EXPERIMENTAL RATIONALE Hydrocarbons are organic molecules consisting of hydrogen and carbon only1 and can be classified as saturated or unsaturated. A saturated hydrocarbon has the maximum number of hydrogens that can be present, given the number of carbons in the compound, for example, acyclic alkanes. A hydrocarbon is unsaturated if a hydrogen can be added1. This is a result of a hydrogen in the molecule being replaced, for example, with a double or triple bond or ring structure. Three examples of saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbons, used in the experiment are hexane, cyclohexane and cyclohexene, depicted in Figure 1. Figure 1: Table of comparison for each hydrocarbon Hydrocarbon Hexane Cyclohexane Cyclohexene Chemical formula …show more content…

Tyler White CHEM151LL 32658 04/01/2018 Different Types Chemical Reaction Types and Equations Purpose: The purpose of this lab experiment is to examine different types of chemical reactions such as Decomposition reaction, Synthesis reactions, Combustion reactions, and different Chemical equations. The experiments were conducted online using Late Nite Labs. Materials: Because the experiments were conducted online there wasn’t any physical use of materials, only digital ones, for these labs to be performed. Only the registration for the website was needed to perform these online labs, as well as a desktop computer.

The dehydration of 2-methylcyclohexanol takes place at the bottom of the Hickman still. As the Hickman still heats up within the sand bath, the products evaporate and travel higher up in the still where they condense into a liquid and fall within the collection ring, thus separating the product from the remaining water. Drierite (CaSO4) is also added as a drying agent to absorb any leftover water within the product. The purity of the product will then be analyzed with infrared spectroscopy, paying attention to OH peak if it is present. Chemical Reactions: Data and Observations: Material Volume Mol.

Zihang Weng Professor Adriana Dellagnelo ESL 015-009 10/28/2016 Annotated Bibliography related to fossil fuels Our energy sources: Fossil fuels(2015). Retrieved from http://needtoknow.nas.edu/energy/energy-sources/fossil-fuels/ This article stated the energy sources situations in the Untied State and it can be implied to many other countries around the world as well. In the article, National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine claimed that 81% of all energy consumed in the United States on 2015 was generated from coal, oil and natural gas. This is a common situation of fossil fuels in the global scale. They are the essential sources to human society in the 21st century, so they are in high demand and they are indispensable.

3.1 ABSTRACT The intermolecular interactions in the N-methylformamide with acetophenone, cyclic ketones (cyclopentanone and cyclohexanone) binary liquid systems are studied in combined experimental and computational methodology. The speed of sound (u), density (ρ) and viscosity ( ) values are measured for binary mixtures of N-methylformamide with ketones over the entire range of mole fraction at temperatures T= (303.15 to 318.15) K, at atmospheric pressure. From the experimental results, the values of excess molar volume ( ), excess isentropic compressibility (κsE), deviation in viscosity (η) and excess Gibbs free energy of activation of viscous flow ( ) are evaluated. The experimental results indicate the intermolecular association between the binary liquid

The chlorine atoms that are replaced by hydrogen atoms causes a higher presence and both are covalent bondings with strong intermolecular forces. The double bondings (Or triple bondings) in hydrocarbon tends to be stronger, but the chemical is flammable. Fluorocarbons are not flammable and are also polar covalent bondings, making them stable to ultraviolet radiation and prevents them from catalysing ozone depletion. Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), one of the alternatives that contains C-Cl bondings have most of its molecules dismantled in the lower atmosphere before reaching the stratospheric ozone layer. Another chemical, Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), having no chlorine atoms which does not bring harm to the ozone layer is considered the best alternative since they are not flammable, such as CF3CH2F,1,1,12 tetrafluoroethane.

The threat of depletion of crude oil resources over the last few decades has generated an increasing interest in practical applications of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) based technologies [1]. FTS is a process to convert synthesis gas (a mixture of CO and H2) to a wide range hydrocarbons that can be used as liquid fuels or base chemicals. The feedstock for the generation of synthesis gas can be natural gas, coal and biomass. Indirect conversion of coal, natural gas and biomass into hydrocarbons can play a major role in solving the world’s current energy problems.

Benzene, hydrogen and recycled cyclohexane with platinum catalyst contains low sulfur poisoning while nickel catalyst are permanently poisoned by sulfur.()Cyclohexane from petroleum is a complicated process which yields 85 wt. % purity. It is not a widely used method due to the close range of boiling points between byproducts dimethyl pentanes in natural cyclohexane concentrate. “It’s impractical to produce high purity yield.” () Physical and Chemical Properties Cyclohexane is a highly flammable liquid. It is colorless, mobile, water-insoluble, non-corrosive, easily vaporized and less toxic than benzene.

All day, everyday we come in contact with hazardous chemicals. These contaminants can be found in anything from plastic bottles to computers, from cosmetics to teflon pans, and from food we eat to the water we drink; the source of exposure is infinite. Chasing molecules by Elizabeth Grossman explores how these exposure happen and what occurs at the molecular level when we come in contact with these offenders. Elizabeth Grossman has researched many of these synthetic chemicals, which in our society are up to ninety percent petroleum based and she points out how our world needs to get away from such toxic chemical.

From the start of the industrial revolution to modern times, fossil fuels have been the go-to source of energy. Vehicles, homes, and entire cities rely on the use of fossil fuels to power the various technologies. However, this type of energy that many people depend on (oil, coal, and natural gas) are limited resources that will inevitably run out. But from the use of renewable resources, the energy produced by these technologies can replace part of the energy that comes from fossil fuels. In the past, the burning of fossil fuels was a unique innovation with little concern as to what it may face in the future.

Abstract The unknown concentration of benzoic acid used when titrated with standardized 0.1031M NaOH and the solubility was calculated at two different temperatures (20◦C and 30◦C). With the aid of the Van’t Hoff equation, the enthalpy of solution of benzoic acid at those temperatures was determined as 10.82 KJ. This compares well with the value of 10.27KJ found in the literature.
