Doout the research process provides a neiprur overview of the steps you should take. Part A
Your presentation should make a convincing argument supporting or opposing the idea that natural gas is a clean energy
source. Your presentation should answer some of these questions:
• What is natural gas?
• What geological processes form natural gas?
• Is natural gas found in equal amounts around the globe? Why or why not?
• How much natural gas is used in the United States each year? How does this compare with oil and coal use?
• How does burning natural gas influence the carbon cycle?
• How much carbon dioxide (CO2) does natural gas emit compared with other fossil fuels?
. Are there energy alternatives that emit less CO2 than natural gas does? If so, are these solutions equally available
everywhere on Earth?
• Based on your findings, would you consider natural gas a clean source of energy?
Write down two additional questions you have about natural gas that will help you make this argument in your
presentation

Straightforward questions answered in the powerpoint slidesreaction: heating the starting materials under refluxwhat does it mean to heat under reflux? why do we choose water as the reflux solvent? what are boiling chips used for? why do we put a condenser on top of the reaction? why do we add heat and let the reaction stir for 30 minutes? why do we add sulfuric acid to the reaction after it cools as opposed to when it’s still hot? separation: filtration of precipitatewhy don’t we do an aqueous and organic extraction in the separatory funnel? why do you rinse the salicylic acid on the filter with ice cold water? purification: recrystallization of salicylic acid (no hot filtration needed)what is the difference in the amount of room temperature water vs. boiling water needed to dissolve the salicylic acid (assume a 1.2 gram yield of salicylic acid)? remember, in the lab if you need x ml of boiling water to dissolve a solid, then you should add a little more (definitely no more than 1.5 times the theoretical amount) to ensure it doesn’t recrystallize prematurely.analysis: melting point of salicylic acidwhat can you conclude if the melting point of the salicylic acid you just synthesized is 152-155oc and the 1: 1 mix of your product and “synthetic” salicylic acid is 151-154oc?
