Overview Chemical Warfare is using the chemical properties of a substance to your advantage during war. This has been going on for centuries. Even the most basic forms of weapons were used. People have been putting poison on the end of their spears and arrows since they have been around. Over the years‚ it has also developed into much more advanced chemistry. In this article‚ I am going to focus on the more advanced‚ modern uses of chemical warfare in World War I and World War II. World War

According to dictionary.com a teratogen is “a drug or other substance capable of interfering with the development of a fetus‚ causing birth defects”. Teratogens are also substances that are found in the environment which are known to cause defects in fetal development. Teratogens are one of the leading causes of death to newborns in the nation. “There are four major factors that depend on the extent of fetal defects and those are the dosage‚ genetic makeup of the mother and the developing fetus

Chemical Separation Introduction: The objective of this experiment was to extract the pigments from spinach leaves‚ perform Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) on the spinach leaf extract‚ and then determine the best solvent mixture to use to separate the pigments in the extract. The pigments are located inside the chloroplast walls in the cells of the spinach leaves. In order to obtain the pigments the cell walls must be broken down thus exposing the pigment containing chloroplasts. Upon

INTRODUCTION The concentrations of redox-active species can be determined by redox titrations. In a redox titration‚ a measured sample of the unknown is titrated against a standard solution of a substance that will oxidize or reduce the unknown. In the present experiment you will take a sample containing iron‚ add acid to dissolve it [thereby converting all the iron to iron(II)]‚ then use a solution containing permanganate ion‚ MnO4-‚ to oxidize this Fe2+ to Fe3+ ion. The percent of iron in the

the equity beta. To start with‚ we have to state the difference between business risk and financial risk. Business risk represents the risk of the firm’s assets when no debt is used. It is then the risk that is inherent to the firm’s operations. This risk is represented by the asset beta‚ β(a). Financial risk takes into account the firm’s leverage. The leverage will have an effect on the stakeholder’s risk. If leverage is too high‚ amongst other things‚ the risk of bankruptcy increases: the risk
