it often appears as a fine powder‚ its chemical name is NaHCO3. It is used to increase the volume of baked goods. It has a slightly salty‚ alkaline taste resembling that of washing soda (sodium carbonate). (1) Baking Powder Baking Powder is also a dry leavening agent which is a mixture of a weak alkali and a weak acid; it increases the volume and lightens the texture of baked goods. Baking powder works by releasing carbon dioxide

ASSIGNMENT 4: Final paper Investigate a Social Issue By June 07th ‚ 2014 SOC 100 Instructor: Professor NAZER In recent years‚ the relationship between crime and economy crises has been highly studied by economies and has sparked up interest among members of the general public‚ the media‚ policy makers‚ and criminal justice practitioners. Although there are many conflicting ideas on how the economy downturn affects crime rates‚ it is reasonable to study

Some metals react with acids while others do not. In this experiment‚ students will perform 2 reactions: aluminum/zinc with excess 6M hydrochloric acid and aluminum-zinc alloy with excess 6M hydrochloric acid. The purpose of this experiment is to determine the atomic mass of each metal and the percent composition of a known mass aluminum-zinc alloy by determining the moles of H2 gas formed. Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g) 1 mole of H2(g) is produced for every 1 mole of Zn(s) 2. 2Al(s)

PROPERTIES OF SOLUTIONS A solution is a mixture of materials‚ one of which is usually a fluid. A fluid is a material that flows‚ such as a liquid or a gas. The fluid of a solution is usually the solvent. The material other than the solvent is the solute. We say that we dissolve the solute into the solvent. Some solutions are so common to us that we give them a unique name. A solution of water and sugar is called syrup. A solution of sodium chloride (common table salt) in water is called brine

KENNECOTT COPPER CORPORATION CASE REPORT 1. Analyze the economic rationale of the Carborundum acquisition. Under what conditions an acquisition would be expected to add to shareholder value in general? Do any of these reasons apply to Carborundum acquisition? Prior to the consideration of Carborundum as an acquisition target‚ Kennecott‚ a copper company‚ pursued an acquisition of Peabody‚ a coal company‚ for $285 million in cash in 1968. There are two main rationales behind the acquisition of

Redox Reactions Reactions involving oxidation and reduction processes are very important in our everyday world. They make batteries work and cause metals to corrode (or help to prevent their corrosion). They enable us to obtain heat by burning fuels--in factories and in our bodies. Many redox reactions are complex. However‚ combustion and synthesis (from elements) are two ordinary examples which require very little description. Just a little more involved are the displacement reactions‚ with

Graphene replaced with copper Graphene nanoribbons have a current-carrying capacity two orders of magnitude higher than copper Recent research into the properties of graphene nanoribbons provides two new reasons for using the material for interconnects in future computer chips. In widths as narrow as 16 nm‚ graphene has a current-carrying capacity approximately a thousand times greater than copper while providing improved thermal conductivity. The current-carrying and heat-transfer measurements

Copper Mining in Zambia Norman Mulimbwa Shachile WHUT‚ Luoshi Rd.‚ International students building No.8‚ Wuhan‚ 430070‚ PR China Abstract The mining industry has been the economic and social backbone in Zambia since the first major phase of exploitation of the Copperbelt ’s Cu-CO deposits commenced in the early 1930 ’s. Since that time a wide spectrum of other metalliferous and non-metalliferous resources have been discovered in Zambia and although exploitation of these has been limited‚ they
