...Chlorination of an Alchohol Results The final product was 2-chloro-2-methylbutane and its yield was 2.48 grams (MW: 106.5 grams). Weight of 3-methyl-2-butanol: 3.92 grams (MW: 88.15 grams). Theoretical yield: 3.92g alcohol x 1 mol alc. x 1 mol product x 106.59 g prod. = 4.74 grams product 88.15 g alc. 1 mol alc. 1 mol prod. Percent yield: 2.48 grams product (experiment yield) x 100% = 52.3% 4.74 grams product (theoretical yield) Discussion The acid was put on ice because this reaction was exothermic. The acid, NaCl, and alcohol were put into an apparatus together. The acid protonated the alcohol to form a good leaving group, H2O. The heat was added to the reaction to catalyse the leaving group to leave and form the carbo cation (and H2O). The chlorine from NaCl added to the solution was the nucleophile and attacked the carbocation and yielded 2-chloro-3-methylbutane, which was the kinetic product. The thermodynamic product included a 1,2 hydride shift, and the Cl- yielded 2-chloro-2-methyl butane which completed the SN1 reaction. 2-chloro-2-methylbutane separated from the aqueous layer and creates an organic layer. The distillation apparatus was set up, and the product boiled at 24 deg. cel. And was collected in a second round bottom flask. The yield was quite low, coming in at 52.3% of the theoretical yield. This could have been due to some of the product evaporating, or more likely because our temperature never got past...

...of imprisonment. Set in the 1940s, when Rita Hayworth, an over-the-top sex symbol in the American film industry, was alive and flourishing, Shawshank Redemption takes the ordinary lives of Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), Ellis Boyd “Red” Redding (Morgan Freemand), Warden Samuel Norton (Bob Gunton), the hotshot Tommy Williams (Gil Bellows), and Brooks Hatlen (James Whitmore), and coalesces them altogether to set the stage for one of the greatest stories ever set in the dusty grounds of Shawshank State Penitentiary in Maine. Everything from Andy’s imprisonment to his eventual escape was integral events in Shawshank Redemption’s message regarding the necessity for humanity. Following, I will attempt to dissect the movie into three topics for analysis in the following paragraphs, with a conclusion which will reveal an overall reception of the movie as well as provide an evaluation. Symbolism is rife in Shawshank Redemption; everything from the walls that surround Shawshank State Penitentiary...

According to Hans Selye, acknowledge internationally as the “father of stress research” (1936), defined stress as “the nonspecific response of the body to any demand placed upon it”. Researchers continue to struggle today in an effort to agree on exactly what is stress and how it can be measured (AIS, 1979). Stress is a word that comes from the Latin word stringere meaning to draw tight, Cannon (1929) defined stress in terms of the internal physiological state of subjects exposed to threatening or exciting situations, e.g. the raised adrenaline secretion that can be observed in the well-known ‘fight or flight’ reaction (Arnorld and Randall et al., 2010) For several decades, occupational health researchers have been concerned with factors at work that may cause stress (Innstrand et al., 2012). Work-related stress and work pressure draw attention of many researchers due to the increase...

...Introduction On February 8, 1904 war was declared between Imperial Russia and Imperial Japan. Within 17 months, the war ended with peace talks (Treaty of Portsmouth) led by President Theodore Roosevelt following an impressive naval battle at Tsushima. After the Russo-Japanese War, both Alfred T. Mahan and Sir Julian Corbett provided their literary insights on the war and used the outcome to further illustrate their views on the role of sea power and its’ link to national greatness. Both strategic philosophers made credible justifications using the back drop of the war to support their theories, but only Corbett's analysis and previously published theories fully explained how an inferior force consisting of the Japanese Imperial Navy and the Imperial Army ultimately defeated the great power of Russian. Corbett's writings highlighted the need not only for a powerful Navy but also a powerful army to win a nation's wars. Corbett believed in a diverse naval force that would be used for battle, protection of commerce, protection of sea lines of communication, and commerce raiding rather than seeking a decisive battle. In contrast, Mahan believed in having full control/command of the sea to fight numerous battles using capital ships, ultimately culminating in a decisive battle that would tip the scales towards victory. Even though Mahan's theories were not completely supported throughout the Russo-Japanese War, many of his theories were applicable and still are today. ...

...Term Paper Psyc 400, Spring, 2015 Title of Paper: Factors Contributing to Literacy Skills in Children from Low-Income Families In American society, education is considered by many to be an equalizing force for people from all walks of life. It allows the nation’s best and brightest to distinguish themselves from their peers through intellectual merit - at least in theory. Unfortunately, the reality of the situation does not live up to the ideal, especially for children from low income families. Children who are already growing up with the disadvantages of poverty are further hindered by underfunded and ineffectual primary schooling, setting them even further behind middle and upper class children. Before beginning a discussion of the factors or strategies contributing to early literacy, it is important to first establish that there is in fact a discrepancy between low-income children and their more affluent peers in the first place. A review of the research literature is required to lay certain inaccurate stereotypes to rest, such as the notion that poor children are simply lazier students, and do not face additional difficulties with the acquisition of literacy skills. A comprehensive empirical study by Babuder et al (2014) explores the relationship between poverty and reading skills in children, with the results being unanimously negative. The study goes beyond assessing the reading skills of the children, and measures the basic phonological and semantic skills needed...

...William Shakespeare is（1564-1616） widely regarded as the greatest writer in the history of English literature and the most pre-eminent dramatist around the world. Among all his works, many literary critics regard Othello as the peak of his tragedies. Othello is not only a tragedy of family, but also a tragedy of love. Jealous psychology of the characters ultimately leads to the marital tragedy. Iago was jealous of Cassio and Othello, so he slandered and entrapped Cassio and Desdemona, which directly brought about the tragedy. Othello’s true love to Desdemona was utilized by Iago who had an ulterior motive. Driven by jealousy, Othello readily believed Iago, and personally killed his own wife, and eventually drew his sword to cut his own throat. Therefore, the tragedy in Othello’s marriage is largely rooted in jealous psychology. We analyze the reason effect this tragedy of marriage by following the premarital objective situation and the subjective married life. Othello and Desdemona’s marriage is doomed and dysfunctional from the beginning because of acute differences in marriage and due to Othello’s flaw of characters. We analyze the reasons which affect this tragedy of marriage by following the premarital situation then Othello’s characters in married life. To pave the way for detailed analysis, it is necessary to know about two types of marriages at that time.

...HISTORICAL CONTEXT 2 LITERARY CONTEXT 3 ANALYSIS OF TEXT 4 APPLICATION 13 CONCLUSION 17 BIBLIOGRAPHY 20 INTRODUCTION Often we see in many churches that, they appear to be very much alive and spiritually in active in the way they act in those churches. But in reality they are spiritually dead by the circumstance when we get to know more about those churches. This is the same situation that we see with the church in Sardis. Sardis was a wealthy city full of gold taken from the nearby Pactolus River. The city was located on a high hill at the intersection of the five roads. Like the other cities addressed in revelation 2-3, the church of Sardis was probably founded through Paul’s ministry in Ephesus.Revelation 3:1-6 deals with the writings to the angel of the church in Sardis. Well we can see how amazing the writings to the letters of John are for the churches today and for the past 20 centuries and it seems like the problem still exists even now. To welcome at an understanding of this passage briefly, this paper will offer an exegetical analysis by identifying and examining the historical context, offering word studies of significant terms and analyze the text verse by verse and will also demonstrate clearly how God let people of Sardis know that reward is waiting for them if they turn back and repent and complete the works of God and be alert. All this analysis comes under the doctrine of...
