Carboxylic acids are organic acids characterized by the presence of a carboxyl group‚ -COOH. This acid acts as a weak acid‚ which can react with a strong base. Carboxylic acids form hydrogen bonds with many water molecules and are more soluble with one to four carbon atoms. Also‚ it may have an R group that consist of hydrogen or an alkyl group that changes its water solubility. Carboxylic acids with low molecular weight have odor at room temperature and higher molecular weight are solid and have low

TITLE: Water Based Drilling Fluid Analysis EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Analysis of drilling fluids is essential to their performance. In this laboratory exercise the aim is to test three drilling fluid samples for; density and rheological properties‚ Fluid loss‚ chemical analysis i.e. testing pH‚ alkalinity‚ testing for chloride ions‚ calcium carbonate‚ calcium‚ bentonite; also determining the amount of solids present in the samples as well as volumes of oil‚ water and solids contained in the sample‚ and

Lab 1: Scientific Method Using Lifesaver Elia Ocasio Bio 121 K.L. Box Performed: August 29‚ 2013 Submitted: September 5‚ 2013 Introduction The solubility depends on the properties of a solvent that will allow interaction with a solute more strongly than do solvent particles together. Water is the universal solvent. Water‚ certainly dissolves many types of substances and in greater amounts than any other solvent. The salt is a compound consisting of various minerals‚ and is one of the most abundant

The purpose of this experiment was to successfully produce stilbene dibromide by using a more sustainable approach‚ which would prevent less environmental issues. This was done by brominating trans-stilbene and then using the elimination process on the dibrominated product. This process is considered “greener” compared to the original bromination procedures. In order to create the alkyl halides‚ which are able to undergo chemical transformations more readily than the carbon-carbon double bond‚ onto

Hydrogen Fuel As An Alternative Energy Source To Replace Fossil Fuels Since the beginning of industry humans have been in search of fuel to power machines and generate energy. Fossil fuels‚ such as crude oil and coal‚ discovered beneath the Earth’s surface were found to be an excellent source of fuel. These fossil fuels are burnt in order to generate the energy required to complete various tasks. Many nations count on coal‚ oil and natural gas to supply most of their energy needs‚ but reliance

Affecting the Rate of Enzyme Activity Justin Hunter G. Kim September 16‚ 2011 September 26‚ 2011 Abstract Catalase is a common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms that is frequently used by cells to rapidly catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into less reactive oxygen and water molecules. Catalase is a protein that is most commonly found in the liver. The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effect that changes in temperature and pH have on the function of the

An Experiment to Test the Effect of Temperature on the Rate of Photosynthesis in Green Algae Background Photosynthesis is an amazing process where plants are able to create their own food as well as oxygen using sunlight‚ carbon dioxide (co2)‚ and water. The part of the plant responsible for photosynthesis is the enzymes in the chlorophyll (structures that carry out photosynthesis located in leaves). Photosynthesis is the process of creating glucose. Water + Carbon Dioxide + Sunlight = Glucose

INTRODUCTION The measurement of fluid flow is very important in our daily life from measurements of blood-flow rates in human artery to the measurement of liquid oxygen in a rocket. In this experiment‚ students are to adapt to various ways to measure the flow of essentially incompressible fluids by using the flow measuring apparatus. Students will also be able to understand the application of Bernoulli’s equation in this experiment. The flow is measured by using a venture meter‚ an orifice meter
