Essays on Bromine

Binary acids form the second category of acids after oxy-acids. As opposed to oxy-acids, binary acids are only composed of two elements. The basic elements that form binary acids include hydrogen and a nonmetal compound. It is imperative to note that binary acids have two things in common; the fact that they both contain hydrogen atom and the presence of a nonmetal atom in their composition (Tro, 2015). A combination of a hydrogen atom and a nonmetal atom results in the formation of a binary acid. The concept is bets understood through examples. Some of the most common binary ...

Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution to yield 4-Bromoacetanilide

Introduction Halogenation is a common process in organic synthesis. It is used in industrial and research synthesis as halogenated compounds are used for numerous widely used goods, including plastics. The lab aimed to perform monohalogenation of acetanilide. The reaction is specific since it is performed without catalyst. The typical halogenation is realized in presence of Lewis acid. Halogens molecules are electrophilic, and do not actively react. In presence of Lewis acid, the interaction is rather active.2 The lab used catalyst-free halogenation. The acetanilide molecule contains the acylated amine. As a result, the electronic density is shifted towards the amine ...

Great Lakes: Great Decisions

Question 1

Great Lakes is faces an increasingly informed society which knows and understands the environmental and health effects of the company’s operations in the production of lead additives to gasoline. Increased awareness as well as rising literacy levels both in the united states and the other developing countries in which the use of leaded gasoline is rampant means that the society is more aware of the dangers posed to it by the operations of Great Lakes and this may adversely affect the goodwill currently enjoyed by the company and may ultimately lead to erosion of the company’ ...
