decided that I must know all I can about blood cancer. I had so many questions that I needed answers such as whether this disease was genetically inherited or not. I also wanted to know why blood cancer killed people so quickly. Therefore‚ I made my goal to ensure that I must become an expert in the field of laboratory science after graduating from high school. In my opinion‚ this was the best way to get answers to the many questions I had about blood cancer. I knew that achieving the required grade

A. Role of Chemistry in Society Applications of chemical science have contributed significantly to the advancement of human civilization (1‚ 2‚ 3). With a growing understanding and ability to manipulate chemical molecules‚ the post-World War II chemist was considered a societal problem solver. They synthesized crop-enhancing agricultural chemicals to ensure a constant and viable food supply. They played a significant role in the eradication of deadly diseases by developing life-saving pharmaceuticals

Chemistry and Society CHM/110 Xavier Villarreal November 6‚ 2011 Chemistry is a vast quantity of a person’s everyday life. A person can find chemistry in his or her daily life in the foods that a person eats‚ air a person breathes‚ soap‚ and accurately everything a person comes in contact with. Chemistry is significant in everyday life because chemicals make up everything in life. For example‚ a person’s body‚ pet‚ a desk‚ the sun‚ food‚ and drugs a person may take‚ to name a few. A person

CHM 256: BASIC ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY TUTORIAL 1: INTRODUCTION: ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY 1. What is chemical analysis? 2. Differentiate between qualitative and quantitative analysis (Oct 2008‚ 2009‚ Dec 2009‚ Apr 2010) 3. Give 7 steps in performing any chemical analysis (Apr 2010) 4. Briefly explain how to prepare the following solutions: a) 1.0 L 10.50 % (w/v) aqueous CH3CH2CH2OH (answer : 105 g) (Oct 2006‚ Oct 2007‚ Oct 2008) b) 500 mL 2.0 M H2SO4 from a commercial reagent‚ at 90% (w/w) purity

Lab: Flame Test Purpose: to determine the ID of 2 unknown substances Background Information: Every atom consists of a nucleus with tiny electrons whizzing around it. The further away from the nucleus they are‚ the more energy the electrons have. If a metal atom is heated‚ the electrons get enough energy to jump higher away from the nucleus‚ they become “excited”. When they fall back closer to the nucleus (back to their ground state)‚ they give off this extra energy as light. Why is the

Philip Pachade AP Physics B Energy Conservation Lab 3/8/2014 Preamble After recently finishing up a take home test on the topics of energy conservation we were given an energy conservation lab for a deeper and more intricate analysis of the law of the conservation of energy. As previously mentioned by many physicists the law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed‚ but it can

AP Biology Lab Four: Plant Pigments and Photosynthesis Abstract: The purpose of this lab is to separate and identify pigments and other molecules within plant cells by a process called chromatography. We will also be measuring the rate of photosynthesis in isolated chloroplasts. Beta carotene‚ the most abundant carotene in plants‚ is carried along near the solvent front because it is very soluble in the solvent being used and because it forms no hydrogen bonds with cellulose. Xanthophyll is found

Experiment 9 : The effect of substrate concentration on enzyme activity Objective To find out the relationship between the substrate concentration and the rate of reaction by determining the number of bubbles produce Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a by-product of biochemical metabolism. An accumulation of hydrogen peroxide can be deadly‚ so it has to be decomposed. One of the decomposing factors is an enzyme called Catalase. Catalase breaks hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The chemical

Properties of Different Bonds An ionic compound forms from a nonmetal and metal element. A covalent compound is formed by two non metal elements. A metallic compound is formed by two metal elements. Metallic compounds have generally high melting points‚ are loose and flexible with their electrons‚ conduct electricity well‚ and have low solubility in water. Ionic compounds are generally crystals‚ have a high melting point‚ and usually have high solubility in water and conduct electricity well when
