Chapter 1, Problem 58Q
You may have admired the beauty of hardwood floors. Polyurethane is the finish of choice for floors because it is more durable than varnishes and shellacs. Until recently, polyurethane was always an oil-based paint. But recently, the Bayer Corporation developed a water-based polyurethane that reduces the amount of VOCs by 50–90%. In 2000, Bayer was awarded a Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge award for this development. Prepare a summary of this work. Also check stores to see if any water-based polyurethanes are available in your area.

old house. The bottle was labelled
information was given, but inside the bottle were some white crystals.
The student took the bottle to a chemistry laboratory, where she analyzed the
crystals with the help of the laboratory staff. C₁2H₁6O reacted with Br₂ in CCl4
adding one mole of Br, and forming C₁₂H₁OB2₂.
When a sample of C₁₂H₂O was reacted with O3 followed by Zn/H₂O, two
different samples, J and K, were obtained. Compound J had a molecular formula
of C.HgO₂, and its NMR is shown below.
Compound K had a molecular formula of C₂H₂O, and it could be oxidized to
compound L, with a molecular formula of C₂H₂O₂. The IR spectrum of L showed
a very wide, strong band centred around 3000 cm*¹. The NMR spectrum of L
showed only two different absorptions: a doublet (6H) at 0.9 ppm and a septet
(1H) at 3.6 ppm. There was also a singlet (1H) off the scale at 11.8 ppm.

- Marie Curie was born in Poland but studied and carried out her research in Paris. In 1903, she shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with H. Becquerel and her husband Pierre for their discovery of radioactivity. (In 1911 she received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of two new chemical elements, radium and polonium, the latter named for her homeland, Poland.) They and others observed that a radioactive substance could emit three types of radiation: alpha (), beta (), and gamma (). If the radiation from a radioactive source is passed between electrically charged plates, some particles are attached to the positive plate, some to the negative plate, and others feel no attraction. Which particles are positively charged, which are negatively charged, and which have no charge? Of the two charged particles, which has the most mass? Radioactivity. Alpha (), beta I(), and gamma () rays from a radioactive element are separated by passing them between electrically charged plates.arrow_forwardWhich of these statements are qualitative?

- Nitroglycerine is a shock-sensitive compound that decomposes as follows: 2 C3H5N3O9(l) --> 6 CO2(g) + 3 N2(g) + ½ O2(g) + 5 H2O(g) 10.0 kg of nitroglycerine sits in a 5.0-L cylinder. A chemist, angry that an experiment didn’t work, foolishly kicks the cylinder, thereby inadvertently performing his last and most dramatic experiment.

- A teacher developed a new chemical - NONDISTRACTUS, which allows students to focus in the classroom more and not be distracted by random events. For NONDISTRACTUS to be effective there must be a minimum concentration in the student's body of 2.00 x10-3 mol / L. If the concentration falls below this level, the students are faced with a 10 min nonproductive period where they cannot focus on anything. NONDISTRACTUS was found to undergo a very rapid first-order decay with a half-life (t½) in the bodies of students of 23 min. Based on this information:a) What is the rate law constant, k?b) If the student starts off with an initial concentration of 2.25 x 10-2 mol / L dose, how long will it be until the concentration is above the minimum 2.00 x 10-3 mol / L?
