1. You don’t have to be a chem whiz * Chemical engineering requires a basic understanding of chemistry‚ physics‚ math. You’re not required to memorize formulas‚ it’s more important to understand the principles and learn how to apply them to solve a problem/improve status quo. However after a few semesters‚ your brain WILLremember many formulas! * You do need to be analytical and have the ability to think critically. You must be able to look at the problem from a bigger viewpoint but

Steven Leung 9/19/06 Lab Report The Empirical Formula of a Copper Oxide Purpose: To convert an unknown copper oxide to copper (Cu) metal using natural gas to provide a reducing environment as shown below: Cu O (s) + CH (g) ¨ Cu (s) + Co (g) + H O (g) From the mass difference between the unknown copper oxide and the Cu metal generated at the completion of the reaction and the molar mass of Cu and oxygen‚ the empirical formula of the original copper oxide can be calculated. Materials:

eye is to be one of the fastest hunters of prey on Earth. The twenty two fleshy tentacles attached to the nose of the Star-nosed Mole are incredibly sensitive to touch and aid the mole in capturing prey. Just how beneficial is the snout of a Star-nosed Mole exactly? They could touch a pin head with their nose six hundred times at once. Crazy enough in a single day‚ this mole can consume up to its own body weight in worms and insects. They as well dig tunnels underground and are a valuable aspect to

Homework 2 Solution Key Problem 1. Suppose that you sell short 500 shares of Intel‚ currently selling for $40 per share‚ and you give your broker $15‚000 to establish your margin account. Assume Intel pays no dividends. a) If you earn no interest on the funds in your margin account‚ what will be your rate of return after one year if Intel stock is selling at (i) $44; (ii) $40; (iii) $36? The gain or loss on the short position is 500 P . Invested funds are $15‚000. Therefore‚ your rate

INTRODUCTION TO CHEMICAL BONDS CHEMICAL BOND Definition: A chemical bond is defined as a force that acts between two or more atoms to hold them together as a stable molecule. Main types of bond: 1. Ionic or electrovalent bond‚ 2. Covalent bond‚ 3. Coordinate covalent bond Forth type of bond: Metallic bond: The type of bonding which holds the atoms together in metal crystal. Valence electron: The electrons in the outer most energy level in an atom that takes part in chemical bonding
