Molecular Modeling Exercise The purpose of the is lab was to practice modeling molecules and exploring the capabilities of the ChemOffice programs. The minimum energy was found for each of the three molecules tested and the strain energy at different dihedral angles was plotted. The first molecule‚ butane‚ was easily completed but amphetamine and U4EA caused some difficulty. The results of the last two were not very conclusive. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this lab was to explore the capabilities

affective weight loss program that helps maintain and also supports the people who are overweight and obese. The United States of America has the highest rates in the world of overweight people (68% of the US population) and obesity (34% of the population). According to a new report by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)‚ 1 in 10 people are obese worldwide! I will be comparing and contrasting Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers for being the best two methods for weight loss programs

This involves all the metabolic processes taking place In the body as well as the blood‚ tissue fluid and all the contents in the body ’s cells. There are a range of variables from heart rate to the blood glucose levels that the body will take into account. Negative feedback will occur when something changes from its normal in the body. The body then will come

MOLECULAR FARMING INTRODUCTION Biotechnology in agriculture has two categories: 1. “Improvements” to existing livestock and crops‚ and 2. Development of entirely new uses for both animals and plants (biopharming). “Improvements"‚ include ‘input traits’ such as crops with extra resistance to insect attack‚ improved weed control‚ increase the plants tolerance to cold‚ drought and other environmental factor. Ex "Roundup ready" soya‚ "Starlite" corn‚ or "Frost-tolerant" tomatoes. WHY PLANTS

MOLECULAR MODELING 1. Objectives ● Predictthe shape of identified compounds; ● Construct molecular models of identified compounds; and ●Determine the molecular structure of identified compounds. 2. Theory Building models of molecules are useful for visualizing how atoms are connected in three-dimensional space called molecular geometry‚ which is best predicted by Valence-Shell Electron-Pair Repulsion (VSPER) theory. The following are the sets of rules summarizing thsi theory: ●

METHODOLOGY After formulating the hypothesis that the molecular weight affects the rate of diffusion‚ three different kinds of substances --potassium permanganate (KMNO4)‚ potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) and methylene blue (C16H18N3SCl)‚ were used to test the validity of the hypothesis. Potassium permanganate is an inorganic chemical compound which is in violet liquid form; potassium dichromate is an orange inorganic chemical reagent and methylene blue is a chemical compound commonly used for staining

Molecular modelling is the general term used to describe the use of computers to construct molecules and perform a variety of calculations on these molecules in order to predict their chemical characteristics and behaviour. The term molecular modelling is often used synonymously with the term computational chemistry. Computational chemistry is a broader term‚ referring to any use of computers to study chemical systems. Some chemists use the term computational quantum chemistry to refer to the use

Determining Order from Rates of Reactions AP Chemistry Purpose The focus of this experiment is to recognize that when aqueous solutions of potassium iodate ion (KIO3-) and bisulfite ion (HSO3-) are mixed‚ a series of reactions will occur‚ and the final reaction is signaled by the appearance of a dark blue color. My partners and I investigate how the concentration of the reactants affects the rate of reaction. The purpose of this lab is to find
