The purpose of this lab was to perform a Diels Alder reaction by using anthracene and maleic anhydride to form 9,10-dihydroanthracene-9,10-α,β-succinic acid anhydride. At the end of the experiment, the mass of the final product was used to calculate the percent yield in order to examine the efficiency of the reaction. In addition, the melting point range was measured of the final product and compared with the literature value to determine the purity of the product. To a 10 mL round bottom flask

A standard drink is classified on the type of alcohol beverage: 12oz of beer, 8oz of malt liquor, 5oz of wine, and 1.5oz of distilled spirits or liquor (HHS & USDA, 2015).

Drinking and driving can obviously get people in trouble with the law. Beyond the legal ramifications, it is also a dangerous thing to do.

If something happens on the roadway, the driver is less able to react in time to prevent an accident. The Dangers of Drinking and Driving The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 112 million adults were drinking and driving

be made. One of the major decisions being to choose the right solvent to perform recrystallization in. It was decided, between the choice of ethanol and ethyl acetate, that ethanol was to be used for recrystallization. This was decided by testing the solubility of the product in both solutions. In ethyl acetate, the product readily dissolved, while in ethanol it needed heat to dissolve. The Aldol condensation reaction consisted of mixing two unknowns, A345 (a liquid) and a B192 (a solid).

Was Prohibition Really Prohibiting? America during the early 1900’s was not the most sober of times. People were drowning themselves in alcohol. They would not be considered today’s “ I might have a beer or two” kind of people, but rather like “ When are we getting the next barrel of beer” kind of people. In fact, some would say that they were drinking up to three times as much as us today. Along with that, they also started drinking whenever they could because no legal age limit was set until

After stirring for 10 minutes to ensure precipitation, a white crystalline paste was formed. The precipitate was collected using vacuum filtration and washed with cold diethyl ether-acetic acid then methanol. The product was recrystallized with ethanol and then vacuum filtered to obtain white crystals. The product formed was cholesterol dibromide from 2 bromine additions to the double bond on cholesterol.1 The mass of the cholesterol dibromide product was 0.429 g and the amount of moles was 7

The investigation that will be performed will be answering the question, Does Vanilla Extract, Salt, and Flour effect the Rate of Fermentation in yeast? Alcoholic Fermentation is an anaerobic process which takes 2 pyruvic acids + NADH and turns it in to alcohol, NAD+, and carbon dioxide. Alcoholic Fermentation is an important process that is commonly used to make the dough of bread rise. The reason that the bread rises is because the ingredient of Yeast releases carbon dioxide which makes the dough
