If We Had Known About Green Chemistry In 1951‚ How Would Things Be Different Today? Green Chemistry is the making of chemical products that reduces or eliminates the use and production of hazardous substances in the designing‚ making‚ and use of chemical products. It involves the designing and re-designing of chemical creation and chemical products to prevent pollution which will therefore solve environmental problems. Green Chemistry is environmentally safe and has very little side effects on

It takes a period of 20 years for the Prunus Africana to grow to 30 meters or more. That is one reason there are only a limited number of Prunus Africana found in Kenya‚ Uganda‚ and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The extraction of pulverized‚ dark bark of Prunus Africana is the reason for high demand on these trees for production of drugs for prostate issues. The Prunus Africana is currently being harvested out of eastern highlands of Kenya in the Aberdares Mountains

extracts of Mangifera indica L. leaves The aqueous methanol extracts obtained from mango leaves inhibited seed germination of radish and sand fescue‚ and inhibited seedling growth of root and shoot growth of radish‚ rapeseed‚ sand fescue and crabgrass (Figure 1 and 2). The extract obtained from 0.03 g dry weight of mango leaves inhibited 20 and 50 % germination of radish and sand fescue respectively‚ on day 4 (Figure 2). The extract obtained from 0.03 g dry weight of mango leaves inhibited the root growth

Extraction of Caffeine from Lipton® Tea Leaves Nathaniel Camangon*‚ Kaila Bumagat‚ Franz Mari Burgos‚ Remigio Callanta Department of Chemistry‚ College of Science‚ University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines Abstract This experiment mainly focuses on the extraction of pure caffeine by multiple extraction from commercially acquired tea leaves and determining its purity by melting point determination. A 0.02% yield of pure caffeine was obtained from 10.4978g of tea leaves (4 tea bags).

Photosynthesis Green plants absorb light energy using chlorophyll in their leaves. They use it to react carbon dioxide with water to make a sugar called glucose. The glucose is used in respiration‚ or converted into starch and stored. Oxygen is produced as a by-product. The equation for photosynthesis: Carbon Dioxide + Water (+ Light Energy) → Glucose + Oxygen Symbol equation: 6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/science/add_aqa_pre_2011/plants/plants1

home in Ayr. For completion of graded unit project I have selected a client who has a permanent colostomy and an attachment of colostomy bag at the site. A colostomy means a surgical opening into the colon. This project includes three stages called planning‚ development and evaluation of a practical activity where I will change a colostomy bag.This client is of 78 years old lady who has been cared for last six months and was transferred from Ayr General Hospital. Due to permanent colostomy bag attachment

Chemistry 12 Unit 2 Notes - Equilibrium Chemistry 12 Tutorial 5 – The Equilibrium Constant (Keq) What is Keq ? The "K" in Keq stands for "Constant". The "eq" means that the reaction is at equilibrium. Very roughly‚ Keq tells you the ratio of Products/Reactants for a given reaction at equilibrium at a certain temperature. [Products] [Reactants] K eq = It’s not quite this simple when we deal with real substances. Let’s take an example. It has been found for the reaction: 2HI(g )
