Clostridium difficile represents one of the most common and challenging nosocomial infections that can cause life-threatening complications such as hypervolemia‚ sepsis‚ pain‚ and peritonitis (Grossman and Mager 155). The recognition‚ diagnosis‚ treatment and inhibition

Chemistry Coursework Section 1 Aims: I aim to find out the order of reaction with respect to [H2O2] and [2I-]. I aim to find out the activation enthalpy of the reaction by finding the rate of reaction at different temperatures using the Arrhenius Equation. The experiment will go as follows: Into a conical flask put 15cm3 of distilled water and add 2cm3 of [X]moldm-3 potassium iodide (KI) solution and 1cm3 of 2moldm-3 sulphuric acid. Then add to this 2.5cm3 of 5vol (0.42moldm-3) hydrogen

a product. Moles are numbers that are in front of formulae. E.g.‚ 6NaCl‚ 6 is the equation for this formula. A mole would help you balance a skeleton equation‚ and also allows you to calculate how many moles are needed to take part in a chemical reaction. In the laboratory experiment‚ we are investigate the following equation and how they react: HCl(aq)+NaHCO3(s) reacts to produce NaCl(aq)+H2O(I)+CO2(G) (Note*this chemical equation is already balanced in either side of the equation) When HCl(aq)+NaHCO3(s)reacts

Properties and Reactions of Hydrocarbons Abstract Introduction Hydrocarbons are organic materials that contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms‚ these molecules can be saturated or unsaturated and acyclic‚ cyclic‚ or aromatic. In this experiment we used a variety of methods to examine the physical and chemical properties of hydrocarbons. The first experiment we tested a variety of solvents to see if they dissolved our alkane (Decalin). One would expect that non-polar solvents will dissolve
