Chemistry

As a contemporary writer observing the timeline of modern science, and all the abridgments made to it over the past few centuries, one cannot help but ponder upon the course that science took to reach what it is today. We are aware of the pioneers of science such as Newton, Lavoisier, Stahl, Joule, Maxwell, Einstein etc, and all of the groundbreaking contributions these extraordinary individuals made to mould science into what we today know it to be. Over the course of History of Science, we have

There are exceptions to conducting this test. For example, non-reducing sugars such as sucrose cannot be detected using the Benedict’s test (Mrothery, 2004). In order for non-reducing sugars to be tested with a Benedict reagent, hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) must be placed into the solution before adding a Benedict reagent (Mrothery, 2004). As a result, sucrose (C12H22O11), made up of two monosaccharides or two carbonyl carbons, is hydrolysed and broken down its glyosidic bond

public. Despite its harsh reputation, flatulence is normal, and everyone experiences it throughout his or her daily lives. Flatulence is directly related to the world of chemistry, both involving chemical reactions and gas laws. In the end, while flatulence might be the cause of smelly situations, it also shows that chemistry is not limited to the laboratory, it is seen throughout the world, even in the human body. When people think of flatulence, they are often unaware that everything in the

During my time as a TA, I performed all the tasks that were assigned to me such as working for one year in the Chemistry Lab, and participating as a Volunteer in one of the World Diabetes Days. These duties made me realize, evaluate, and develop my interest in the field which has ultimately helped me gain a wider understanding to further evolve my passion for Chemistry. My ambition for Science and education is limitless as my short-term goal is to achieve a Master's Degree in Biochemistry

Morrison, Haley Chemistry, Period 5 Due Date: November 17, 2017 Every 4th of July, many people go out at night and spend hours watching firework shows. Most of us are content to simply enjoy the pretty colors and sparks, without questioning the chemistry behind the spectacle, but have you ever really thought about how fireworks produce such vibrant colors? The colors emitted when a firework explodes come from an aerial shell inside the firework that contains explosive chemicals and metallic salts

the sociological interactions in the organic chemistry teaching lab, I noticed something puzzling about the lab. There were fewer female students taking the upper level chemistry classes than male students. This was an interesting observation because as a female student studying Materials Science and Chemistry, I wanted to figure out the reason behind this phenomenon. I personally changed my major from Biological Sciences to Materials Science and Chemistry because I felt more confident and enjoyment

back to 1988 journal contributions by Wächtershäuser [10,15] who hypothesized that iron sulfide chemistry under hydrothermal conditions played a central role in prebiotic chemistry (i.e., the ironsulfur world). The hypothesis rests on the notion that the oxidation of FeS to form pyrite in hydrothermal submarine vent conditions provided the electrochemical power for the reduction of CO2 to organic molecules. The ``pyrite-pulled [11]'' reaction as proposed by Wächtershäuser was as follows [10,15]:

how my interest in the general branch of studies known as science grew in my time at Blackfoot high school. I started getting interested in science from a young age when i would listen to my brother tell my mom and dad about what he had learned in chemistry that day. I was fascinated by the fact that there was a way to explain everything that has happened or will happen in the universe can be explained. I was fascinated to learn that such phenomena as the sun and explosions can be broken down into a

Chemistry of Lip Balm Lip balm an everyday tool practically everyone uses. Lip balm such an easy concept to look over and not think twice about. However, theres so much more to lip balm that’s not just “that stuff the helps your lips”. Some information about lip balm that no one knows is that lip balm started in the early 1880s. Lip balm was first made with candle wax. Eventually, it came this wax that helps contain the water on your lips and keep them from getting chapped. Some questions that

The periodic table shows the classification of elements. It shows the elements’ atomic numbers, masses, and symbols for each element. Elements are placed into rows and columns. The rows are called periods, and the columns are called groups. These help classify where the elements go on the periodic table. For example, the elements in the very last group on the periodic table are known as inert and noble gases. The modern periodic table resulted from trial, error, and succession. As more elements
