Discussion for Experiment 1 (Basic Laboratory Operations and Identification of a compound : Chemical Properties) In the first experiment‚ the precision of instrument was studied by measuring the mass of water for several times. The result shows that the mass measurement of the balance is precise since the masses of water in six trials are somewhat close. The reason that the masses of water in each trial are not identical may come from the high sensitivity of the balance that keep fluctuating due

Lactic Acid Bacteria Amanda Perry Many persons are oblivious to the fact that when they consume certain delicious food products like yogurt‚ buttermilk or cheese‚ they are actually eating live bacterial biomass which has acidified the milk content and contains a mixture of bacterial slime layers. Perhaps it is a blessing that most people are unaware because when most hear the word ‘bacteria‚’ their first thought is of a microscopic unicellular organism that causes various types of diseases especially

for extremist groups within or outside of Swiss borders. The government has taken and will continue to take steps to ensure that Swiss citizens and their property will not become victims of terror. While Switzerland remains perhaps‚ “the only truly neutral nation left in Europe”‚ this does not mean that Switzerland will not take stands where innocent citizens are being subjected (Ritter‚ Karl). Neutrality must not be confused with ignorance. The Swiss government emphasizes that while its responsibility

9.1 Sulphuric Acid Sulphuric Acid is Manufactured in Industry 1. Sulphuric acid‚ H2SO4 is manufactured in industry through Contact Process. 2. The raw materials used are sulphur‚ air and water 3. The Contact process consists of three stages. Stage 1: The production of sulphur dioxide This can be obtained by two methods: 1. Burning of sulphur in dry air in the furnace S + O SO2 2. Burning of metal sulphide such as zinc sulphide or iron(III) sulphide in dry air. 2ZnS

What are trans fatty acids‚ and where do they come from? We’re used to hearing about saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids - which come from animal fats (meat‚ lard‚ dairy products) as well as tropical oils such as coconut and palm oils - raise the levels of LDL cholesterol. Unsaturated fats - which come from vegetable oils - in general‚ do not increase cholesterol levels‚ and may reduce them. Because saturated fatty acids were found to be bad for you a couple decades ago

The Separation of Powers devised by the framers of the Constitution was designed to do one primary thing: to prevent the majority from ruling with an iron fist. Based on their experience‚ the framers shied away from giving any branch of the new government too much power.. This is why they implemented the separation of powers and also the checks and balances system. Three branches are created in the Constitution. The Legislative‚ composed of the House and Senate‚ is set up in Article 1. The Executive

are several purposes to the amino acid lab experiment. One reason is to help us understand the concept of acids and bases and how they interact with one another. Another purpose is to understand what occurs when placed with the existence of buffers. Lastly‚ the experiment is to help us understand the applications of titrations and how it can be used in a real world setting‚ in this case‚ the identification of an amino acid. One must understand that amino acids all have special characteristics
