Largest Landfill in the World Soon going to the will no longer be a vacation option unless you do not plan to swim. There will probably be a huge amount of plastic and trash in the water. This is due to the Pacific trash vortex. All of the plastic that has accumulated over the years had either eended up in a landfill or in the ocean. It is however‚ more likely that the trash has ended up in the ocean. Trash that people just toss in the water ends up in the ocean. Americans fail to

Using Freezing-Point Depression to Find Molecular Weight Formal Lab Report Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to be able to use the freezing point of a substance to find the molecular weight of it. To do this‚ we will use the Logger Pro program to obtain the freezing point of lauric acid and a solution of benzoic acid and lauric acid. Then‚ we’ll go calculate the freezing point depression of the solution and the molecular weight of benzoic acid. Procedure Summary: Obtain lab goggles

Kinetic Molecular Theory Basic Concepts The gas laws developed by Boyle‚ Charles‚ and Gay-Lussac are based upon empirical observations and describe the behavior of a gas in macroscopic terms‚ that is‚ in terms of properties that a person can directly observe and experience. An alternative approach to understanding the behavior of a gas is to begin with the atomic theory‚ which states that all substances are composed of a large number of very small particles (molecules or atoms). In principle‚ the

If you have ever considered losing weight‚ you have probably heard of the various kinds of diet pills available. Diet pills claim to "melt away the fat." They sound like the perfect solution to shed a few pounds‚ but research tells a different story. Diet pills became popular in 1996. The most common ingredients were Redux and fenfluramin/phentermine‚ which posed as appetite suppressants. The pills seemed to suck up the fat‚ and people were losing anywhere between 25-50 pounds in months. The FDA

NaOH(s) ---> Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) + heat Reaction 2: The reaction of solid sodium hydroxide with dilute hydrochloric acid. NaOH(s) + H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) ---> Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) + H2O Reaction 3: The reaction of sodium hydroxide solution with dilute hydrochloric acid solution. Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) + H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) --->

arena. I had my first glimpse at molecular biology then. But that brief introduction to molecular biology was enough to compel me to the idea that I want to spend my whole life working and conducting research on it. That passion and zeal brought me to where right now I am. I have successfully completed my masters from the Department of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology‚ University of Dhaka. I want to note that very few universities offer courses related to molecular biology here in Bangladesh but

INTRODUCTION Sodium hypochlorite is considered one of the most efficient irrigant in endodontics 1-4. Due to its antimicrobial‚ tissue dissolving properties and low cost‚ it is one of the most widely accepted irrigant in Endodontic practice 5-8. Sodium hypochlorite as a solution is relatively an unstable compound. On exposure to organic compounds‚ heat‚ light‚ air and metals‚ the available chlorine ions reduce and there is subsequent loss of tissue dissolving and antimicrobial properties 9-10. Recent

Griffith 1920s did experiments with Streptococcus pneumoniae (p294 fig16.2) a. took two strains of S. pneumoniae‚ one virulent‚ one not b. heat killed virulent strain‚ then mixed them with the living nonvirulent strain c. living nonvirulent strain became virulent d. nonvirulent strain took on virulent strain’s DNA became virulent
