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

Soda and Mentos Reaction: Any kind of Soda and Mentos interaction will expedite a geyser of both carbon dioxide and foam. Soda has a few properties‚ for instance‚ an sweetener or an artificial flavouring‚ but it’s main factor that contributes to the reaction is carbonated water. Carbonated water is basically water with Carbon Dioxide compressed within it‚ it causes the drink to be fizzy and bubbly. This contributes to the reaction because it the fizz and bubbles are gas‚ which tries to escape from

Discussion The purpose of this lab is to display the influence of retronasal olfaction when it comes to flavor. Humans have two different types of olfaction. Olfaction is the detection of chemicals in the air. These chemicals which are meant to activate odor receptors‚ are called odorants. Humans have approximately 20 million olfactory receptors‚ which is only a fraction compared to bloodhounds who have 4 billion. The first type of olfaction is called orthonasal olfaction which is inhaling. Here

Due to this‚ we assumed that the same would happen to animal and plant cells and the cell membrane. It’s also believed that the low pH solution of vinegar (2.4) would eat away the cell wall and plasma membrane‚ which would then cause a chemical reaction to the cells structure. It was also considered that if the cell received did heat and exposure to a pH solution we would have total cell failure in all parts of the beetroot slice and the cell would lose or change its colour.

Activity 1.3.1: DNA Detectives Introduction Bones can provide a snapshot of the identity of a person- they can predict height‚ stature‚ gender‚ ethnicity and even age. However‚ it is what lies inside these hard calcified tissues‚ the DNA housed inside the body’s cells‚ that holds the key to true genetic identity. Tissue is made up of many cells‚ the building blocks of life. Tucked inside the body’s cells‚ you will find chromosomes. These structures house your genes and contain the DNA code necessary

The purpose of this review paper is to discuss the effect of temperature on enzyme- catalyzed reactions. This is relevant because many diseases can be diagnosed and controlled by the processes of enzyme activity (Worthington 2015). If more information is not found about enzyme activity and how it is affected‚ many diseases may go undiagnosed and uncontrolled. Temperature is a type measurement that does not only consist of heat. It is the measurement of the mean kinetic energy of any group of particles
