...I took an introduction to Spanish I, general Psychology I, Public Speaking and Organic Chemistry I. Along with school, I was briefly working two jobs and volunteering twice a week. I decided only to keep one job because it was too hectic. My title for the job I kept is Student Success Leader, which is similar to a peer-counselor. With the other brief job, I was a tour guide for the CUNY-wide College Explorers program, which gives tours to middle school students, with the intent of having them go to college. I volunteer for South Bronx United, where I serve as a youth tutor to high school students. I was also offered an opportunity to work as a tutor for the math department at BCC, seeing how well I did on the placement exam and both my Calculus courses, I declined the offer because of all the tasks I was doing. Lastly, I was offered an opportunity by general chemistry II professor to do research with him. The research is on “the Determination of chemical composition in rainwater and snow in different locations at Bronx Community College of City University of New York (BCC).” In the end, I decided not to do the research as I was trying to make going to classes, working and volunteering along studying and doing homework...

...filtrate to effect recovery of the material as a solid and then filtered again by suction filtration. The purpose of this experiment is to introduce basic experimental techniques, associated glassware, and apparatus that are frequently used in the organic chemistry laboratory. In this lab we will be determining the melting point of pure benzoic acid and compare the observed results with the results given in the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics. This experiment also includes the process of recrystallization and identification of an unknown organic solid using its melting point. Procedure: I. Determination of Melting Point When determining the melting point, an SRS DigiMelt 160 will be used to determine the melting point of benzoic acid. A small sample of the acid must be used in order to receive an accurate reading. A clean capillary tube must be used to avoid contamination and obtain an accurate result. When the solid is being heated, raise the temperature rapidly to about 15º C below the expected melting point and then continue to heat slowly at a rate of ½ º C/ min. Once the melting point has been observed, compare the result with the expected melting point of 122.4 º C. II. Recrystallization and Identification of an Unknown Organic Solid Acid. In this section of the experiment, we will first obtain an unknown acid sample that has a small amount of impurity. We will place 3 g of the sample in a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask, then add 50 mL of distilled water and heat the flask using...

...Chemical Inventory Management System David Acker Auburn University Risk management and Safety Abstract Managing chemical inventories at colleges and universities is one of today’s major challenges for higher education. This is especially true for large, diverse, research-oriented institutions like Auburn University. Knowing what chemicals are on site, their hazard potential, who is responsible for them, and where they are located is essential to maintaining a safe campus. Additionally, Federal and State regulations dealing with hazardous waste, chemical security, and emergency preparedness have become more stringent in recent years, requiring greater accountability from colleges and universities. These safety and regulatory compliance imperatives, along with issues of environmental sustainability and cost containment, drive the need for effective chemical inventory management in the university environment. In order to achieve effective chemical inventory management at Auburn University, Risk Management and Safety (RMS) has implemented a Chemical Inventory Management System (CIMS). The technological core of the CIMS is a chemical tracking database that provides realtime, discreet (to the individual container) monitoring of chemical inventories. The database has the capacity to accurately link the chemical container to hazard data, location, user, and acquisition date. Personnel, equipment, and budgetary resources were required to support the implementation phase, and ongoing...

...Synthesis of the Diels-Alder Adduct Purpose: To investigate the methods behind Diels-Alder chemistry through the laboratory synthesis of 4- cyclohexene-cis- ,2-dicarboxylic anhydride from butadiene sulfone with maleic anhydride. By utilizing the theoretical concepts in a hands-on approach through laboratory synthesis, I hope to gain a better understanding of the reaction concepts governing Diels- Alder chemistry. Theory: The Diels-Alder reaction is a cycloaddition, chemical reaction that occurs between a conjugated diene, a molecule with two alternating double bonds, and dienophile, an alkene, to form rings and bicyclic compounds. Because it involves the interaction of four π electrons that are supplied by the diene and the two π electrons supplied by the dienophile, the Diels-Alder reaction is often called [4 + 2] cycloaddition. In the reaction, two new σ bonds are formed and one π bond is formed at the expense of two π bonds, which results in a cyclic product. The Diels-Alder reaction is a member of a larger class of reactions called pericylic reactions, which are reactions that take place in a single step, without intermediates and that involve the flow or redistribution of bonding electrons. The reaction proceeds through a cyclic transition state and is concerted, meaning bonds in the transition state are simultaneously made or broken. The Diels-Alder reaction is favored when the dienophile is the substituted with electron withdrawing groups such as nitriles, amines...

... BIO – VERMI COMPOST Submitted by, Karthikeya B (13UTA17) INTRODUCTION Earthworms are the friends of farmers. They not only aerate the soil but also help in producing Vermi compost, a valuable resource for improving soil fertility. Vermi compost is becoming increasingly popular among farmers, as a source of soil fertility and also as a source of income generation. Vermi-biotechnology is an eco-friendly, socially sound and economically viable innovative technology to manage the organic waste resources on low capital input basis. This does not call for expensive laboratories or sophisticated industrial instruments. It has multiple benefits – can convert wastes into fertilizers; make soils healthy; can eliminate the dependence on chemicals can bring waste-land under cultivation; create employment to millions of youth, can feed hungry citizens and can make a country green and prosperous in a span of just a few years. A project on Vermi biotechnology is being implemented in Aligarh District of Uttar Pradesh in India, with the assistance of the Department of Biotechnology, Govt. of India. It is being implemented in five panjayats blocks namely Lodha, Jawa, Khair,Tappal and Dhanipur with the technical assistance of Dharma SamajCollege...
