non-essential amino acids‚ amino acid remodeling‚ and conversion of non-amino acid carbon skeletons into amino acids and other derivatives that contain nitrogen. However‚ the liver is the major site of nitrogen metabolism in the body. In times of dietary surplus‚ the potentially toxic nitrogen of amino acids is eliminated via transaminations‚ deamination‚ and urea formation; the carbon skeletons are generally conserved as carbohydrate‚ via gluconeogenesis‚ or as fatty acid via fatty acid synthesis pathways

Mabel M. Kimble September 21‚ 2014 Chemistry 234 Recrystallization of Benzoic Acid ABSTRACT The recrystallization of Benzoic Acid was performed to fully master the ability to purify a solid compound. This form of purification technique is especially important in chemical identification‚ where the melting point of the compound is taken to confirm its purity. In order to perform recrystallization a solubility test much be completed. Four solvents (95% Ethanol‚ Petroleum Ether‚ Acetone and distilled

MANUFACTURE OF SULPHURIC ACID IN INDUSTRY 1. Contact process produces more than 90% of the world’s sulphuric acid. 2. The raw materials used for the manufacture of sulphuric aced are sulphur‚ air and water. 3. The Contact process consists of three stages. a) Production of suphur dioxide b) Conversion of sulphur dioxide to sulphur trioxide. c) Production fo sulphuric acid 4. Stage I: Production of sulphur dioxide a) Sulphur is burnt in air to produce sulphur dioxide. S(s) + O2 (g)→SO (g) b) Burning

endothermic reactions compared to exothermic reactions. An endothermic reaction absorbs energy in the form of heat. This reaction feels cold because it is taking heat away from its surroundings. It also releases gases. An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases energy as heat. Since the energy is released‚ the exothermic reactions feel hot. Methods/Materials I did three experiments. I mixed lemon juice and baking soda‚ammonia and vinegar‚ and finally‚ hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide
