the variety of living things including our own bodies; all these are made of substances that we call chemicals. These chemicals interact with one another‚ and‚ in many cases‚ these interactions produce new substances through processes known as chemical reactions. Over time‚ in high school I have learned much about chemicals and have mastered numerous chemical reactions‚ giving me the ability to modify existing substances and synthesize new ones. Consequently‚ chemist have created a whole new realm

exponential uprise of America’s crime rate‚ the financial leech from other departments‚ and the sheer illegality of the punishment are all reasons why a federal law needs to be passed in order to treat and rehabilitate those addicted to illegal substances‚ rather than punish them. The flaws within this system are detrimental not only to the prisoners in question‚ but the entire United States. For example‚ funding for students who have great potential is wasted detaining an addict with no control

maltreatment‚ a way to tell is by their actions (www.americanhumane.org). Children suffering from emotional abuse are subject to destructive behaviors. As a result of parental substance abuse‚ the excessive use of drugs or alcohol‚ children who are exposed to these situations are more likely to abuse substances in the same manner. Substance abuse becomes common for children who are abused (www.childprotect.org). A child may see their parents or caregivers abusing drugs or drinking alcohol‚ leading them

types of impurities: those more soluble in a given solvent than the main component and those less soluble. (If there are any impurities that have the same solubility as the main component‚ then a different solvent needs to be chosen.) When organic substances are synthesized in the laboratory or isolated from plants‚ they will obviously contain impurities. Several techniques for purifying these compounds have been developed. The most basic of these techniques for the purification of organic solids is

However‚ sodium chloride is itself a substance and cannot be separated by physical process into its chemical constituents. Similarly‚ sugar is a substance because it contains only one kind of pure matter and its composition is the same throughout. Soft drink and soil are not single substances. Whatever the source of a substance may be‚ it will always have the same characteristic properties. Therefore‚ we can say that a mixture contains more than one substance.

Molar Heat of Combustion of a substance is the heat liberated when 1 mole of the substance undergoes complete combustion with oxygen at standard atmospheric pressure‚ with the final products being carbon dioxide gas and liquid water. (Ref. “Conquering Chemistry‚ Roland Smith‚ 2005”) The Heat Capacity of a substance is the amount of heat energy it must consume in order to raise its temperature by 1 Kelvin or 1° Celsius. The heat capacity of 1 mol of a pure substance is known as its molar heat capacity

Nigeria proved that Barium Chloride is lethal for they placed twenty rats in a location contaminated with Barium Chloride. If the rats were not given a remedy within a few minutes‚ they died. Although the lab was conducted in a mostly perfect location‚ there could have been many errors that could have led to different results. When the chemical from the basement was retrieved‚ it could have been contaminated during transportation over to the lab which could have altered the results. Also‚ the mixture

words: "pharmakon" meaning drug or medicine‚ and "gnosis" meaning knowledge. The American Society of Pharmacognosy defines pharmacognosy as "the study of the physical‚ chemical‚ biochemical and biological properties of drugs‚ drug substances or potential drugs or drug substances of natural origin as well as the search for new drugs from natural sources". Plant preparations are said to be medicinal or herbal when they are used to promote health beyond basic nutrition. The study of drugs from plants

6.022 x 10^23 6. 1 mole= 6.022 x 10^23 7. Avogadro used the number to create molar mass 8. Molar mass is the weight of an atom in 1 mol‚ g/mol is the unit 9. MM is the abbreviation for molar mass 10. A mole is defined as the quantity of a substance that has the same number of particles as are found in 12.000 grams of carbon-12 11. The mass in grams of one mole of a compound is equal to the molecular weight of the compound in atomic mass units 12. Avogadro was born in 1776 in Italy during
