of industrially important sodium and calcium compounds including Portland cement; the biological significance of sodium‚ potassium‚ magnesium and calcium. • appreciate The s-block elements of the Periodic Table are those in which the last electron enters the outermost s-orbital. As the s-orbital can accommodate only two electrons‚ two groups (1 & 2) belong to the s-block of the Periodic Table. Group 1 of the Periodic Table consists of the elements: lithium‚ sodium‚ potassium‚ rubidium‚ caesium

How sodium chloride concentration affects the germination‚ growth and development of Brassica rapa. Osumi‚ K.‚ Nihei‚ B.‚ Takanishi‚ K.‚ Nakamura‚ C.‚ Warehime‚ R. Period 2. 03/05/17 Introduction: To have a successful germination‚ the plant seed needs a sufficient amount of water and oxygen present. Other conditions include room temperature‚ and the amount of light intake. Hydration of a seed‚ is an essential step for seed germination (Martínez-Andújar‚ 2014). Plants tend to germinate better in

Chemistry Notes Cracking: * 2 types of Cracking; Catalytic cracking and Steam/thermal cracking. * Catalytic cracking‚ using a catalyst called Zeolite (Aluminosilicate)‚ 500 degrees C‚ in the absence of air and at pressures just above atmospheric * Thermal cracking is done without a catalyst; steam is passed through very hot metal tubes at 700-1000 degrees C at just above atmospheric pressure. * This is used to break down longer chains of unsalable hydrocarbons into smaller salable

Environmental Chemistry: Water testing in Bouregreg Valley Nowadays we are more and more concerned of environmental issues and especially the ones about water since experts have remarked that wetland regions are disappearing (50% reduction). Wetland regions are very important because they help preserve different wildlife species and also can be considered important indicators of the health of the “blue planet”. One of the most interesting wetland regions is the Bouregreg one that is close to

Anhydrous sodium sulfate was added to the filtered organic solution to absorb excess water. Although water has a higher affinity towards sodium sulfate than cyclohexanol‚ excess anhydrous sodium sulfate may lead to the absorption of cyclohexane and thus loss of product. Anhydrous sodium sulfate absorbs water due to its polarity and therefore may also absorb cyclohexanol because of its polar O-H bond. If too much anhydrous sodium sulfate was added to the solution‚ part of the product would be absorbed

IB1 Chemistry Practical #8 ANALYSIS OF ASPIRIN TABLETS For a long time the bark of the willow tree (salix alba) was used as a traditional medicine to relieve the fever symptoms of malaria. In the 1860’s chemists showed that the active ingredient in willow bark is salicylic acid (2-hydroxybenzoic acid) and by 1870 salicylic acid was in wide use as a pain killer (analgesic) and fever depressant (antipyretic). However‚ because it is a relatively strong acid‚ salicylic acid has the undesirable side effect

Chemistry in Everyday Life Chemistry in Everyday Life Chemistry is a big part of your everyday life. You find chemistry in daily life in the foods you eat‚ the air you breathe‚ your soap‚ your emotions and literally every object you can see or touch. Here’s a look at some everyday chemistry. Elements in the Human Body Your body is made up of chemical compounds‚ which are combinations of elements. While you probably know your body is mostly water‚ which is hydrogen and oxygen.
