Have you ever lost someone close to you because of a bad decision, or a bad decision someone else made? Drunk driving and driving under the influence of drugs is the leading cause of death in the United States. Everyday 28 people die in the U.S. because of a drunk or drug impaired driver. Everybody makes bad choices, even you and me, but there is a difference between a bad choice and a bad choice that can put others at risk of injury and death. For many people stress is the reason that drives

INTRODUCTION Addiction is has been around for a long time. The fear of people becoming addicted to certain substances has lead to policies changes. However, there has not been a major federal law passed that dealt with addiction in over forty years. In 2016, President Obama signed a law that covered all the major points of addiction and recovery. This topic this important to me because some of my loved ones are addicts. I may also have clients that are addicts.This paper will take a look at that

“According to the CDC, about 90% of all teen alcohol consumption occurs in the form of Binge Drinking, which experts say peaks at the age of nineteen.” (qtd by Listfield). Binge Drinking is the consumption of excessive amounts of alcohol in a short period of time. The author, Emily Listfield, defines that the standard alcohol consumption over a two hour period is considered to be four beers for women and five beers for men. This has become a great distraction for college students nationwide and a

Essay 3 Drunk driving accounts for nearly a third of traffic related deaths in the United States. Because of this it is perfectly reasonable for laws to be in place to prevent drunk driving. In my belief, these laws are just and put in place to not only protect the driver under the influence, but those around them. John Rawls would also believe that these ideas are just due to the law not impeding on anyone’s basic liberties. The laws are also the same for everyone, no matter the social standing

The purpose of experiment five was to create synthetic banana oil by the process of Fischer esterification. This process is when an acid, like acetic acid, is combined with an alcohol, which in this case was isopentyl alcohol. The resulting product was isopentyl acetate, but Fischer esterification processes are known for not going to completion, so some starting material may be present in the final product. The resulting product should contain no more than 10% isopentyl alcohol and no more than 2%

Introduction. Solubility refers to the ability of a solute to dissociate in a solvent. In the case that a solute does not dissociate in a solvent, we would state that the compound is insoluble (4). Extraction signifies separating two different substances when mixed together; typically, these substances consist of an organic layer and an aqueous layer (1). In this experiment, several solutes including Benzophenone, Biphenyl, 1-Octanol, 1-Butanol, Methyl Alcohol, and Dichloromethane (DCM) were placed

EXPERIMENT 4: Synthesis of Salicylic Acid from Wintergreen Oil Abstract: The purpose of this experiment is to take methyl salicylate (wintergreen oil) and by heating it under reflux with NaOH as a solvent, and then cooling the mixture with H2SO4 as another solvent, synthesize salicylic acid. The final step involves purify the product to produce as pure a sample of salicylic acid as possible. This process allowed for the successful production of 1.406g salicylic acid, an 82.70% yield. The NMR and

Extraction and Evaporation: Separating the Components of "Panacetin" Submitted- July 17, 2012 Introduction The purpose of this lab is to investigate the composition of a compound suspected to be Panacetin, a type of pain-killer. Panacetin is typically made up of sucrose, aspirin, and acetaminophen, but the third component in this experiment is unknown. The unknown component is suspected to be a chemical relative of acetaminophen, either acetanilide or phenacetin. Using techniques such as

to ester mixture drop by drop until the solution stays a yellow color. After ten minutes a cyclohexene and methylene chloride mixture is added drop by drop to remove the excess bromine. Ester solution is placed on the rotary evaporator at 45°C. Ethanol was added to the product. Solution was cooled in an ice bath for thirty minutes and crystals began to form. Solution was vacuum filtered with a Hirsch funnel. The mass of the product was 0.47 g. MP 70.1-75.3°C The theoretical yield was .74 g.
