otherwise nitrogen is largely “filler‚” adding inert bulk to the atmosphere. In contrast‚ oxygen gas (O2) is chemically very active‚ combining readily with other elements in the process of oxidation. Fuel combustion is a rapid form of oxidation‚ while certain types of rock decay (weathering) are very slow forms of oxidation. Living tissues require oxygen to convert foods into energy. The remaining 1 percent of dry air is mostly argon‚ an inactive gas of little importance in natural processes‚ with a very

Lab: Comparison of Three Isomers of Butanol Pre-lab: 1. Write the general reaction of an alcohol and HCl. 2. What would the solubility be of an alcohol in water. 3. What would the solubility be of an alkyl halide in water? 4. What is the purpose of KMnO4 in the reactions? Safety: Concentrated hydrochloric acid is corrosive and the vapour is very irritating to the respiratory system. Avoid contact with skin‚ eyes‚ clothing‚ and the lab bench. Wear eye protection and a lab apron.

a cell breaks down sugar or other organic compounds to release energy used for cellular work). This process includes glycolysis‚ pyruvate oxidation‚ the kreb cycle‚ and the electron transport chain. The theoretical ATP output by this process is 36 ATP per glucose (C6H1206). Lipids are broken down to fatty acid chains and through a process called beta oxidation; the fatty acid chain is broken down to many acetyl-Co A‚ which then enters cellular respiration at the Kreb cycle. Proteins are broken down

The ability of the grapes to keep your arteries clean is owed to their content of flavonoids‚ quercetin‚ and resveratrol. The grapes can help you to

31) QUALITY OF DRIED FOODS AND DETERIORATIVE REACTIONS DURING DRYING Consumer demand has increased for processed products that keep more of their original characteristics. In industrial terms‚ this requires the development of operations that minimize the adverse effects of processing. The effect of food processing on finished product quality ultimately determines the usefulness and commercial viability of that unit process operation. In the particular case of food drying this indicates that loss

Topic 11a – Group 7‚ the Halogens Revision Notes 1) Trends in physical properties of the elements • At room temperature‚ Cl2 is a pale green gas‚ Br2 is a brown liquid‚ I2 is a blue-black solid. • In Group 7‚ boiling point increases down the group because the molecules have more electrons and‚ therefore‚ stronger van der Waal’s forces which require more energy to overcome them • Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract the electrons in a covalent bond • Down

Experiment VI: Oxidation of Isoborneol with Bleach Purpose: In this experiment‚ Green chemical procedures were applied to oxidize isoborneol to camphor using bleach (NaOCl)‚ rather than the tradition chromium-based oxidizing reagents. The camphor was then purified using the process of sublimation. Procedure: Using a 50-mL Erlenmeyer flask‚ 1.316 g (8.5 mmol) isoborneol and 1.0 mL (17 mmol) glacial acetic acid were stirred vigorously with a magnetic stir plate. A volume of 1.7 mL NaOCl
