2.1. Catalyst preparation
The CuMnOx catalyst was prepared by the co-precipitation method, the aqueous solution manganese acetate (Mn(CH3COO)2.4H2O) and copper (II) nitrate (Cu(NO3)2.2.5H2O) were premixed by stirring for 1 hour. After the proper mixing of the copper nitrate and manganese acetate solution, it was added to the aqueous KMnO4 solution by a burette under the stirring conditions. After dropped completely the copper manganese solution into the precipitant ageing for 2h, then filtered, washing several times with hot deionized water. After washing drying the precursor in an oven and calcination it in flowing air calcination conditions before measuring of the catalyst activity test. The amount of copper was added varied to the preparation of CuMnOx catalysts with nominal Cu/Mn molar ratios. After drying of the precursors their granules were crushed into powdered form for activity measurement purposes.

The CO oxidation efficiency was confirmed as a function of the [Cu]/[Mn] ratio and the reaction time. The binary Cu-Mn oxides have a flexible metal valences (Cu1+/2+ and Mn3+/4+) which give increase to their specific properties and outstanding catalytic activities for CO oxidation. The enhanced catalytic performance can be explained by the improved lattice oxygen mobility, specific surface area, and pore volume into the Cu-Mn catalysts. The binary Cu-Mn mixed metal oxide has a good potential for practical applications to decrease CO in air

Deductive reasoning was used by determining the identity of an unknown copper mineral by looking at different possible copper minerals in the database with observations that were taken throughout the entire lab. Through roasting, the percentage of mass could be found through the mass of copper contained in an unknown copper containing mineral sample by gravimetric analysis of the copper (II) oxide produced. Through the idea of smelting and spectroscopy the identity of the unknown copper could be found through careful calculations and analysis of the lab.

The objective of this two-part experiment was to in Part I, create 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone via oxidation of 4-tert-butylcyclohexanol to provide a source of ketone for reduction procedures. Part II of the experiment was conducted preforming a series of reduction reactions in effort to asses the diastereoselectivity of aluminum isopropoxide (MPV reduction), sodium borohydride (NaBH4), and L-selectride when reacted with 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone. The methods used for analysis were TLC, IR, and 1HNMR spectroscopy. An oxidation of 4-tert-butylcyclohexanol was conducted to produce the ketone, 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone using oxidizing reagent, sodium hypochlorite in glacial acetic acid solvent.

The lab started off by measuring critical materials for the lab: the mass of an an empty 100 mL beaker, mass of beaker and copper chloride together(52.30 g), and the mass of three iron nails(2.73 g). The goal of this experiment is to determine the number of moles of copper and iron that would be produced in the reaction of iron and copper(II) chloride, the ratio of moles of iron to moles of copper, and the percent yield of copper produced. 2.00 grams of copper(II) chloride was added in the beaker to mix with 15 mL of distilled water. Then, three dry nails are placed in the copper(II) chloride solution for approximately 25 minutes. The three nails have to be scraped clean by sandpaper to make the surface of the nail shiny; if the nails are not clean, then some unknown substances might accidentally mix into the reaction and cause variations of the result.

K.D.A. Saboia et al. , (2007) have been prepared the Bi4Ti3O12–CaCu3Ti4O12 {[BIT(X)–CCTO(100-X)]} composite powders through solid state reaction method and calcined in the range of 900 to 1020 ºC for 12 h. The as-prepared powders have modified in the form of thick film onto alumina ceramic substrate by utilizing screen printing. At 100 Hz, the value of dielectric constant (κ) of CCTO100 and BIT100 is 316.61 and 53.64 respectively. Conversely, the composite with X=20 % shows an unexpected dielectric constant of 409.71, which is around 20% higher in comparison with the CCTO.

Abstract – Methyl trans-cinnamate is an ester that contributes to the aroma of strawberry. It can be synthesized by an acid-catalyzed Fischer esterification of a methanol and trans-cinnamic acid under reflux. The solution was extracted to obtain the organic product, and evaporated residual solvent The yield was 68%, but there is some conflicting data regarding the purity. The melting point, IR, GC-MS indicate a highly pure desired product whereas 1H NMR shows there are unreacted reagents still present.

The reaction between Hydrochloric Acid and Sodium Carbonate led to the formation of gaseous Carbon Dioxide, aqueous water, and aqueous solution of Sodium Chloride as a result of all compounds containing alkali metals solubility. Lastly, Copper Sulfate and Sodium Carbonate reaction produced an aqueous sodium sulfate solution and a solid precipitate of Copper (II) Sulfite because of all alkali metals and sulfates ability to be soluble and the rule that any compound containing CO₃ is insoluble. In the end, the hypothesis that if we react mystery chemicals with one another, we will be able to identify the reactants and products, create balanced equations, and observe properties because of our prior knowledge learned throughout the course of the unit and using the known chemical reaction was accepted by the data

A cathode is negatively charged electrode. The anode is made out of impure copper and the cathode is a bar of pure copper. The anode and cathode are immersed in copper (II) sulphate solution. Oxidation is the loss of electrons and reduction is the gain of elections so when both oxidation and reduction happen at the same time it is called a Redox reaction, which contains the majority of chemical reactions [3]. It is only called a redox reaction if oxidation and reduction happen at the same time.

My research objective was to find a route of cationic activity inside the channel of anions and here I have had practical exposure on solid state NMR, XRD, SEM and EDX. Meanwhile, my industrial training during my 3rd semester helped me a lot to learn about ISD deposition, PVD, SEM and in-situTEM. My master thesis is based on synthesis, characterization and development of WS2 catalyst with alumina support for the industrial production of methyl mercaptan. From this project I have come to learn about industrial catalyst development by studying their selectivity and catalyst activity, XRD, EDX, NMR, Raman spectroscopy and Gas chromatography in detail. This project was co-ordinated by Evonik Germany along with the research group of Professor Dr. Johannes Lercher, Technical Chemistry chair, Technical University

Firstly, 0.3 g Fe3O4 was ultrasonically dispersed into 150 ml solvent (Vmethanol/Vwater=1/1) for 20 min to obtain a uniform suspension. A 100 ml alkaline solution (0.32 g Na2CO3, 0.48 g NaOH) was added dropwise into the suspension until pH ca. 10.0 and kept for 5 min, then another 100 ml salt solution (1.02 g Mg(NO3)2⋅6H2O and 1.2 g Al(NO3)3⋅9H2O) and above alkaline solution were simultaneously added maintaining the pH in 9.5-10.0.
