lab‚ caproic acid was synthesized in a multi-step process that involved the synthesis of three intermediates – diethyl n-butylmalonate‚ potassium n-butylmalonate‚ and n-butyl malonic acid respectively. An IR was used to characterize the starting material‚ n-bromobutane‚ and the first intermediate‚ diethyl n-butylmalonate; while IR and NMR were used to characterize the final product‚ caproic acid. Reactions‚ Mechanism and Theory Caproic acid a.k.a n-hexanoic acid is a carboxylic acid derived from

Citric acid cycle From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation‚ search [pic] [pic] Overview of the citric acid cycle The citric acid cycle — also known as the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle)‚ the Krebs cycle‚ or the Szent-Györgyi-Krebs cycle‚ [1][2] — is a series of enzyme-catalysed chemical reactions‚ which is of central importance in all living cells that use oxygen as part of cellular respiration. In eukaryotic cells‚ the citric acid cycle occurs in the matrix of the mitochondrion

Acid Rain Research Paper What is acid rain? Rain is one of the most dire and essential needs for a thriving ecosystem‚ and to sustain human‚ animal‚ and plant life. The water provided by the water cycle‚ the event causing rain‚ is required to keep all life on Earth alive. Rain‚ although naturally acidic‚ seems to have been increasing at a rapid rate due to many reasons. Some of these many reasons include‚ pollution. Pollution from homes‚ factories‚ power stations‚ cars‚ and many more

Soda Ash Analysis and Volumetric Analysis of a Carbonate-Bicarbonate Mixture De Guzman‚ Danica Justine R. Department of Chemical Engineering‚ Faculty of Engineering University of Santo Tomas Espana‚ Manila Abstract Titration is a laboratory method in which the endpoint of a reaction is determined quantitatively. In this experiment‚ the amount of soda ash present in a sample was determined and the alkalinity reported as it was titrated using HCl as the titrant. Also‚ the percentage

DETERMINATION OF THE SOLUBILITY PRODUCT CONSTANT OF CALCIUM HYDROXIDE ABSTRACT This experiment aimed to determine the solubility product constant (Ksp) of Ca(OH)2 as well as to evaluate the effects of common and non-common ions on its solubility. Ca(OH)2 solids were dissolved in eight various media: distilled water‚ 1.0 M KCl‚ 0.5 M KCl‚ 0.1 M KCl‚ 0.05 M KCl‚ 0.005 M KCl‚ 0.001 M KCl‚ and 0.1 M Ca(NO3)2. The concentration of dissociated OH- concentrations was determined by means of titrimetric

Lithium Carbonate and Bipolar Disorder Lithium is a naturally occurring element that is refined to treat certain psychiatric disorders like bipolar disorder. Lithium is a naturally formed element‚ and can be found in many foods. The element has various forms such as lithium carbonate‚ lithium orotate‚ and lithium aspartate (“The Science and Practice”). The differences in lithium lie within the effects of salt on molecular weight‚ and the percentage of lithium. Lithium carbonate specifically is used
