Chemist / Organic Chemist
Profile
Highly driven and educated Organic Chemist with experience in the synthesis of materials to produce a chemical reaction. I also have an interest in environmental science. The demonstration involves the synthesis & structure determination, effect of temperature, as well as working up the reaction. When performing a homogenous reaction, the products were usually solids, or liquids dissolved in a solvent to mediate a reaction. Heterogeneous mixtures, invoked the use of gases such as oxygen, hydrogen, or carbon dioxide with material in a solution. After determine the structure, a fisher apparatus was used to determine a boiling point of the product. Most organic reactions were either endothermic, or exothermic.
I always strive to provide the best performance so that I could accede others expectations.

Experience
RUTGERS UNIVERSITY, Newark, NJ 2003–2009
Student
As a student, would perform the scientific structures, properties and reactions of any class of gaseous, liquid, or solid chemical compounds that contain molecules of carbon. After each experiment, all data results included percentage yields, melting points, boiling points and others were recorded. Some experiments that were performed were,
The extraction of caffeine from tea leaves
The determation of the highest capsaicin in hot peppers.
HPLC
Experimental part of the extraction involved using equipment such as the Erlenmeyer flask filled with water and 15 tea bags that had to be boiled for 7 min to extract the caffeine from the tea bags.
Then, 30ml of dichloromethane was poured into a separatory funnel, which was used to separate solutions from the product.
An experiment was performed determining the amount of capsaicin in hot peppers.
Using the scoville scale, it was seen that the pepper with the most capsaicin was the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion pepper located in Trinidad with over two million scoville units of capsaicin.
