My Passion For Organic Chemistry

In the study of chemical reactions, chemistry students first study reactions that go to completion. Inherent in these familiar problems—such as calculation of theoretical yield, limiting reactant, and percent yield—is the assumption that the reaction can consume all of one or more reactants to produce products. In fact, most reactions do not behave this way. Instead, reactions reach a state where, after mixing the reactants, a stable mixture of reactants

“After having made a few preparatory experiments, he concluded with a panegyric upon modern chemistry, the terms of which I shall never forget: ‘The ancient teachers of this science,’ said he, ‘promised impossibilities and performed nothing. The modern masters promise very little; they know that metals cannot be transmuted and that the elixir of life is a chimera but these philosophers, whose hands seem

Prior to high school, my uncle was my chemistry teacher. As a food scientist, he was to me a great inventor who knew everything about the magic of taste, texture, and aroma; I still remember his lecture on “good” chocolate and how cocoa butter—solid at room temperature—melts readily in our mouths. Raised on an early appreciation for the power of applied science, I am now driven toward chemical science by a desire to uncover solutions to challenges in the modern world.

There were 3 objectives for this lab they were demonstrate that mass is conserved in chemical transformations, practice balancing out chemical equations for reactions observed in the lab and practice the skill of recognizing chemical reactions and making detailed observations.

A research internship at Kansas University will give me the opportunity to study specific ways chemistry affects the human body. Whether studying simulations to increase the knowledge of biological processes or discovering the function of proteins of cancer cells, the results will promote manipulations of these methods to benefit the human body. The study of biological molecules is the foundation of all medicine. Biological

Although “Chem 1111” is an introductory course, it is an intense course that many students struggle with. I strongly encourage students to get a head start and give them the opportunity to do so. However, due to his proactive nature, Michael was far

I am interested in attending this program because I am currently in AP Chemistry and I have taken AP Biology in my sophomore year which I really enjoyed. Because I took these courses I truly believe that going to the program will be an opportunity for me to integrate my knowledge and further explore topics that I have not been exposed to yet. I also would like to explore Purdue University in general and see how the campus is. I am also intrigued by the idea of looking into different chemicals and how much influence they have on human health. It’s possible that through this program we will discover new chemicals that will be the solution to an epidemic. I believe there is so much to learn, beyond what I have learned at school and therefore

His scientific work is very immense, covering many publications and nearly 40 national and international patents on organic chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, petrochemicals and the chemistry of environmental pollutants.

My chemist is Robert Burns Woodward. Robert Woodward was born in Boston, Massachusetts on April 10th, 1917. His mother is Margaret Burns and his father is Arthur Woodward. He died on July 8th, 1979 at Cambridge, Massachusetts. Woodward was always drawn to chemistry ever since he was in primary school. He eventually entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1933. Robert took the degrees of Bachelor of Science in 1936 and Doctor of Philosophy in 1937 at MIT. He then transferred to Harvard University, also in Massachusetts, as Postdoctoral Fellow in 1937. The particular field of chemistry Robert studied was Natural Products Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds. Natural Products chemistry

My educational background at Carleton has prepared me with both the knowledge of chemistry as well as tangible skill in the laboratory. Beside general chemistry I have explored the fields of analytical, organic, and biochemistry. The laboratory

Although organic reactions have been conducted by man since the discovery of fire, the science of Organic chemistry did not develop until the turn of the eighteenth century, mainly in France at first, then in Germany, later on in England. By far the largest variety of materials that bombard us are made up of organic elements. The beginning of the Ninetieth century was also the dawn of chemistry, all organic substances were understood

I am sure everyone has an own story, maybe the story is a good or bad experience. For me the story is a bad experience. And the special experience clung to me all my life. So my article will talk about through the experience I learned what love is and why I have an affinity with chemistry.
