Salt Case Study Salt and Food We all need a little salt because it helps keep your body fluids at the right concentration. However‚ the majority of us eat more salt than we need. On average‚ people in the UK eat about 8.1g of salt a day. Even though it doesn’t sound like a lot‚ to reduce the risk of disease‚ adults should not be eating more than 6g of salt per day. A main source of salt is table salt. Your body only needs 1/4 teaspoon of salt every day. Salt is naturally found in foods but

Esmeralda Curiel Organic Chemistry October 21‚ 2014 Experiment 41- 1‚4-Diphenyl-1‚3-Butadiene INTRODUCTION The study of the Wittig Reaction is important because it is often used to form alkenes from carbonyl compounds. The purpose of this experiment is to isolate the trans‚ trans-1‚4-diphenyl-1‚3-butadiene‚ which is formed by a Wittig reaction along with the cis‚ trans isomeric diene. The reaction is carried out in two steps. First the Wittig salt is obtained through a simple nucleophilic displacement

Chemistry (the etymology of the word has been much disputed)[1] is the science of matter and the changes it undergoes. The science of matter is also addressed by physics‚ but while physics takes a more general and fundamental approach‚ chemistry is more specialized‚ being concerned with the composition‚ behavior (or reaction)‚ structure‚ and properties of matter‚ as well as the changes it undergoes during chemical reactions.[2] It is a physical science which studies various substances‚ atoms‚ molecules

In this Laboratory experiment‚ my lab partner Alexander and I were able to understand thoroughly the physical and chemical properties of salt (NaCl) and sand (SiO2). Followed by the right procedure we were able to design and test out the components of both NaCl and SiO2 in order to separate the unknown mixture that we were able to find out about. We were also given the task to provide the percent composition of the mixtures. Therefore‚ the separation of components among this experiment allowed us

Nuclear Chemistry: The Good vs. the Ugly The definition for nuclear chemistry is the application of chemical techniques to the solution of problems in nuclear physics. This includes the discovery of naturally occurring and synthetic radioactive elements and the results of nuclear fission. There are both pros and cons in nuclear chemistry. People believe that nuclear chemistry is bad for the environment but there are a lot of great things that can come out of this. Things like medical uses‚ food

Key Questions Lesson 1 1. One argument against continuing research on the atom is that the cost continues to increase at an alarming rate‚ and the benefits seem to be declining. Whereas quantum chemistry experiments as early as 80 years ago were very cheap and yielded considerable practical results‚ now very few if any practical results are emerging‚ but the costs of experiments continues to increase. On the other hand a common argument for the continued
