    of one electron, the organic molecules affected by the free radical are being oxidized. This has caused scientists to refer to the process as “oxidative stress” (Nimse and Pal). However, in other cases, enormous molecules can be created as the oxygen molecule takes an electron from a nearby hydrocarbon. It glues itself to the original molecule and leaves the end of that original molecule one electron short. For example, the following reaction shows what happens when an organic peroxide comes into

    was carrying out studies on phenol compounds and synthesized BPA by condensing acetone with two equivalent parts of phenol. The “A” in BPA denotes acetone in its composition. (1) At first, the development of BPA was solely an academic exercise. Dianin was the chair of the Chemistry Department / Imperial Medial Academy in St. Petersburg, Russia. (2) Modern organic chemistry was in its beginning phases and the potential benefits from combining organic compounds were being envisioned. Reports of BPA

    The problem itself is not one that can be fixed in a few nights, what has been done to the spheres is almost irreversible with a few exceptions. The severity of this problem isn’t one that can completely alter the way we live but at the same time every action has an equal opposite reaction. Due to the frequency of the emissions the spheres can be greatly impacted. Many people have been affected by these emissions and most of the illnesses given to these people are very damaging or terminal. On average

    then need to be performed to gain a complete understanding of the benefits and consequences of combusting certain fuels. Background Information The combustion of the hydrocarbons and organic molecules found in fuels is a chemical reaction that primarily involves the oxidation of carbon and hydrogen in various compounds to release heat and produce water and carbon dioxide. When the environment lacks sufficient oxygen, rendering oxygen as the limiting reagent in the reaction, incomplete combustion would

    “That which is accepted as knowledge today is sometimes discarded tomorrow.” Consider knowledge issues raised by this statement in two areas of knowledge. Knowledge is defined as “justified true belief”. The concept of justified true belief states that “in order to know that a given proposition is true, one must not only believe the relevant true proposition, but one must also have justification for doing so ”. New knowledge is based on the credible theories, generalisations, which in turn are based

    Chemical compounds used in cleaning products and industrial production are being used every day. Some of these chemicals are naturally occurring but others are synthetic and can cause harm to the environment and human population, by being released into the atmosphere. The ever-changing atmosphere, especially in Pittsburgh, is filled with different compounds. Many of the compounds found in air are naturally occurring but some of these compounds such as Titanium tetrachloride, Vinyl Chloride, and Benzene

    I selected organic chemistry because honestly it looks like a very interesting topic. Before doing research on this topic the knowledge I had before about organic chemistry was that it has something to do with food. After doing research I found out that I was way off track. I learned that in the late 1820’s was when organic chemistry was stumbled upon. In 1828 Friedrich Wohler produce the organic chemical rued, a mixture of urine from inorganic starting Materials. This is now called the Wohler Synthesis

    how they may be manipulated and changed. 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
