilic attack of water. The reaction of the primary substrate continues via an SN2 mechanism.

Persian Gulf Pearl History Since the past‚ persian Gulf was one of the greatest source for fine and perfect pearls. Persian Gulf oysters (Pinctada margaritifera‚ Pinctada radiata) were collected for their mother-of-pearl‚ which was used as an inlay material in ancient Egypt as early as the sixth dynasty (c 3200 BC). The pearls of the Persian Gulf were natural created and collected by breath-hold divers. The secret to the special luster of Gulf pearls probably derived from the unique mixture of
