What is Acid Rain? First identified in 1872 in Sweden and studied in the U.S. beginning in the 1950s‚ acid rain is precipitation in the form of rain‚ snow‚ hail‚ dew‚ or fog that transports sulfur and nitrogen compounds from the high atmosphere to the ground. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NO‚ NO2) are bi-products from burning fuels in electric utilities and from other industrial and natural sources. These chemicals react with water‚ oxygen‚ carbon dioxide‚ and sunlight in the atmosphere

COORDINATION COMPOUNDS: * FLEXIDENTATE CHARACTER OF POLYDENTATE LIGANDS; * Poly dentate ligands have flexi dentate character in the sense that all donors atoms may not form coordinate bonds with the central metal atom or ion. For example; EDTA which is the hexa dentate ligand also acts as tetra dentate or penta dentate in certain complexes. Similarly sulphate ion‚ which is a bi dentate ligand‚ also acts as a mono dentate ligand in certain complexes‚ e.g. in [Co(SO4)(NH3)5]Cl. * LABILE

Formic acid is known to be the simplest carboxylic acid‚ and it is an important factor in chemical synthesis and occurs naturally. The chemical formula for Formic Acid is CH202‚ and is mostly found in the venom of bee and ant stings. Formic acid is clear and colorless with a pungent odor. Formic acid is used in many ways; Formic acid is used to preserve livestock. It is also sprayed on animal food and fresh hay to reduce the decay rate. It can also be used as a pesticide to protect bee

environment as well‚ and once these environmental impacts begin to show themselves‚ we will know exactly how much the internet costs. 4. Morosov argues that ‘technology is never neutral’. Do you agree? Give some examples from the reading or your own experiences to either support or counter Morosov. In my opinion‚ technology is never neutral this is due to the fact that technology always has an environmental impact. Additionally‚ technology is generally used to perform a task whether that is to make a call

Organic Chemistry/Biochemistry 1: Compounds Important to Life • Biologists classify compounds into organic compounds and inorganic compounds. Organic Compound: a compound that is derived from living things and contains carbon Inorganic Compound: a compound generally derived nonliving things • Water Water is an inorganic molecule with unique properties that make it one of the most important compounds for living things. In the water molecule (H2O)‚ the hydrogen and oxygen atoms bond

Acid-Base Extraction: Separation of an Organic Acid‚ Base and a Neural Compound Introduction/Background Acid base extraction is a widely used commercial method in separating acids‚ bases and neutral compounds. This is concept is based on several physical properties of the compounds‚ such as boiling point‚ melting points and solubility. The different solubility properties of the protonated and non-protonated forms of these compounds depend on the functional groups present‚ such

Lab 6: Organic Compound Analysis Isabella O’Toole CHY 116 Friday 1:15-4:00 Lab Conducted on 4-12-13 and 4-19-13 4-26-13 This lab was conducted in order to determine the chemical composition of an unknown organic acid. A known mass of acid was dissolved into 30mL of either water or methanol (depending on solubility) and titrated with standardized sodium hydroxide. Data from this allowed the molar

Compound 50‚ like its known analogue 3‚ involves an α‚β-unsaturated ketone‚ an acid-sensitive reactant‚ which prevents its direct synthesis in presence of protic solvents by refluxing. Despite of this characteristic‚ 50 was formed smoothly in 5 minutes by grinding chemistry‚ solely as E-isomer‚ without any evidence of decomposition after 1H and 13C MNR analysis. This synthetic approach provides easy access to such α‚β-unsaturated N-acylhydrazones‚ which are building blocks in the synthesis of nitrogen-containing

Identification of a Copper Compound by Percent Mass Unknown Compound: #9 Abstract: The objective of this experiment was to identify the unknown pure copper salt compound of #9. To do this‚ the mass of copper in the unknown was calculated and then divided by the mass of the whole compound to get the percent copper. The molecular weight was also calculated by dividing mass of copper compound used by moles of compound in unknown sample. The percent copper averaged out to 31.6% while the molecular
