    Mystery Mixtures Lab Report

    After examining seven additional substances, there were many pieces of evidence that help conclude that the mystery mixture ( number 8) is composed of citric acid and sodium bicarbonate the same as mixture six . At first when just observing the dry mixtures, it was hard to determine which ones were identical to the mystery mixture. In order to figure out which substances combined to make the mystery mixture, another process we followed was adding water to the substances and observing the reaction. Adding water to the mixtures resulted in a chemical reaction. The materials fizzed and bubbled due to the reaction.…

    Identifying Organic Compounds in Foods

    The common organic compounds provide us with nutrients are sugars and starches, carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids. In this lab, qualitative tests are performed to identify the presence of organic compounds in food using indicators, chemical substances that react in a certain way when a particular substance is present. We put one indicator into the each test tube containing different solutions at a time to see what organic compound is present. The color change in the indicator tells that cornstarch contains starch; honey, lettuce, and fruit juice contain sugar; corn oil contain lipid; and by comparing with the standard for positive identification of the substance, unknown is tested to have protein just as egg white. The result tells what nutrients are in the food, and how to test the unknown substances.…

    Breaking Bad Analysis

    Ascending to the highest echelon of prominence on Netflix in 2009, Breaking Bad, produced by Vince Gilligan, engages its viewers with spine-chilling excitement throughout the dark metamorphosis of Dr. Walter H. White. Living in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Walter White holds a PhD in chemistry; however, he works as an overqualified and underappreciated high school chemistry teacher. In the first episode of Breaking Bad, “Pilot”, White defines chemistry as a change in “growth, decay, [and] transformation” in front of students that could not care less about learning chemistry at the high school level. Further in the episode, the physician diagnosis White with inoperable stage III lung cancer. Upon diagnosing White, the physician sentences him to…

    Poem Reflection: Woman on a Beach

    The poem Woman on a Beach written by Anne Michaels does an exquisite job at making an everyday event, seem so unique and unordinary. The author is really able to capture the reader’s attention by using exceptional adjectives to describe the setting and environment of the beach. This author is able to make the reader feel like they are actually there, through the use of their imagery. She is really able to describe the setting, so that the reader can almost feel the relaxation the women are feeling and have somewhat of the same experience. The symbolism however, is not as noticeable as the imagery but is still present. The main piece of symbolism is the use of the “red shirt”. Anne makes it notable that the red shirt stands out from the pale sky. The red shirt could symbolize the women in general, and how together they are strong and support one another so much that it would stand out to the rest of the people on the beach, or in this case stands out from the sky. She composes the thought of the beach being peaceful enough to allow someone to fall asleep on it, and able to spend the whole day on the beach, it seems very relaxing. By the end of this poem I got the feeling that being on a beach is an exquisite way to relax, and calm yourself down, and just be alone with your thoughts even if you’re with a group of…

    The Gojira In Honda's Film

    The Gojira portrayed in Honda's film was the personification of the mass devastation brought about by nuclear testing and not merely just a monster. However, this narrative was heavily downplayed in the American remake by Morse. GKotM was edited in such a way that portrayed Godzilla as nothing more than a remorseless and unforgiving monster, out to cause massive destruction. Dr.Yamane's final remarks after having defeated Gojira, "but if we keep on conducting nuclear tests, it's possible that another Gojira might appear somewhere in the world again," was an obvious caution towards the consequences of continuous nuclear testing. Honda was clearly conveying that Gojira was unleashed as a product of human's selfish desire to dominate over nature.…
