Properties Of Cement Acid Gels, Charles Ansel Suter Jun 1954

Properties Of Cement Acid Gels, Charles Ansel Suter

Honors Theses

This thesis summarizes the research conducted during the period June 1953-June 1954 under the research fellowship established in the Department of Chemistry at Union College by the North American Cement Corporation.


The Catalytic Vapor Phase Butylation Of Phenol, Nathan Lewis Zutty Jun 1954

The Catalytic Vapor Phase Butylation Of Phenol, Nathan Lewis Zutty

Honors Theses

The purpose of this experiment is to study the reaction between secondary butyl alcohol and phenol in the vapor phase. The effect of temperature upon the formation of different butyl phenols and butyl phenyl ethers was observed.


A Study Of Sodium Methyl Siliconate In Gel Formation, Alvah Cullings Koert Jun 1954

A Study Of Sodium Methyl Siliconate In Gel Formation, Alvah Cullings Koert

Honors Theses

The object of this work was to study the critical pH range in which the gels of sodium methyl siliconate are believed to form and to plot potentiometric titration curves for the compound at various dilutions. This study is a continuation of the work begun here at Union College last year on General Electric’s SC-50.


A Semi-Micro Spectrophotometric Method Of Copper Analysis, Edgar Miller Layton Jun 1954

A Semi-Micro Spectrophotometric Method Of Copper Analysis, Edgar Miller Layton

Honors Theses

The Manhattan Project of the United States atomic energy program was designed essentially to produce methods and instruments of atomic warfare. Out of the many investigations made by the scientists and engineers working to attain this primary goal, much information of value was necessarily placed in the background and, as a consequence, a vast amount of material was only cursorily studied by these workers. The type of relationship between the per cent transmission and concentration decrease was to be investigated in the hope of establishing an empirical formula for use in a certain concentration range. As an added check on …


Electrodeposition And Cathode Potential, Kenneth Frederick Greenough Jun 1954

Electrodeposition And Cathode Potential, Kenneth Frederick Greenough

Honors Theses

When two electrodes are placed in a solution of an electrolyte and a voltage is applied, a continuous current will flow only when the voltage is equal to or greater than the decomposition potential of the electrolyte. At voltages above the decomposition potential, the current is proportional to the applied voltage, i.e. Ohm’s law where I = E/R. At voltages below, there is a temporary flow of current, existing until the products of electrolysis accumulate and produce an opposing voltage, causing the residual current to diminish. A plot of current versus applied voltage is at first almost horizontal, and the …


Reactions In The Synthesis Of Indazole, Richard Velmer Webb Jun 1954

Reactions In The Synthesis Of Indazole, Richard Velmer Webb

Honors Theses

This investigation was undertaken to study the reaction mechanism involved in the formation of Indazole. A study was also made to determine the effect of a polar solvent on the yield of Indazole using Dreyfuss' method of preparation.


Coloration Of Alkali Halide Crystals, Gerald Kirwin Ryan Jun 1954

Coloration Of Alkali Halide Crystals, Gerald Kirwin Ryan

Honors Theses

In the experiments crystals were heated in the presence of the alkali metal or its vapors. The metal's electron goes to the site of the corresponding missing anion forming a F-center.


Properties Of Cement Acid Gels, Charles Ansel Suter Jun 1954

Properties Of Cement Acid Gels, Charles Ansel Suter

Honors Theses

This thesis summarizes the research conducted during the period June 1953 - June 1954 under the research fellowship established in the Department of Chemistry at Union College by the North American Cement Corporation. The research was performed under the direction of Professor Charles B. Hurd, to whom the author is indebted for many helpful suggestions and ideas.
