Discussion The reaction through which 4-mrthaoxyacetophenone is converted to 4-methoxybenzoic acid is a haloform reaction. This reaction involves two distinct stages that occur in the same environment. The first stage occurs through the based-catalyzed halogenation of the ketone that forms a trihalo ketone. First‚ the bleach is transformed into chlorine and hydroxide ions through the following reaction: Then‚ the hydroxyl is able to attack the rather acidic (pKa ~ 20) α-hydrogen of the ketone

Buchenwald Concentration Camp was one of the many concentration camps‚ Just because it wasn’t well-known doesn’t mean it isn’t important to know about and how they dehumanized many Jews. Life for the Jews was difficult not just because of the labor‚ Starvation and having bad hygiene was one of the many ways that Jews had to live threw while in Buchenwald. They were used as test subjects by the doctors that were there and were also starved‚ the guard made them go as long as 8 days without food and

Elimination Reactions ________________________________________ As described previously‚ primary alkyl halides generally undergo substitution reactions with simple nucleophiles by an SN2 mechanism. Secondary alkyl halides‚ often react with simple basic nucleophiles to give a mixture of products arising from both substitution and elimination. As with substitution reactions‚ the rate at which elimination reactions proceed can be proportional to both the concentration of the base and the concentration

and torture!! Although there were many concentration camps‚ Auschwitz was the deadliest and the most inhumane of all. During World War II over 1.6 million people were murdered at Auschwitz in torturous and disturbing ways‚ that changed many families forever.

monosaccharide reducing sugar (Kolej Mara Banting – Students’ Handbook for Biology HL Year 1). It is the simplest form of carbohydrate. In this experiment‚ sulphuric acid‚ H2SO4 and potassium permanganate‚ KMnO4 is added into glucose with different concentration and the time taken for the purple pink colour of potassium permanganate solution to change to colourless is recorded. This is because glucose donates electrons to the permanganate ions‚ causing it to change colour (Kolej Mara Banting – Students’

Rate of Osmosis vs Solute Concentration Introduction: In nature‚ the quest to reach equilibrium‚ or the state of rest or balance due to the equal action of opposing forces (http://www.dictionary.com). Osmosis and diffusion are two ways that cells reach this equilibrium‚ without exerting energy. Due to the unique nature of the phospholipid bilayer‚ small molecules can pass through the semipermeable membrane easily‚ through diffusion (https://www.biologycorner.com). Water‚ however‚ has a slightly more

To begin with‚ a concentration camp is a place where a large amount of people such as Jews are imprisoned in a small area with no freedom‚ and this was established by the Nazis in Germany. In 1933‚ my house was raided by the Nazis and my family was sent to a concentration camp. At the concentration camp is where I met my best friend Anahi. Anahi and I were always awakened by the Kapo very rudely. The “bettenbau” is just a good opportunity for him to beat the prisoners. When we woke up‚ we had to

Auschwitz Concentration Camp Imagine that you were a 14 year old Jewish girl riding with your family and hundreds of other Jews and Gypsies packed into one tiny railroad car. You stop at an unfamiliar place were a man is screaming at you to get out. You have to watch your step getting out of the railcar because there are already dead people on the floor who passed on the trip here.
