When the word alcohol is brought up‚ what do you think about? What comes to my mind is parties‚ and what people think they have to drink to have fun. Did you know that over 5‚000 people under the age of 21 die each year from alcohol-related car crashes‚ suicides‚ homicides‚ alcohol poisoning‚ and other injuries such as falls‚ burns‚ and drowning? Alcohol can be a very dangerous substance if not treated correctly and drank responsibly. Alcohol is a form of a drug but unlike the other drug‚ marijuana

________________________________________ Absorption Alcohol is absorbed from all parts of the gastrointestinal tract largely by simple diffusion into the blood. However the small intestine is by far the most efficient region of the gastrointestinal tract for alcohol absorption because of its very large surface area. In a fasting individual‚ it is generally agreed that 10% to 20% of a dose of alcohol is absorbed from the stomach (the volume of alcohol affects the absorption) and 75% to 80% is absorbed

chemistry‚ an alcohol is an organic compound in which the hydroxyl functional group (-OH) is bound to a carbon atom. In particular‚ this carbon center should be saturated‚ having single bonds to three other atoms.[1] An important class of alcohols are the simple acyclic alcohols‚ the general formula for which is CnH2n+1OH. Of those‚ ethanol (C2H5OH) is the type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages‚ and in common speech the word alcohol refers specifically to ethanol. Other alcohols are usually

The two different types of energy are kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy a moving object has because of its motion. The kinetic energy of a moving object depends on the object’s mass and its speed. The kinetic energy of a moving object can be calculated from this equation: Kinetic energy (in joules) = ½ mass (in kg) x [speed (in m/s)]² KE= ½ mv² In this equation ^‚ the symbol v represents speed. Example Find the kinetic energy of the ball having mass 0‚5 kg and

<i>1. State the five assumptions of the Kinetic-Molecular Theory of gases.</i><br><br>a) Gases consist of large numbers of tiny particles. These particles‚ usually molecules or atoms‚ typically occupy a volume about 1000 times larger than occupied by the same number of particles in the liquid or solid state. Thus molecules of gases are much further apart than those of liquids or solids.<br><br>Most of the volume occupied by a gas is empty space. This accounts for the lower density of gases compared

How much alcohol do teens use? Alcohol is the most frequently used drug by teenagers in the United States. About half of junior high and senior high school students drink alcohol on a monthly basis‚ and 14% of teens have been intoxicated at least once in the past year. Nearly 8% of teens who drink say they drink at least five or more alcoholic drinks in a row (binge drink). What are the dangerous effects of alcohol use in teens? Just a few of the many dangerous effects of alcohol use in teens

is green‚ when an alcohol is oxidized by the reagent. A change in color of the reagent from orange to green represents a positive test. Primary alcohols are oxidized by the reagent to carboxylic aicds; secondary alcohols are oxidized to ketones. Tertiary alcohols are not oxidized at all by the reagent. Hence‚ this reaction can be used to distinguish tertiary alcohols form primary and secondary alcohols. Procedures: 1. Place ethanol‚ isopropyl alcohol and tert-butyl alcohol in three different
