Provided in this document are listings (photoreduced copies ofprintouts) of over 1500 entries classified into seven major fields ofchemistry and arranged alphabetically by author within each field. Thesefields include; analytical chemistry, biochemistry, inorganic chemistry,physical chemistry, polymer chemistry, and radiochemistry. Eachentry contains a field code, a keyword code(to facilitate visual scanning of the lists and for use in searching the computer file), acode indicating background required, and the nature of the experiment. Inaddition, special requirements/hazards and time commitment are notedwhen applicable. The introduction to the listings containsdefinitions of keywords used and an explanation for the backgroundrequirement codes. The overall document consists :A a 3-page summaryof the project (including information on how the lists wereproduced), 12 pages of appendices consisting ofcopies of four project newsletters (two of these newsletters contain instructions foraccessing and searching the computer file on the Rensselaer PolytechnicInstitute (RPI) computer by dial-up modem), and 360 pages ofappendices consisting of the list of experiments.

The stated objectives have been met, and the materials so prepared have been widely distributed on a cost basis. Preliminary Lists Project personnel abstracted articles from the Journal of Chemical Education and prepared a Preliminary List in September, 1980. This list was available in the form of a coMputer printout,classified into principal fields, and alphabe- tized by first author. Originally containing about 800 entries, it was supple- ment ed by two additional list!.; in December 1980. The format for printout was determined by Iser response to a questionnaire, and a search program was developed at the same time, with the help of user com- ments. 00 Clf Revised Lists \%) Revised Lists were prepared, which covered 90% of the pertinent articles in. "(31the years 1957-1979. These were made available in September 1982 as a computer LL1 (rA) laser print which was photoreduced. This list also was organized by principal field (analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic, physical, polymer and l radiochemistry). It contained nearly 1500 entries; our estimate in the pro- posal was 1000. After the formal expiration of the grant, a "Corrections" file and an "Additions" file (about 150 entries) was added.A copy of these three lists is included in the Appendix. The distribution in the United States and Canada has been about 180 copies by order (at cost) and 20 to others. The over- seas distribution is about 40. Advisory Committee Besides the project personnel, a group of volunteer workers at other institu- tions - the Advisory Committee - has assisted in reviewing entries, making policy decisions, and editing. Newsletters Four Newsletters have been mailed to correspondents - the fourth in June 1983, after the expiration date of the grant. Copies are included in the Appendix. Computer Access The search programs developed by project personnel at RPI have functioned very well. RPI students have used them routinely for several years. They were demon- strated at an NSF Project Directors meeting and described in the Newsletters and at several national and regional meetings on Chemical Education. One college li- brary is using the files in this way. Microcomputer Use Although not specifically mentioned in the proposal, transfer of the files to microcomputer was a goal which we have not yet realized. Project Seraphim -3- (NSF supported) will assist in this part of the work in Summer, 1983. Availability of Materials and Continuance of the Project The materials developed under the grant have been made available at cost to those requesting. To be of continuing utility these files will require updating, and therefore a continuing Project CHEMLAB. Support has been requested from the American Chemical Society Division of Chemical Education, and the group of pro- ject personnel and other volunteer workers (no salaries have been paid by the project recently) is abstraCting current volumes (1980-1983) of the Journal of Chemical Education. We will make these available,as supplements without additional cost, if our request to the American Chemical Society for modest support is gran- ted.

It is the most widely used herbicide in the world, and the third most commonly used in North America.[1] 2,4-D is also an important synthetic auxin, often used in laboratories for plant research and as a supplement in plant cell culture media such as MS medium. History 2,4-D was developed during World War II by a British team at Rothamsted Experimental Station, under the leadership of Judah Hirsch Quastel, aiming to increase crop yields for a nation at war.[citation needed] When it was commercially released in 1946, it became the first successful selective herbicide and allowed for greatly enhanced weed control in wheat, maize (corn), rice, and similar cereal grass crop, because it only kills dicots, leaving behind monocots. Mechanism of herbicide action 2,4-D is a synthetic auxin, which is a class of plant growth regulators.

China *Author to whom correspondence should be addressed: e-mail [email protected] Received: 7 April 2003; in revised form: 7 July 2003 / Accepted: 20 July 2003 / Published: 31 July 2003 Abstract: An improved method for the generation of dichlorocarbene was developed that utilizes ultrasound in the reaction of carbon tetrachloride with magnesium. High yields of gem-dichlorocyclopropane derivatives can be obtained in the presence of olefins by this method. Keywords: Dichlorocarbene; gem-dichlorocyclopropanes; ultrasonic irradiation; olefin addition; magnesium Introduction Gem-dichlorocyclopropanes are valuable intermediates in organic synthesis [1,2]. They are typically prepared by the addition of dichlorocarbene to olefins under phase-transfer catalysis conditions [3-5]. Sonochemical generation of dichlorocarbene has also been reported [6-8]. The reactions of dichlorocarbene with olefins in solid-liquid two-phase systems using ultrasonication usually afford high yields of double-bond addition products. In addition, excellent yields of diadducts have been obtained from dienes and dichlorocarbene under ultrasonication and phase-transfer catalyst [9]. Molecules 2003, 8 609 Previously, we reported a novel route for the generation of dichlorocarbene by the reaction of carbon tetrachloride with magnesium in a neutral medium and hypothesized that the mechanism of these reactions might involve a single electron transfer [10]. However, these reactions suffered from several experimental drawbacks: some of the major ones being the sudden exotherm that occurs after an unpredictable induction period, foaming, and in some cases, the use of iodine as the activating agent.

    Why Some Migration Conditions for Plastics Are Not Appropriate for Other Fcms

    Why some migration conditions for plastics are not appropriate for other FCMs. Peter Oldring Representing 18 associations directly or indirectly involved in FCMs FIP Network 25th May 2016 Parma 1 Extract from Executive Summary (p9) European Parliament report on 1935/2004 (May 2016) ‘As a general trend, stakeholders who are in favour of further EU level harmonisation recommend that EU specific measures should establish a single standard for analytical (testing) methods, such as composition determination, migration testing, risk assessment, but also specific methods for compliance enforcement, thus ensuring that the relevant FCM is tested by companies and competent authorities across the EU with one and the same method. Furthermore, the EU single standard for analytical (testing) methods should be specific for each FCM, thus reflecting its unique properties and avoiding situations where non-harmonised FCMs are tested with methods developed for harmonised FCMs, which could lead to misleading and debatable test results’ 2 DISCLAIMER . As chair of the 18 associations representing non- plastics, I will try and represent them. The initiative started with CEPE, EMPAC and almost immediately CES silicones joined. Other associations have joined since then. However, I have to understand and work with analytical data, in order to make decisions about and determine the safety of my company’s products. The work is embryonic, associations are still joining and the final format will certainly be different to that initially envisaged. 3 Associations participating in Initiative .

B.Sc., Chemistry Syllabus - CBCS Scheme 2018-19 onwards. Page 1 PREAMBLE For the development of any Society, Science education plays an important role. Chemistry, being a major component of Science, is one of the increasingly important disciplinary areas of Science. Chemistry, which is also studied at the Bachelor’s degree programme for years, has been witnessing a slow transition from an analog to a much- needed one. It is an experimental science and students need to be trained both in the theoretical & practical aspects to get expertise. Moreover, the topics prescribed should provide in-depth knowledge of the subject and also the relevant basic allied subjects. Under this context, in order to make the U. G. teaching more effective and meaningful, revamping the syllabus is the need of the hour. It is certain that systematic and planned curricula from first to the third year shall motivate and encourage students for pursuing higher studies in various disciplines of chemistry such as Inorganic, organic, Physical, Analytical and Bio-Chemistry. This curriculum also enables the students to shoulder the responsibility as chemists in chemical industry. Thus, an updated and content revision of UG Chemistry syllabus is essential to improve its quality at the National and International level and also to meet the present-day challenges of PG and research oriented work after the PG programme.

    Chloroform 18.08.2020.Pdf

    Chloroform Chloroform, or trichloromethane, is an organic compound with formula CHCl3. It is a colorless, sweet-smelling, dense liquid that is produced on a large scale as a precursor to PTFE. It is also a precursor to various refrigerants. It is one of the four chloromethanes and a trihalomethane. It is a powerful anesthetic, euphoriant, anxiolytic and sedative when inhaled or ingested. Formula: CHCl₃ IUPAC ID: Trichloromethane Molar mass: 119.38 g/mol Boiling point: 61.2 °C Density: 1.49 g/cm³ Melting point: -63.5 °C The molecule adopts a tetrahedral molecular geometry with C3v symmetry. Chloroform volatilizes readily from soil and surface water and undergoes degradation in air to produce phosgene, dichloromethane, formyl chloride, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen chloride. Its half-life in air ranges from 55 to 620 days. Biodegradation in water and soil is slow. Chloroform does not significantly bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms. Production:- In industry production, chloroform is produced by heating a mixture of chlorine and either chloromethane (CH3Cl) or methane (CH4). At 400–500 °C, a free radical halogenation occurs, converting these precursors to progressively more chlorinated compounds: CH4 + Cl2 → CH3Cl + HCl CH3Cl + Cl2 → CH2Cl2 + HCl CH2Cl2 + Cl2 → CHCl3 + HCl Chloroform undergoes further chlorination to yield carbon tetrachloride (CCl4): CHCl3 + Cl2 → CCl4 + HCl The output of this process is a mixture of the four chloromethanes (chloromethane, dichloromethane, chloroform, and carbon tetrachloride), which can then be separated by distillation. Chloroform may also be produced on a small scale via the haloform reaction between acetone and sodium hypochlorite: 3 NaClO + (CH3)2CO → CHCl3 + 2 NaOH + CH3COONa Deuterochloroform[ Deuterated chloroform is an isotopologue of chloroform with a single deuterium atom.

The nitrogen reservoir in planetary systems is a long standing problem. Part of the N-bearing molecules is probably incor- porated into the ice bulk during the cold phases of the stellar evolution, and may be gradually released into the gas phase when the ice is heated, such as in active comets. The chemical nature of the N-reservoir should greatly influence how, when and in what form N returns to the gas phase, or is incorporated into the refractory material forming planetary bodies. Aims. We present the study the thermal desorption of two ammonium salts: ammonium formate and ammonium acetate from a gold surface and from a water ice substrate. Methods. Temperature-programmed desorption experiments and Fourier transform infrared reflection spectroscopy were conducted to investigate the desorption behavior of ammonium salts. Results. Ammonium salts are semi-volatile species releasing neutral species as major components upon desorption, that is ammonia and the corresponding organic acid (HCOOH and CH3COOH), at temperatures higher than the temperature of thermal desorption of water ice. Their desorption follows a first-order Wigner-Polanyi law. We find the first order kinetic parameters A = 7.7 ± 0.6 × 1015 s−1 −1 20 −1 −1 and Ebind = 68.9 ± 0.1 kJ mol for ammonium formate and A = 3.0 ± 0.4 × 10 s and Ebind = 83.0 ± 0.2 kJ mol for ammonium acetate.

Newell§, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899-8420, USA (Dated: March 29, 2012) This paper gives the 2006 self-consistent set of values of the basic constants and conversion factors of physics and chemistry recommended by the Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA) for international use. Further, it describes in detail the adjustment of the values of the constants, including the selection of the final set of input data based on the results of least-squares analyses. The 2006 adjustment takes into account the data considered in the 2002 adjustment as well as the data that became available between 31 December 2002, the closing date of that adjustment, and 31 December 2006, the closing date of the new adjustment. The new data have led to a significant reduction in the uncertainties of many recommended values. The 2006 set replaces the previously recommended 2002 CODATA set and may also be found on the World Wide Web at physics.nist.gov/constants. Contents 3.

This data may be available in the literature, but the time involved in searching for it may be considerable. Another issue is the concentration dependence of chemical shifts (especially 1H); results obtained two or three decades ago usually refer to much Figure 1.
