Oxidation Number When elements combine to produce a compound‚ each element is assigned an “apparent” charge. This apparent charge‚ the charge an atom would have if both electrons in each bond were assigned to the more electronegative element‚ may be positive or negative. It is called the oxidation number or state of the element in the compound. Oxidation numbers are very useful in keeping track of what happens to electrons when various elements combine to form compounds. By remembering a few

Catalytic reduction of hexacynoferrate (III) The silver nanoparticles were used in the catalytic electron transfer reaction between hexacyanoferrate (III) and sodium borohydride‚ resulting in the formation of hexacyanoferrate (II) ions and dihydrogen borate ions. The redox reaction is depicted as: [BH4] - + 8[Fe (CN) 6] -3 + 3H2O H2BO3 - + 8[Fe (CN) 6] -4+ 8H+ The reaction can even proceed without a catalyst‚ but it has been reported that it is a slow reaction‚ which follows zero-order

John Heger CMY 211 Lab Section 13 11-30-2011 Borohydride Reduction of Vanillin to Vanillyl Alcohol Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to reduce vanillin to vanillyl alcohol. This lab report recaps the procedure and results of the lab. The chemical process studied in this lab was reduction‚ the process of reducing the number of bonds to oxygen and increasing the number of bonds to hydrogen. Other chemical processes included in the lab were recrystallization‚ melting point‚ and extraction

experiment of making borneol from camphor (FIGURE-3) is performed in two different methods‚ Sodium Borohydride Reduction and Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley Reduction‚ to compare the relative product ratio of borneol to isoborneol. The concept of reduction and also oxidation‚ the opposite procedure of reduction‚ deals mostly with electron transfer between atoms. It will not be elaborated here‚ but the reduction procedure involved in this experiment is basically adding hydrogens and losing the carbon-oxygen double

increased the amount of carbon dioxide being released into our environment. The team of researchers also discovered that magnified pyrite (commonly known as fool’s gold) oxidation created acidity that allowed carbon dioxide into our oceans and altered the Earth’s carbon cycle. Over a time period of 10‚000 years‚ glacial oxidation could have altered the concentration of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere by nearly

WHAT IS HARM REDUCTION? Harm reduction is a set of practical strategies intended to reduce the negative consequences of high risk behavior such as over drinking or drug abuse. Harm reduction is a non judgmental approach that attempts to meet people where they are at with their drinking or drug abuse. Instead of demanding perfect abstinence‚ this pragmatic approach is supportive of anyone who wishes to minimize the harm associated with a high risk behavior such as drinking or drug abuse. Harm

Preparation of food takes a lot of time. Even if the dish is only composed of fruits. A lot of dishes have vegetables in them. These can also be useful especially when preparing lots of different food at the same time. If you look at cooking websites they will suggest to use lemon water. In our experiment we will attempt to find out which is better at preserving the sliced‚ chopped‚ and or diced food. Since our experiments are limited by time and costs‚ we will stick to the simplest of the available
