How to Make Kool-Aid Making Kool-Aid is easy and convenient. Many people use it for parties and just to drink at home. It is not hard to make the Kool-Aid. All one needs to do is just gather ingredients and follow the instructions. Correct ingredients, accurate preparation, and preforming processes are the three things needed to make Kool-Aid right every time. The ingredients someone would need are a pitcher large enough to hold at least half- gallon of water. The next thing will be your

This year I went on a field trip to the Conodoguinet Creek. This creek runs into the Susquehanna River and drains 500 square miles of diverse landscapes. Conodoguinet comes from an indian word meaning “a long way with many bends.” It begins near Carlisle at North Middleton Park and comes to an end in West Fairview, when it flows into the Susquehanna River. The Conodoguinet Creek is about 90 miles of bends and loops that meander throughout Cumberland Valley. When I went on this trip, I tested

Chamber Take the stainless steel wire and measure out a piece that is 21 cm. Make two. Bend the wires such that it hooks around the edge of the plastic box and is parallel to the width of the box. Figure 1. Each stainless steel wire is bent such that it can hook over the edge of the box Connect the five 9V batteries together so the positive terminal of one battery connects to the negative terminal of another battery. Once all five batteries are connected there should be positive and negative

Maureen Dix Chem 245-002 Yang 4/13/17 Short Paper #2: Oxidation of 4-nitrobenzyl alcohol To begin the oxidation reaction, first prepare the oxidant that will be used. To make the oxidant combine 390 mg of each of the following compounds: activated 4Ǻ molecular sieve, PCC, and anhydrous sodium acetate. This mixture should be grinded into a powder using a mortar and pestle. Once the oxidant is made the reaction can take place. Obtain a clean, dry 5mL conical vial with a spin vane. Add 1.17 g of the

In this experiment, methyl benzoate was synthesized from benzoic acid and methanol with acid catalyze using Fisher Esterification. First benzoic acid and methanol were mixed in 100 mL round bottom flask. We cooled the mixture in ice and poured 3 mL of conc. H2SO4 and swirled to mix compounds. Then we refluxed the mixture for 1 hour. We let the solution cool and then decanted into a separatory funnel containing 50 mL of water and rinsed the round bottom flask with 35 mL of tert-butyl methyl ether

Archimedes was requested to check for the presence of silver in the king’s gold crown. Archimedes came up with the idea to get the solution as from when he was going to take a bath. Archimedes had stepped into his bathtub that was filled with water and caused it to overflow. Archimedes filled a bathtub with water to the brim with pure gold at the equal weight of the king’s crown. He then removed the gold and placed the kings actual crown into the bathtub. Archimedes knew that if there were traces

microbial damage5. Proteins will break down into polypeptides, amino acids, peptones, and proteoses5. The sulfur containing amino acids will further be decomposed and yield sulfide products5. Under anaerobic conditions, the product is not further transformed, but under aerobic conditions, it will disappear and become oxidized to sulfate through a series of steps5. When proteins undergo proteolysis, most of the soil microbes use the amino acids for energy, except for nitrogen5. Nitrogen is converted to ammonia

You Can Still Swim! Alternative Options for Those with a Chlorine Allergy Pools with chlorine can cause temporary and long term health problems. Additionally, chlorine can cause reddening of the eyes, irritate and even burn skin. Individuals with a chlorine allergy are especially at risk for experiencing negative health effects. Fortunately, there is an alternative to chlorine that is becoming increasingly popular and has many benefits. The Dangers of Chlorine Even for individuals who are not

Pool shock contains calcium hypochlorite while common household bleach contains sodium hypochlorite. “Chlorine shock basically involves raising the chlorine to very high levels in order to destroy any contaminants in the water” (“How Often Should I Shock My Pool?”). To explain, the products being utilized in this experiment both contain chlorine. Keeping this in mind, household bleach can possibly be a good alternative for cleaning a contaminated pool, if this experiment shows results in favor. For

pH Titration Experiment #3 Joseph Dupars Partner: Logan Martz Chemistry 113, Section 2 October 23, 2014   I. Introduction In this experiment the acetic acid concentration in a sample of Great Value distilled white vinegar, 5% acidity, will be determined in weight percentage and in molarity. The concentration of phosphoric acid in the Unknown solution numbered 86 will also be determined. The equilibrium constants will also be determined for both. II. Experimental To determine the concentrations
