Celsius. It has a white/silvery appearance, almost like a mirror. It has a high surface tension but is a bad conductor of heat. Mercury has 34 isotopes and 7 stable isotopes. Mining and production: Mercury is found in its ore cinnabar (Mercury sulfite). To extract the Mercury from the ore, the ore is ground up and neatest to around 580 degrees Celsius. The Mercury vapour then escapes from the ores and the Sulfur dioxide is removed. The Mercury is then condensed and washed with nitric acid to purify
Ancestry Iodine was discovered by Bernard Courtois, a French scientist, in 1811. Courtois was extracting sodium and potassium compounds from seaweed ash, and when the compounds were removed, sulfuric acid was added to further process the ash. After too much acid was added my mistake, a violet colored cloud erupted from the mass. Solid Iodine was then created when the gas from the eruption condensed on metal objects in the room. The initial plan for this element was to be used against humans to kill
Does the Food and Drug Administration Regulate Enough? As children, we rarely look at the back of our chocolate bar or care what elements are in the french fries we indulge in. Whilst getting older, we become more conscious of what is going into our food, and what we put in our bodies. We are more aware of the places that we go to eat, and are constantly looking at reviews. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a government federal agency whose purpose is to ensure our safety as consumers. There
to grow some bacteria. After a few days you collect bacteria and let it grow after 2 days it will have a little bit of bacteria colonies. When we were waiting for our bacteria to grow we made a microbial mat in the microbial mat we have calcium sulfite kimwipe tissue as a carbon source nex,t some sand, pond mystery mix, water, and some cyanobacteria. That was all we did in lesson
the other, which one would you pick? Whenever something is organic, everyone believes that its healthy but not all organic things are as healthy as they seem to always be portrayed. Some cons organic wine has is that organic wine does not contain sulfite, which people claim reduces its shelf life and in some cases changes its flavors ("Clearing up the Confusion about Organic Wine”). Organic wine also brings a much more healthier option to the table and it has also become more popular in recent years
our society. Whenever something is organic, everyone believes that it’s healthy, but that is not the case, not all organic things are as healthy as they are portrayed to be. Some negatives of organic wine are that organic wine does not contain sulfite, which people claim it reduces its shelf life and in some cases changes its flavors ("Clearing up the Confusion about Organic Wine”). Organic wine also brings a much healthier option to the table; in recent years it has become more popular throughout
What is Organic Sulfur and Why it is Important? Organic Sulfur is also known as methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), has a long history as a therapeutic mineral for a wide variety of ailments. It is the third most abundant mineral in the human body and is absolutely essential for health. It is found in the cells of all living organisms and plays a critical role in the oxygenation and detoxification of all cells. Unfortunately, we don’t hear sulfur being mentioned very often, is all but forgotten as a critical
1.3 Etiology and risk factors: There are different heterogeneous phenotypes for asthma that vary in presentation, pathophysiology and etiology. The risk factors for each recognized phenotype of asthma include genetic, host, environmental factors and family history.[23] Factors that can contribute to asthma or airway hyperreactivity may include any of the following: 1- Environmental allergens: (e.g., house dust mites, animal allergens, especially cat and dog, cockroach allergens and fungi)
The world’s future metal, Zinc. Half of the world's top ten worst pollution problems are mining related. This report will investigate the extraction processes of high demand metals, such as zinc, iron and aluminium, and the energy demands, chemical processes and costs of each metal. It will also discuss which metal is the most environmentally healthy, and find possible alternative extraction techniques. Zinc Zinc is used in many everyday objects, such as batteries. Zinc uses two main methods to
reaction but they all involve two colourless solutions being mixed and after a specific period of time, the mixed solutions turn dark blue. The iodate variation of the clock reaction involves the reaction between iodate ions. These being, IO3-, hydrogen sulfite ions, HSO3-, and hydronium ions, H+. To ensure the blue colour change, starch is needed to be added to the solution, reacting with I2. The delay in colour change occurs because as soon as I2 is formed, it immediately reacts with any HSO3- still present
