1) Besides the three green chemistry principles mentioned, what are five more? How would one implement two of these principles in an undergraduate laboratory experiment?

Reduce Derivatives, prevention, Design for Energy Efficiency, real-time analysis for pollution prevention, and use of Renewable Feedstocks. Two ways these can be implemented is change the methods of how we do experiments so we produce less waste and also to work with experiments that react in room temperature instead of always having to heat products.

2) Why are ethyl acetate, water, and methanol considered “green” solvents? What are some other examples of green solvents?

Ethyl acetate, water and methanol are considered “green” solvents because they have low toxicity, have few life cycle environmental impacts and no major safety impacts. Other examples of green solvents are acetone, ethanol, heptane and isopropyl acetate.

3) What are some other methods that can be used to achieve this oxidation? What are some
