Pharmacognosy is the study of drugs of natural origin. The term comes from two Greek words: "pharmakon" meaning drug or medicine‚ and "gnosis" meaning knowledge. The American Society of Pharmacognosy defines pharmacognosy as "the study of the physical‚ chemical‚ biochemical and biological properties of drugs‚ drug substances or potential drugs or drug substances of natural origin as well as the search for new drugs from natural sources". Plant preparations are said to be medicinal or herbal when they

Introduction Chemical Kinetics‚ described as the study of rate of chemical processes‚ varies on many factors to determine the time needed for a reaction to complete. The rate of reaction of a chemical reaction is important‚ as reactions are of little use if the time period needed for the reaction to occur is too lengthy. Many factors influence the rate of a chemical reaction‚ such as temperature‚ concentration and surface area. The order of the reaction is based on the concentration of the reactants

Observations of Chemical Changes Page. 14 Objectives: The objectives of this experiment are: 1. To observe some properties of chemical reactions 2. to associate chemical properties with household products Background Information: Chemical changes are often accompanied by physical changes. Three that you should not see in this lab are changes in temperature‚ presence of a flame‚ and evolution of light‚ as when as firefly glows. Three physical changes that indicate a chemical change may have

I was assigned was the element Manganese. The symbol for manganese is Mn. It is number 25 on the periodic table. That means it has 25 protons and electrons even on mars or anywhere you go it will have the same protons and electrons. The atomic number would also be 25. It has 30 neutrons also in in the nucleus. The melting point for Manganese would be 1519 K (1246°C or 2275°F). The boiling point would be 1519 K (1246°C or 2275°F) according to http://education.jlab.org/. It also could be 1245.0 °C

There are many types of chemical reactions‚ five general ones of which I will be describing. Chemical changes are a result of chemical reactions. All chemical reactions involve a change in substances and a change in energy. Neither matter nor energy is created or destroyed in a chemical reaction‚ only changed. There are so many chemical reactions that it is helpful to classify them into 5 general types‚ which include the following: synthesis‚ combustion‚ decomposition‚ single-replacement‚ and double-replacement

The purpose of the lab was to find out the chemical elements based on the color of the flame that elements make by their reaction. The work we completed in the lab was testing the chemical effects of the flame from the chemicals. We tested different elements and wrote down our observations. I accomplished the knowledge of testing chemicals and making responses based on our observations.Electrons are the particles found in the chemicals that may be responsible for the production of colored light.

Chemical and Biological Weapons are Your FriendsAs we go on our daily lives‚ terrorists are buying and developing dangerous and hazardous biological and chemical weapons to obliterate us. They do not care who they harm; their mission is to cause terror‚ to spread chaos‚ to engulf the world in anarchy. They want to know that they are making people terminally ill and sick. They will be enjoying a job well done while your skin is covered with excruciating painful blisters‚ or while you tell your loved

Summer Mitchell 10/04/13 Analysis and Conclusion 1. Why was the water tested for each of the initial chemical tests? The water was tested for each initial chemical test because it served as the controlled variable. Since water is pure oxygen and hydrogen unlike Glucose and Starch‚ one variable may be observed. 2. Biuret reagent will turn your skin brownish-purple. Explain why this occurs. Biuret reagent will turn your skin a brownish-purple because Iodine detects protein in a substance
