Experiment 8: Synthesis of Adipic Acid Performed November 8th & 10th By Jennifer Seitz Organic Chemistry 344 Section 803 Fall 2011 Objective: The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize adipic acid from cyclohexanol via an oxidation reaction that was catalyzed by sulfuric acid. Purity of the product was assessed by measuring the melting point. Physical Properties/Structures: Name | Formula | Molecular Weight (g/mol) | Boiling Point (0C) | Melting Point(0C) | Density(g/mL)

"One person’s craziness is another person’s reality"(Tim Burton). In this quote‚ Tim Burton is pointing out that people have our own reality. Philosophically‚ reality is whatever we think or perceive. There is no true or real perspective. Our perspective depends on our morals and beliefs. All our life‚ we perceive knowledge and information through different forms of language. Hence‚ our perspective is also limited by the language. Language is one of the unique things that people have.

People should savor the experience at hand rather then consume material things. In Mark A. Burch’s story “The Technology of Simplicity” and Gilles Pinette’s poem “A Bedtime Story”‚ both of the protagonists of the passages‚ Mark and George Longarrow‚ are represented as examples of the individuals who would rather savor the experience then consume material things. In “The Technology of Simplicity”‚ the writer is conscious of the materialistic world. While spending his time with his children during

In a matter of scale‚ the perspective of life differs dramatically between the large and the small. The things we see in nature every day‚ sometimes it makes me think we live in a strange world. The similarities between “Joyas Volardores” and “A Matter of Scale” are that they both go in depth with nature. In “Joyas Volardores‚” Doyle talks about the heart of a hummingbird and a blue whale

In the first reaction‚ magnesium was burned to produce magnesium oxide. The reaction produced a bright light‚ which is evidence of a chemical change. The second reaction occurred as a result of solid magnesium reacting with hydrochloric acid. The reaction produced heat and bubbles‚ both indications of a chemical change. A wood splint was used to determine that the gas produced was hydrogen gas‚ hence the other product is magnesium dichloride. In the third reaction‚ ammonium carbonate was heated to

Staphylococcus aureus‚ otherwise known as Staph‚ is a bacterium that has naturally acquired resistance to many current antibiotics. Specifically‚ the MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) strain has acquired resistance to methicillin. Staph frequently colonizes in human nasal passages‚ which serve as reservoirs for transmission. The following texts focus on Staph’s nasal colonization and mode of transmission‚ inspired by the research of Dr. Alexander Cole at UCF’s Burnett School of Biomedical

. Yes‚ comparably to TLC plate 2 and 3. The benzophenone is more neutral but as the same time its nonpolar‚ being that Silica gel in TLC 2 was polar and the solvent ethyl acetate-hexane is non-polar it moved relatively with the solvent. The stationary phase in TLC 3‚ alumina is non polar and the solvent ethyl acetate is polar so from the ideal that polar does not attract non-polar benzophenone stick stronger to alumina non-polar rather than moving up with polar solvent ethyl acetate as it did in
