Liquid Crystals from Coconut Oil Fatty Acids - Investigatory Project Liquid Crystals from Coconut Oil Fatty Acids Abstract Liquid crystals are fluids that are between the solid and conventional liquid phases. Liquid crystals are in widespread use‚ especially in optical technologies. They are synthesized by combining fatty acids with cholesterol. This study aims to utilize coconut oil as an alternative source of fatty acids for synthesizing liquid crystals since coconut is cheap and abundant

Synthesis of Isopentyl Acetate (Banana Oil) Using a Fischer Esterification Reaction Zhenshu Wang (Stan) TA: Aaron League September 23‚ 2012 Purpose: The purpose of the experiment was to perform the acid-catalyzed Fischer Esterification of acetic acid and isopentyl alcohol to form isopentyl acetate‚ or banana oil‚ which is used in flavor industries. The equilibrium of the reaction was changed by adding an excess amount of acetic acid. The reaction was refluxed and product was purified by extraction

Abstract The article describes a technique for processing liquid radioactive waste water using membrane techniques to single out only radioactive waste components without affecting the salt ballast. This solution dramatically reduces the amount of radioactive concentrates to be long-term storage‚ and provides an opportunity to re-use treated water and chemicals. Keywords. Liquid radioactive waste‚ radioactive waste water purification‚ reverse osmosis‚ selective extraction of radionuclides. Introduction

non-organic bananas‚ to see which one lasts the longest over a period of time. The study was separated into 5 groups that were each labeled to a location in a standard family home that would‚ over time‚ begin to affect the overall form and characteristics of the bananas. Throughout the experiment‚ it was found that “Group 2 – Impact of Air Exposure‚” lasted longer than any other group. Following the investigation‚ it is evident that the Ziploc bags used in the experiment preserved the bananas for a longer

Distillation‚ Gas Chromatography: Preparation of Synthetic Banana Oil Introduction This experiment gave us the opportunity to work with a variety of new procedures as well as practice procedures that are new to us within the past few weeks of labs. Within the context of the scenario‚ we find that a distilling company that markets a popular banana liqueur is having problems. The banana plantation that they use to create their banana extract was hit hard by a hurricane and their reserves of

Powerful People: Harry Belafonte To some‚ the name Harry Belafonte is only known by his famous song “The Banana Boat Song” (Better known as Day-O) but he has accomplished more in his lifetime than most people could ever dream. Belafonte was born in 1927 in New York to a poor family. As a child‚ he had to make the move between America and Jamaica more than once. From his humble beginnings‚ Harry Belafonte was able to grow into not only a highly regarded musician and actor‚ but a powerful activist

Hello fellow readers and welcome back!! As the title suggests‚ the first recipe I’ll be sharing is chocolate banana loaf cake with cream cheese glaze. My group and I were given the opportunity to name our creation ourselves‚ but with our limited capacity of imagination and creativity in our brain‚ we ended calling it what the loaf literally represents‚ chocolate banana loaf cake with cream cheese glaze. Do not be fooled by the overly simple name‚ we actually put in a lot of effort coming up with

the Molar Mass of an Unidentified Volatile Liquid Abstract Molar mass helps to determine how much of a substance is present in a sample. Volatile liquids change from liquid to gas at relatively low temperatures and atmospheric pressures. In this investigation an unknown volatile liquid is vaporized so that the ideal gas law can be used to determine its molar mass. This study will apply the ideal gas law in tandem with the concept of volatile liquids and basic molar mass related stoichiometry to

3.3. Characterization of the S2 VNP loaded liquid SNEDDS 3.3.1. Assessment of self-emulsification efficiency The emulsification time for S2‚ which is the time needed for SNEDDS to form homogeneous transparent mixture upon dilution‚ was 12 sec when 1 gm of VNP SNEDDS was added to 200 ml of 0.1 N HCl. When the same experiment was performed but by using 500 ml distilled water‚ the time required for the complete disappearance of SNEDDS was 14 sec. The emulsification in both media is under grade A of
