Chemical Reactions- Sodium Hydroxide A chemical reaction is a change where two or more substances are changed into a new substance. You can identify a chemical reaction by colour change‚ effervescence (bubbles)‚ when light or heat given off‚ and the change is usually irreversible. There are 6 main types of chemical reactions- combustion (often called burning)‚ synthesis‚ decomposition‚ neutralization‚ single replacement and double replacement. A combustion reaction is a reaction with oxygen‚ and

“A brief history of chemical warfare” By Harold Maass For more than 2‚000 years. As early as 600 B.C.‚ the Athenians poisoned the wells of the Spartans‚ who later tried lobbing burning sulfur pitch over the walls of Athens‚ hoping to fill the city with toxic smoke. Genghis Khan used that same trick‚ catapulting burning sulfur pitch during his siege of fortified cities around A.D. 1200. Over the centuries‚ various armies put poisons on arrows and in bullets to make them more lethal. But it wasn’t

Industry Globalisation In this essay I am going to analyse the pressures for globalisation for two different industries using Yip’s globalisation drivers. The two industries I am going to research is the Airline industry‚ using British Airways for examples and the Fast food Industry‚ using examples from McDonalds. I will then try and evaluate how firm strategy has changed in response to globalisation pressures. Firstly we need to try and define what “globalisation†is and how

& COTTAGE INDUSTRIES (Their role‚ problems & prospects in India) (AN OVERVIEW) Small scale industries Definition The definition of small scale industries have changed from time to time. Earlier they were classified under two categories: * Using power with less than 50 employees. * Using no power‚ but strength of employees is more than 50‚ less than 100. However according to the latest definition a industry is said to be a small scale industry if * Its

Titanium Titanium is a transition metal that was discovered in the year 1791 by an English pastor named William Gregor. The discovery was made when Gregor was by a Stream in the parish of Mannacan in Cornwall‚ England and found black magnetic sand. When Gregor analyzed this sand‚ he found out it was made up of the oxides of iron and an undefined and yet undiscovered metal.

FORMAL LAB REPORT INTRODUCTION John Dalton’s atomic theory states that elements combine in simple numerical ratios to form compounds. A compound‚ no matter how it is formed‚ always contains the same elements in the same proportion by weight. The law of mass conservation states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed. In this experiment‚ the mass of the metal was not destroyed or created; the metal’s mass was simply changed into a compound form once the gas

Chemical reactions are a part of everyday lives. Whether it is the burning of propane at a kitchen stove‚ or washing detergent reacting with dirt stains‚ chemical reactions are useful tools that have widespread applications. With so many reactions assisting our everyday activities‚ it is important that ways to optimise reaction rates are investigated. “Reaction rate‚ the speed at which a chemical reaction proceeds… may be defined in terms of the amounts of the reactants consumed or products formed

effect of temperature on reaction rate constant and also to study the effect of the reaction rate constant in a batch stirred tank reactor its important in chemical industry because it is used to determine the effect of temperature on reaction rate constant; it is also used in chemical and process industry for solids dissolution‚ product mixing‚ chemical reaction‚ batch distillation‚ crystallization‚ and polymerization. It is also used in the laboratories in obtaining design‚ interpretation of rate of

CHEMICAL ATTACK ON SYRIA Over 110‚000 people have died in Syria since the beginning of a years-long conflict in the country. On August the 21st‚ the U.S government says that 1‚429 died through the chemical attacks which marked the sea change in foreign policy towards the Middle Eastern country. The impact of poison gas is horrific and fatal. Those exposed to the nerve agent can die within 15 minutes of exposure. Mr. Obama’s absolutist position against it is backed up by international law and the
