What are trans fatty acids‚ and where do they come from? We’re used to hearing about saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids - which come from animal fats (meat‚ lard‚ dairy products) as well as tropical oils such as coconut and palm oils - raise the levels of LDL cholesterol. Unsaturated fats - which come from vegetable oils - in general‚ do not increase cholesterol levels‚ and may reduce them. Because saturated fatty acids were found to be bad for you a couple decades ago

How Much Sodium Bicarbonate Is In the Mixture? Lab Investigation 14 Chemistry 113 Lab 10/13/2011 1) Method 1: Adding acid NaHCO3 + HCl → NaCl + CO2 + H2O a) Unknown mixture of NaCl and NaHCO3 Mass of unknown mixture (NaCl + NaHCO3) | 3 g | Mass of HCl | 30 .31g | Mass of products ( NaCl + H2O ) | 26.98 g | Calculate mass of CO2 | 6.33g | Calculate mass of NaHCO3 | 12 .1 g | i) Calculation : Mass of CO2 = [Mass of unknown mixture (NaCl + NaHCO3) + Mass of HCl ] – [Mass of NaCl

Acid Rains There are three gases which could cause acid rain‚ which are Sulphur Dioxide (sulphuric acid)‚ NOx (oxides of nitrogen which produce nitric acid) and also perhaps Carbon Dioxide (weak carbonic acid)‚ produces these acids because these gases dissolve in rain water/ precipitation and this forms a weak version of the acid‚ as the gases dissolve it lowers the pH of the rainwater. I think that there has been a increase in the production of acid rain‚ due to the fact that the country as a

be used as intermediates to produce other functional groups (e.g.‚ amines‚ esters‚ and alkenes). Alkyl halides have the general formula RX (where R= alkyl/substituted alkyl group and X = F‚ Cl‚ Br‚ or I.) They are insoluble in water and sulfuric acid and are soluble in organic solvents.[3] They are synthesized for their many uses. There are several ways by which alkyl halides can be synthesized. Some of those are halogenation of alkanes with Cl2 or Br2‚ addition of HX to

is a strong acid and therefore almost completely disassociates into H+ and CL-. Therefore‚ when HCl is used in a titration‚ the H+ is the titrant. Carbonate in aqueous solution is able to accept a proton‚ i.e. it acts as a base. When carbonate accepts the H+ a bicarbonate ion is formed. Na2CO3(aq) + HCl(aq) NaHCO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) This is not the complete reaction for the titration because bicarbonate is able to accept one more proton. This reaction produces carbonic acid which decomposes

Trimyrisitin to Sodium Myristate to Myrisitic Acid Mandy Boyle Chem 213‚ Section 002 Due Date: December 3‚ 2009 I. Introduction People encounter esters everyday in both natural and synthesized forms. Esters are present in a variety of common compounds‚ from fragrances to animal fat (McMurry‚ 2008). Although these esters can undergo many different important reactions‚ this lab is particularly interested in the hydrolysis of esters into carboxylic acids and alcohols. Companies such as Dove‚ Palmolive

Pre- Lab 8 Objective: The purpose of this experiment is to determine the percent composition of pennies using oxidation-reduction and double displacement reactions as well as titration techniques. We will take a post 1982 penny and place in a strong acid dissolving the zinc core and leaving behind the copper coating. We will figure out the percent composition from the mass of copper and zinc using titration and precipitation. Procedure: 1) First dissolve the zinc core of a penny and leave copper covering
