the U.S should stop making pennies. Pennies just cost to much to make‚ and they waste our time counting them over counters and at food service windows. Also‚ other countries have banned the penny and so should we. The penny costs more than its worth.

increased the amount of carbon dioxide being released into our environment. The team of researchers also discovered that magnified pyrite (commonly known as fool’s gold) oxidation created acidity that allowed carbon dioxide into our oceans and altered the Earth’s carbon cycle. Over a time period of 10‚000 years‚ glacial oxidation could have altered the concentration of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere by nearly

Gold Penny Lab Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to convert a regular penny into a “gold” penny. Background: Chemistry is a branch of physical science that studies the composition‚ properties and behavior of matter (www.acs.org). Sodium hydroxide is considered to be a strong base because it breaks up in water. When mixed with certain metals it produces potentially explosive hydrogen gas. Many alchemists believed that doing certain chemical reactions that they would be able

1.0 Title Determination of Protein Content Using Kjedahl and Titration 2.0 Introduction Proteins are polymers. They are the source of dietary amino acids and are used for growth and maintenance of living systems. They are costlier sources of energy compared to carbohydrates and fats and hence the human body utilizes proteins mainly for biosynthesis rather than as an energy source‚ though the energy yield is 5 kcal/g of protein. Twenty different types of amino acids occur naturally in proteins

Determination of Calcium ions in milk using titration. Background Calcium is a mineral which is essential to the human body. In fact 1.5% of the human body is made up of calcium‚ and not just the obvious uses such as bone and teeth formation but it is also a vital factor in many enzyme reactions‚ for example blood clotting. It also partakes in the regulation of the hearts rhythm. Lack of the crucial mineral can result in the build up of cadmium and lead‚ both of which are toxic. along
