UV4297 March 24‚ 2010 THE ABERDEEN EXPERIMENT The phone rang yet again‚ but Sarah Mann‚ general manager of the BAE Systems plant in Aberdeen‚ South Dakota‚ was ready. Experience told her what the question would be: Had the “Aberdeen experiment‚” begun by Bob Lancaster when the plant was built‚ undergone any changes over the past quarter century? From the beginning‚ Lancaster’s design and management of the plant‚ which produced missile launch canisters for the U.S. Navy‚ were unusual—and successful

pleasant‚ fruit-like odors and are the chemicals responsible for the odors and flavors of many fruits (oranges‚ bananas‚ pineapples) and flowers. In most cases‚ such natural products get their properties from a mixture of organic compounds. In this experiment you will prepare two esters of o-hydroxybenzoic acid‚ more commonly known as salicylic acid. One of the esters‚ acetylsalicylic acid‚ is aspirin‚ the common analgesic. We will synthesize aspirin by mixing salicylic acid with acetic anhydride. The

tightly. This experiment looked if the surface area to volume ratio affected the speed of a chemical reaction. For this experiment‚ a film container was filled one-half full with water. Then an Alka-Seltzer tablet was added‚ quickly covered with a cap and was observed until the film cap popped off. The time was then immediately recorded and the procedure was the repeated three times each with whole and crushed Alka-Seltzer tablets. Then results from three fellow classmates’ experiments would be recorded

The main focus of this experiment was to find the relationship between temperature and the enzyme activity of amylase. This was achieved by attaining amylase enzyme‚ starch solution and potassium iodide (determines if enzymes hydrolyses the starch solution)‚ water bath and a hot plate. The temperatures used for this experiment were room temperature‚ 37oC‚ 60oC‚ 80oC‚ and 90oC. The hypothesis developed was that as the temperature increased‚ so will enzyme activity. Therefore‚ the ability of the
