If you’re a “happy drunk” you probably don’t have bad alcoholism in your family‚ and you can control your drinking with the attitudes it may drag along. While on the other hand if you’re an “angry drunk” you may not be

Chemical Kinetic Models Simplified Global Chemical Kinetic Model In order to compare the two reactors used in our experiment‚ a simplified global kinetic model was used to describe the DRM reaction behavior in different plasma reactor. This model was already used by authors in the field of pollutant removal by using a plasma reactor [15‚ 21–23]. It is generally accepted that free radical processes are the main mechanisms in non-equilibrium plasma reaction [21‚ 24-25]. The chemical kinetics model

CHEMICAL KINETICS RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The balanced equation of the reaction between sodium thiosulfate and Hydrochloric acid is: S2O32- (aq) + 2 H+ (aq) SO2 (g) + S (s) +H2O (l) Using beakers with the same diameter was very important in conducting the experiment. If different sizes were used‚ the visibility of the “x” on the paper beneath the beaker could disappear from view too early or too late than the hypothetical time depending on the depth of the solution. It was also significant

Matt Feldman Mr. Mosher AP Bio 12/6/2012 The Metabolism of Alcohol This article describes the process the liver undergoes to breakdown the alcohol in your blood stream. Also it discusses the consequences of heavy drinking and the damage it causes to your body. The only cells in our body that can metabolize ethanol are in our liver. In the cells NAD+ oxidizes the ethanol to acetic acid‚ which generates an excess amount of NADH‚ which gives its electrons to the ETC. Then Oxidative phosphorylation

Combustion Of Alcohols Planning This investigation involves burning alcohol in the air. Key science- Chemistry by Eileen Ramsden says that " an alcohol is a series of organic‚ homologous compounds‚ with the general formula Cn H2n+1OH". The alcohol reacts with the oxygen in the air to form the products water and carbon dioxide: Cn H2n+1OH +(n+n/2)-1O2 ? nH2O + nCO2 The structure of the molecules in this reaction is: H H | | H - C - C - O- H + 3[O=O] ? 1/2[O=C=O] + 3[H-O-H] | | H H This reaction
