Cellulosic ethanol

Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize Isoamyl Acetate, the fruity ester that produces a banana fragrance, by a reversible reaction called esterification. The reaction was prepared by the process of refluxing a solution of acetic acid and 3-methyl-1-butonal. The organic layer of solution was processed through a distillation apparatus where an impure fraction and pure fraction was collected. Infrared (IR) spectroscopy data was collected on both fractions and compared to an IR ran

Rose Dopkin 10/18/2014 Period 7 Eggs to Model Osmosis Experiment Team Members: Rose Dopkin, Solomon Alhakeem, and Kelly Kinsella Problem: What effect does submerging an egg in substances with different concentrations have on the mass of an egg? Variables: Independent Variable: substance egg is soaked in Dependent Variable: mass of egg (in grams) Constant Variables: temperature of location, length of time egg is soaked for, amount of light received, same type of egg, Experimental Control: The

Synthesis of Isopently Acetate (Banana Oil) Deborah Nyabando CHEM 2311 TA: Nicholas Serratore February 20, 2014 Purpose: The purpose of doing this experiment was to prepare isopently acetate, an ester that has a pleasant smell like that of bananas from isopently alcohol and acetic acid by the Fischer esterification reaction. Sulfuric acid was used as a catalyst. Water, sodium bicarbonate, and sodium chloride were used to extract any impurities from the product. Simple distillation was then used

Better Health for Individuals Introduction In Australia health promotion is important as it becomes a pathway to better well-being. Health promotion is mainly reinforced by the World Health Organisation (WHO) who is a leading supporter of not only health promotion but also medical aid and care for all people around the world. The World Health Organisation is funded and backed by the United Nations, a society of countries banded together to make this world a better place for disadvantaged and regular

Measure Sugar Content Purpose:- Investigate the use of a hydrometer and a refractometer in determining the sugar content of a solution and the possible limitations in each of these pieces of equipment with regard to the introduction of ethanol. Summary: Hydrometer -Dissolved Sugar Based on Density:- Introduction: The brewing of beer is the process of using malted (i.e. sprouted) barley, a grain, to produce sugars that yeast can ferment into alcohol, this process is literally

Distillation is the process of separating components from a liquid mixture by selective evaporation and condensation, utilizing the different volatility of each substance (Wikipedia, Distillation, 2015). It can result in complete separation or partial separation (which increases the concentration of selected components) (Massachusetts, University of, 2015). The two types that were examined in this lab was simple distillation and fractional distillation. Raoult’s Law also plays an important factor

When you drink alcohol it messes with your judgment .Long term problems with drinking alcohol can lead to liver disease, high blood pressure, stroke, stomach problems, harm to unborn children, and complications with other illnesses. You can also get addicted to alcohol. Why can alcohol become an addictive substance? Drinking alcohol causes a release of endorphins and activates reward circuitry in the brain. Heavy and frequent drinkers experience a larger release of endorphins. Eventually, tolerance

Alcohol can damage the body physically, mentally, and emotionally. Many people do not realize the impact that consuming alcohol has on their body system. Drinking alcohol affects the brain, heart, liver, pancreas, and the immune system. The fastest impact of being intoxicated is on the central nervous system. The central nervous system is made up of two main parts: the brain and the spinal cord. The brain is the most important part of the body, and is essential for everyday use. When under the influence

Yeasts are one of the most researched microorganisms (Howstuffworks, 2008). They can be used for things such as alcoholic beverages, baking, probiotics, and much more. They are eukaryotic Fungi microorganisms. True yeasts are unicellular and reproduce mainly by budding (The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 2004). Budding is an asymmetric division process of mitosis. Yeasts of the genus Saccharomyces are especially important to alcohol fermentation (The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 2004)
