Stopping Organic Spoilage Grocery owners‚ how much spoilage did you report last year? Anywhere from 15 to 35% of your sales come from produce and fresh vegetables. By my calculations somewhere around 10% or more is thrown out and reported as a loss each year. That is millions of dollars in profits lost from spoilage that can be prevented. Organic spoilage‚ and lack of rotation in stock and merchandise is totally preventable with the introduction of my new system. It is a simple combination of

Polymer Chemistry Classification of Polymers – Notes prepared by The most common way of classifying polymers is to separate them into three groups - thermoplastics‚ thermosets‚ and elastomers5. The thermoplastics can be divided into two types - those that are crystalline and those that are amorphous. You may click on the words in the diagram below to learn more about these classifications. Thermoplastics Molecules in a thermoplastic are held together by relatively weak intermolecular

Standardize a solution of potassium manganate(VII) by an iron (II) salt (ammonium iron (II) sulphate) Introduction Oxidation numbers 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

objective of this experiment was to carry an organic synthesis; the preparation of salicylic acid from methyl salicylate. To do an organic synthesis‚ it is needed to chemically modify the molecules of another compound to end up with the desire compound. Methyl salicylate is the major constituent of wintergreen oil‚ which is why it was used in this experiment as the starting material. The new technique used in this experiment is heating under reflux. Many organic compounds‚ when heated become volatile and

The chemistry of hairspray What is hairspray: introduction Hair spray (or hair lacquer) is a common household aqueous solution that is used to keep hair stiff or in a certain style. Weaker than hair gel‚ hair wax‚ or glue‚ it is sprayed to hold styles for a short period of time. Using a pump or aerosol spray nozzle it sprays evenly over the hair. Hairspray was first developed and manufactured in 1948 by Chase Products Company‚ based in Broadview‚ Illinois.Its active ingredient is a suitable
