WGP CHEMICAL COMPANY CASE STUDY 1. What is the total distribution cost for W-G-P Chemical Company? What is the cost per pound‚ cubic foot‚ case‚ line‚ and order? How can these measures contribute to the distribution review process? In order to calculate the total distribution cost‚ carrying cost must be calculated. Inventory carrying cost rate was given as 18%. The formula is Annual carrying cost=average inventory level * carrying cost rate Average inventory was given in table 4 as $90 million

The objective: In this experiment‚ I decided to find out how temperature would affect endothermic reactions compared to exothermic reactions. An endothermic reaction absorbs energy in the form of heat. This reaction feels cold because it is taking heat away from its surroundings. It also releases gases. An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases energy as heat. Since the energy is released‚ the exothermic reactions feel hot. Methods/Materials I did three experiments. I mixed lemon juice

Naming Chemical Compounds General Information: Scientists all around the globe use a standard method for naming chemical compounds. The standards were set up by an international committee sponsored by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). Having this standard makes life easier for people who use these compounds everyday. It would be tough to set up any experiment if scientists everywhere used different names for the same compound. It would also make the lab a

Chapter 6 - Answer Key to Section Review 1-3 Section Review 1 1. What is the main distinction between ionic and covalent bonding? Answer (A): Ionic bonding involves the electrical attraction between large numbers of anions and cations. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electron pairs between two atoms. Translation: -Ionic bonding happens between a metal and a non-metal (east coast and west coast) -One atom completely donates its valence electrons to another atom -Metals

CHM1022 Tutorial 2 – Semester 2‚ 2012 (Chemical Equilibria) 1. The reaction 2 HCl(g) +I2(s) [pic] 2 HI (g) + Cl2(g) has Kc = 1.0 x 10-34 at 25˚C. If a 1.00 L reaction vessel initially contains 0.100 mol of each HCl and solid I2‚ what are the concentrations of HI and Cl2 at equilibrium? 2. Consider the following gas-phase reaction and equilibrium constant at 25 oC: 4 HCl(g) + O2(g) [pic] 2 Cl2(g) + 2 H2O(g) The concentrations of all species were measured at a particular

Question 1 Issues Arising From Case The issues are the future viability of the plant for producing EPC and the long-term effects of not upgrading this production line. The additional upgrade will result in additional production‚ but as mentioned by the sales director if there is no demand for the increase in supply and Rotterdam plants excess will be added to the Mersey side quantities the plant upgrade could ultimately result in a dropping of prices to shift supply.

Determination of Chemical Formulae: The Reaction of Zinc and Iodine By Sarah Abstract: The main objective of this experiment was to use to the reaction between zinc and iodine to examine the validity of the Law of Conservation of Mass and the Law of Constant Composition. The Law of Constant Composition was tested by determining the mass of each of the reactants‚ zinc and iodine‚ and comparing their total to the mass of the zinc iodide product plus the excess zinc. The total mass of the reactants
