Curium is highly radioactive. As a metal‚ it is lustrous and silvery. It is malleable‚ chemically reactive and electropositive. Its surface rapidly oxidizes in air‚ gaining a thin film. Most compounds of trivalent curium are stable and faintly yellow or yellow-green. If absorbed in to the body‚ curium accumulates in the bones. Its radiation destroys red blood cell formation. Consequently‚ curium is considered very toxic. Large quantities of curium are now easily made in nuclear reactors. A nuclear

Lab 5 Column Chromatography: Isolation of Lycopene from Tomato Paste Reading: Zubrick‚ pages 79-82‚ 127-130‚ 138-139‚ 141-143‚ and 235-240 Pre-lab: look up the structure of lycopene. Introduction: Lycopene is the red pigment in ripe tomatoes and‚ as an antioxidant‚ helps to fight certain cancers. In this lab you will isolate lycopene from tomato paste. To do this you will first extract carotenoid pigments from the paste and then use column chromatography to isolate the lycopene from

Alpha amylase is an enzyme that aids in the breakdown of starch and glycogen to form glucose and maltose through the hydrolyses of alpha linked polysaccharides1. Starch is a complex carbon and is the main energy storage material found in plants and some bacteria. It is a major component of food as it supplies plants with energy and carbon. Starch consists of two types of polysaccharides called amylose and amylopectin1.The properties of starch can depend on the number of alpha 1‚4 glycosidic bonds

From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia For other uses‚ see Instress (disambiguation). Instress is a concept about individuality and uniqueness derived by Gerard Manley Hopkins from the ideas of the medieval philosopher Duns Scotus.[1] [Hopkins] felt that everything in the universe was characterized by what he called inscape‚ the distinctive design that constitutes individual identity. This identity is not static but dynamic. Each being in the universe ’selves‚’ that is‚ enacts its identity. And

Lecture 12 Chapter 6 6.1 Thermochemistry: Energy & units (p.227) From observation we know‚ that - some chemical reactions begin as soon as the reactants come into contact with each other (precipitation reactions) - some reactions are slow or even so slow at room temperature that even lifetime is not enough to observe a measurable change (rusting of iron‚ tarnishing silver) Also‚ almost all chemical reactions involve exchange of heat (or energy): in combustion reactions
