Chemistry of Fireworks By Anuradha Sahu Everyone enjoys the amazing firework shows on the Fourth of July with the beautiful vibrant colors and sparks every year. Fireworks have been part of this world for a very long time. They have been used for enjoyment and for signalling purposes. Every culture has their own significance and use of fireworks. But all fireworks have something in common; the chemistry that makes them work. No matter where you find them‚ they are made up of the same compounds

Chemistry of cosmetics Few people would whip out a chemistry set‚ uncork the vials‚ and slap the compounds on their face. Yet‚ millions of women and girls essentially do that every day when they unzip their makeup bags and apply lipstick‚ mascara‚ and other makeup. Like the compounds in a chemistry set‚ makeup consists of chemicals. Although the chemicals in cosmetic products are intended to improve the appearance of skin‚ lips‚ and lashes‚ some can cause adverse effects. Emulsions The majority

RULES OF MIXTURES FOR ELASTIC PROPERTIES The paper is about the rules of mixtures which are used to express the dependencies of the physical properties and mechanical properties which depend on type‚ form‚ quality and arrangement of its constituents‚ but they are based on various assumptions so one should with caution‚ especially if they are used anything more than preliminary design. The paper mainly concentrates on expressions for elastic properties which are as follows: Unidirectional Ply-

Title: Separation of a Mixture of Solids Purpose: Learn and demonstrate how to separate different ingredients from a mixture of solids using different methods based on the properties of each ingredient. Procedure: I weighed mixture and tools‚ and proceeded to begin separating each ingredient. I used a magnet to separate the iron from the mixture. Then I heated the mixture in water to get the non-soluble sand out. Then I filtered out the benzoic acid after cooling it into a crystal form

CONCEPTS IN ORGANIC CHEMISTRY • Inductive Effect : Inductive effect is defined as permanent displacement of shared electron pair in a carbon chain towards more electronegative atom or group. Types of Inductive effect : 1.Negative Inductive Effect : (—I effect‚ Electron withdrawing effect) when an electronegative atom or group (more electro negative than hydrogen)is attached to the terminal of the carbon chain in a compound‚ the electrons are displaced in the direction of the attached

O’Brien’s Honors Science class we conducted two experiments the Mixed Substances Lab and the Investigating Mixtures Lab. The objective of the Investigating Mixtures Lab was “To observe that not all liquids behave the same way when mixed with other liquids”. Before we started the lab we we each created a hypothesis mine was “If the water and vegetable oil are mixed and the two combine and make a mixture‚ then the vegetable oil will float and the water will sink”. This is the important information which

You can use a flashlight to help see if a mixture is a solution‚ a suspension‚ or colloid. A solution is a mixture that forms when substances dissolve and form a homogenous mixture. A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture that separates into layers over time. A colloid is a mixture that contains some particles that are intermediate in size between the small particles in a solution‚ and the larger particles in a suspension. A homogenous mixture is a mixture in which the substances are so evenly distributed
