Chemistry of love: how science can explain our daily lives? By Barton Dong Loving and being loved adds richness to our lives. When people feel close to others they are happier and even healthier. Love helps us feel important‚ understood‚ and secure. When people think of love‚ a romantic emotional scene appears in their minds. In the heavy days of a mutual crush‚ pulses race‚ knees go weak‚ and heads reel. So strong are these feelings‚ they’ve launched a thousand songs and

values that have trailing zeros only to the left of the decimal point are ambiguous and should be expressed in scientific notation. We must take note that the chemistry textbook (Silberberg 6e) states that placing a decimal point to the right of some trailing zeros (example: 300.) will make the zeros significant. However in General Chemistry‚ we do not follow this rule. If we want to write a whole number with trailing zeros we must use scientific notation to show which zeros are significant. When

Chemistry 121 Colligative Properties Lab Demonstration of Selected Calculations from Choice I Determination of Kf for Naphthalene To determine the Kf for naphthalene‚ we need to find the difference in the freezing point of pure naphthalene and the solution of 1‚4-dichlorobenzene in naphthalene. Let’s say that we did this experiment‚ used 1.00 g 1‚4-dichlorobenzene in 10.00 g naphthalene‚ and found that the freezing temperature of pure naphthalene was 78.2°C‚ while that of the solution was 75

reactants used and the amounts of products formed in a chemical reaction”. Basically‚ Stoichiometry is the science of counting and studying the relationship between the amounts of the reactants to the product. To think of stoichiometry outside of chemistry‚ imagine a bookshelf. To assemble the bookshelf you may need 3 planks of wood‚ 1 giant plank of wood‚ and 20 nails. Even though the amount of the reactants is high‚ the product would be only one bookshelf. Stoichiometry is basically studying the

Chemistry of Fireworks By Anuradha Sahu Everyone enjoys the amazing firework shows on the Fourth of July with the beautiful vibrant colors and sparks every year. Fireworks have been part of this world for a very long time. They have been used for enjoyment and for signalling purposes. Every culture has their own significance and use of fireworks. But all fireworks have something in common; the chemistry that makes them work. No matter where you find them‚ they are made up of the same compounds

August 22‚ 2013 Assignment 1: The Chemistry of Life Effects of Acid Rain There are many different types of negative effects acid rain has on the world. Acid rain is the mixture of wet and dry deposition from the atmosphere containing higher than normal amounts of nitric and sulfuric acids. Pollution contributes to the forming of acid rain. One of the main causes is industrial burning of coal and other fossil fuels the oxides they contain and combine with atmospheric water which forms acids.

CONCEPTS IN ORGANIC CHEMISTRY • Inductive Effect : Inductive effect is defined as permanent displacement of shared electron pair in a carbon chain towards more electronegative atom or group. Types of Inductive effect : 1.Negative Inductive Effect : (—I effect‚ Electron withdrawing effect) when an electronegative atom or group (more electro negative than hydrogen)is attached to the terminal of the carbon chain in a compound‚ the electrons are displaced in the direction of the attached
