Our data displayed supports the notion that by increasing the acidity of the catalyst‚ the production of aspirin will increase. Our hypothesis was proven correct. In our data‚ we calculated the percent yield and percent error of each trial. We also calculated the average of the percent yields and the percent errors of each catalyst. In the end‚ we saw that for the sulphuric acid catalyzed aspirin‚ we saw an average of 69.7% percent yield and an average 30.3% percent error. As for the phosphoric acid

The characteristic properties of slime can be explained by polymerisation reactions. Polymers can be explained most simply by the polymerisation of the molecule ethylene into polyethylene (see figure 1 below). Figure 1. Polymerisation of polyethylene from ethylene. In this example‚ the double bond between the carbon atoms is broken‚ allowing each carbon atom to form one more bond between another molecule. The double bond between the carbon atoms is weaker because the type of orbital is ‚ compared
