Oxidation Number When elements combine to produce a compound‚ each element is assigned an “apparent” charge. This apparent charge‚ the charge an atom would have if both electrons in each bond were assigned to the more electronegative element‚ may be positive or negative. It is called the oxidation number or state of the element in the compound. Oxidation numbers are very useful in keeping track of what happens to electrons when various elements combine to form compounds. By remembering a few

Lab 5 Oxidation of an alcohol CHM2123 Introduction: Oxidation is a key reaction in organic chemistry. Oxidation of an alcohol can produce aldehydes‚ ketones‚ or carboxylic acids. One of the methods of oxidation is an aldol reaction through carbon-carbon bonds. The oxidation oxidizes primary alcohols to aldehydes and secondary alcohols oxidizes ketones. Tertiary alcohols are converted to the common oxidizing agents. Scheme 5.1: Aldehydes can be oxidized easily to carboxylic acids in aqueous medias

Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to investigate the reliability of the activity series of metals by testing in solution‚ confirming if the activity series was correct with its predictions. Hypothesis: It is predicted that the metals in solid form will displace metals in solution if located higher over the other within the activity series chart. Materials: 10 test tubes Test tube holder Metals in Solid Form 1. Aluminum 2. Iron 3. Zinc 4. Magnesium 5. Zinc 6. Aluminum 7. Copper

WHAT IS HARM REDUCTION? Harm reduction is a set of practical strategies intended to reduce the negative consequences of high risk behavior such as over drinking or drug abuse. Harm reduction is a non judgmental approach that attempts to meet people where they are at with their drinking or drug abuse. Instead of demanding perfect abstinence‚ this pragmatic approach is supportive of anyone who wishes to minimize the harm associated with a high risk behavior such as drinking or drug abuse. Harm

experiment of making borneol from camphor (FIGURE-3) is performed in two different methods‚ Sodium Borohydride Reduction and Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley Reduction‚ to compare the relative product ratio of borneol to isoborneol. The concept of reduction and also oxidation‚ the opposite procedure of reduction‚ deals mostly with electron transfer between atoms. It will not be elaborated here‚ but the reduction procedure involved in this experiment is basically adding hydrogens and losing the carbon-oxygen double

Preparation of food takes a lot of time. Even if the dish is only composed of fruits. A lot of dishes have vegetables in them. These can also be useful especially when preparing lots of different food at the same time. If you look at cooking websites they will suggest to use lemon water. In our experiment we will attempt to find out which is better at preserving the sliced‚ chopped‚ and or diced food. Since our experiments are limited by time and costs‚ we will stick to the simplest of the available

increased the amount of carbon dioxide being released into our environment. The team of researchers also discovered that magnified pyrite (commonly known as fool’s gold) oxidation created acidity that allowed carbon dioxide into our oceans and altered the Earth’s carbon cycle. Over a time period of 10‚000 years‚ glacial oxidation could have altered the concentration of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere by nearly
