catalysis by organometallic compound







1)  what is alkene hydrogenation  ?

An alkene  addition reaction is a process  called  hydrogenation . In a hydrogenation reaction  two hydrogen atom  are added  across   the double bond  of an alkene  resulting  in a saturated  alkene . The heat released is called  heat of hydrogenation .

 2) what is  wilkinson's catalyst ?

  First effect homogenious  catalyst   is a  square  planner  16 electron  d8 complex  chlorotris (triphenyl phosphine ) rhodium(1) called wilkinson's catalyst . 

3) what do you understand by Tolman catalytic loops ? 

 A  reaction  involving  a true catalyst  can always be represented  by   a closed loop is called  Tolman catalytic loops.



 4)Explain the term hydroformylation  ?

Hydroformylation   also called a oxoprocess  or oxo synthesis 

It is an industrial process  to prepare  aldehyde from alkanes . 

In this process  there is a net addition  of formyl group(-CHO) and  a hydrogen atom to a   C = C  double bond .

This process is considered as very important  because aldehydes are easily  converted into a large no  of secondary product .

5) Describe the steric effect in  hydroformylation process ?

   In this effect  where hydrogen  is transferred to the C  atom  which has  most hydrogen atom  . The resulting alkyl group  has a larger  steric bulk close to  the ligand  on the cobalt . The bulky ligand in the cobalt . The bulky ligand on  the cobalt   have  greater steric effect . Thus the mixed  carbonyl  phosphine complexes offer a great  selectivity towards  those products which have a straight chain .

 6) What is asymmetric   hydrodformylation ?

prochiral alkanes   form new stereocenters by  their hydroformylation  can be tailored to favour  one  enantiomer .

Meteorological Data Analysis

Is there any change due in weather to global warming in of Finland by using Data analytics                                       Effect of  global warming  “Has the Apparent temperature and humidity compared monthly across 10 years of the data indicate an increase due to Global warming” To find whether the average Apparent temperature for the month of a month say April starting from 2006 to 2016 and the average humidity for the same period have increased or not. step-1  Importing of libraries and Dataset.   import libraries step-2   over Look at the dataset. step-3 Cleaning the Dataset step-4 Plotting a graph of  the following Dataset >  Firstly  plot the  graph whole dataset for all months  Graph for all month >  Now    plot graph for a specific month(April) .   Graph for  month of April Conclusion: As we can analyze there isn’t any change in humidity in past 10 years( 2006–2016) for the month of April.  where as , temperature increases sharply in 2009 and drops in 2015 for rest

Mechanical and durability Behavior of fiber reinforced concrete incorporating deferent types of natural, pp and steel fibers

  1. Introduction As an important building material, concrete has been widely used in civil engineering applications such as bridges and roads engineering, and the related experimental study of the mechanical properties of concrete was also fruitful . With the vigorous development of engineering construction, high-performance concretes such as fiber-reinforced concrete was applied gradually in important engineering structures . Among these high-performance concretes, for the advantages of low cost, easy fabrication, and performance improvements, obviously, steel fiber-reinforced concrete was used widely in the current engineering field . However, the study showed that uneven incorporation of steel fiber would affect the fluidity and uniformity of concrete mixing and even result in fiber bonding, which eventually affects the reinforcement effect of mechanical properties. Up to now, most research paid attention on the improvement effect of different types of fiber or optimum fiber conten
