reactants used and the amounts of products formed in a chemical reaction”. Basically‚ Stoichiometry is the science of counting and studying the relationship between the amounts of the reactants to the product. To think of stoichiometry outside of chemistry‚ imagine a bookshelf. To assemble the bookshelf you may need 3 planks of wood‚ 1 giant plank of wood‚ and 20 nails. Even though the amount of the reactants is high‚ the product would be only one bookshelf. Stoichiometry is basically studying the

Unlike the brain where a person can continue to be “alive” without any electrical activity‚ without a heartbeat‚ a person cannot live. The average person doesn’t ever think about how or why their hearts lub dub every minute of every day until they die. For someone whose heart doesn’t beat properly‚ the lub dub is a frequent worry.

The Chemistry of Lipids Experiment #8 Objective To observe the solubility of lipids in polar and nonpolar solvents and to compare saturated and unsaturated fats in their chemical reaction with bromine. The percent fat in a food will be determined by extraction of the fat and weighing it. Introduction Lipids‚ by definition‚ are natural substances that do not mix with water but dissolve in organic solvents. There are several classes of lipids‚ including: fatty acids‚ waxes‚ triacylglycerols

August 22‚ 2013 Assignment 1: The Chemistry of Life Effects of Acid Rain There are many different types of negative effects acid rain has on the world. Acid rain is the mixture of wet and dry deposition from the atmosphere containing higher than normal amounts of nitric and sulfuric acids. Pollution contributes to the forming of acid rain. One of the main causes is industrial burning of coal and other fossil fuels the oxides they contain and combine with atmospheric water which forms acids.

describe the number of electrons the atom will gain or lose during a reaction. Each atom in an equation can be assigned an oxidation number according to certain rules. If the oxidation number of an atom increases as you go from the left side to the right side if an equation‚ oxidation has occurred (electrons have been lost); if the oxidation number decreases‚ reduction has occurred (electrons have been gained).
