like independence day. The excitement produced by fireworks like ‚ brightening the night sky and plunging it with vivid displays of colour and insignificant‚ which makes them a crowd pleaser. Behind all the excitement of fireworks‚ chemistry plays an important role in creating the vivid colours we witness lighting up the sky. The actual chemical reactions that take place in the explosions require the use of oxidisers‚ reducing agents and binders. The additions of varying metal chlorides add the

values that have trailing zeros only to the left of the decimal point are ambiguous and should be expressed in scientific notation. We must take note that the chemistry textbook (Silberberg 6e) states that placing a decimal point to the right of some trailing zeros (example: 300.) will make the zeros significant. However in General Chemistry‚ we do not follow this rule. If we want to write a whole number with trailing zeros we must use scientific notation to show which zeros are significant. When

Chemistry 121 Colligative Properties Lab Demonstration of Selected Calculations from Choice I Determination of Kf for Naphthalene To determine the Kf for naphthalene‚ we need to find the difference in the freezing point of pure naphthalene and the solution of 1‚4-dichlorobenzene in naphthalene. Let’s say that we did this experiment‚ used 1.00 g 1‚4-dichlorobenzene in 10.00 g naphthalene‚ and found that the freezing temperature of pure naphthalene was 78.2°C‚ while that of the solution was 75

What is Research? The Role of the Supervisor in the development of research project As Maxim says “All progress is born of inquiry. Doubt is often better than overconfidence‚ for it leads to inquiry‚ and inquiry leads to invention” (Kothari‚ 3) .This means that doubt gives place to inquiry and inquiry to invention. When this inquiry becomes the part of a systematic investigation‚ is called research. Each research has three basic components: Student‚ Topic‚ and Supervisor. All these are

reactants used and the amounts of products formed in a chemical reaction”. Basically‚ Stoichiometry is the science of counting and studying the relationship between the amounts of the reactants to the product. To think of stoichiometry outside of chemistry‚ imagine a bookshelf. To assemble the bookshelf you may need 3 planks of wood‚ 1 giant plank of wood‚ and 20 nails. Even though the amount of the reactants is high‚ the product would be only one bookshelf. Stoichiometry is basically studying the
