BPA‚ is a carbon based synthetic compound belonging to the group of diphenylmethane derivatives and bisphenols. The chemical formula for BPA is (CH3)2C(C6H4OH)2. BPA was first synthesized in 1891‚ and was recognized as a synthetic estrogen in the 1930s. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of BPA in 1960 to manufacture certain plastics and epoxy resins. This chemical compound of synthetic estrogen is used to harden plastics and resins‚ while keeping them lightweight. BPA is found

The Effect of Chemicals on Fire In this lab we got to see the effect of chemicals on fire. We got to. See the flames change to different colors. The size of the colorful flame depended on how the Bunsen burner was turned on. I was sick when we were supposed to have the lab read‚ but I got it read the next day before class. During the lab I made sure to have the correct attired on: my goggles and apron. Ow ill go ahead and tell you five good safety precaution tips. One‚ never leave a lit

Chemical Reactions Lab Objectives: 1. To examine a variety of reactions including precipitation‚ acid-base‚ gas forming‚ and oxidation-reduction reactions. 2. To identify the products formed in these reactions and summarize the chemical changes in terms of balanced chemical equations and net ionic equations. 3. To identify the species being oxidized and reduced in oxidation-reduction reactions and determine which species is the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent. Chemical equations represent

Chemical changes are irreversible because substances mix and cause a reaction which creates a new substance. Chemical changes can be caused when a substance is combined with a heat‚ water or another substance. Heat can cause a chemical reaction called caramelisation which is when sugar is heated at a high temperature causing it to break down. This gives the sugar a nutty

Classes of Chemical Reactions Whenever a reaction takes place‚ energy is changed as well when the substances react chemically. Scientists have taken these changes in energy and generalized them. Scientists can take these generalizations and discover more about the nature and tendencies of matter. In this lab‚ the purpose was to perform seven reactions‚ write down their equations‚ and identify the type of reaction. In this lab report‚ several methods of displaying this information will be applied

Case 20: Diamond Chemicals plc (A) --PT07 Group 10 INTRODUCTION: Diamond Chemicals is a large worldwide chemicals producer with two factories in Liverpool England and Rotterdam Holland. Both of their plants were built in 1967 with annual output of 250‚000 metric tons polypropylene. Compare with low-cost producer‚ the production cost per ton is 1.09 which is a little bit high than competitors (see Exhibition 1). With the decline EPS from £60 in 1999 to £30 in 2000 and worldwide economic slowdown
