“LEUKEMIA” CANCER OF THE BLOOD INTRODUCTION “You have to realize that every well person is a miracle‚ it takes billions of cells to make up a person‚ and it will only take one cell to be bad to destroy the whole person”‚ this quote is from Barbara Bush from one of her past interviews about a daughter she lost with leukemia (Cunningham‚ 1988). This quote reminded me five years ago‚ when my niece was diagnosed with leukemia. She does not only have one bad cell inside her body but she has extra

Unlocking the Secrets of the Universe Increasing our knowledge of Physics‚ using the scientific method to make observations and test hypotheses is essential to unlocking the secrets of the universe. Energy is one of the most fundamental elements of the universe. Throughout history‚ man has endeavored to expose‚ understand‚ and explain how and why things work. This drive to expand our understanding eventually led to the development of the scientific method and what is commonly considered

Extraction of Caffeine from Tea Leaves Introduction Caffeine is soluble in boiling water and as a result it is easily extracted from tea bags by steeping in hot water. This process leaves behind the water insoluble portions of the tea bag. However‚ water extracts more than just caffeine‚ so a final separation is done with an organic solvent that will dissolve primarily caffeine. The organic solvent used in this experiment is Dichloromethane (CH₂Cl₂). Dichloromethane is less polar than water

It is possible to isolate these compounds from a sample of water by purging a sample with the inert gas helium. These compounds have a lower boiling point than water and can be gaseous even at room temperature. They include propane‚ formalhyde‚ benzene and gasoline products. For a long period of time‚ products containing VOCs have been released into the air‚ in water and the ground. The compounds have found way into the ground due to spillage‚ or when rain mixes with emissions from factories

Sample Lab Report Simple and Fractional Distillation Unknown # 2 Purpose In this experiment we aim to demonstrate that we can separate two volatile compounds from a mixture due to the different chemical properties of each compound. We will accomplish this by a separation procedure known as distillation‚ which relies on each compound having a distinct and separate boiling point. Our pure products will be analyzed with gas chromatography to determine the success of the distillation. Procedures

Air Pollution from Vehicles Jacqueline Alcantar University of Phoenix Kieste Mayfield October 24‚ 2010 Automobiles as well as other mobile vehicles are one of the largest contributors to polluting our air on a daily basis. While these vehicles produce green house gases such as carbon monoxide‚ they are also contaminating the air with many other air pollutants and air toxins. By finding alternative fuel sources will be one of the solutions to curb the emissions that produce the pollutions. As smaller

Date: May 22‚ 2012 Name: Cristhian Valor Organic Laboratory Pre-Lab 1. Main reaction sequence including side reaction products: 2. 3 Sentence Summary of the Experiment: The OH group on the benzene ring in salicyclic acid reacts with acetic anhydride to form an ester functional group. Thus the formation of acetylsalicyclic acid (aspirin) is referred to as an esterification reaction‚ which requires the presence of H+ (H2SO4 in our case). The technique used to purify the aspirin content
