The story is told of a man who jammed a pike into a drill hole filled with gunpowder causing an explosion that sent a pike through his head‚ but too much surprise‚ he lived.

Clock reactions If you choose a project that explores the kinetics of a chemical reaction you will need a way of measuring the rate of the reaction. Clock reactions provide an interesting way of doing this for some systems. In a typical reaction the first part of a graph showing the concentration of product against time is approximately a straight line (see Figure 1). If you choose any value of concentration that lies on this straight line (say c1) the initial rate of reaction can be found

I think Hammurabi’s Code of Law was an excellent deterrent against crime‚ and very few people would try to break the law. I think this is due to how harsh the laws were. There was zero
