done to understand and compare the physical properties of the hydrocarbons. Several reactions such as Bromination‚ oxidation‚ and the addition of sulfuric acid were done to understand the chemical properties as well as the possible products that may form by each of the classification of hydrocarbons. Preparation of acetylene was also done in this experiment. The properties of the formed acetylene such as the reaction of the acetylene as it undergo Ammoniacal silver nitrate test‚ Bromination and oxidation

many instructions per second the processor canexecute. In both cases‚ the higher the value‚ the more powerful the CPU. For example‚ a 32-bit microprocessor that runs at 50MHz is more powerful than a 16-bit microprocessor that runs at 25MHz. In addition to bandwidth and clock speed‚ microprocessors are classified as being either RISC (reduced instruction set computer) or CISC (complex instruction set computer). 2. what is

Introduction Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) In 1988‚ the government launched the CARP through Republic Act (RA) 6657‚ seeking the distribution of some 10M hectares of agricultural lands to farmers and regular farm workers. The government also directed specific agencies to provide the required support services and other factors needed to ensure socio-economic upliftment of the lives of the beneficiaries through Executive Order (EO) No. 229. The DTI’s participation in the CARP was

Nick Dale TA: Alekhya 6/15/15 The SN2 Reaction: Factors Affecting SN2 Reaction. Introduction In the substitution reactions‚ the leaving group from the substrate is replaced with the nucleophile. Because of the nucleophile it is called nucleophilic substitution. The lone pair of electrons‚ present on the nucleophile is used to create a new bond with the carbon atom‚ from which the leaving group was separated. There are two different mechanisms of nucleophilic substitution: SN1 and SN2. The difference

Economy - overviewzz Philippine GDP grew 7.6% in 2010‚ spurred by consumer demand‚ a rebound in exports and investments‚ and election-related spending‚ before cooling to 3.7% in 2011. The economy weathered the 2008-09 global recession better than its regional peers due to minimal exposure to troubled international securities‚ lower dependence on exports‚ relatively resilient domestic consumption‚ large remittances from four- to five-million overseas Filipino workers‚ and a growing business process

Nucleophilic Substitution | Synthesis of n-Butyl Bromide and t-Pentyl Chloride | | Jessica | [Pick the date] | Abstract The synthesis of the alkyl halide n-Butyl Bromide from alcohol is the foundation for the experiment. During the isolation of the n-butyl bromide‚ the crude product is washed with sulfuric acid‚ water‚ and sodium bicarbonate to remove any remaining acid or n-butyl alcohol. The primary alkyl halide halide n-butyl bromide is prepared by allowing n-butyl alcohol to react with
