An Oxidation-Reduction Scheme Nicolas Gibson Lab Time: Tuesday 11:30 am Abstract: In this experiment‚ the main objective was to synthesize a ketone from borneol via an oxidation reaction and secondly‚ to produce a secondary alcohol from camphor via a reduction reaction. Therefore‚ the hypothesis of this lab is that camphor will be produced in the oxidation reaction and isoborneol will be the product of the reduction reaction because of steric hindrance. For the oxidation step

In order to reverse this trend‚ we must understand why teens begin to abuse drugs and alcohol‚ learn ways to prevent them from starting in the first place and consistently use proven treatment methods to help them stop once they start. Teens begin to abuse drugs and alcohol for many different reasons. A reason like the youth living situation can trigger them to use drugs. Others reasons that juveniles start to use drugs is to

reactions used for their preparation are oxidations. In this experiment‚ an aromatic carboxylic acids namely benzoic acid will be prepared by oxidizing benzyl alcohol which is a primary alcohol. The oxidizing agent used is alkaline potassium permanganate (VII). Benzyl alcohol is an aromatic alcohol with the formula C6H5CH2OH. It is a primary alcohol because the carbon atom which the hydroxyl group‚-OH group is connected joins to one alkyl group and two hydrogen atoms.

effects of alcoholism on women based on the book “Drinking a Love Story” written by Caroline Knapp. Alcohol consumption is considered a rite of passage‚ a tool facilitating the transition from childhood to adulthood. Words like “wasted‚” “smashed” and “trashed” are common adjectives to describe the after effects of a “great night out.” However‚ there is a line between social drinking and alcohol abuse. For some women the line becomes blurred and they become full blown alcoholics. This paper will

A second symptom of alcoholism is having no strength of mind or will to stop the consumption of alcohol once it has started (McKesson 3). This perspective is totally ridiculous that any intelligent person would fall down laughing. How would anyone know if one is able to do something until he/she does it?

Common functional groups found in organic molecules are listed below: * Alkene * Primary alcohol * Tertiary alcohol * Aldehyde * Ketone * Carboxylic acid * Ester * Halogen alkane * Phenol Alkene In organic chemistry‚ an alkene is an unsaturated chemical compound. This means it contains a carbon – carbon bond. All alkenes

Ethanol Production Ethanol is the type of alcohol found in alcoholic drinks such as wine and beer. Its chemical formula is: C2H5OH. Glucose from plant material is converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide by fermentation. The enzymes found in yeast (single-celled fungi) are the natural catalysts that can make this process happen. Here is the word equation: Sugar → Ethanol + Carbon Dioxide
