BIOPOL Biopol is a biopolymer that is an environmentally friendly biodegradable plastic made from renewable resources (made naturally in plants from starch and glucose). Biopol is the brand name for a group of biopolymers often called PHAs or PHBs. The continual use of petroleum to make polymers for plastic will eventually run out and hence Biopol was introduced as a polymer replacement for petroleum. It is made from an organic substance known as Alcaligenes eutrophus which is a microorganism.

Introduction Silver is a chemical element with atomic number 47 and symbol Ag. It is white‚ soft‚ mallable and ductile metal slightly harder than gold. Silver is extremely flexible‚ this means that it can be converted into both flat sheets and electrical wire. This makes silver is an ideal metal for all kinds of industrial use. Silver occurs in lead‚ Zinc and copper ore deposits. Lead ore is the main source of Silver. In fact‚ 75% of the resources in the world are found in association with other

Chocolate is made from the cacao bean. According to Rodney Lipson‚ “Cacao has been a cultivated crop for at least three thousand years‚ probably quite a bit more. The people who first utilized Cacao were the inhabitants of what is now Venezuela” (Lipson) This group of people would eventually spread the cacao bean in northwestern South America. Cacao was clearly highly valued by these people and they spread it northward through trade with their neighbors. It was probably the Maya‚ over 1500 years

Lab 5 Column Chromatography: Isolation of Lycopene from Tomato Paste Reading: Zubrick‚ pages 79-82‚ 127-130‚ 138-139‚ 141-143‚ and 235-240 Pre-lab: look up the structure of lycopene. Introduction: Lycopene is the red pigment in ripe tomatoes and‚ as an antioxidant‚ helps to fight certain cancers. In this lab you will isolate lycopene from tomato paste. To do this you will first extract carotenoid pigments from the paste and then use column chromatography to isolate the lycopene from

incorporated into the inks. Sometimes‚ the color change occurring at a temperature is permanent‚ and at other times the original color can be regained on cooling. Accordingly‚ we have an irreversible or reversible thermochromic system. The required chemistry can be adopted based on the end use. That means one can select an irreversible thermochromic system when a certain temperature crossing is to be monitored and a reversible system when the actual temperature range is to be monitored. The color change

SYNTHESIS AND CHEMISTRY OF K2S2O8 ABSTRACT In this experiment‚ a sample of K2S2O8 was prepared by the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of H2SO4 and K2SO4. The peroxodisulfate anion‚ S2O82-‚ was also observed for its ability to serve as a counterion for precipitation by preparing a copper (II) complex by reacting hydrated copper (II) sulfate with ammonium peroxodisulfate in the presence of pyridine. This same ability‚ coupled with its strong oxidizing ability allowed for stabilization of

BENIFICIAL AND ALTERNATIVELY NOT SO BENIFICAL USES OF RADIATION BY: Sanwal Hayat What is radiation? Radiation is away in which energy moves from one place to another for example energy radiates away when a stone dropped in the water in circular waves while sound energy radiates from speakers mouth to listeners ear and heat energy radiates from sun to earth.

THE WONDERFUL HYGENIC WORLD OF SHAMPOO Everyone who uses shampoo could tell you that their main factors in choosing a shampoo to use are smell‚ look‚ and price. People are misinformed about shampoo and how to tell the difference between a good shampoo and a bad one. The main point of shampoo is to cleanse your skull of residue that is picked up either from hair products such as hair spray‚ gel or moose‚ as well as the dirt in the air‚ and perspiration. Shampoo is something that all of us use on
