The lack of evidence that a polygraph can detect lies is the reason the polygraph cannot be used in today’s courtrooms, so then why is it allowed to dictate who will get hired in law enforcement? If you are seeking a job in law enforcement chances are you will be subjected to a polygraph test. The polygraph test is used in part of the interview process to find out about previous drug use and other crimes you may have committed but didn’t get caught for, these crimes are called undetected crimes.
The hydroxyl group on the benzene ring reacts with the acetic anhydride to form an ester functional group. This reaction is called an esterification reaction (Pavia, Lampman, Kriz, & Engel, 1999). A similar reaction was executed using isoamyl alcohol and acetic anhydride. The addition of sulfuric acid catalyzes the reaction. When the reaction is complete, there will be some unreacted salicylic acid and acetic

Throughout history, the curiosities of obtaining knowledge of facts that show the operation of general laws have resulted into the improvements of today’s society. Such curiosity of chemical reactions coiled in the minds of John Dalton in the atomic theory, Rosalind Franklin with genetics, and most importantly Antoine Lavoisier the father of modern chemistry. All who, worked extensively to acquire the understanding that fascinated them most, chemistry. Another chemist who sought after the same knowledge
Relative Reactivity of Anilines Abstract: Various Anilines were tested with Br2/HBr solution, the products were crystallized and melting points attained to verify relative reactivity. My assignment, 2,4-Dibromoanisol, was prepared in a yield of 52% with a melting point of 55-58 C . Reaction: Mechanism: Procedure: Anisole (0.35mL, 0.0378mol) was obtained and placed in a pre-weighed 25 mL round bottom flask, along with 2.5 mL of glacial acetic acid and a magnetic stir bar. Then the

Jovana was walking through the halls after class when she heard someone crying she turned and looked it was a girl getting bullied because of what she was wearing instead of sticking up for the girl she ignored it and kept walking.

Introduction Chromatography is an extensive range of laboratory technique which aims to separate complex mixtures into their components which are distributed between a stationary phase bed and a mobile phase. There are various methods of chromatography. One method of mixture separation by chromatography is the column chromatography. Column chromatography gives a clear visual separation of components throughout the column. It is a cheap, simple method however it is time consuming. Another method

the lower aqueous layer that contained the hydrochloric acid and inorganic compounds. Since neutralization involves heat, some ether was lost to evaporation and additional ether was added to maintain a sufficient volume in the upper organic layer. (Pavia et al 278). The lower layer was then extracted by a separatory funnel. The layer was extracted, and then reextracted with ether, as quickly as possibly, because it would solidify and prevent the layer to be completely extracted. The remaining portions
Natural sciences have always interested mankind, and throughout civilization, we have sought to discover how the world works. This natural curiosity is best fueled by scientific thought and reason.
