April Goodson CHEM 242L-002 February 20‚ 2013 Oxidation of Cyclohexanone to Adipic Acid Abstract The cyclic ketone cyclohexanone was oxidized to adipic acid using the oxidizing agent nitric acid. The experiment yielded 0.2667 grams of adipic acid‚ giving a percent yield of 113.97%. Although the product was allowed to dry for one week‚ residual moisture was still present in the sample and a melting point could not be obtained. This error in the experiment either resulted from adding too much

INTRODUCTION For this experiment we studied an oxidation-reduction reaction of magnesium and hydrochloric acid solution. We compared the experimental measured amount of a product and the amount predicted by the theoretical calculation of a balanced equation: Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) → MgCl2 (aq) + H2 (g) PROCEDURE First we obtained a strip of pre-cut magnesium ribbon‚ cleaned it with steel wool to remove any signs of oxidation from the strip (which would alter our results)‚ and then weighed it (individual

Module 03 Case Study – Logic Puzzles 1. A computer store was robbed over the weekend‚ and the police have rounded up four suspects. The detective interrogated them and determined that one of them was indeed the robber. Here were the statements: Shirley: Dennis did it. Dennis: Alan did it. Brad: I didn’t do it. Alan: Dennis lied when he said that I did it. Only one of these four statements is true. With that in mind‚ who is the guilty party? I am thinking that the robber is Brad. None

and philosopher‚ developed a puzzle about identity and a Descriptive Theory of Reference to address these issues. With the consideration of meaning‚ cognitive value‚ sense and reference‚ Frege attempts to organize a solution to these statements‚ but due to several problems regarding his theories‚ I oppose his solution. Consider this example: 1) a=a; ‘morning star=morning star’ 2) a=b; ‘morning star=evening star’ 3) b=a; ‘evening star=morning star’ Frege’s puzzle of identity concerns the identity

“Kinetics of Ethanol Oxidation” laboratory experiment utilized Beer’s law and spectroscopy to monitor concentration and the rate of ethanol oxidation through the LoggerPro System. This data then helped determine the kinetic rate constant‚ k‚ and the order of the reaction. First‚ the wavelength of maximum absorbance was determined using the LoggerPro interface and a Vernier colorimeter. Beer’s law was then used to determine the molar absorptivity. Finally‚ a kinetic study of ethanol oxidation was completed
