Carbon monoxide

Introduction When it comes to creating or performing a reaction, the solubility of the product being used is very important. Knowing the biological and physical processes of your product is the start of any experiment. Obtaining this information plays a key role in choosing solvents for processes such a recrystallization. Recrystallization is a procedure for purifying an impure compound in a solvent. It is used only to purify solids in large or small quantities. That is the purpose of this experiment

Term Paper: What Is Wrong With The Science in Movies Movies are made to entertain and numerous times the filmmakers, no matter how fully equipped the film industry with all possible outside resources, scientifically and historically, to make the scenes in movies more interesting and selling, they tend to exaggerate the movies to the point of absurdity. The exaggeration may work to people with no strong scientific background related to the particular scenes, but for the ones who knows and intimately

Intro In this lab, we will create a chemical reaction between the reactants oxygen (O2) and magnesium (Mg) using combustion. The product will be magnesium oxide (MgO). In this lab we will record the masses of reactants and products to perform stoichiometry of the chemical equation Mg + O2 -> MgO. The actual yield of product will differ from the theoretical yield based on how the experiment is performed. The independent variable is the product amounts and the dependent variable is the percent

For this assignment I decided to head out to Docweiler Beach near LAX. I love the beach, not so much for going swimming or getting wet but more to lay in the sand and just relax to the soothing sound of the waves, especially nice in this hot weather. I decided to bring my sister for the ride so it’s not to lonely and set up around a more deserted part for more concentration and relaxation. I also chose Dockweiler Beach because there I could get a sense of all the 5 ancient elements all in one sitting

forms as the proton attaches to the least substituted carbon of the ones participating in the double bond. This happens because this allows the more stable carbocation to form, as the positive charge would then exist on the more substituted carbon. The functional groups attached to this carbocation donate their electron density to it, thus stabilizing it. This overall effect is often called the Markovnikov rule. However, in this case the two carbons that are connected to each other by the double bond

was an introductory class on physical chemistry and our chemistry teacher was teaching us the allotropes of carbon . At the end of the class, he asked us, “ What do you think makes a small piece of diamond more precious than tons of charcoal , although they are made up of same carbon atoms ? Is it its appearance? No. It’s the pressure that the carbon endured for thousands of years to become a diamond”. “A diamond is just a piece of charcoal that handled the pressure well”

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) has better properties than unreinforced alloys. Among many inexpensive MMCs, Al-B4C can be obtained as a byproduct from solid wastes(Coal Combustion in Thermal Power Plants. When the MMCs are heated to 1500 to 3000c, it shows better strength than composites. In general B4C has high melting point, which in turn reduces the heating time. It also has very good chemical and thermal stability. As Al & B4C gets mixed up to form into MMCs, their properties seem to have been

Research Proposal: Optimum ENP for Oil Spill Remediation Literature Review Summary and Knowledge Gap Oil spill contains crude oil, small amount of heavy metal, refined and unrefined petroleum oil(Intertek, 2015). Due to these toxic chemicals, oil spill is an environmental issue and needs great attention because of its adverse effective in aquatic life and ecological balance. Use of nanomaterials in oil spill remediation is a novice approach. Oil and water separation requires technology with unique

The world is full of people using everyday products made from plastics or styrofoam, from simple things like cups, forks and spoons to expensive electronics such as printers, phones, and TV’s. “About 300 million tons of plastic is produced globally each year”(Raising Awareness of Plastic Waste) and “more than 14 million tonnes of polystyrene(styrofoam) are produced every year around the world”(Now and forever: The Styrofoam dilemma). With these high amounts being produced each year it is easy to

Recently, water and food pollution are the important global concern in environmental protection and human health due to their numerous harmful activities. There are many pollutants producing by human day-by-day including nitrate, fluoride, pesticides, mercury, lead, arsenic, and nitrite resulting from oil spills, burning of the fossil fuels, dumping waste and sewage of factories, and etc. Among them, nitrite was widely used in the food industry, pharmaceutical and agriculture as an additive in foods
