Peter Mehnert Rhet 105 Ms. Paterson 11/14/12 Extended Synthesis: Cigarette Smoking Tobacco has played an important role in America from the beginning. It was grown as a cash crop by the Jamestown settlers in 1612‚ but over the years the popular opinion has changed about tobacco. Tobacco is used to make cigarettes‚ which have been extremely popular‚ now known to be extremely dangerous. Even the warnings on the cigarette box have changed to a statement much more alarming. In the 1960s‚ the warning

Synthesis of Information In summary‚ the articles researched were divided into four main categories. The categories all focused on something different. The categories were; the perception kids have on food‚ communities raising healthy kids‚ nutritional awareness and the school context. The first two articles had the common theme of how children view food and to find what children thought and felt about healthy food. The third article was aimed towards parents. The theme of this article was how

the synthesis of 3-nitrobenzaldehyde through nitration. The nitration of benzaldehyde is an example of an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction‚ in which a proton of an aromatic ring is replaced by a nitro group. Many aromatic substitution reactions are known to occur when an aromatic substrate is allowed to react with a suitable electrophilic reagent‚ and many other groups besides nitro may be introduced into the ring. Although the reaction produced a low yield at the end‚ the yield is calculated

agent for rabies. The rabies virus is enveloped‚ it is covered/surrounded by a covering for protection. The rhabdovirus contains up of a helical ribonucleoprotein core(RNP)‚ and an envelope that is surrounding the viru (CDC‚2011). Eukaryotes have a synthesis process between protein and RNA that forms the ribonucleoprotein. The rabies genome has five protein components: nucleoprotein‚ phosphoprotein‚ matrix protein‚ glycoprotein‚ and polymerase protein(CDC‚2011).

EXTRACTION Organic Chemistry Laboratory This experiment was conducted in order to compare single and multiple extraction of caffeine from dried tea leaves and to calculate the percentage yield of caffeine for both extraction procedures. The group was assigned to do the multiple extraction. Before the extraction proper‚ the water bath containing the anhydrous sodium carbonate and distilled water was heated. As the sodium carbonate dissolves‚ tea leaves were added in the mixture and allowed to

Synthesis Argument Do you want to have everything decided for you? Does that make you feel safe and comfortable? How about confused and concerned? Do you see too many laws that restrict your freedom? Government protects people from threats and is not to unnecessarily legislate that restricts freedom and governs morality but to leave that to the realm of individual responsibility. Government is defined by the Webster Dictionary as "the system by which a state or community is governed." In America

One out of every 3 students in America have scored "below basic" on the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) reading test. the United States was once the leading country in every aspect‚ including education‚ but now it has fallen behind to 17th place

In modern day‚ man does not truly think about how much the earth means to life. On the contrary‚ humans aspire to cease Mother Nature’s beauty with the replacement of modern day cities made up of synthetic nature. Since the dawn of the twentieth century‚ a major theme in the American Arts has been the protest against man’s destruction of the natural world. With this in mind‚ as very well argued in Chief Seattle’s article “Respect”‚ humans fail to be conscious of the physical and sentimental value

aqueous solution of formaldehyde is called formalin. The commercially available formalin has 10 to 12% methanol with a few impurities like aluminum and copper. Almost 21 million tonnes of formaldehyde is produced annually all around the world. Synthesis of Formaldehyde Formaldehyde is produced by catalytic oxidation of methanol. A mixture of molybdenum and iron or silver is used as a catalyst in such a reaction. But a more commonly used process is FORMAX. In this process‚ methanol and oxygen
