Sodium is an essential mineral in the body, playing an important role in the maintenance of physiological homeostasis. It is the principal cation of the extracellular fluid, controlling its volume as well as aiding in transmission of neural impulses and muscular contractions. Hyponatremia is a...
Purpose The purpose of this lab was to see the rise in boiling point of water when adding NaCl and Caso4 to water until saturated. We used a thermometer to measure the temperature of the course of time and compared it to the normal boiling...
SUMMARY The objective of this experiment was to determine the kinetic parameters for the reaction between crystal violet dye (CVD) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The reaction was investigated at temperatures of 25, 30, 35, and 40°C using a method of excess, which implies a 1000:1...
Abstract When 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone is microwaved in sodium borohydride and silica gel, a racemic mixture is formed. The racemic mixture is cis/trans-4-t-cyclohexanol. The reaction scheme can be seen in Figure 1. Figure 1: Mechanism for the reduction of 4-t-butylcyclohexanone shown using chair conformations. The major product...
