From 1886 to 1891, he studied chemistry at Heidelburg University, Berlin University, and Charlottenberg technical school. In 1894, he was uncertain whether to focus on Physics or Chemistry, when he was offered an assistantship with a leading combustion chemist at Karlsruhe. ... He also undertook work on the fixation of nitrogen, for which he was awarded the Nobel prize for Chemistry for 1918. ...
I. INTRODUCTION Hydrocarbons are compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms. Methane (CH4) and ethane (C2H6) are one of the major examples of hydrocarbons. They also belong to a subgroup of compounds called alkanes. ALKANES are hydrocarbons that do not have multiple bonds between carbon atoms, and we can indicate this in the family name and names for specific compounds by the –ane ending. ...
How do Sutures Dissolve? Did you know that a catgut suture has been around since 150 A.D.. But what so modern doctors use for sutures with the right compatibility, strength, and ability to dissolve using the right biochemistry materials. Doctors use a Synthetic Biodegradable polymer for all the c...
Pectin is a molecule similar to starch except that the repeating unit (residue) of pectin is galacturonic acid instead of glucose as in starch. Galacturonic acid is still very similar to glucose, except one of the carbons has a -COOH group attached instead of a CH2-OH. The pectin chain is held toget...
Boron reacts with halogens to give the corresponding trihalides. Boron trichloride is, however, produced industrially by direct chlorination of boron oxide and carbon at 500 °C. B2O3 + 3C + 3Cl2 → 2BCl3 + 3CO The carbothermic reaction is analogous to the Kroll process for the conversion of titan...
Before the Industrial Revolution, man based most of their technology on the burning of natural gasses or fossil fuels. The constant breakdown of these elements over time has released large amounts of harmful chemicals and gasses into the atmosphere. Global warming is just one of the many results ...
Chemistry Coursework Electrolysis of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) Aim: To find out how the exchange of NaCl will affect the current. Preliminary Test: To make sure we understand how the experiment is going to work, we need to carry out an initial test. This will enable us to go through ...
Life on earth would not exist without the many bonds observed throughout Biochemistry. There is two types of force the intramolecular force which exist between the atoms in a molecule such as Covalent, Ionic and Metallic bonding, the second force being intermolecular force that exist between neighbo...
A chemistry investigation to look at the rates of reaction between marble chips and hydrochloric acid. Task My task is to measure the rate of reaction between marble chips (CaCO3) and Hydrochloric acid (2Hcl). Diagram Plan The equipment I will be usi...
