experiment the objective was to perform a Diels-Alder reaction using cyclopentadiene and maleic anhydride to synthesize the product‚ cis-Norbornene-5‚6-endo-dicarboxylic anhydride. The Diels-Alder reaction is one of the most important reactions in organic chemistry and was first investigated by Otto Diels and Kurt Alder in Germany. It is a [4+2] concerted cycloaddition reaction which involves a diene and a dienophile. The Diel-Alder reaction are mainly used for creating new carbon-carbon bonds‚ mostly

A. Introduction Title: The effect of reading Shakespeare on reaction time Research Question: Does reading a passage of Shakespeare decrease a person’s reaction time while completing a puzzle? One day in class‚ I was reading an interesting article about how people who read and are exposed to Shakespeare and Wordsworth and other renowned writers have better brain activity‚ attention spans‚ and can have more moments of beneficial self-reflection. In the article‚ scientists and psychologists at Liverpool

When it comes to organic chemistry and the synthesis of specific products there is an abundant amount of routes that can be taken and still get you the same result. For the following experiment‚ the main focus is the use of a cycloaddition reaction‚ also known as Diels-Alder. According to the lab manual‚ this reaction consists of the addition of a diene and a dienophile and that the Diels-Alder reaction builds stereospecific ring compounds with ease (Weldegirma 80). The reaction takes place between

Why is organic chemistry important? Organic compounds are used for many different things. Daily life in today’s world would be very hard to live in without organic compounds; in fact life would not be possible without organic compounds. For example‚ most of your body is made up of organic compounds. The food you eat is made up of organic compounds. Even the flavourings and colourings on processed food are organic. The clothes you wear are‚ yes you guessed it‚ organic as well. What’s more is that

Introduction to Acids Base chemistry Purpose How to determine the constant equilibrium of an acid‚ Ka? How to evaluate the concentration (M) of an acid? In “part A” experiment‚ we would test the PH of different concentration of acetic acid (a weak acid which partially dissociated in water) with a PH probe. After we got the PH‚ we could find out the concentration of H+ by applying the relationship pH = -log [H+]. Having the determined value of [H+] of a weak acid with a known molar concentration
