Write the symbols for the six elements you named in question 4. • Solids: Al and Cu • Liquids: Hg and Br • Gases: H and N 6. Name four kinds of energy. • Light • Heat • Electric • Mechanical 7. Is it possible to have a mixture of two elements and also to have a compound of the same two elements? Explain. Can you think of an example? _Yes, it is. Water with H2O as its chemical formulas is a good example for this situation. It consists of Hydrogen and Oxygen. 8. Is the tea in tea bags a pure substance? Use the process of making tea to make an argument for your answer. How would your argument apply to instant tea? _The tea in a tea bag is mixed with other water-soluble substances like artificial flavors, so when we put the instant tea bag and dissolve it in hot water, we will have a hot, delicious, “homogenous” tea. 9. a. How many milligrams are there in 1 gram? 1 gram= 1000 milligrams b. How many meters are there in 1 kilometer? 1 likometer= 1000 meters c. How many centigrams are there in 1 gram? 1 gram= 100 centigrams 10. Which of the following quantities is a density? (hint check your units!) c. 1.5 g/ml 11. A computer has 60 gigabyte hard drive. How many bytes is this? 60 gigabytes x (109 bytes/ 1gigabyte) = 6.0 x 1010
* Protons and electrons have equal and opposite electrical charges. Protons are positively charged, and electrons are negatively charged.
The gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) is a highly disruptive species that can, and has played a distinctive role in the lives of many organisms. Included in these organisms are various deciduous trees and shrubs, wildlife species that share the same environment, and even humans. The gypsy moth destroys the beauty of woodlands via defoliation, alters ecosystems and wildlife habitats, and disrupts our own lives. It should therefore come as no surprise that the U.S. Department of Agriculture and many other agencies have taken huge steps to help diminish populations of this small, yet persistent species. In an effort to control these overwhelming populations, five chemical control agents have
A chemical equation demonstrates the quantity of atoms of every component that make up the compound. The atomic proportion of components in the compound is the same as the molar proportion of those components. This information can be applied to solve for the mass of one mole of a compound by including the molar masses of the constituent components.
Amdro Powerflex Home Pest Indoor Insect Killer is sold by AMBRANDs out of Georgia. It is of the Pyrethroid Pesticide chemical family. Some of the ingredients are Zeta-cypermethrin and a “proprietary surfectant blend”. The product is composed of 0.35% zeta-cypermethrin, <2% of the surfectant, with the rest assumed to be water. Although the company does not disclose the proprietary surfectant, the zeta-cypermethrin is described in detail in the MSDS available on the companies web-site.(Zeta-cypermethrin)
If it were a chemical property, bonds would break: the the makeup of the material would change, but that was not the case. The iron in our lab stayed the same. 5. The combination of salt and sand is a mixture. It is a physical combination with no fixed ratio.
In the late sixteenth- century Europe adopted a caffeinated warm drink for the first time this included chocolate, tea and coffee. Tea fills the senses with a bittersweet scent. This herb came from china by ship. Unlike cider and beer tea was new to the English-speaking world (49). Starting in the eighteenth- century Europe trading companies began to market green and black tea (51). Before this time period tea was very rare in the west region of British north America. Only the wealthy could originally afford tea and sugar. Tea was also used as a source of herbal medicine rather than traditional methods. This herb was also expensive because it shipped across great distances and allowed the East India Company to charge higher prices and labor added an extra charge. This resulted in tea becoming a luxury item in the colonies (53). The Townshend’s act in 1767 put a tax on tea which Americans responded that parliament could not tax without their consent. This frustrated the colonist because it put their love for tea at risk, so they responded to parliament by aiming at British merchants and manufactures
Since we obtain an unknown proportion of a mixture, it’s important to mention that a mixture is a result of a combination of two or more pure substances that do not react chemically. The physical properties of a mixture depend on its composition because the amounts of each substance making up a mixture can vary. By taking advantage of the unique physical properties of individual components within a mixture, it should be possible to separate a mixture into its components. Mixtures have the following fundamental properties:
A pure substance is an element or compound with a constant composition, such as salt. Its components stay in a fixed ratio to each other, and they can only be separated by relatively difficult chemical means. A mixture is a physical combination of pure substances. Their compositions vary and it is easy to physically separate them. Mixtures can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous.
Americans get a lot of bug bites during the summer. Many have been wondering how to go the whole summer without getting bitten. This report will explore good ways to repel insects. Is natural bug repellant better than bug spray? Is DEET really a terrible option for bug repellant?
PEST is an acronym used for companies with in the political, economic, social and technological views. PEST allows companies to view and observe certain areas that might have been overlooked. The company I will be discussing the PEST analysis is Target. Target is a large scale company and is constantly changing in the industry. The political views of Target is that they must have an unbreakable bond with China due to majority of its products coming from that country. They must be aware and stray away from any conflicts because it can create a negative affect in the operation of Target. Also the company is altered by taxation, tariffs, cost, and trade restrictions especially when they're trying to broden outside the United States. The economic
Figure 1 illustrates the effects of four insecticides on adult crickets at four different concentrations over the span of 24 hours. Taking the average of all the dead crickets at each concentration, dividing by five, and multiplying by 100 found the % response. The probit number was found from the % response number. Taking the probit number, diving by 10, and multiplying by 100 found the % probit response, which is shown on the y-axis. The log of the four concentrations used represents the log dose on the x-axis.
three substances formed in like manner by the violence of fire comes into one mixture,
The beneficial use on the chemical for insecticide that is highly toxic can vary on insects. For example, the predatory vedalia lady beetles and it use can cause dramatic increases in cottony cushion scale populations. Also, when you apply to soil the treatment can be absorb up into the plants for example flowers. When the flower absorbs this chemical, it will injure it or kill in the process the bees and other pollinators and beneficial insects. The imidacloprid is used to control sucking insects, some chewing insects including termites, soil insects, and fleas on pets. In addition to its topical use on pets. Other way you can apply imidacloprid to structures, crops, soil, and as a seed treatment. Uses for individual products containing imidacloprid
Relevance: This is relevant to everyone because tea has a lot of positive health outcomes, that are beneficial to all of us.
Chen Zongmao’s book supports the whole view of my research paper. It introduces the development of tea in different historic stages, and especially focuses on the culture of tea in different time. Moreover, it states Chinese tea from all the aspects such as tea’s category, how to drink tea, how to plant etc. This book is like a tea Encyclopedia that le
