acid is benzoic acid( benzene carboxylic acid) which has a benzene connected to the carboxyl carboxyl group‚ -COOH group. It has a formula of C6H5COOH. The carbon atom of a carboxyl group has a high oxidation state. Therefore‚ that many of the chemical reactions used for their preparation are oxidations. In this experiment‚ an aromatic carboxylic acids namely benzoic acid will be prepared by oxidizing benzyl alcohol which is a primary alcohol. The oxidizing agent used is alkaline potassium permanganate

has a four number name. The enzyme for this reaction is malate dehydrogenase (MDH). Its enzyme commission number is 1.1.1.37. The first number is in reference to its class. In the case of MDH‚ it is a oxidoreductase meaning that it carries out oxidation-reduction

is a molecule that inhibits the oxidation of other molecules. * Oxidation is a chemical reaction that transfers electrons or hydrogen from a substance to an oxidizing agent. Oxidation reactions can produce free radicals. * These radicals can start chain reactions. *When the chain reaction occurs in a cell‚ it can cause damage or death to the cell. * Antioxidants terminate these chain reactions by removing free radical intermediates‚ and inhibit other oxidation reactions. * They do this by being

High intensity interval training (HIIT) is a new popular method of exercising that optimizes your workout by completing a series of short‚ high intensity exercise (90% of your maximum heart rate =220-age).‚ followed by longer‚ lower-intensity exercise (55 to 70 % of your maximum heart rate=220-age). High intensity interval training is said to be significantly more beneficial than other forms of cardiovascular workouts because it challenges the body differently and is more extreme then a moderate

The Nitrogen Cycle Nitrogen fixation Atmospheric nitrogen must be processed‚ or "fixed" to be used by plants. Some fixation occurs in lightning strikes‚ but most fixation is done by free-living or symbiotic bacteria. These bacteria have an enzyme that combines gaseous nitrogen with hydrogen to produce ammonia‚ which is then further converted by the bacteria to make their own organic compounds. Conversion of N2 The conversion of nitrogen (N2) from the atmosphere into a form readily available

Constance Whitney Warren’s bronze sculpture entitled‚ Equestrian Portrait of Diego Velazquez 1924 is located between the General Academic Building and the Physics Building at the University of North Texas Denton Campus. Gift of the Harlan crow family in 1994 but the reasons remain in mistery. The composition of the ten foot bronze sculpture was created inspired by the American West and specializing in bronze equestrian statues‚ portrays the famous Spanish painter Diego Velazquez who is riding a horse

is expensive. The chemical kinetics of gas phase oxidation of ethanol has been reported over last five decades. Data have been reported from nonflow reactors‚ flow reactors‚ diffusion flames‚ and laminar premixed flames experiments by several researchers [2-5]. Detailed chemical kinetics models to describe the gas-phase oxidation of ethanol in air are available in literature [6]. Apart from that a global single step mechanism for ethanol oxidation is also available [7]. Experimental studies have

contains catalysts‚ which are called enzymes. These accelerate the reaction of biochemical reactions in the human body. In a catalytic converter‚ there are two types of catalysts inside. The first one is the reduction catalyst and the other is the oxidation catalyst. Both of the catalysts consist of a ceramic structure. The reduction catalyst is the first step of the catalytic converter. It uses platinum and rhodium to reduce the NOx emissions.

solution 4. Start timing until the color disappear Results and Discussion: The fastest concentration of glucose to react with oxidation-reduction is the 1.0% concentration while the slowest to react is 0.1% concentration. Conclusion: I have therefore conclude that the higher the concentration of glucose‚ the faster disappearance of colour indicating the oxidation-reduction reaction. Questions: 1. Identify the possible source of error in the activity. a. Contamination that will alter
