1. Select a substance from Table B.1 that begins with the same letter as your first
name or the nearest possible letter (for example Andy -> Aniline). Find and report
the following data for this substance in references other than the course text or
CD, and properly cite the references. The information should be neatly organized
so that the reader can easily review the information as well as the citations.
Complete units should be included where appropriate.
1. basic physical properties for the chemical (specific gravity, molecular weight,
normal
melting and boiling points, Antoine constants, heat of vaporization, heat of
fusion,
heat capacity). If you find that some physical properties are missing for your
chosen
chemical, choose another species with complete physical properties.
2. examples of how the chemical is used in different industrial applications or in
industrially important reactions
3. toxicity data
4. environmental hazards
5. at least three companies that manufacture this product
6. worldwide demand or sales for this chemical; and
7. unit pricing ($/kg, $/gal, etc.) (note: this should reflect bulk pricing, not pricing
of
small units from Fisher Scientific, etc.)
2. From the FR&B textbook index, select a technical topic that begins with the
same letter as your last name or the nearest possible letter (for example Brent ->
Bubble point). Find three papers (not web sites) in the recent literature that deal
with this topic. Copy and paste their citation information and abstracts. Find these
three papers, photocopy or print out their first pages, and attach them to the
homework.
Hint: to find these papers, go to the NCSU Libraries Database Finder
(http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/eresources/dbfinder.html) and select 1 or 2 databases to
search. Some suggested databases to use: EI Compendex, Web of Science,
SciFinder Scholar, or Applied Science and Technology Index.
