A Study Of The Lassaigne Test For Nitrogen, Marion Ann Stout

Bachelors’ Theses

The elementary analysis of an organic compound is a determining factor in the characterization of the compound. The problem of this analysis was first encountered in organic characterization class where it was impossible to obtain a satisfactory test for nitrogen using the Lassaigne Method. It is the purpose of this thesis to testout the Lassaigne method under various conditions and to determine a set of conditions hereby the test will be positive.

A Preliminary Investigation Of The Hydrometallurgy Of Philipsburg Manganese, W. L. Goodman

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

In the past the steel industry of the United States has depended almost wholly on imports for its supplies of manganese. Although it is well known that there are enormous deposits of low grade manganese ore in the United States the production of substantial amounts of ferro-grade mater­ial from domestic sources presents a field for con­structive and practical research.

The Determination Of Interfacial Tension Using Pendant Drop Method, Katherine Tellor

Bachelors’ Theses

Boundary tension is a measure of the free energy of a fluid interface. It is a term derived from the superficial analogy between the surface of a liquid and a stretched membrane. Just as the potential energy of a fluid mass in foot pound per pound is spoken of as a "head" in feet, so it is useful to speak of free energy of a fluid surface in ergs per square centimeter as a "tension" in dynes per centimeter.

The Effect Of Weak Acid On The Stability Of Burnishing Ink, Marcella Wamser

Bachelors’ Theses

By definition we find "An emulsion being a system containing two liquid phases, one of which is dispersed as globules in the other. That liquid which is broken up into globules is termed the dispersed phase, whilst the liquid surrounding the globules is known as the continuous phase or dispersing medium". If a small portion of benzene is poured into a large volume of water, it can be emulsified by simply shaking or agitating. Again, chloroform and water with shaking gives an emulsion.

Test 379: Bear Cat Model 3000-1, Nebraska Tractor Test Lab

Nebraska Tractor Tests

All tractors tested at the Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory were certified by their manufacturers as being stock model machines, conforming to specifications filed with the application for test. No special or high-test fuels were used except as recommended by the manufacturer as necessary.

All results within the official tractor test report were actually attained in tests and are without correction or allowances for friction, temperature, altitude, etc. The results were initially accomplished with the tractor in charge of skilled operators employed by the University.

Unless otherwise noted, each tractor was apparently in good condition at the end of the testing …

A Study Of Form And Content For A Laboratory Manual To Be Used By Students In General Chemistry Laboratory, Berne P. Broadbent

Theses and Dissertations

This investigation was carried out for general chemistry classes in which recitation and laboratory work are closely integrated and in which very close supervision is given to laboratory classes. Results indicate that there are fewer failures under these conditions if students do individual work. Students receiving grades of over 80% seem to work just as effectively in pairs as they do when working individually, but about 5% who fail when working in pairs could, apparently obtain grades above 60% if they did individual work. The formal full statement type of report is substantially more effective than the questionaire report as …

Van Slyke Determination Of Amino Acids In Beer And Malt, Rebecca Spilberg

Bachelors’ Theses

A change has been taking place in the brewing industry during the last few years. There has been a tendency to give up traditional methods of brewing for methods based on sound scientific principles. In line with this, the work of the chemical research laboratory has grown from almost nothing Until it now plays a role of vital importance to the industry.

The Nitric Acid Oxidation Of 12-Hydroxystearic Acid, Henry K. Suzuki

Bachelors’ Theses

Although much work has been done on the oxidation of saturated fatty acids in the past, relatively little research on hydroxylated acids has been conducted.

This paper is a study of the oxidation of mono and poly hydroxy-fatty acids and was undertaken on the basis of Reid and Hall's report on the nitric acid oxidation of 12-hydroxystearic acid.

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The purpose of this investigation is to record data per­taining to porosity and permeability derived from physical tests performed on Devonian dolomites occurring in northwestern Montana, and to subsequently summarize the results obtained as an aid in determining the possibility of those dolomites being suitable reservoir rocks for oil and gas accumulation.

Range Land Of America And Some Research On Its Management, Laurence A. Stoddart

Faculty Honor Lectures

Although grazing of livestock has been a practice and a profession of man almost from his beginning only recently has range management reached anything approaching a pre~ cise science. Although ' trials and errors over the years brought to light much practical methodology for assuring high production from grazing land, still it remained for the plant physiologist and ecologist to find the whys and wherefores, and to advance new methods and new thoughts which promise to increase productivity still further and at the same time maintain the great range resource.

The peculiar land situation that marked America in her forma~ …

The Solubility Of Zinc Ethyl Xanthate In Water, Thomas M. Mckenzie

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

A determination of the solubility of zinc ethyl xanthate was attempted by measuring the refractive index of a saturated solution of that salt. The small increment in refractive index effected by adding zinc ethyl xanthate to water in saturation quantities rendered measurements difficult and of dubious accuracy.
