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

9/19/2012 Experiment #1-Density Aim: Learn how the process of distillation occurs. Observe how distillation separates alcohol from wine. Method: Distillation is based on the fact that the matter can exist in three phases - - solid‚ liquid and gas. As the temperature of a pure substance is increased‚ it passes through these phases‚ making a transition at a specific temperature from solid to liquid (melting point--mp) and then at a higher temperature from liquid to gas (boiling point--bp). Distillation

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
