Redox Reactions Reactions involving oxidation and reduction processes are very important in our everyday world. They make batteries work and cause metals to corrode (or help to prevent their corrosion). They enable us to obtain heat by burning fuels--in factories and in our bodies. Many redox reactions are complex. However‚ combustion and synthesis (from elements) are two ordinary examples which require very little description. Just a little more involved are the displacement reactions‚ with

Corey‚ 2014 ). 9.2 The Miracle Question The following quote is Steve de Shazer’s miracle question: “Now‚ I want to ask you a strange question. Suppose that while you are sleeping tonight and the entire house is quiet‚ a miracle happens. The miracle is that the problem which brought you here is solved. However because you are sleeping‚ you don’t know that the miracle has happened. So‚ when you wake up tomorrow morning‚ what will be different that will tell you that a miracle has happened‚ and the

Assess Hume’s reasons for rejecting miracles Hume defined miracles as a “violation of the laws of nature” and consequently rejected their occurrence as both improbable and impractical. This view has been supported by modern scientists and philosophers such as Atkins‚ Dawkins and Wiles to a certain extent. However Aquinas‚ Tillich and Holland and Swinburne to a certain extent reject Hume’s reasons‚ instead arguing that miracles have a divine cause and that Hume’s arguments are weak. This essay

Aldol In this preparative lab‚ an aldol (trans-p-anisalacetophenone) was produced from the reaction between p-anisaldehyde and acetophenone with the presence sodium hydroxide. The reaction also showed the importance of an enolate and the role it played in the mechanism. Sodium hydroxide acts as a catalyst in this experiment and is chosen because of its basic conditions and pH. The acetophenone carries an alpha hydrogen that has a pKa between 18 and 20. This alpha hydrogen is acidic because of its

Title Experiment 17 Reaction Kinetics- Determination of the Activation Energy of the Reaction Between Oxalic Acid and Potassium Permanganate. Objective To determine the activation energy of the reaction between oxalic acid and potassium permanganate. Theory and Background Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that is required to activate atoms or molecules to a condition in which they can undergo chemical transformation or physical transport. In terms of the transition-state

BIOL2220 Lab 3: Hill Reaction Introduction In 1937‚ Robert Hill discovered that isolated chloroplasts can generate oxygen when they are illuminated in the presence of a suitable electron acceptor‚ even in the absence of carbon dioxide. This finding was a landmark in the study of photosynthesis because it established that the source of the electrons used in the light reactions is water. It also confirmed that the released oxygen is derived from water instead of carbon dioxide. In chloroplasts

ction paper Reaction Paper The play entitled ‘’Insect Talk’’ focused on the Global Warming issue and how it affects our ecosystem especially to insects. After watching this play‚ some thoughts about the effects of global warming enter to my mind. The negative effects of global warming are numerous‚ and we hear about them all of the time. As the earth warms‚ insects can more easily migrate to new areas. This creates a huge problem for the local environments‚ because the animals and other insects

precipitation reaction is‚ describe ways which one can predict whether a precipitation reaction would form or not‚ describe the uses of precipitation reactions in everyday activities and industries BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Precipitation is the formation of a solid in a solution during a chemical reaction‚ such as evaporation. A substance that causes precipitation when it is added to a solution is called a precipitant. This can occur when an insoluble substance is formed in the solution due to a reaction or

My Reaction to Transcendentalism After reading the Transcendentalist works of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau‚ I was surprised at my reaction to them. From what I had originally heard‚ the Transcendentalist works were boring essays. However‚ after reading them‚ I discovered that I can relate to many things that Emerson and Thoreau discuss in their papers. Though I liked Emerson more than I liked Thoreau‚ both of them impressed me with their ability to take such a strong stand on
