potassium and chloride is an ionic bond. The potassium becomes a cation and the chloride an anion. The potassium end of the molecule becomes slightly positive and the other end slightly negative. Na – sodium contains metallic bonding. It has a high melting due to the bonding and has strong bonds. Each sodium atom is being touched by eight other sodium atoms and they all share electrons between the nuclei and shells. The electrons can move freely within the sodium metal and therefore can conduct electricity

RECRYSTALLIZATION AND MELTING POINT DETERMINATION OF BENZOIC ACID ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS 1. How does the use of fluted filter paper hasten filtration? Why is it advisable to place a small piece of wire between the funnel and the mouth of the flask during hot filtration? Fluted filter paper is effective in preventing crystal formation in the filter paper. It is also often used in filtering hot saturated solution used during crystallization. One major advantage of a fluted filter is that it increases

(47.48% yield). The crude acetaminophen was then recrystallized in a solvent of water and methanol over heat resulting in 0.082 grams (39.61% yield) of pure acetaminophen. Melting points of both crude and pure acetaminophen were taken‚ and found to be 165.9 - 170.9°C and 168.2 - 171.5°C‚ respectively. The literature melting point of acetaminophen is 169.5 – 171.0°C‚ indicating that our final product was pure. Introduction The synthesis of acetaminophen involves the attraction

Switzerland’s renowned glaciers and snowy mountains not only serve as natural water storage for Switzerland and nearing countries‚ but also attract tourists for sightseeing and skiing‚ which boosts their economy. These great ice masses help preserve the climate zones that drive weather patterns. The glaciers comprise unique ecosystems

patterns and most importantly the increase in the melting of the worlds most important glaciers in the world. Mount Kilimanjaro is a popular example of climate change effecting the melting of its glaciers‚ but many researchers question this. According to climate scientist at the University of Washington‚ Philip Mote‚ global warming is in fact the reason for every other glacier in the world melting‚ however Mount Kilimanjaro has shown evidence of its glaciers steadily receding for over a century now‚ and

Animals becoming extinct‚ less available clean drinking water‚ glaciers rapidly melting‚ countries becoming flooded; these and many more are all problems we are facing in our everyday lives due to global warming. “The warnings about global warming have been extremely clear for a long time. We are facing a global climate crisis. It is deepening. We are entering a period of consequences.” Said Al Gore in a speech at the National Sierra Club Convention in 2005. Many would agree with Gore in taking the

communication‚ thereby slowing decision making and productivity. For example‚ Argentina passed a law that protected their glaciers and permafrost‚ “which looked as if it might prevent the Argentinian part of the project from going forward.” (Barrick Gold case‚ pp.11). The cause of the problem stems from Barrick Gold not keeping their promise. They proposed to transport the most affected glaciers farther away from the mining site‚ but did not live up to that promise. The symptoms of the problem include the

indicate that since the 1920’s the earth’s temperature has been rising each year. Also‚ one major indicator of global warming is what is happening to glaciers around the world. Glaciers in the Alps like the Rhone glacier have receded about 2.5 kilometers since 1859 due to melting. The fact that temperatures are rising and that glaciers are melting confirms that global warming is occurring. After proving that global warming is real the next step to the argument is that global warming is man made

Now‚ we are facing with this big problem‚ the global warming is a one of the most important‚ but it also cause this problem‚ the melting ice. The whole amounts of ice are melting and shrink slowly by the time‚ the main reason is temperature rising. The cryosphere is also melting beneath the ground‚ transforming to tundra landscapes (Eyewitness).
