Santo Tomas, España Boulevard, 1015 Manila, Philippines Abstract In organic chemistry it is very common to see molecules comprised mainly of a carbon backbone with functional groups attached to the chain. The functional group gives the molecule its properties, regardless of what molecule contains it.[1] Examples of functional groups are that of hydroxyl (-OH) which is usually seen in alcohols, and carbonyl (C=0) which is seen in aldehydes and ketones. In this experiment, several tests were conducted

carboxylics acid functional group is kept intact. Furthermore this is achieved without the use of a protecting group, such as methyl esters, as seen below. Figure 1: Preservation of Carboxylic Acid Moiety This article further examines the effect of chain transfer agents (CTA), solvents, temperature, and initiator molar ratio on the molecular weight distribution, and determines the optimal environment for direct polymerization. Why is this topic important? Carboxylic acid functional groups serve

g/ml C8H8O2) / 63.0119g C8H8O2 = 0.0478 mol C8H8O2 2. We only get mono-substituted aromatic ring because of the deactivating, electron withdrawing group, ester, of methyl benzoate. It slows down and prevents di- and tri-nitration. 3. Since ethers functional group of anisole is a activating group, so the nitronium ion will attacks on either para- or ortho- position of aromatic ring. The structures are presented as

have changed. Malcolm X is able to express in writing words about how he feels at the moment and realizes the idea of American master narrative in history books. Throughout history texts, almost all historical events are written by white man's perspective and or by dominant views of how history had happened. Malcolm X’s argument regarding the importance of reading from self-education will bring benefits to one’s future is largely effective. Though this excerpt is an anecdote from Malcolm X’s prison

The SN2 reaction can be evaluated by first observing the chemical mechanisms of the compounds involved. The agents took into account for the mechanism was the naphtholate anion and allyl bromide. First, a pair of lone pairs on the oxygen anion on the naphtholate compound attacks a single-bonded carbon on the allyl bromide compound. Afterwards, the bromide leaving group exits the allyl bromide compound, and creates its own anion cloud. Overall, this synthesizes naphthyl ether. The mechanism cannot

As discussed in class, functional behavior assessment (FBA) is the process of determining the cause, or “function”, of behavior before developing an intervention. The intervention must be based on the hypothesized cause, or function, of the behavior. This specific assessment focused primarily on my boyfriend who has a habit of smoking cigarettes. I used a variety of functional behavior assessment tools, such as an ABC data sheet, functional analysis screening tools (FAST), and a motivational assessment

Grace Knight Bio Essay Questions 1. A carboxylic acid is a compound that consists of a carboxyl colony. Amines are compounds and working masses that contain a basic nitrogen atom with a single pair. A hydroxy or hydroxyl group is the entity with the formula OH. It basically includes hydrogen bonded with oxygen. 2. Cells are considered the smallest units of life because everything is made up of them. They are also referred to as the building blocks of life. 3. If an organism is active sexual

PEST CASE STUDY: COCA COLA PEST analysis examines changes in a marketplace caused by Political, Economical, Social and Technological factors. Look at the following statements abstracted from various sources, and group them under the following headings: Political; Economic; Social; Technological After the shock of the attacks on September 11, 2001, and despite the debilitating effect of the Iraq War, the USA’s economy had returned to sustained growth by 2006. However, things have changed quite

of alcohols were to be differentiated along with aldehydes and ketones. Hydroxyl groups are functional groups containing OH- atoms acting as substituents in an organic compound, carbonyl- groups refer to a divalent group consisting of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom. Hydroxyl groups are characteristic functional groups of alcohols and phenols, while carbonyl groups are characteristic functional groups of aldehydes and ketones. The samples include ethanol, n-butyl alcohol, sec-butyl
