After watching the Amistad movie‚ I had a better understanding about what happened in 1839 on the Amistad ship. The movie described the story of the slaves’ rebellion on the Amistad ship while sailing from Cuba to America. Then‚ they were imprisoned in Connecticut and their case became a heated subject at that time. Spielberg‚ the movie director‚ did an amazing job showing the horrors of the Atlantic Slave Trade. In my opinion‚ the Amistad movie is historically accurate due to its true illustration

Abstract: Enzymes are part of human’s everyday lives and improve the quality of living. Enzymes decrease activation energy which pertains to how much energy is needed for chemical reactions to take place. Enzymes also known as catalysts is one of the main factors in producing energy in individual’s bodies. The experiment conducted was to test how different temperatures effected the catabolizing of fungal and bacterial amylase‚ as well as the optimal temperature needed for the enzyme to correlate

Abstract:The Wittig Reaction is a nucleophilic addition in which an alkene is formed as a product. Both the E and Z isomers of the alkene result. Substituents on the aromatic aldehyde affect the E/Z ratio of products that form. In this experiment‚ a nitro group was used as the substituent in the ortho‚ meta and para positions‚ with benzaldehyde as the control. Each of the four aldehydes reacted with (carbethoxymethylene) triphenylphosphorane to produce ethyl cinnamate‚ ethyl-3-(2-nitrophenyl)acrylate

An Investigation into the Factors Affecting the Rate of the Reaction between Calcium Carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid A chemical reaction is the process by which atoms or groups of atoms are redistributed‚ resulting in a change in the molecular composition of substances. The reaction rate is how quickly a reaction occurs and this can be affected by four different factors: ¡¤ changing the surface area of any solids involved ¡¤ changing the concentration of reactants in solution ¡¤ changing the temperature

Write down the aim of your Investigation. To investigate the effects of change in concentration on the rate of reaction between Sodium Thiosulphate and Hydrochloric Acid. Briefly describe your Preliminary Experiment and include your results. Explain how these results have helped you plan your main experiment (p8b). An increase in concentration will lead to an increase in the rate of reaction because there will be a greater number of particles per unit/cm3. The particles will be closer together and
