SOUTHFIELD SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM “Grooming the New Breed of Leaders in the Seafaring Industry” I Background The Baltic and International Maritime Council (BIMCO) and International Shipping Federation (ISF) 2005 Update shows that in the year 2005‚ the world demand for seafarers was at 1‚059‚000. 476‚000 of which were for officers while the remaining 586‚000 were ratings. In the same year‚ the actual supply for officers was at 466‚000 and supply of ratings was 721‚000. Using these figures‚ it can

I. Introduction There are two types of chemical reaction that occur one goes only in one direction and the other one is reversible. A reversible reaction is when a products starts to form the backward reaction starts where the products turns back to reactant molecules. When the rate of forward and backward reaction is already equal and the concentrations of the reactants and products no longer change with time we can say that chemical equilibrium is already achieved. A reaction is said to be at

Physical and Chemical Changes Say you are presented with two beakers‚ beaker A and beaker B‚ each containing a white‚ powdery compound. * a. From your initial observations‚ you suspect that the two beakers contain the same compound. Describe‚ in general terms‚ some experiments in a laboratory that you could do to help prove or disprove that the beakers contain the same compound. You may try some of the followings: * Dissolving in water * Dissolving in different chemical solution

Introduction: A chemical reaction is formed of reactants and products. Reactants react with each other to give one or more product. Sometimes we can visualize observations that are characteristic of the reaction. Like for example a release of a gas (bubbles are formed) or a change of color or also the formation of a precipitate. Materiel needed: Test tubes Rack of test tubes Plastic droppers Beakers Procedure: We prepare 7 beakers of 7 different solutions (that we mark from 1→ 7)

chemically convert the substance into nutrients. It usually involves mechanical manipulation and chemical action. Mechanical Digestion What is it? This type of digestion involves the mixing‚ grinding or crushing of large pieces of food into smaller places. Why does it take place? So that the food we consume is broken down into smaller pieces before we swallow it which in turn makes process of chemical digestion that takes place later on more effective because it works more efficiently on

Lecture No. 1 Chemical Kinetics 1.1 The Rate of a Reaction Chemical Kinetics is the area of Chemistry that is concerned with the speed‚ rate or mechanism at which a chemical reaction occurs. Reaction Rate is the change in the concentration of a reactant or product with time (i.e. M/s). It measures how fast a reactant is consumed and how fast a product is formed. 1.2 WRITING RATE EXPRESSIONS Consider the following hypothetical reaction. A + 2B ( 3C + D Rate = - rate
