Lord Rayleigh and Sir William Ramsey succeeded in proving that there must exist a previously unknown gas in the atmosphere. They subsequently worked in their separate laboratories on this problem but communicated the results of their labors almost daily. At the meeting of the British Association in August 1894‚ they announced the discovery of Argon. They found the gas by isolating a small sample of the nonreactive portion of atmospheric nitrogen; once all the oxygen and nitrogen were removed from

What is Chemistry? Chemistry is the study of matter and energy and the interactions between them. This is also the definition for physics‚ by the way. Chemistry and physics are specializations of physical science. Chemistry tends to focus on the properties of substances and the interactions between different types of matter‚ particularly reactions that involve electrons. Physics tends to focus more on the nuclear part of the atom‚ as well as the subatomic realm. Really‚ they are two sides of the

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 Steve Allen‚ Getty Images Your body is made up of chemical compounds‚ which are combinations of elements.

concentration in the Dead Sea due to high evaporation and damaged aquatic life near the Great Barrier Reef caused by run-off from agricultural land. Eutrophication is caused by an excess amount of nitrate and phosphate in water bodies. It is usually caused by fertiliser run off and dumping of sewage going into waterways (basically human activity). Algal bloom is the direct result of eutrophication where suffocation of aquatic life and nutrient depletion may occur. Professionals may use a colorimetric

A. Role of Chemistry in Society Applications of chemical science have contributed significantly to the advancement of human civilization (1‚ 2‚ 3). With a growing understanding and ability to manipulate chemical molecules‚ the post-World War II chemist was considered a societal problem solver. They synthesized crop-enhancing agricultural chemicals to ensure a constant and viable food supply. They played a significant role in the eradication of deadly diseases by developing life-saving pharmaceuticals

Chemistry and Us The world is surrounded by so many things and everything is made of chemicals. Chemistry is very vital because it helps us to know the composition and changes of matter. Every single day of our life passes through chemistry in many ways. Human body works through the chemical reactions happening inside it. When we breathe‚ eat and sleep there’s still the presence of chemistry. The oxygen and foods we take helps our body to work. Exchanges of gasses‚ breaking down of foods we
