Physical and Chemical Properties Chem 107 6-4-2013 A pure substance or chemical substance is a material that is homogeneous. It has consistent properties throughout the sample.” Pure substances can be described by both physical and chemical properties”. Physical properties can include‚ color‚ odor‚ melting point‚ boiling point‚ and solubility in various solvents‚ etc. The observation of these physical properties does not involve any chemical change in the substance‚ it is still the same

Chemical Engineering Career Adam Homan Saint Paul College Chemical Engineering Career For my career path I have chosen to become a chemical engineer. A chemical engineer is considered in my opinion to be a universal engineer‚ exploring all facets of life. The responsibilities of a chemical engineer can vary but first start with a problem that leads to an idea and then a hypothesis. Following those first steps includes a lot of research involving many check points along the way to ensure

Chemical Reactions and their Classifications 26 October 2012 Abstract: Ordinary laboratory ware was used to determine how many of what type of chemical reactions occurred. This yielded three decomposition reactions‚ four substitution reactions‚ and three metathesis reactions. Introduction There are many different types of chemical reactions in the study of chemistry; A composition reaction (also known as synthesis) is defined as the reaction that occurs when two single compounds combine in

BPA‚ is a carbon based synthetic compound belonging to the group of diphenylmethane derivatives and bisphenols. The chemical formula for BPA is (CH3)2C(C6H4OH)2. BPA was first synthesized in 1891‚ and was recognized as a synthetic estrogen in the 1930s. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of BPA in 1960 to manufacture certain plastics and epoxy resins. This chemical compound of synthetic estrogen is used to harden plastics and resins‚ while keeping them lightweight. BPA is found
