hydroxide. Acetylene is combustible‚ and burns when ignited. Acetylene was discovered in 1836 by Edmund Davy who identified it as a "new carburet of hydrogen". Acetylene gas is colorless and is mainly uses as efficient gas and chemical building blocks and it also has the highest flame temperature of any common hydrocarbon because of its triple-bond structure H-C=C-H. The acetylene gas is very flammable and it produces a burst of flame when it is ignited. Its high flame temperature allows it to be

catalysts which will improve efficiency or produce a greater yield. An acidic catalyst works due its acid nature. Catalysts are strong acids and readily give up hydrogen ions‚ or protons: H+. Protons can be released from hydrated ions‚ for example H3O+‚ but more commonly they are released from ionisable hydroxyl groups (R-OH) where the O-H bond is broken to produce R-O- and H+. When the reactant receives protons from an acid it undergoes a conformational change‚ (change in shape and configuration)‚ and

t-Pentyl Chloride is a compound that is created through an SN1 nucleophilic substitution reaction in addition with Hydrogen Chloride in order to isolate the product. A variety of procedural techniques were utilized during the experiment including extraction‚ washing liquids‚ drying liquids‚ gravity filtration‚ and simple distillation. When a single solute or compound is transferred between two different solutes‚ it is known as extraction. Another technique that was utilized was washing‚ in which

the result of an oxidation reaction. The oxidation proceeds in two steps‚ which ultimately lead to the production of the aminophthalate anion in an excited state and the elimination of water and molecular nitrogen. The formation of the strong triple bond (N≡N) is a major factor in the release of energy in the form of light.
