Diamond Chemicals PLC (A): The Merseyside Project Late one afternoon in January 2001‚ Frank Greystock told Lucy Morris‚ “No one seems satisfied with the analysis so far‚ but the suggested changes could kill the project. If solid projects like this can’t swim past the corporate piranhas‚ the company will never modernize.” Morris was plant manager of Diamond Chemicals’ Merseyside Works in Liverpool‚ England. Her controller‚ Frank Greystock‚ was discussing a capital project that she wanted to propose

Classes of Chemical Reactions Whenever a reaction takes place‚ energy is changed as well when the substances react chemically. Scientists have taken these changes in energy and generalized them. Scientists can take these generalizations and discover more about the nature and tendencies of matter. In this lab‚ the purpose was to perform seven reactions‚ write down their equations‚ and identify the type of reaction. In this lab report‚ several methods of displaying this information will be applied

Classifying Chemical Reactions Introduction Pre-lab questions 1. Which reactants used in this experiment are flammable? Discuss the safety precautions that are necessary when working with flammable materials in the lab? 2. Summarize the following description of a chemical reaction in the form of a balanced chemical equation? 3. Common observations of a chemical reaction are described in the introduction section. For each observation‚ name a common or everyday occurrence that must involve a chemical reaction

Purpose: Determine the empirical formula of magnesium oxide from the percent composition (this can found using the Analytical Method and the Synthesis Method). 2. Introduction: In the late eighteenth century‚ combustion has been studied extensively. In fact‚ according to Steven and Susan Zumdahl‚ Antoine Lavoisier‚ a French Chemist‚ performed thousands of combustion experiments

chemically convert the substance into nutrients. It usually involves mechanical manipulation and chemical action. Mechanical Digestion What is it? This type of digestion involves the mixing‚ grinding or crushing of large pieces of food into smaller places. Why does it take place? So that the food we consume is broken down into smaller pieces before we swallow it which in turn makes process of chemical digestion that takes place later on more effective because it works more efficiently on

the rate of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.” Chemical equilibrium is the state of constant composition attained when opposing reaction rates become equal. There is an essential relationship between reaction rates and chemical equilibrium‚ one that we can describe quantitatively. At first thought‚ the connection may seem obscure - do we not need to be far from equilibrium to properly measure reaction rates? The dynamic nature of chemical equilibrium means that both forward and reverse reactions
