unknown chemical compound was. We did two different experiments in order to examine how light is created and changed. In one, we looked at how chemical compounds affected a flame’s color, and to determine what the unknown salt contains. In the other lab, we looked at how atoms create light, and how it is displayed on the elements individual spectral line. The salts used made up of chemical compounds. All chemical compounds are made up of either molecular or ionic compounds. Molecular compounds are the

bottles purchased at your local super market to eating leftovers from food storage containers in your refrigerator, plastics are everywhere in the world and it seems as if they’re here to stay. But have you heard of the chemical Bisphernol-A? Also known as BPA, this chemical compound is found in just about every plastic that you come in contact with and has created quite the uproar in the media over the last several years in question on its safety for consumer use. Scientists from around the world
solubility in water and most common organic solvents limits its applications (Dash, Chiellini, Ottenbrite, &Chiellini, 2011).According to the literature (Du & Hsieh, 2008; Mourya, Inamdar, &Tiwari, 2010; Rinaudo, 2006) carboxymethylation is one of the chemical modification methods that increase the water solubility of chitosan. The carboxymethylation of chitosan enhances moisture retention and adsorption properties, chelating and sorption properties, antioxidant activity, antimicrobial activity, apoptosis
The genre of this book is nonfiction. “Napoleon's Buttons” contain a fascinating story of seventeen groups of molecules that have greatly changed the course of history and continuing affect the world we live in today. It also reveal the astonishing chemical connection among some unrelated events, for example: Chemistry caused New Amsterdamers to be renamed New Yorkers and one little accident of detonating cotton apron in a minor housekeeping mishap lead to the development of modern explosives and the
metabolites, PCBs, etc.); but also misused for non-adsorbable adsorbed OX-compounds, mostly high molecular organohalogens in plants and even to inorganic compounds being neither organic nor adsorbable. The question of natural “Adsorbable Organic Halogens” (AOX) formed by living organisms and/or during natural abiogenic processes has been definitively solved by the known existence of already more than 3650 organohalogen compounds, amongst them the highly reactive, cancerogenic vinyl chloride (VC). In
degree reduce herbivory, including low nitrogen concentration, low moisture content, toxins or digestibility-reducing compounds”. The type of chemical defence may be species specific (Scott 2008). The defences that plants possess may be in the form of chemical production or in the form of physical defences such as thorns or spikes and even through reinforced, rigid leaves. “The compounds that are produced in response to herbivory can either have a direct effect on the attacker itself (e.g. toxins or
Fracking can cause harm to people, animals, and nature. When they drill into the ground they are pumping chemicals to extract the gas and oil, and this contaminates the water sources around it. “An editorial on gas extraction from the Marcellus Shale in the Post-Star, a newspaper in Glens Falls, New York, contends, “New York state simply can’t take the risk.
out how to do this is through cloud seeding. Some people say that cloud seeding is harmful, while others say that it helps because of environmental factors like droughts. Cloud seeding has many factors involved in the process, including different chemicals and delivery methods. According to weatherquestions.com “Cloud seeding is the process of spreading either dry ice, or more commonly, silver iodide aerosols, into the upper part of clouds to try to stimulate the precipitation process and form rain
Two essays read by the class, “Fables for Tomorrow” and “The Clan of One-Breasted Women”, target the idea that chemical compounds have an impact on nature. They make it a priority to get their points across that limiting pesticides and chemical compounds will help make America, and other places around the world a better place. They provide very educational messages in getting their points across about the dangerous roles the pesticides play in the world today. Humans and the government cause this
The price advantage comes from having many suppliers and having the ability to control cost through volume. Bottleneck items would be something like a chemical compound for a paint or industrial application. The impact on cost is low, but supply risk might be high due to the fact that the chemicals comprising the compound may be difficult to source in war-torn countries or difficult to transport safely. Noncritical items may be something like lubricants or other items in the manufacturing
as boiling point, melting point, and solubility. During this lab the soulbility of solids were observed. While testing boiling and melting point, the solid changed to a liquid.. By using different solids, it took different times in order for the chemical to break down, due to different molecular structures. Another purpose of the lab is to identify unknown substances, a way to do this is by taking an unknown substance and comparing it to potential solids along with thier melting points. Once these
liquid due to evaporation. A reflux apparatus is capped so that vapors do not escape and the system is contained resulting in a larger end product. The reason for using a distillation technique was to produce an individual component of the starting compound, here 1-propanol and 2-pentanol. Drying is a very important step because if the product is wet, it will have added incorrect water weight. Before drying, first the product must be separated from the organic layer. The reason for applying the reflux
Physical properties of compounds remain an interesting and important area of research since last century. Various physical properties of a compound are depending on vibrations of atoms present in it. Lattice dynamics is considered to be an important tool in studying these atomic vibrations. Lattice dynamical study of a compound gives information about the nature of inter-atomic forces present and helps to understand its bonding and structural properties. Raman and IR spectral studies is an important
Abstract: Different compounds were tested to see their ability to inhibit polyphenol oxidase and prevent the browning from ortho quinones of fruits and vegetables. Five compounds were tested to see which compound produced more brown product and which compound showed higher inhibition. The production of benzoquinone was tested through a 420 nm spectrophotometer. Compounds A and D showed the most inhibition for the production of benzoquinone. Introduction: Many consumers today prefer to purchase
obtain the structural information about the organic and inorganic molecules as it measure easily and quickly the atoms vibrations so in this result we are able to indentify the functional group in a molecule. When it is passed through any of organic compounds some of the radiations are absorbed by the molecules and are appeared as absorption bands while the radiations that are not absorbed are given as transmitted energy. As only those frequencies has the ability to absorb that match with the frequencies
science still stayed separated from inorganic chemistry. Back when Organic chemistry was the chemistry of living matter, Professor Wohler succeeded in synthesizing in the laboratory an organic compound previously observed in living tissue as Urea. Professor Wohler made this organic compound from non-living chemical substance, Ammonium Cyanate. He evaporated a solution of Ammonium Cyanate to produce Urea. Thus rendering the “Vital Force” theory to be with flaws. Other famous experiments proved the vitalism
Neurotransmitters Neurotransmitters are chemicals made by neurons and used by them to transmit signals to the other neurons or non-neuronal cells (e.g., skeletal muscle; myocardium, pineal glandular cells) that they innervate. The neurotransmitters produce their effects by being released into synapses when their neuron of origin fires (i.e., becomes depolarized) and then attaching to receptors in the membrane of the post-synaptic cells. This causes changes in the fluxes of particular ions across
PORTLAND CEMENT Chemical composition. Portland Cement is made up of four main compounds: tricalcium silicate (3CaOSiO2), dicalcium silicate (2CaOSiO2), tricalcium aluminate (3CaOAl2O3), and a tetra-calcium aluminoferrite (4CaO Al2O3Fe2O3). In an abbreviated notation differing from the normal atomic symbols, these compounds are designated as C3S, C2S, C3A, and C4AF, where C stands for calcium oxide (lime), S for silica, A for alumina, and F for iron oxide. Small amounts of uncombined lime and magnesia
discovered in the 1920's by Thomas Midgley, an organic chemist at General Motors Corporation. He was looking for inert, non- toxic, non-flammable compounds with low boiling points that could be used as refrigerants. He found what he was looking for in the form of two compounds: dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC-12) and trichloromonoflouromethane (CFC-11). In both compounds, different amounts of chlorine and fluorine are combined with methane, which is a combination of carbon and hydrogen. These two CFCs were
