Chemistry has been the way of life for millions of years! It helps us develop new concepts of thinking and finding solutions to our problems. Did you know that fire was the first chemical reaction humans learned to use and control? (worldbook.com) Chemistry has helped our world come up with new, advanced technology to benefit us all. Chemistry played a role in developing the periodic table, x-rays, and the telescope. Primarily, the Periodic Table of Elements was primarily thought to be developed
What is love? Not just the emotion and the feelings that a person feels, but what it is exactly. Is it just a feeling that is in a humans' heart? Does love even come from the heart or is it a chemical reaction in the brain that makes a lover think that? When it comes to love there are so many questions that can be asked, but why does love even matter? With a better understanding of love, a partaker of love is better equipped to handle everything that goes with it. With this better understanding a
10,000 BC. The ancient civilizations used technologies that came to become the makeup of the many branches of chemistry. These early civilizations would extract metal from ores, make pottery and glazes, beer and wine fermentation, extraction of chemicals from plants for medicine, making fat into soap, making glass, and many chemistry related tasks were done. Alchemists set the stage for modern chemistry by performing experiments and recording the results. Robert Boyle wrote The Sceptical Chymist
The Effect of Catalyst an the Rate Of Reaction Chemistry Coursework Does The Number of Drops of Catalyst Effect The Rate Of Reaction Candidate Name: Ben Dodds Candidate Number: 7158 School: Oundle School Completion Date: Introduction We are studying the reaction between zinc and sulphuric acid, the reaction is catalysed by copper sulphate and this experiment is to test whether the amount of drops effect the rate of reaction. Word Equation Zinc(s) + Sulphuric acid(aq) à Hydrogen(g) + Zinc
Also known as azane, ammonia is a chemical compound with one nitrogen and three hydrogen atoms that are tightly bonded together; giving it the formula NH3. At room temperature, ammonia exists in a gaseous state with a colourless form and a pungent smell. It boils at -33.34°C and ammonia used for household uses is usually a mixture of ammonia and water. Ammonia provides the right conditions and nutrition that are needed for the growth of terrestrial organisms. Even in commercial products such as pharmaceuticals
INNOVATION OF HYDROTHERMAL SYNTHESIS FRON THE PAST & PRESENT Traditional Hydrothermal Synthesis since the end of the 19th century, hydrothermal synthesis of inorganic materials has been carried out. It is defined as the precipitation of these materials from aqueous solutions at temperatures above the boiling point and at pressures greater than ambient pressure. This method is actually environmentally because it does not require any organics or additional processing such as calcinations. That is
reaction of combusting magnesium. In this lab, the polished magnesium ribbon was placed in covered crucible and was heated in order for it to react with Oxygen presented in air and in water provided. The result showed that Magnesium oxide formed through chemical reaction was made up of 60.19% magnesium and 39.81% oxygen, which is approximate proportion of both particles in every Magnesium oxide compound. From this lab it can be concluded that the law of definite proportion stating that the elements in a
Gravimetry is an old technique which has been used for the determination and recovery of gold ever since its discovery. It is a process that has a minimal room for instrumental error and does not require standards for any calculation of the unknown that is being analyzed. The determination of gold besides gravimetry can either be titrimetry or instrumental, but these techniques requires gold standards for comparison of its results and concerns the determination of gold in small scale or trace amounts
Hamilton’s rival Aaron Burr a U.S senator and future vice president founded the Bank of Manhattan Co. Over the years starting in 1991 many big companies started to merge together creating giant corporations. In 1991 Manufacturers Hanover Corp. merged with Chemical Banking Corp. From then until 2000 many other companies were to merge and in 2000 J.P. Morgan & Co. Incorporated merged with The Chase Manhattan Corp combining four of the largest and oldest money center banking institutions in New York City.
1. a) Copper is formed by metallic bonds. This is because it is formed by a strong attraction between the closely packed positive metal ions and because these are surrounded by delocalised electrons to form outer shells. Due to this, we can also deduce that its structure is a Giant Metallic Lattice, meaning that it has a high melting and boiling point, conducts electricity and is insoluble. Bromine formed by covalent bonds in between two bromine atoms, since bromine is a diatomic element
