The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize triphenylmethanol from a Grignard reagent. The Grignard reaction technique was used in this synthesis but due to the fact that it is such a strong nucleophile and base‚ it was important to prevent water from interfering with the Grignard reaction. Purity of the product was determined by measuring the melting point. Reagent Table: Structure Name Molecular formula Molar mass Density Melting point Boiling Point Diethyl ether C4H10O

Purpose The goal of this lab is to find out which metals were used in the minting of pennies before and after 1982 by calculating their densities. Hypothesis If the penny was made after 1982 then its density will be higher than those made before 1982. Materials • 1 Graduated cylinder • 30 mL of water • 10 pennies minted before 1982 • 10 pennies minted after 1982 • 1 electric scale Procedure The mass of ten pennies minted before 1982 was calculated five times using the scale and then averaged

BIO 211 Lab Section 11 February 15‚ 2012 Effects of Temperature on Enzymatic Activity Abstract Temperature is a measure of kinetic energy. As this movement increases‚ collision rate and intensity‚ and therefore reaction rates‚ increase. This experiment was conducted to determine if there is a minimum temperature that increase kinetic energy and denature enzymes to slow enzymatic reactions or fail to catalyze them. The experimental results indicate an increase in temperature will increase reaction

Enzymes Reactions to Changes in Substrate and Inhibitors Benjamin J. Mora Coronado University of Texas Rio Grande Valley at Edinburgh Abstract Purpose for the experiments was to test the enzymes in various scenarios and see how changing this would affect the rate of reaction. The enzyme source used in the experiments was Turnip Extract. Concentrations of Turnip extract for activity 1 where o.5ml‚ 1.0ml‚ and 2.0 ml as for the rest of the activities 2 Through 4 stayed at a consistent concentration

The effect of temperature on the reaction rate: As the temperature increases it provides more kinetic energy to the molecules allowing them to move faster and with more energy the molecules can overcome the activation energy barrier and therefore the reaction occurs faster. 5. Since the proposed mechanism is a SN1 reaction the reaction got faster as the polarity increased. This is because SN1 reactions work best with polar protic solvents as they stabilize the carbocation. Therefore‚ as seen

From this lab we can learn to observe physical properties of varying substances as well as to use chemical reactions to observe chemical observe the chemical properties of varying substances. In experiment #1‚ we were able to detect physical properties of the aluminum and copper sulfate simply by looking at the substances. We then combined the two substances to see if they would create a chemical reaction and test the chemical properties. After being combined‚ bubbles and gas were created and the

Managing a Crisis Using PR I recently completed a simulation entitled‚ "Managing a Crisis Using PR." My role during the simulation was that of the Public Relations (PR) Manager for Greenergy. Over the course of the simulation I completed three PR scenarios. As a result of the simulation I have gained a firm understanding of proactive planning and the importance it holds in the success of an organization. In this paper I will analyze the simulation and answer a few questions such as; the definition
