CHEMISTRY
Acetylation of
Ferrocene
In this lab we will be utilizing
the Friedel Crafts process of acetylation of ferrocene. Ferrocene is an
atom of iron bounded by two aromatic rings. We will use some reagents
that will cause the ferrocene to add either one acetyl group to an
aromatic ring or add two acetyl groups to each of the aromatic rings. In
order to determine how well this process had worked we employed: IR
spectra analysis, column chromatography, and a little TLC. This
experiment is relevant in today's highly industrialized world. By
utilizing many of the techniques we employ in this lab, a company can
synthesize new types of materials or composites that could revolutionize
an industry.

Aerosol Spray Can
Spray cans produce an aerosol, the technical term for a very fine spray.
They do this by means of a pressurized propellant, which is a liquid
that boils at everyday temperatures. Inside the can, a layer of gaseous
pressure increased, and eventually it becomes so high that boiling
stops. when the nozzle is pressed, the gas pressure forces the product
up the tube in the can and out of the nozzle in a spray or foam.

Analytical
Chemistry
Analytical Chemistry is the branch of
chemistry principally concerned with determining the chemical
composition of materials, which may be solids, liquids, gases, pure
elements, compounds, or complex mixtures. In addition, chemical analysis
can characterize materials but determining their molecular structures
and measuring such physical properties as pH, color, and solubility. Wet
analysis involves the studying of substances that have been submerged in
a solution and microanalysis uses substances in very small amounts.

Aristotle
One of the greatest thinkers of all
time was Aristotle-322 BC, the Ancient Greek philosopher. He has
practically influenced every area of present day thinking. His main
focal points were the natural and social sciences. In Stagira, a town on
the northwest coast of the Aegean Sea, in the year of 384 BC Aristotle
was introduced to the world. He grew up a wealthy boy. His father was
friends with the noble king of Macedonia, and as a young man he spent
the majority of his time at the Macedonian court. At the age of
seventeen, he was sent away to study in Athens. It was there that he
transformed to a disciple of Plato. Over time, Aristotle became the
"mind of the school". Later in his life, he followed his mentor and
became a teacher in a school on the coast of Asia minor. Aristotle was
the professor of young prince Alexander, who went on to become the ruler
Alexander the Great.

Asymmetric
Epoxidation of Dihydronaphthalene with a Synthesized Jacobsen's Catalyst
In 1990, professor E.N. Jacobsen
reported that chiral manganese complexes had the ability to catalyze the
asymmetric epoxidation of unfunctionalized alkenes, providing
enantiomeric excesses that regularly reaching 90% and sometimes
exceeding 98% . The chiral manganese complex Jacobsen utilized was [(R,R)-N,N'-Bis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene)-1,2-cyclohexanediaminato-(2-)]-manganese
(III) chloride (Jacobsen's Catalyst).

ATOM
Hey kids! Today I'm going to introduce you to the world of atoms.
Atoms are little things that you or anybody else have ever seen. Make up
things like trees, cars, paper, even you. So let's shrink down to size
and see what it's like.

Historical Development of Atomic Structure
The idea behind the "atom" goes
back to the Ancient Greek society, where scientists believed that all
matter was made of smaller, more fundamental particles called elements.
They called these particles atoms, meaning "not divisible." Then came
the chemists and physicists of the 16th and 17th centuries who
discovered various formulae of various salts and water, hence
discovering the idea of a molecule.

Bunsen Burner
In class on Monday. We learn how to use a Bunsen burner. We had to tell
what was the hottest and coolest part of the flame. When we finish that.
We had to take a wire and go up and down in the flame to see what was
the hottest part of the flame. After we did that, we had to take a
evaporating dish, and put it into the flame and see what would be
collected on the dish.

Catalytic Converter
Notice when a vehicle drives by
nowadays, that it is so much quieter than those loud oldies that pour
out the blue smoke. Ever wonder just what is underneath a vehicle that
makes the new ones so much cleaner. It is called a catalytic converter.
The main function of a catalytic converter is to decrease pollution
emitted from a vehicles exhaust. The concept behind this is to add a
catalyst and force a reaction between the automobile's exhaust and
oxygen in the converter. To see just how this happens let's look inside
of a catalytic converter.

ChloroFlouroCarbons
Chloroflourocarbons were discovered in the
1920’s by Thomas Midgley, an organic chemist at General Motors
Corporation. He was looking for inert, non-toxic, non-flammable
compounds with low boiling points that could be used as refrigerants. He
found what he was looking for in the form of two compounds:
dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC-12) and trichloromonoflouromethane
(CFC-11). In both compounds, different amounts of chlorine and fluorine
are combined with methane, which is a combination of carbon and
hydrogen.

Becoming a chemist
Becoming a chemist takes a lot of
hard work and discipline. One very important aspect of being a chemist
is English, Communication is of the utter most importance (Murphy). As
well as having good communication skills, you also need a lot of
patience. However, there are many other qualities you will need such as
an excellent learning ability and mathematical skills. You will also
need to be able to perceive concepts or objects.
Once you get into college you need to know what kind of degree to get in
order to have a fulfilling and successful career. For most entry level
jobs a BS degree is sufficient. However, for a college teaching job a
Ph.D. is required (Choices).

CHEMISTRY
I am chemistry. I am mysterious and
mature, malodorous, yet vivacious. I am a heaving search for answers to
all kinds of interesting questions. I am extremely broad, that I overlap
with all the other natural sciences. I am the fundamental unit of
matter-the atom-only to be seen by the utmost effective microscope. I
prosper in the dashing, fiery flames in a fragile glass beaker over a
bunsen burner and develope powerful rocket fuels. I am
a clamorous explosion of two flammable chemicals intermixed in a
laboratory. I am liquid flowing from one tube to another, "volumous"
gas, and clustered solids.

Chlorine
Chlorine is (at room temperature) a greenish-yellow gas that can be
readily liquefied at 5170 Tarr or 6.8 atmospheres, at 20 C (68 F), and
has a very disagreeable odor. It’s Element Symbol is Cl, atomic number
is 17, and atomic mass is 35.453. Chlorine’s melting point is -101 C or
149.8 F. The boiling point is -34.05 C or -29.29 F, at one atmosphere
pressure. Chlorine is a member of the halogen group. Chlorine was
discovered by Swedish scientist Karl Wilhelm in 1784, but he first
thought it was a compound, rather than an element. In 1810, Sir Humphrey
Davy named it Chlorine, from the Greek word meaning "greenish-yellow".

The Study of
Akali Metal Contamination in Road Side Soil
Six soil samples were taken from
a roadside that was expected to exhibit characteristic of road salt
contamination. This contamination is characterized by the presence of
magnesium, calcium and sodium. The relationship between akali metal
concentration and distance from the pavement was examined and determined
to be nonexistent. Additionally, atomic absorbtion and atomic emission
spectroscopy were compared and and atomic absorbtion was found to be
1.89 times as sensitive as atomic emission.

Design of Structures in respect to heat efficiency
Heat efficiency in any
architectural design is always a topic that must be addressed. Without
this key element, structures would be totally inefficient to heat, not
to mention extremely expensive. In order to design a heat efficient
building you must first understand where heat is lost or where cold air
enters the structure in question. My research will first be to determine
what materials are best for insulation and which materials are not.
Second, I will try to find where heat is most likely to escape in a
structure by researching efficient designs. This, in turn, will provide
information to where it is necessary to add more insulation to a
particular structure.

Determining the
Ratio of Circumference to Diameter of a Circle
In determining the ratio of the
circumference to the diameter I began by measuring the diameter of one
of the si objects which contained circles, then using a string, I
wrapped the string around the circle and compared the length of
the string, which measured the circumference, to a meter stick. With
this method I measured all of the six circles. After I had this
data, I went back and rechecked the circumference with a tape measure,
which allowed me to make a more accurate measure of the objects
circumferences by taking away some of the error that mymethod of
using a string created.

DNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid and
ribonucleic acid are two chemical substances involved in transmitting
genetic information from parent to offspring. It was known early into
the 20th century that chromosomes, the genetic material of cells,
contained DNA. In 1944, Oswald T. Avery, Colin M. MacLeod, and Maclyn
McCarty concluded that DNA was the basic genetic component of
chromosomes. Later, RNA would be proven to regulate protein synthesis.

Ethical
Procedures and Guidelines Defining Pschycological Research
Psychological research is often a
very controversial subject among experts. Many people feel that there
are many moral standards that are often not followed. Others may believe
that there is much harmful misinformation that can often be harmful to
subject and others. Still others believe that psychology is a lot of
theories without any reinforcing information. Whether any of these
assumptions may be true or not, there have been guidelines created which
serve to silence many critics of the science. These guidelines make
research safe and structured, which will protect the subjects from
unnecessary harm.

Expansion on the Recent Discoveries Concerning Nitric Oxide
Nitric Oxide, or NO, its chemical representation, was until recently not
considered to be of any benefit to the life processes of animals, much
less human beings. However, studies have proven that this simple
compound had an abundance of uses in the body, ranging from the nervous
system to the reproductive system. Its many uses are still being
explored, and it is hoped that it can play an active role in the cures
for certain types of cancers and tumors that form in the brain and other
parts of the body.

Fission or Fusion
First, the energy per fission is
very large. In practical units, the fission of 1 kg (2.2 lb) of
uranium-235 releases 18.7 million kilowatt-hours as heat. Second, the
fission process initiated by the absorption of one neutron in
uranium-235 releases about 2.5 neutrons, on the average, from the split
nuclei. The neutrons released in this manner quickly cause the fission
of two more atoms, thereby releasing four or more additional neutrons
and initiating a self-sustaining series of nuclear fissions, or a chain
reaction, which results in continuous release of nuclear energy.

Crash Course in
Density
As flight 143, a twin engine 767, was
passing over Red Lake on its was to Edmonton, Canada, the left front
fuel pump warning light went on. There were a few possibilities for this
to happen, such as the fuel pump failing, a fuel line clogging, or a
empty fuel tank. The former two were easily dealt with, since the plane
could fly without one fuel pump. However, the last possibility was
horrifying. After a few minutes, the second fuel pump in the left wing
began to blare. It would be too much of a coincidence for two fuel pumps
to independently fail, or two fuel lines to independently clog, so it
was apparent that the left tank was out of fuel.

Fluoridation
In 1931 at the University of Arizona
Agricultural Experiment Station M. C. Smith, E. M. Lantz, and H. V.
Smith discovered that when given drinking water supplied with fluorine,
rats would develop tooth defects. Further testing by H. T. Dean and E.
Elove of the United States Public Health Service confirmed this report,
and stated that what is known as mottled tooth. Mottled tooth is a
condition in which white spots develop on the back
teeth. Gradually the white spots get darker and darker until the tooth
is eroded completely. This was believed to be caused by fluorine in
drinking water (Behrman pg. 181).

Fossil Fuels
Our society has become dependent on fossil fuels for energy. That seems
fine for now considering the fact that everyone is generally happy in
the present situation. Fossil fuels are relatively inexpensive and seem
to be doing the trick right now. Using fossil fuels arise such issues as
global warming, rising costs of scarce resources, and shortages of raw
materials. None of these problems will draw full attention until the
demand is needed,
it’s the old supply and demand scenario. Although my opinion may seem
pessimistic if you look at past events it points to the supply and
demand scenario.

Gallium
Gallium, atomic number 31, is very
similar to aluminum in its chemical properties. It does not dissolve in
nitric acid because of the protective film of gallium oxide that is
formed over the surface by the action of the acid. Gallium does however
dissolve in other acids, and alkalies.

GEOTHERMAL ENERGY
The human population is currently
using up its fossil fuel supplies at staggering rates. Before long we
will be forced to turn somewhere else for energy. There are many
possibilities such as hydroelectric energy, nuclear energy, wind energy,
solar energy and geothermal energy to name a few. Each one of these
choices has its pros and cons. Hydroelectric power tends to upset the
ecosystems in rivers and lakes. It affects the fish and wild life
population. Nuclear energy is a very controversial subject. Although it
produces high quantities of power with relative efficiency, it is very
hard to dispose of the waste. While wind and solar power have no waste
products, they require enormous amounts of land to produce any large
amounts of energy. I believe that geothermal energy may be an
alternative source of energy in the future. There are many things that
we must take into consideration before geothermal energy can be a
possibility for a human resource. I will be discussing some of these
issues, questions, and problems.

"How is Helium
produced?"
Production: Although Helium is one of
the most common elements in the universe it is a rare gas on earth. It
exists in the atmosphere in such small quantities (less than five parts
per million) that recovering it
from the air is uneconomical. Helium is produced as a by-product of the
refining of natural gas, which is carried out on a commercial scale in
the USA and Poland. In these areas natural gas contains a relatively
high
concentration of Helium which has accumulated as a result of radioactive
decay of heavy elements within the earth's crust. Helium is supplied to
distribution centres throughout the world in liquid form in large
cryogenic
containers. The Helium is filled into liquid containers, gas cylinders
and cylinder packs as necessary.

Ideal gas vs. Real
gas
An ideal gas is a theoretical gas
which perfectly fits into the equation PV= nRT . An ideal gas is
different from a real gas in many ways. An ideal gases' mass can be
disregarded in the equation because it has none; this is because an
ideal gas is said to be a particle and particles do not have any mass.
Ideal gases obtain no volume unlike real gases which obtain small
volumes.

Insulation
The experimenter is testing on denim,
cotton T-shirt material, wool fabric, thermal underwear, polyester
fabric, and a Ziplock bag with no insulator. From research the
experimenter learned that wool is a fine soft wavy hair that forms all
or part of the protective coat of a sheep. Since ancient times it was
harvested to provide clothing and is an important part in textile trade
because of its insulation. Woolen fabric is when the woolen system
uses short or mixed long and short fiber where no combing is done. It
has a rough appearance and is most suitable
for blankets, overcoats, and tweeds. Denim which the experimenter is
also testing is the material used to make blue jeans and is currently
one of the world's most popular fabrics. It is fairly heavy and is made
with a blue cotton warp and a white cotton filling (Groilers, 1996). The
thermal underwear is duofold, with an
outer layer made of 65% cotton, 25% wool, and 10% nylon, and an inner
layer made of 100% cotton.
