Chemistry of Sunscreens “Over 400 years ago‚ Copernicus declared that the sun was the center of our universe. Primitive societies in every continent have worshiped the sun as the god that provided warmth and made the crops grow” Today‚ the sun is not something we worship but something we try to avoid due to the fact that we are aware that it contains two main sources of ultraviolet radiation that is harmful to our bodies. Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is defined by wavelengths‚ and is divided

The importance of chemistry‚ or any other area of study‚ depends entirely on how relevant it is to some desired outcome. If you wished to create a new type of plastic‚ chemistry would be highly important‚ but if you wished to develop a new music genre‚ chemistry would probably be of no importance at all. It is extremely important. That aspirin or tylenol you may take for a headache was made by chemists‚ as are antibiotics‚ and other prescription meds. Not only are chemists in the drug trade‚ but

Over 100 million animals are burned‚ crippled‚ poisoned and abused in U.S. labs every year. 92 percent of experimental drugs that are safe and effective in animals fail in human clinical trials because they are too dangerous or don’t work. Labs that use mice‚ rats‚ birds‚ reptiles and amphibians are exempted from the minimal protections under the Animal Welfare Act (AWA). Up to 90 percent of animals used in U.S. labs aren’t counted in the official statistics of animals tested. The

A. Water boils at 100°C at sea level. If the water in this experiment did not boil at 100°C‚ what could be the reason? The reason why water did not boil at 100°C could be because we are not at sea level; the pressure could be lower. B. While heating two different samples of water at sea level‚ one boils at 102°C and one boils at 99.2°C. Calculate the percent error for each sample from the theoretical 100.0°C. 1st sample 1.96% error 2nd sample 0.81% error C. An unknown

C H A P T E R 5 Basic Concepts from Organic Chemistry 5.1 | INTRODUCTION The fundamental information that environmental engineers and scientists need concerning organic chemistry differs considerably from that which the organic chemist requires. This difference is due to the fact that chemists are concerned principally with the synthesis of compounds‚ whereas environmental engineers and scientists are concerned‚ in the main‚ with how the organic compounds in liquid‚ solid‚ and gaseous wastes
