Had the spectral data been correct‚ a small triplet would have been observed near 7.30ppm‚ representing the lone hydrogen (1H) located on the topmost carbon of the aromatic ring shown at the top of the molecule. This shift value falls in line with standard aromatic proton shift values between 6.0-9.2ppm. The third‚ fourth and fifth proton environments were represented

What observation supports the formation of the Cu2+ ions in the solutions? The 15mL of nitric acid and the heat from the Bunsen burner supports the formation of the Cu2+ ion. Why was it important to perform this reaction in the fume hood? It is important because the chemicals produce a toxic gas. Is there any copper metal left after you have completed this step? If not‚ where is the copper? No‚ there is no copper left. It dissolved in the nitric acid solution. Did you initially observe the formation

Kinetics of the Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide Lab Introduction: In this week’s lab experiment‚ the rate of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide forming oxygen gas will be observed and studied. Since the rate of a chemical reaction is dependent on two things; the concentrations of the reactants and the temperature at which the process is performed‚ the rate can be measured at which a reactant disappears or at which a product appears. When measuring the rate‚ the rate law will be applied. The
