BIOPOL Biopol is a biopolymer that is an environmentally friendly biodegradable plastic made from renewable resources (made naturally in plants from starch and glucose). Biopol is the brand name for a group of biopolymers often called PHAs or PHBs. The continual use of petroleum to make polymers for plastic will eventually run out and hence Biopol was introduced as a polymer replacement for petroleum. It is made from an organic substance known as Alcaligenes eutrophus which is a microorganism.

Arenes The aromatic hydrocarbons also have the name arenes. They contain in their molecule one or more cycles made up from 6 carbon atoms. When the molecule is formed out of a single cycle‚ the hydrocarbons are mono nucleuses; when the molecule contains more than one cycle‚ the hydrocarbons are poly nucleuses. The simplest aromatic hydrocarbon‚ benzene‚ is compound out of just one such cycle; its formula is C6H6. The representation of benzene through a cycle of 6 carbon atoms with 3 double bounds

Introduction Silver is a chemical element with atomic number 47 and symbol Ag. It is white‚ soft‚ mallable and ductile metal slightly harder than gold. Silver is extremely flexible‚ this means that it can be converted into both flat sheets and electrical wire. This makes silver is an ideal metal for all kinds of industrial use. Silver occurs in lead‚ Zinc and copper ore deposits. Lead ore is the main source of Silver. In fact‚ 75% of the resources in the world are found in association with other

Then you drop the Alka-Seltzer in the water and time how long it takes it to dissolve in the water. 3. Then we need to make the temperature go up then we need to drop the Alka-Seltzer in the water again and see how long it takes it to dissolve with the new temperature. 4. Now

Chocolate is made from the cacao bean. According to Rodney Lipson‚ “Cacao has been a cultivated crop for at least three thousand years‚ probably quite a bit more. The people who first utilized Cacao were the inhabitants of what is now Venezuela” (Lipson) This group of people would eventually spread the cacao bean in northwestern South America. Cacao was clearly highly valued by these people and they spread it northward through trade with their neighbors. It was probably the Maya‚ over 1500 years

Lab 5 Column Chromatography: Isolation of Lycopene from Tomato Paste Reading: Zubrick‚ pages 79-82‚ 127-130‚ 138-139‚ 141-143‚ and 235-240 Pre-lab: look up the structure of lycopene. Introduction: Lycopene is the red pigment in ripe tomatoes and‚ as an antioxidant‚ helps to fight certain cancers. In this lab you will isolate lycopene from tomato paste. To do this you will first extract carotenoid pigments from the paste and then use column chromatography to isolate the lycopene from

9/19/2012 Experiment #1-Density Aim: Learn how the process of distillation occurs. Observe how distillation separates alcohol from wine. Method: Distillation is based on the fact that the matter can exist in three phases - - solid‚ liquid and gas. As the temperature of a pure substance is increased‚ it passes through these phases‚ making a transition at a specific temperature from solid to liquid (melting point--mp) and then at a higher temperature from liquid to gas (boiling point--bp).

Alpha amylase is an enzyme that aids in the breakdown of starch and glycogen to form glucose and maltose through the hydrolyses of alpha linked polysaccharides1. Starch is a complex carbon and is the main energy storage material found in plants and some bacteria. It is a major component of food as it supplies plants with energy and carbon. Starch consists of two types of polysaccharides called amylose and amylopectin1.The properties of starch can depend on the number of alpha 1‚4 glycosidic bonds
