In today’s society‚ doctors like to press the urgency for calcium intake if they believe their patients have weak bones. While they are right that it is needed in our daily diet‚ they are wrong to assume that it’s the only main mineral needed for bone strength and growth. Silica is also a primary ingredient for strong bones and it is the basic foundation in bone growth. I believe that doctors should stop pressing society to consume so much calcium and‚ I think they should emphasize the need for

African American women are twice as likely as African American men to be diagnosed with sarcoidosis. “In the United States‚ sarcoidosis is diagnosed in about one to two whites per 10‚000 and in three to four blacks per every 10‚000” (Cleveland Clinic‚ 2012). Genetic predisposition to the disease has not been confirmed but recent reports have uncovered “new evidence suggesting familial sarcoidosis supporting the role of genetic factors: the similarity of phenotypical presentation among families

Bromination of trans- Stilbene to form 1‚2- Dibromo- 1‚2-diphenylethane Abstract 1‚2-dibromo-1‚2-diphenylethane was produced by the bromination of trans-stilbene through the addition of hydrobromic acid (HBr) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). This experiment was a greener bromination of stilbene because bromine was generated in situ and ethanol was used as the solvent. The melting point (243.30°C)‚ mass (.427g)‚ and percent yield (45.54) of the crystals were recorded. The FTIR

stir the solution in the conical vial while it is in the reflux condenser. The vigorous stirring is to ensure the interaction between the 1-hexene‚ the HBr‚ and the tetrabutylammonium bromide. Tetrabutylammonium bromide is used as a phase catalyst (one that helps the reactants move into the same phase phase) to help proceed the reaction faster since HBr and 1-hexene are the aqueous and organic phases respectively. The use of a reflux condenser is also crucial for the success of the reaction. The reflux
