The Ammonia Fountain Experiment To set the ammonia fountain experiment up I made sure I had all the materials the lab required me to have which was: a Florence Flask‚ a 600 mL beaker‚ a Mohr pipet‚ distilled and tap water‚ a polyethylene wash bottle‚ a phenolphthalein indicator‚ concentrated ammonium hydroxide‚ sand‚ a heating mantle‚ a ring stand‚ clamps‚ a two-hole rubber stopper‚ one hole rubber stopper‚ and a medicine dropper. I then filled my beaker three fourths of the way up with tap water

Oxidation of Cyclohexanol Introduction: The oxidation of cyclohexanol involves using household bleach to oxidize this secondary alcohol and produce a ketone product‚ cyclohexanone. Oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions occur when the oxidation state of atoms change due to a transfer of electrons. Oxidation occurs when electrons are ‘lost’ to the formation of bonds and reduction occurs when electrons are ‘gained’ in the braking of bonds (Levine). Using this reaction and its product‚ a redox experiment

OXIDATION AND REDUCTION Oxygen makes up only about 20% of the air‚ yet is the essential component for so many reactions. Without it fuels would not burn‚ iron would not rust and we would be unable to obtain energy from our food molecules through respiration. Indeed animal life on the planet did not evolve until a certain concentration of oxygen had built up in the atmosphere over 600 million years ago. The term oxidation has been in use for a long time to describe these and other reactions where

(FAs) can ultimately be degraded through different pathways which include alpha‚ beta‚ and omega-oxidation. Alpha-oxidation occurs at carbon 2 of the chain‚ b-oxidation at C3‚ and omega-oxidation at methyl end of the fatty acid. The location of each mechanism also differs as alpha- oxidation occurs in peroxisomes only‚ beta-oxidation can take place in both peroxisomes and mitochondria. Omega-oxidation occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum of the various tissues. The importance of the differentiation

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

Process: Ammonia for Food and Bombs From: Eros Wang To: Ms. Irumekhai Date: March 30‚ 2012 1. Suggest five factors that could affect the production of ammonia in the Haber process. Explain the effect of each factor‚ using rate theory. The Haber process itself is a delicate balancing act because of all the factors that affect the yield of ammonia. In the Haber process‚ the nitrogen‚ hydrogen and ammonia are in equilibrium. So five factors that affect the production of ammonia would

Major Pollutant: Ammonia Ammonia is one of the most widely produced chemicals in the United States. In pure form‚ it is known as anhydrous ammonia. Ammonia has the formula NH3 which is a compound of hydrogen and nitrogen. Ammonia is also produced in the human body and is commonly found in nature. It is essential in the body as a building block for making proteins and other complex molecules. In nature‚ ammonia occurs in soil from bacterial processes. It is also produced when plants‚ animals
