Abstract In the experiment performed, the aim is to polymerize Styrene. This is achieved using emulsion polymerisation with the use of persulfate as an initiator. The experiment resulted in a 73.8% yield. Introduction Polymers are synthesized by solution or emulsion polymerization methods. Emulsion polymerization is the most common process used to manufacture polystyrene. Emulsion polymerization…

The purpose of this lab will be to brominate trans-stilbene by using acetic acid and pyrimidium tribromide by refluxing the mixture. To test the purity of product I will take the melting point which should be around 240 ºC along with a flame test which should be green-blue. CHEMICAL PROPERTIES TABLE See Attached Lab Notebook…

Qualitative analysis is used in the determination of the identity of a substance. It is different from quantitative analysis, which deals with the determination of the amount of a substance. In this experiment, qualitative analysis techniques are used to determine whether or not a sample contains a certain ion. When using this method, an unknown…

For my final project the first compound I synthesized was Dulcin. Dulcin is an artificial sweetening agent that is 200 times as sweet as sucrose. It is also, the second synthetic sweeter that was discovered. The first synthetic sweetener, saccharin, was discovered five years prior to Dulcin. The discovery of Dulcin occurred in 1883. Approximately…

During the first decade of the twentieth century the world-wide demand for ammonia for use in fertilisers (in the form of nitrates) and in the production of explosives for use in mining and warfare could only be satisfied on a large scale from deposits of guano in Chile (2). Though this deposit was of huge…

ynthesize my own aspirin Analyse the purity of my aspirin samples (aspirin and recrystallized aspirin) compared to commercial aspirin by use of analysing melting points, TLC plates and colorimetry tests Investigate how pH effects the rate of hydrolysis of aspirin Background theory Making my own sample of Salicylic acid (to then be converted into Aspirin)…

A uninterrupted moved armored combat vehicle reactor ( CSTR ) is a uninterrupted reactor that runs at a steady province. They are used most often with liquid stages. but can manage gas or solid reactions as good. No affair what the reactants are or the merchandise is. all CSTR’s have the same constituents. There is…

A increase in the enzyme’s strength (Trail 3) -To break two toothpicks at a time. Dependent Variables The number of toothpicks broken. The reaction Procedure 1. Gather 50 toothpicks. 2. Place them in a pile on the table. -To tape the index 3. Choose one member of your group of 4 to break the toothpicks….

Diels alder reactions are classified as pericyclic reaction, which is a reaction which involves a cyclic rearrangement of bonding electrons, which means that the bonds are broken and reformed instantaneously. The reaction takes place in a single step without the use of intermediates, which is what makes this reaction stereospecific because substituent’s never have a…
