...It is widely agreed upon that Dmitri Mendeleev is the father of the periodic table of elements that we are all familiar with today. That is at least debatable considering Lothar Meyer came up with a very similar table to Mendeleev’s. The crucial difference between these two is Dmitri’s was to get his widely published before Meyer, thus earning him the credit for developing the table. Before they were able to even assemble elements into an orderly manner, some important things had to happen first. Before it would be possible to even group elements together in an organized way, there, of course, had to be enough elements discovered to populate such a table. Many elemts have been known since thousands of years ago. The first scientific discovery of an element was the discovery of phosphorous in 1649 by Henning Brand. For 200 years following his discovery, science acquired a vast knowledge of elements and their properties. There were so many different elements, it was determined there must be a way to separate them into groups, if only for the sake of convenience. The earliest attempt to divide elements into gases, metals, non-metals, and earths was made by Antoine Lavoisier. For many years after his organization attempt, scientists all over the world began to learn about elements and how certain ones were similar to others. They used this information to make their own version of how they should be grouped together. It was eventually recognized that there should be a universal...

...The chemistry of perming & rebonding Some of us have naturally curly hair but want it straightened; others have it naturally straight but want it curly. But whatever the style you like to wear, there's chemistry involved in it! The structure of hair Hair is made mostly of a protein called keratin, which is also present in nails. In hair, keratin molecules are arranged in straight bundles. These bundles are held together by disulphide bonds (-S-S-), which give strength to the hair. Disulphide bonds are made by the amino acid called cysteine. The cysteine of one keratin molecule forms a disulphide bond with the cysteine of the neighbouring keratin molecule. The more disulphide bonds there are in a strand of hair, the straighter it is. Ammonium thioglycolate: the perm salt Ammonium thioglycolate (HSCH2CO2NH4) is a compound that can break disulphide bonds. This is because it contains a thiol group (-SH). The thiol group replaces one of the sulphur atoms in the disulphide bond, like this: Keratin-S-S-keratin + 2HS-CH2CO2NH4 --> -HO2CH2CS-SCH2CO2H + 2NH3 + 2HS-keratin When the disulphide bond is broken, the keratin bundles come apart, and hair is weakened. Ammonium thioglycolate is therefore used widely in beauty parlours when customers want their hair re-styled. However, if you use too much of it, or if the reaction is left for too long, you could end up going bald. So do not, ever, try it at home! If you have watched the film Legally Blonde, you'll have seen Reese Witherspoon (acting...

...Ohler 1 Kyle Hardenbrook Chemistry CP October 16, 2014 It was not right for what I did in chemistry class today. Swinging my apron between my legs and making weird noises is a safety caution. If someone was walking by me swinging my apron I could have knocked something out of their hand and made them drop the item. It could have been glass or a specific chemical that was dangerous and caused more injury towards someone. It was extremely immature and I let my energy get to the best of my actions today in chemistry. Proper actions should be mature and not act like a fool and try to get people’s attention and make them laugh. Being the class clown is nothing to be happy about. If I would have causes an accident then their project could have been jeopardized which means their grade is jeopardized. I don’t want to be responsible for affecting someone’s grade because of my immature acts. If I were to knock something over and it was hazardous I could have a possibility of injuring someone. Chemicals are nothing to mess around with and that’s why you should never mess around in a lab. If I were to hurt someone it could mean being in the hospital and if I were responsible for having someone in the emergency room and to pay for someone’s bills I would feel absolutely horrible. Being immature in lab and having fun is nothing to joke about. You need to be 100% serious or else you are endangering other people around your own...

...Cp8, Coordination Compound, Synthesis & Product Yield Observation, Description & Questions 1. Compound 1 was initially a light blue color. After adding the oxalic acid and heating it changed to a yellow color. Once the saturated potassium oxalate solution was added it changed to a red color. Once most of the hydrogen peroxide was added it changed colors again to murky brown. Finally it changed to a green color after the solution was brought to a boil and more oxalic acid was added. Compound 3 were crystals that of the same green color. 2. We started with: 10.000 g Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2 • 6 H2O / 392.14 g/mol = .02550 mol. We ended with 6.557 g K3Fe(C2O4)3 • 3 H2O / 491.24 g/mol = .01335 mol. .01335 mol / .02550 mol * 100% = 52.35% yield. 3. If the yield had been greater than 100% percent the likely reason would be that some liquid from the washing process hadn’t been allowed enough time to dry and caused the final weight measurement to be off. 4. Since the yield of the final solid crystals was about half of the starting amount it is likely because the solution didn’t have enough time to completely form into the solid compound. Also, in there may have been a limiting reagent that wasn’t taken into consideration. 5. Charge on iron in reagent I (Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2 • 6 H2O) = 2+ 6. Charge on iron in product III (K3Fe(C2O4)3 • 3 H2O) = 3+ 7. K3Fe(C2O4)3 • 3 H2O = potassium trioxalatoferrate(III)...

...TITLE OF EXPERIMENT: EXTRACTION WITH ACID AND ALKALINE OBJECTIVES: 1) Performed on acid-alkaline extraction 2) Learned to recovered benzoic acid and p-dichlorobenzene from its mixture using acid-alkaline extraction method 3) Determine the percent recovery of benzoic acid and p-dichlorobenzene 4) Determine the melting point of recovered benzoic acid and p-dichlorobenzene INTRODUCTION: Extraction involves dissolving a compound or compounds either from a solid into a liqiud or from a solution into another liquid. An acid-alkaline extraction is also known as a form of liquid-liquid extraction. Extraction is a procedure to separate compounds based on their relative solubility in two different immiscible solutions. Two layers are formed when the mixture are separated. The upper layer contains a low dense solvent. Basically in most of the extraction, one of the solvent used would be water as an aqueous solution and the other would be an organic solvent that is insoluble in water. The choice of organic solvent must be volatile so it can easily by removed by evaporation when forming crystals. The cleanest separations of organic compounds can be performed by using acid or alkaline solutions which can convert the compound to be extracted to a water-soluble and ether insoluble salt. Phenolic compounds undergo similar salt formation with sodium hydroxide solution. Hence, sodium hydroxide solution can be used to extract a carboxylic acid or phenolic compound from its solution...
