“A brief history of chemical warfare” By Harold Maass For more than 2‚000 years. As early as 600 B.C.‚ the Athenians poisoned the wells of the Spartans‚ who later tried lobbing burning sulfur pitch over the walls of Athens‚ hoping to fill the city with toxic smoke. Genghis Khan used that same trick‚ catapulting burning sulfur pitch during his siege of fortified cities around A.D. 1200. Over the centuries‚ various armies put poisons on arrows and in bullets to make them more lethal. But it wasn’t

Classes of Chemical Reactions Whenever a reaction takes place‚ energy is changed as well when the substances react chemically. Scientists have taken these changes in energy and generalized them. Scientists can take these generalizations and discover more about the nature and tendencies of matter. In this lab‚ the purpose was to perform seven reactions‚ write down their equations‚ and identify the type of reaction. In this lab report‚ several methods of displaying this information will be applied

Name: Keziah V. Cuyom Section: 9 - Malaya Topic: Types of Chemical Reaction A chemical reaction is a process that is usually characterized by a chemical change in which the starting materials (reactants) are different from the products. Chemical reactions tend to involve the motion of electrons‚ leading to the formation and breaking of chemical bonds. There are several different types of chemical reactions and more than one way of classifying them. Here are some common reaction types. However‚ if

experiment provides some very important information concerning the reaction of different solutions on the chemical weathering of the rocks. By comparing the change in mass and composition of the rocks kept in distilled water‚ soda water‚ and different concentrations of vinegar‚ it could be concluded that the acidity of the solution was what played the prime role in the speed of the chemical weathering. The first cup‚ containing 50% vinegar solution‚ had a starting pH of 3 and a beginning mass of

Overview Chemical Warfare is using the chemical properties of a substance to your advantage during war. This has been going on for centuries. Even the most basic forms of weapons were used. People have been putting poison on the end of their spears and arrows since they have been around. Over the years‚ it has also developed into much more advanced chemistry. In this article‚ I am going to focus on the more advanced‚ modern uses of chemical warfare in World War I and World War II. World War

Experiment 1: Observations of Chemical Changes Abstract: In the lab 1 experiment‚ the objective was to observed properties of various chemical reactions between twelve different basic compounds. Each reaction revealed chemical properties consisting of color change‚ CO2 gas formation‚ and/or precipitate formation. Certain reactions made it possible to distinguish between an acid and a base. Through the results of this experiment‚ chemical properties observed in the reactions could be used to associate
