William son Eth er Synth esis Introduction In this reaction‚ an alcohol is deprotonated to form a good nucleophile‚ which then attacks the electrophile methyl iodide to form an ether. Tetrabutylammonium bromide‚ a phase transfer catalyst‚ is used to carry ions back and forth between the organic phase and the aqueous phase. OH O NaOH + NaI + H2O CH3I Before coming to lab‚ please review the following techniques: "Reluxing a reaction‚" "Extraction and washing‚" "Drying an Organic Solvent‚" "Evaporating

Richard Shweder’s article about female genital mutilation‚ or alteration‚ explores the cultural perceptions and meanings behind this custom‚ which is practiced among many societies globally (Shweder). The modern number of women undergoing this coming-of-age ritual varies wildly between eighty and two hundred million (Shweder). Shweder’s research investigated the vastly large gap in the extreme perceptions of female circumcision from culture to culture‚ focusing on the lack of knowledge and understanding

Alterations in Respiratory Function 1. Define and use the key terms as listed in the assigned readings 2. Using the four adaptive modes of Roy’s Adaptation Model (RAM)‚ recognize human adaptive responses to behavior or stimuli that affect respiratory function. 3. Identify differences‚ which affect the respiratory system in young‚ middle‚ and older adults. 4. Identify signs and symptoms of acute respiratory distress from impaired gas exchange. 5. Incorporate assessment of respiratory

Experiment #8 – properties of Alcohols and Phenols Introduction As has been mentioned before‚ over 20 million organic compounds have been identified. If each substance had to be studied as an entity completely separate from all the other substances‚ the study of organic chemistry as a whole would be impossible; that is to say‚ even more impossible than you currently believe it to be. Fortunately‚ the subject can be organized and it is often organized around the concept of the functional group

of numerous atomic dipoles‚ all pointing in the same direction. A strong magnetic field will align the domains of a ferromagnet‚ or in other words‚ magnetize it. Once the magnetic field is removed‚ the domains will remain aligned‚ resulting in a permanent magnet. This effect is known as hysteresis. Few materials are actually ferromagnetic; however‚ all substances have a diamagnetic nature. Diamagnetism means that the molecules within a

Addiction as Choice? Andria Burgess Introduction to Psychology Addiction as Choice? Substance abuse is a pervasive problem throughout the United States. It affects all populations‚ socioeconomic groups‚ ages‚ and races. Within the community of substance abuse treatment providers‚ there is an ongoing debate on whether addiction is a disease‚ or whether individuals who abuse substances choose to engage in the behavior. There is evidence to support both positions. This paper will examine
