Matter and its Properties Basic Building Blocks of Matter The fundamental building blocks of matter are atoms and molecules. These make up elements and compounds. An atom is the smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of that element. And element is a pure substance made of only one kind of atom. A compound is the substance that is made from the atoms of two or more elements that are chemically bonded. Water is an example of a compound because it is one of many compounds that

Genetic engineering often gets a bad rap with changing the natural evolutionary cycle‚ but it could‚ with proper guidance‚ improve almost every aspect of daily life. Advances in the Biotech Revolution have made many things that we had merely considered to be science fiction or a thing of dreams are now possible.The fact of the matter is that genetic engineering is applicable to everyday life while still being ethical and inline with people’s morals. As the testing of genetic engineering furthers

Introduction‚ aim and hypothesis Chemical reactions are accompanied by the release or absorption of energy. Reactions which release energy are described as exothermic and those which absorb energy are endothermic. The energy released in chemical reactions was previously stored as chemical potential energy in the reactants; this stored energy is called enthalpy. The aim of this practical is to observe and classify chemical processes as endothermic or exothermic‚ based on the changes in temperature

| 1. For Part 2: Single-Displacement Reactions: For each of the four single-displacement reactions‚ describe what happened in each well. If a chemical reaction occurred‚ write a balanced equation for it. Then using the A‚ B symbols‚ write a general equation for a single-displacement reaction. Here are the chemical formulas of the reactants for each reaction: • zinc – Zn copper sulfate – CuSO4 • aluminum – Al copper sulfate – CuSO4 • zinc

I was assigned was the element Manganese. The symbol for manganese is Mn. It is number 25 on the periodic table. That means it has 25 protons and electrons even on mars or anywhere you go it will have the same protons and electrons. The atomic number would also be 25. It has 30 neutrons also in in the nucleus. The melting point for Manganese would be 1519 K (1246°C or 2275°F). The boiling point would be 1519 K (1246°C or 2275°F) according to http://education.jlab.org/. It also could be 1245.0 °C

Mole Ratio of a Chemical Reaction: Copper & Silver Nitrate Lab #4 OBJECTIVE In this experiment‚ you will determine the number of moles of reactants and products present in the reaction of copper and silver nitrate‚ and calculate their mole-to-mole ratio. The mole-to-mole ratio relating to the disappearance of copper and the formation of silver metal will be used to write the balanced equation for the reaction. The reaction of copper metal with silver nitrate solution is a single

AP* Chemistry CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIA: GENERAL CONCEPTS THE NATURE OF THE EQUILIBRIUM STATE: Equilibrium is the state where the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction. At these conditions‚ concentrations of all reactants and products remain constant with time once equilibrium has been established at constant temperature. (In stoichiometry‚ we dealt with equations that went to completion; often equilibrium equations are going to fall short of this goal.) Reactions are

HOW FAST ARE CHEMICAL REACTIONS? THEORY The study of reaction rates‚ how fast or how slow a reaction takes place‚ is known as chemical kinetics. The rate of chemical reactions varies greatly. Some reactions‚ such as the explosion of an atom bomb are uncontrollable. Reactions like the decay of radioactive carbon (14C) are so slow that it takes centuries to see any noticeable change. Between the two extremes are reactions that can be measured in the laboratory. There are several factors that

Investigating Chemical Equilibrium Date: 30th April 2013 Due Date: 15th May 2013 Prepared For: M. Seraji Prepared by: Andrea Odunze Abstract Many reactions proceed to a state of equilibrium. A chemical reaction at equilibrium‚ where the rates of the forward reaction and reverse reaction are equal‚ looks like this: A + B AB There are three factors‚ according to Le Chatelier’s principle‚ that affect the equilibrium position and equilibrium constant. These are the concentrations of products
