Cellulosic ethanol

of the copper crystals that did not dissolve remained at the bottom of the beaker. A small amount of copper sulphate residue was left in the collection funnel. The temperature of the solution was too high for the mixture to bind and recrystallize; Ethanol was added to the mixture to lower solubility. The beaker was then placed in a cooler for duration of 10mintues to decrease temperature and increase the rate of recrystallization. When the beaker was removed from the cooler it was still visibly blue

Five Forces Analysis Michael Porter's Five Forces Analysis is a framework that used for industry analysis and understand the level of competition in an industry in order to develop business strategy (Tang, 2014). There are two key players in the local malt liquor market (MLM) industry of Malaysia, GAB Berhad and CBMB who have occupied 95% of the total beer and stout market shares in Malaysia (CMBB, 2015). Therefore, the competition among existing brewers are low as there are only two major brewers

From 1920 to 1933, it was estimated that over 22,000 gallons of bootlegged liquor made its way into Washington, D.C. for Congress members every week. George L. Cassiday, Congress's alcoholic supplier, claims that four out of five members of Congress drank (Roller). In 1920, the 18th amendment was passed banning the brewing, transporting, and selling of all alcoholic beverages. Forty-six states ratified this amendment. Prohibition was encouraged by temperance groups during the 1900's who believed

To begin showing the effect that alcohol has on college students, a few surveys are going to be shown and drafted into a conclusion. An online survey given by Jill Coymen shows the correlation between college age kids drinking, and effects on their academics. Coymen conducts a survey with 74 questions given to her college peers. There were only 223 that responded. These questions go as following: “In an average week, about how many days do you consume alcohol?” There were several options for these

Drugged Driving and On-site Testing with Digital Devices to Gather Evidence There is a great need for drug tests that can be used to test for marijuana because of states with marijuana being legal and used for recreational purposes. Alaska, Colorado, Oregon and Washington are all states where marijuana is legal for recreational purposes. Because marijuana is legal there needs to be a test like alcohol sobriety test to prove that a person is endangering the lives of others while driving. The drug

The phenacetin product collected from the Williamson Ether synthesis (Product A) had an average melting point of 132.0 ˚C -133.5 ˚C, while Amide Synthesis product (Product B) had an average melting of 120.0 ˚C -124.5 ˚C. The MP of a pure substance usually has a range 1-2 ˚C and no significant MP depression. As noted from the data, Product B had a quiet significant depression of 10 ˚C and a range of 5 ˚C, while Product A had a range of 1 ˚C; comparing the melting point data of both products, it can

Synthesis of an Alkyne: Addition-Elimination Objective The objective of this lab was to determine the melting point of the diphenylacetylene, which then shows the purity of the compound. E-stilbene was put through an addition reaction with pyridinium perbromide and CH3CO2H to form an intermediate. This intermediate was then the starting material for the elimination reaction with KOH and triethylene glycol to produce diphenylacetylene. Both reactions required the use of suction to dry the crystals

When you are out shopping for a wine, you will see wines priced from a few dollars to thousands of dollars. The often asked question is, "can you taste the difference or are they really worth the added costs." Some people have a dollar limit on what they will spend for a wine where others will pay top dollar. The most important detail is to evaluate the wine based on one's own palate. The proper technique for evaluating a wine is as follows: • Evaluate the color and appearance of the wine. •

In the short story “The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allen Poe there are parallels between the impact alcohol has on Fortunato and the main points, the affects alcohol has on one’s decision making and the signs of someone struggling with an alcohol addiction, in the article “Alcohol and Its Impact on the Brain.” Throughout this story real-world examples of the effects of alcohol are shown in Fortunato’s drunken actions consequently these actions are explained with detail in this article. In one

Prohibition took place from 1920-1933. This was a constitutional ban on the production, importation, transportation and the sale of alcohol. It began to fail immediately private ownership and consumption were not made made illegal under federal law, but local laws were much stricter some states even banning possession of alcohol. In the 20’s laws were widely disregarded and tax revenues were lost. After all the effort to ban alcohol prohibition led to the 21st amendment. This made alcohol legal
