    PNP or paranitrophenol is an organic compound that undergoes changes when the pH is manipulated of the solution. PNP is also an acid/ base indicator. The compounded starts off as internal conjugated ring with the hydroxyl group and the nitro group single bonded to the aromatic ring. This occurs at the pH of 5. At this point the aromatic compound is colorless and is in the ultraviolet range. However, as the pH begins to increase the hydroxyl group deprotonates, leaving the oxygen with a negative 1 charge. The molecule compensates for the negative charge by conforming to a more stable resonance structure. The structure now has the oxygen and the nitrogen for the nitro group double bonded to the ring. The negative charge lies with one the oxygen atom that is a part of the nitro group. This lead to a highly conjugated system. If a system is conjugated the compound shows the presence by giving off a color. In PNP the color change is most visible at the pH of 10.…

    The Islamic belief is based off of an almighty, magnificent God who has fashioned the world and who controls each and every part of the world down to the smallest detail. Islam is considered to be closely related to the other monotheistic religions of Judaism and Christianity, and all three religions worship the same God. The idea of God’s power receives the greatest importance in Islam. The most basic concept of Islam is that there is only one God. Since there is only one God, only this God has the right to be worshipped. None…

    During the election of 1834 I agree with Andrew Jacksons beliefs on how the United States Bank should be ran. The US Bank focuses too much on the rich citizens and their money, and this doesn’t help the poor. They are out to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. I believe that Andrew Jackson should challenge the US National Bank and place the money in State Banks. This would prevent the privileged class of businessmen to destroy the will of the common people of America. He promised to empower the “common man” of America. I also agree with Jackson on how wanted land to be bought with gold and silver or “hard money” instead of paper money or “soft money”.…

Muhammad's death in 632 caused disagreements over who would follow him as leader of the Muslim world, thus many different leaders arose. The Umayyad aristocracy viewed Islam as a religion for Arabs only. Islam spread quickly during 750-1258 the era that they call The Golden Age. Muslims believe that Allah revealed the Qur'an to Muhammad who was thought to be God's final prophet, and regard the Qur'an and the Sunnah, the words of Muhammad, as the basis of Islam.

    The belief system of a religion is the most important characteristic it shall uphold. The base of Islamic beliefs is the revelations the prophet Muhammad received from God, these revelations collectively, are known as the Qur’an. The Islamic Aqida, the creed, contains six key articles of beliefs as revealed by Allah: the belief in Allah as the one and only God, the belief in the holy books, belief in the Prophets, belief in angels, belief in the Day of Judgement; The day when the life of every human being will be assessed to decide whether they go to heaven or hell, and lastly the belief in Predestination; that Allah has the knowledge of all that will happen.
