Plastics are typically organic polymers of high molecular mass‚ but they often contain other substances. They are usually synthetic‚ most commonly derived from petrochemicals‚ but many are partially natural. ADVANTAGES OF PLASTIC: • Advantages of plastic are light in weight. • They can be easily moulded and have

Are People the "Puppets of Society"? Student Notes 2 ARE PEOPLE THE "PUPPETS OF SOCIETY"? What makes people behave in the ways they do? Are their actions determined by forces beyond their immediate control or are they able to choose and select their behaviour with an element of free choice?

spinach leaves and extract the chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments by using acetone as the solvent. The chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments were extracted by using column chromography and alumina was used as the solvent. Solvents of different polarities were used‚ starting with the least polar‚ to extract the certain components from the leaves. They were then analyzed by using thin- layer chromatography. Procedure: The first part of the experiment dealt with breaking down the spinach leaves in a

Extraction of Caffeine from Tea Leaves Introduction Caffeine is soluble in boiling water and as a result it is easily extracted from tea bags by steeping in hot water. This process leaves behind the water insoluble portions of the tea bag. However‚ water extracts more than just caffeine‚ so a final separation is done with an organic solvent that will dissolve primarily caffeine. The organic solvent used in this experiment is Dichloromethane (CH₂Cl₂). Dichloromethane is less polar than water

As a nursing student‚ I learned to shave patients in preparation for surgery; as a public health nurse‚ I taught mothers to clean their infants’ umbilical cords with alcohol and showed patients newly diagnosed with diabetes how to wipe the skin with alcohol before injecting insulin. Since then‚ high-quality research has shown that pre-operative shaving increases rather than decreases post-operative infections (Kjonniksen et al. 2002)‚ that cleaning umbilical cords with sterile water shortens the

Equilibrium is the state in which the competing influences of a system are balanced. In this experiment‚ four activities were conducted to study equilibrium namely Equilibrant Force‚ First Condition for Equilibrium‚ Locating the Center of Gravity and Second Condition of Equilibrium. The % Error obtained for the following activities were 14.13% and 2.35% for Activity 1‚ 4.90% for Activity 2 and 7.52% for Activity 4. Friction is the resistance to motion of one object moving relative to another

how to strengthen our homelands’ security by tightening up on our nations’ borders and transports. The present state of immigration in this country is abhorrent to say the least. We allow millions of illegal immigrants into this country from all over the world by several modes of transportation. I actually travelled to Juarez‚ Mexico in 2007. I accepted a contract to work in Iraq to do UXO clean-up and had to do all of my deployment processing at Fort Bliss‚ Texas. While at
