Nickel is one of the most important elements on the periodic table. It has plenty of history‚ as well as a huge importance to society. Its has unique chemical‚ physical‚ and geological properties. Nickel is used commercially in abundance‚ as it is used anywhere from simple art products such as ceramics to complex structures such as tubing for desalination plants. It is even used in the American five-cent coin‚ the "nickel".<br><br>Nickel was discovered by Axel Fredrik Cronstedt‚ in Sweden‚ during

Dividend Policy of Indian Corporate Firms: An Analysis of Trends and Determinants Dr. Y. Subba Reddy1 The present study examines the dividend behavior of Indian corporate firms over the period 1990 – 2001 and attempts to explain the observed behavior with the help of trade-off theory‚ and signaling hypothesis. Analysis of dividend trends for a large sample of stocks traded on the NSE and BSE indicate that the percentage of companies paying dividends has declined from 60.5 percent in 1990 to 32.1

Introduction The reaction rate of a chemical reaction is determined as the change in the concentration of a reactant or product over the change in time. [1] The rate of a reaction is determined by experiment. Many factors influence the rate of a reaction: the nature of the reaction‚ concentration‚ pressure‚ temperature‚ and surface area‚ presence of catalyst and intensity of light. [2] For a chemical reaction‚ the rate law or rate equation is a mathematical expressed equation that links the reaction

Summer Mitchell 10/04/13 Analysis and Conclusion 1. Why was the water tested for each of the initial chemical tests? The water was tested for each initial chemical test because it served as the controlled variable. Since water is pure oxygen and hydrogen unlike Glucose and Starch‚ one variable may be observed. 2. Biuret reagent will turn your skin brownish-purple. Explain why this occurs. Biuret reagent will turn your skin a brownish-purple because Iodine detects protein in a substance

Eggs are a key ingredient used to make a foam. Investigate the functional and chemical properties of eggs and other ingredients when making meringue. Chemical and Functional properties of eggs: Background information Eggs give a smoother texture to microwaveable dishes‚ frozen dishes are better to freeze. The yolk and the egg white cam be used in many different ways for different products of food. Eggs contain a lot of protein and a balance of other nutrition. Some producers require fresh eggs to

Lab Report Experiment #3 Chemical Aspects of Life The objective of the Reducing Sugar Test was to test if the substance has a reducing sugar in it by adding Benedict’s solution and heating it‚ there would be a color change if a reducing sugar is present‚ or it will remain blue (no reducing sugar). The objective of the Starch test was to test for starch in substances by using Iodine. The iodine will cause a substance to turn to a dark blue color if it is positive for starch. The objective for

This experimental procedure uses compounds from spinach leaves that are exposed to chromatography‚ TLC plate to indicate the different pigments within the spinach extract. ‘Column chromatography in chemistry is a method used to purify individual chemical compounds from mixtures of compounds’ (Wikipedia‚ 2011). This method is similar to thin layer chromatography‚ but the compounds in the mixture are collected separately. Green dye is used in this experiment that consists of blue and yellow constituents

INTRODUCTION Sugar is one of the main food items consumed in Sri Lanka. The annual per capita consumption of sugar in Sri Lanka is around 30 kg and the total annual requirement of sugar in the country is around 550‚000t. But‚ only about 50‚000 t are produced locally. In a year only 38‚000 t were produced. The balance requirement has to be imported. The total annual expenditure on sugar imports is around Rs. 20 billion. Sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum) is the only crop cultivated in Sri Lanka
