Structural Effects on Stability and Reactivity. Organic Chemstry Laboratory Structural Effects on Stability and Reactivity Introduction The concepts of stability and reactivity are fundamental to understanding chemistry. In this chapter we consider first the thermodynamic definition of chemical stability. We then consider chemical kinetics (Section 3.2) and how it can provide information about reactivity. We also explore how structure influences stability and reactivity. We want to learn how

Organic chemistry Organic chemistry is one of the ‘branches’ of chemistry and is seen as distinct from other branches‚ such as inorganic and physical chemistry. It can be described as the chemistry living processes (often referred to as biochemistry) but extends beyond that. It focuses almost entirely on the chemistry of covalently bonded carbon molecules and as well as life processes‚ it includes the chemistry of other types of compounds‚ including plastics‚ petrochemicals‚ drugs and paint

happens to the amounts of gas produced in a catalyzed reaction of Hydrogen Peroxide when the catalyst is mixed with an acid? Theory/Hypothesis: In this experiment the researcher and their team will be performing tests on a catalyst (proteins found in potato) to see what will happen when the catalyst in a Hydrogen Peroxide reaction is treated with an acid before the reaction occurs. The researcher hypothesizes that the after treating the catalyst with an acid the amount of gas pressure produced will

EFFECT OF INTEREST RATE ON FOREIGHN EXCHANGE RATE (EVIDENCE FROM ASIAN REGION) ABSTRACT: In this article we investigate the impact of a change in U.S. short term interest rates relative to those in some Asian countries like Bangladesh‚ Thailand‚ Japan‚ Pakistan‚ and China on the bilateral foreign exchange rates between the U.S dollar and each country’s currency. Several factors determine the exchange rate of a country. A higher currency makes a country’s exports more expensive and imports cheaper

bombs and hydrogen bombs. The hydrogen bomb is the most powerful‚ destructive bomb of all. In this essay I’m going to give a brief history of the hydrogen bomb‚ the chemistry behind the bomb‚ and how much destruction the hydrogen bomb can do. After the Soviet Union’s atomic bomb success during the cold war‚ the U.S wanted something bigger and stronger. In 1950‚ President Harry S. Truman announced work on the hydrogen bomb. A group of scientists led by Edward Teller created the first hydrogen bomb in

Effects of Organic Food on Drosophila Melanogaster A new study has shown that fruit flies that lived on organic foods tended to be healthier than those that lived on conventional foods. The two things that researchers based their conclusions for health on were fertility and longevity. These two things are two important aspects to a fly’s life. On both of these tests‚ the flies that were fed organic food performed better than the flies that were fed conventional food. They survived for a longer

Title: to get organic food Specific purpose: Organic food advocates claim that organically grown foods are safer and more nutritious than foods raised with non-organic methods such as pesticide and non-organic fertilizer use‚ or antibiotic and hormone use. Thesis statement: Many people just don’t trust these chemicals and don’t want to put them into their bodies. Since virtually all non-organically produced foods contain residues of pesticides‚ fertilizers and other chemicals‚ the only way to

is collapses and the solid is converted into liquid. The trend in structure is from the metallic oxides containing giant structures of ions on the left of the period via a giant covalent oxide in the middle to molecular oxides on the right. Sodium peroxide‚ magnesium oxide and aluminum oxide are metallic oxide which have high melting and boiling point compared to other period 3 oxide. This is due to their giant ionic structure and the strong ionic bond. Strong ionic bond in the molecule need more energy

SCH4U 03/04/13 Hydrogen Bonding Purpose: The purpose of this investigation is to test the concept of hydrogen bonding. Hypothesis: Given the concept of hydrogen bonding I predict that the bulky glycerol molecules limits the number of possible hydrogen bonds. If water is mixed with glycerol should make it possible for water to form many hydrogen bonds with the glycerol molecules‚ causing it to become a exothermic reaction. Because glycerol has more possibilities for hydrogen bonding I believe

percentage content of ethanol in 3 samples (spirit‚ wine and a beer). We would be comparing the concentration of ethanol to that of 25%propanol which would act as an internal standard. Method To set up the standards for a calibration curve we would make solutions of different concentrations of ethanol. Using a 25cm3 volumetric flask we would put 10cm3 of 25% Propanol into each one which would act as an internal standard. We would then add differing amounts of ethanol (0.5 cm3‚ 1.0cm3‚ 2.0cm3and
