Liquid Crystals from Coconut Oil Fatty Acids - Investigatory Project Liquid Crystals from Coconut Oil Fatty Acids Abstract Liquid crystals are fluids that are between the solid and conventional liquid phases. Liquid crystals are in widespread use‚ especially in optical technologies. They are synthesized by combining fatty acids with cholesterol. This study aims to utilize coconut oil as an alternative source of fatty acids for synthesizing liquid crystals since coconut is cheap and abundant

Diffusion of Hydrochloric Acid into Different Sizes of Agar Blocks Aim: Investigating the relationship between the diffusion and the surface area to volume ratio‚ with agar and hydrochloric acid. Research Question: How does the difference in surface area to volume ratio affect the diffusion? Hypothesis: As the area to volume ratio increases‚ the time taken for a complete diffusion will also increase. Background Information: Agar is a jelly like substance and in this experiment‚ agar

Gracen Seiler April 7th‚ 2015 Section- 109 Investigating Stoichiometry with Sodium Salts of Carbonic Acid Introduction- This experiment is intended to help find a better understanding of chemical stoichiometry through titrations of NaHCO3 and NA2CO3 with HCl. A chemical reaction is a process that involves rearrangement of the molecular or ionic structure of a substance‚ as opposed to a change in physical form in a nuclear reaction. Titration is when a measured amount of

The global market for adipic acid is expected to reach USD 7‚240.8 million by 2020‚ according to a new study by Grand View Research‚ Inc. Growing demand for nylon resins and fiber from major end use industries such as automotive and electronics mainly in BRIC nations is expected to remain a key driving factor for the market over the next six years. However‚ volatility in raw material prices coupled with stringent regulations in Europe and North America on account of growing environmental concerns

Main aim of experiment 5 is to use the biuret test to quantify the concentration of the Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) then constructing a standard curve graph and to use the spectrophotometer to perform an enzyme assay using different concentration of the BSA. Experiment 5 also verifies the Beer-Lambert Law‚ which is the linear relationship between absorbance and concentration of an absorbing species. Absorbance formula is shown in fig. 1.1. However‚ the Beer-Lambert Law is not obeyed at high concentration

The writing of The Gallic Wars by himself in third person was a propaganda to portray himself as a successful military commander. I think Julius Caesar was a man with ambition to become greater and to gain popular support of the people for more power in controlling the government of Rome. In the book‚ these are many of the fine qualities like: talent for commander‚ persuasive speaker both military and politically‚ and ambition for glory that Caesar had or he portrayed himself to enabled to triumph

Both excerpts illustrate the Gallic siege of the Roman camp‚ but from two different perspectives: the first from the perspective of the Romans‚ and the second from the perspective of the Gauls. While Caesar portrays the Romans as hardworking and well prepared for the siege‚ he portrays the Gauls as ignorant and savage. Caesar portrays the persistent nature of the Romans while they are preparing for the Gallic siege of their camp. He uses “working” verbs such as “instituitur” (line 6)‚ “contabulantur”
