biochemical reactions. Although many chemical reactions are thermodynamically feasible, they are often not spontaneous and require energy, termed “activation energy”, which is the minimum amount of energy that two molecules must have in order for them to start to react. In the laboratory, activation energy can be applied in the form of heat to increase the kinetic energy of the molecules to initiate the reaction. Clearly, thermal activation is not a feasible mode of initiating reactions within cells

ARTICLES PUBLISHED ONLINE: 15 DECEMBER 2014 | DOI: 10.1038/NCHEM.2131 Copper-catalysed selective hydroamination reactions of alkynes Shi-Liang Shi and Stephen L. Buchwald* The development of selective reactions that utilize easily available and abundant precursors for the efficient synthesis of amines is a long-standing goal of chemical research. Despite the centrality of amines in a number of important research areas, including medicinal chemistry, total synthesis and materials science, a general

Lab #1 Reaction Kinetics in Redox Reactions Procedure: Step 1: Prepare solution of sodium thiosulfate, place 0.25gm (250 mg) of Na2S2O3 in 100ml beaker, add 20 ml of water and mix until dissolved. Step 2: Prepare solution of potassium iodine. Add 10 gm of KI to a 100 ml beaker and add 20 ml of water and mix until dissolved. Step 3: Obtain a 600 ml beaker, add KI and Na2S2O3 solutions, then add 60ml of 1M HCl. Step 4: Finally add 50ml of .1M H2O2, as soon as the H2O2 is added start

of the parking lot with glow sticks (light sticks). This method of producing light is called chemiluminescence. Chemiluminescence is the direct production of light as the result of a chemical reaction with little or no heat produced. The glow sticks can operate by causing two chemicals to mix. A common reaction used for these devices are hydrogen peroxide and phenol oxalate ester. The hydrogen peroxide is kept in a thin small glass vial in the middle of the stick, and the second chemical phenol oxalate

Tapered legs are used by woodworkers to build tables, chairs and various other projects. Cutting tapers on legs is a simple procedure that includes using a table saw and a plywood jig. Once you have the jig, it can be used again and again to produce matching tapers on as many legs as needed. When you make different sizes for different legs, you can hang the jigs on the wall and then they will be available for future projects. Things you will need: Wood glue, 2 pieces hardwood, 1 1/4-by-2 1/2-by-36

paper to be more visually appealing to the male B. splendens. With each piece of paper, I could cut out the size and shape of a male B. splendens. If the paper were to look like a male betta, it is possible that it could initiate an aggressive reaction from the experimental fish, as male B. splendens have a tendency to behave in such a manner between one another (Snekser et al. 2006). After cutting out the shapes, I could then attach each one to a stick. By doing so, I would have the ability
