Case 20: Diamond Chemicals plc (A) --PT07 Group 10 INTRODUCTION: Diamond Chemicals is a large worldwide chemicals producer with two factories in Liverpool England and Rotterdam Holland. Both of their plants were built in 1967 with annual output of 250‚000 metric tons polypropylene. Compare with low-cost producer‚ the production cost per ton is 1.09 which is a little bit high than competitors (see Exhibition 1). With the decline EPS from £60 in 1999 to £30 in 2000 and worldwide economic slowdown

WGP CHEMICAL COMPANY CASE STUDY 1. What is the total distribution cost for W-G-P Chemical Company? What is the cost per pound‚ cubic foot‚ case‚ line‚ and order? How can these measures contribute to the distribution review process? In order to calculate the total distribution cost‚ carrying cost must be calculated. Inventory carrying cost rate was given as 18%. The formula is Annual carrying cost=average inventory level * carrying cost rate Average inventory was given in table 4 as $90 million

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

lobe of the brain can cause an individual to develop different impulses and as well impulsive behavior (Schwartz‚ 2012). There are even disorders and illnesses such as Depression‚ Schizophrenia‚ and Bipolar Disorder believed to be the result of chemical imbalances in the brain. However‚ biological factors can also determine decisions and actions. Pharmaceutical medications have shown that people make different decisions when on the medications versus when not on them.

Naming Chemical Compounds General Information: Scientists all around the globe use a standard method for naming chemical compounds. The standards were set up by an international committee sponsored by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). Having this standard makes life easier for people who use these compounds everyday. It would be tough to set up any experiment if scientists everywhere used different names for the same compound. It would also make the lab a

CHM1022 Tutorial 2 – Semester 2‚ 2012 (Chemical Equilibria) 1. The reaction 2 HCl(g) +I2(s) [pic] 2 HI (g) + Cl2(g) has Kc = 1.0 x 10-34 at 25˚C. If a 1.00 L reaction vessel initially contains 0.100 mol of each HCl and solid I2‚ what are the concentrations of HI and Cl2 at equilibrium? 2. Consider the following gas-phase reaction and equilibrium constant at 25 oC: 4 HCl(g) + O2(g) [pic] 2 Cl2(g) + 2 H2O(g) The concentrations of all species were measured at a particular

The objective: In this experiment‚ I decided to find out how temperature would affect endothermic reactions compared to exothermic reactions. An endothermic reaction absorbs energy in the form of heat. This reaction feels cold because it is taking heat away from its surroundings. It also releases gases. An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases energy as heat. Since the energy is released‚ the exothermic reactions feel hot. Methods/Materials I did three experiments. I mixed lemon juice
