sodium compounds are useful‚ such as sodium hydroxide (lye) for soap-making‚ and sodium chloride for use as a de-icing agent and a nutrient (edible salt). Sodium is an essential element for all animals and some plants. In animals‚ sodium ions are used against potassium ions to build up charges on cell membranes‚ allowing transmission of nerve impulses when the charge is dissipated. The consequent need of animals for sodium causes it to be classified as a dietary inorganic macro-mineral. (Wikipedia.com)

Ashley Droddy CHM 235LL-Monday‚ 3/19/2012 & 3/26/2012 Part A: Dehydration of 1-butanol & 2-Butanol/Part B: Dehydrobromination of 1-Bromobutane & 2-Bromobutane Abstract The objective of this experiment is to successfully perform a dehydration of 1-butanol and 2-butanol‚ also dehydrobromination of 1-bromobutane and 2-bromobutane to form the alkene products 1-butene‚ trans-2-butene‚ and cis-2-butene. The dehydration reactions react under and acid-catalysis which follows an E1 mechanism

Comparison of Three Isomers of Butanol SCH 4UI Abstract The Hydroxyl group on alcohols relates to their reactivity. This concept was explored by answering the question “Does each alcohol undergo halogenation and controlled oxidation?” . Using three isomers of butanol; the primary 1-butanol‚ the secondary 2-butanol and the tertiary 2-methyl-2-propanol‚ also referred to as T-butanol‚ two experiments were performed to test the capabilities of the alcohols. When mixed with hydrochloric acid in

In this experiment‚ we used acquired observational data to develop an activity series describing the relative reactivity of the metals being tested. The elements within a periodic table often show different trends in physical and chemical properties depending on the period or group they are apart of. In a periodic table‚ elements are arranged by increasing atomic number in horizontal rows called periods. The atomic numbers represent the number of protons in each element. The periodic table is also

greater the electron density‚ the more basic the molecule. Groups that donate or supply electrons will increase the basicity of amines while groups that decrease the electron density around the nitrogen decrease the basicity of the molecule. For alkyl halides in the gas phase‚ the order of base strength is given below: (CH3)3 N > (CH3)2NH > CH3NH2 > NH3 most least basic basic However‚

What is Magnesium chloride(MgCl2)? What is it used for and why? What does it look like? Magnesium chloride is the name of a chemical formula of MG CL two. This is a salt and they are a typical ion halide. halides are very soluble to water. magnesium chloride is used for deicing on highways in sidewalks and also parking lots it is a good source of de-icing. The color that it appears is white or colorless crystalline solid. What is magnesium or what is chloride? whare are they located? You can find
