Formation of an Alkene by Alcohol Dehydration Lab Report Balanced Chemical Equation for the Main Reaction Mechanism The acid-catalyzed dehydration of secondary and tertiary alcohols involves non-isolable carbocation intermediaries. In the first step of the of the reaction mechanism below‚ a phosphoric acid catalyst adds a proton to the oxygen atom of the alcohol to form an oxonium ion. The OH is converted to a better leaving group as the positive charge on the oxygen weakens the carbon-oxygen

MACROMOLECULS LAB: What are the mystery powders? Period: 4 Asia Enoch Introduction: A carbohydrate is an immediate form of energy in your body. Monomers is smaller than a polymer. For carbohydrate the monomer is sugar and the polymer is a polysaccharides. Carbohydrates are important to our body because we need to use energy. The purpose of this lab is to figure which one is the monomer and which one is the polymer. Hypothesis: If I place two drops of iodine into the mystery powder‚ it

Introduction The purpose of this lab was to test different antacids‚ to find out which would be the most effective to take. Stomach acid problems come from a overproduction‚ and build up of gastric acid (HCl). In order to determine which antacid is the more effective‚ four different brands of antacids were chosen‚ and tested. The purpose of an antacid is to balance out the pH inside a person’s stomach. PH is the measurement of molar concentration of hydrogen ions that are present in the solution

Michael Pitner Chem 253- TA: Gia Hoang Lab 1: Effect of pH on a Food Preservative 9-1-2011 Purpose The purpose of this lab was to determine if a new substance forms when sodium benzoate is placed in a simulated stomach acid. Theory Benzoic acid can be found in a wide variety of plants. It is used as a natural preservative in many foods. Sodium benzoate‚ the salt of benzoic acid‚ has become a more popular choice as a food preservative because it is more soluble in water than benzoic acid
