Bismuth was discovered in the fifteenth century by a french chemist named Claude Geoffroy the Younger. At first his colleagues thought he was crazy‚ thinking that he had found lead or tin. But Geoffroy had distinguished it as a unique element. The name Bismuth comes from the word Wisuth meaning “white mass”‚ because pure Bismuth is white. When pure bismuth is mixed with lead‚ tin‚iron or cadmium the multi colored Bismuth is created. Bismuth falls under the pnictogen family. This family consists

When it comes to organic chemistry and the synthesis of specific products there is an abundant amount of routes that can be taken and still get you the same result. For the following experiment‚ the main focus is the use of a cycloaddition reaction‚ also known as Diels-Alder. According to the lab manual‚ this reaction consists of the addition of a diene and a dienophile and that the Diels-Alder reaction builds stereospecific ring compounds with ease (Weldegirma 80). The reaction takes place between

Organic Chemistry I Simple and Fractional Distillation The Simple and Fractional distillation experiment was divided into two parts. We split up the procedure in this experiment. My group did the simple distillation and we received the Fractional distillation from another group in class. In this experiment‚ we examined the effectiveness of fractional and simple distillation to determine which is more successful at extracting a pure sample. This experiment was very successful. We are able to
