Science Coursework-Rates of Reactions Introduction Investigating how the concentration of sodium-thiosulphate (STS) and hydrochloric acid (HCL) affects the rate of reaction in the experiment. In addition I am also checking how different variables affect my experiment and also how I can make my test more precise‚ reliable and accurate. Strategy According to my results‚ as the concentration of STS solution increased the rate of reaction of my experiment was increased. Also as the concentration

But-2-enedioic acid Introduction Cis-trans isomers are a kind of stereoisomers called geometrical isomers. Due to the inability of rotation about the C=C bond‚ some compounds possess cis and trans isomers. But-2-enedioic acid is an example of having both isomers. Maleic acid Fumaric acid Cis and trans isomers have different physical properties such as boiling point‚ solubility‚ density and stability. In this experiment some maleic acid is converted to fumaric acid by

Chemical Reaction of copper compounds Introduction: In this experiment‚ the objective was to conduct a series of chemical reactions that contain copper or copper compounds. That is to say that the products of each chemical reaction were used in the next reaction. The process starts with a solid copper wire dissolved in nitric acid and the end product is copper powder. The product which was used from the previous reaction is the limiting. In the initial step‚ the solid copper is the limiting reactant

April Goodson CHEM 242L-002 February 20‚ 2013 Oxidation of Cyclohexanone to Adipic Acid Abstract The cyclic ketone cyclohexanone was oxidized to adipic acid using the oxidizing agent nitric acid. The experiment yielded 0.2667 grams of adipic acid‚ giving a percent yield of 113.97%. Although the product was allowed to dry for one week‚ residual moisture was still present in the sample and a melting point could not be obtained. This error in the experiment either resulted from adding too much

green gas. (i) Apply damp blue litmus. (Can use red litmus and just see bleaching effect.) (ii) A drop silver nitrate on the end of a glass rod into the gas. (i) litmus turns red and then is bleached white. (ii) White precipitate. (i) Non-metal‚ is acid in aqueous solution and a powerful oxidising agent (ii) It forms a small amount of chloride ion in water‚ so gives a positive result for the chloride test.

SELECTED REDOX REACTIONS RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Oxidation-Reduction reaction also known as redox reaction is a process in which there’s a net movement of electrons between reacting species. These types of reactions involve two separate elementary reactions: one that loses electrons and another that gains the electrons that was lost. Gaining of electrons is referred to as Reduction reaction (the species that undergoes reduction is called as oxidizing agent) while losing of electrons is called

Bromination of trans-Cinnamic Acid Pitak Chuawong Objectives 1. To perform bromination of trans-‐cinnamic acid 2. To investigate stereochemistry of bromination reaction Introduction Alkenes undergo electrophilic addition to give alkyl halides. When bromine is used as a reagent‚ the reaction proceeds via 2-‐step process

Acetic acid‚ a pungent smelling colourless liquid having sour taste‚ used very commonly in the chemistry laboratories. It got its name from Latin word Acetum‚ which means vinegar. Pure acetic acid is also called glacial acetic acid‚ because in winters it freezes easily as temperature goes below 16-17°C. Therefore it looks like as if a small glacier is there in the bottle‚ hence called glacial acetic acid. Laboratory and daily life uses of acetic acid are: (i) Acetic acid is used in household kitchens

EXPERIMENT 13： Extraction: Extraction with acid and alkali Objective 1. To recover the benzoic acid and p-dichlorobenzene from its mixture from its mixture by using acid-alkali extraction. 2. To determine the percentage recovery and melting point of the recovered benzoic acid and p-dichlorobenzene. Introduction Acid-base extraction is a process which purifying the acids and bases from mixtures based on their chemical properties. Acid-base extraction is performed to isolate the compounds and natural

Acidity’s effects on Fruit Browning Aim: To test whether the acidity of the surface area of an apple has an effect on the rate of enzymatic browning over 70 minutes. Hypothesis: the more acidic the surface area the longer it takes for the fruit to oxidise. Variables: Independent: acidity of surface area of the apple Dependent: the progression of melanin (brown pigment) after 70 minutes Controlled/fixed: time of day‚ knife used to cut fruit‚ portion of fruit‚ environment
