Brittany Butler and Nick Schuchardt MBA 633 Position Paper The Oil Industry: "Why Companies Are Not Getting a Fair Shake" Within the last two years‚ the oil industry has increased the price of oil causing gas prices to rise to $3.00 a gallon today. It was only a few years ago that the price of gas was $1.00 a gallon. There have been many complaints against the oil industry on price gauging and monopolizing the industry. Oil companies are reaching sales up to $100 billion and they are seeing

Acid in the human stomach When people refer to acid they usually see it as a corrosive liquid that can dissolve metals or change the color of a substance. So they think of acid as a dangerous matter for the body and believe it can easily dissolve your skin. What I have previously listed are indeed properties of certain acids‚ such as Hydrofluoric Acid which can cause irreversible tissue damage if it comes in contact with skin‚ but not all acids are this strong. As a matter of fact what a lot of

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. Introduction: Chemical kinetics is the study of chemical reaction rates‚ how reaction rates are controlled and the pathway or mechanism by which a reaction proceeds from its reactants to its products. Reaction rates vary from the very fast‚ which

First‚ the base was created‚ which was made out of 1.00 g of NaOH and D-water. Then the buret was attached to the clamp on the ring stand and the base was poured into the buret. After that‚ one by one‚ an aspirin tablet was dropped

a nucleic acid is transferred to messenger RNA‚ which escapes the nucleus into a protein. According to the DNA and protein article DNA is used in many things but DNA is used to make pol-peptides. They are another word for proteins. When a cell makes a protein the direction are resembled from the part of an DNA. DNA strand and transcript combine to make RNA. RNA molecules carries the directions from the nucleus to ribosomes to make proteins. There are two main steps to make protein from DNA they are

The hypothesis If a chemical reaction occurs‚ then there will be indicators of a chemical change‚ was supported throughout this experiment. Throughout this experiment there were several reactions that took place‚ and an indicator of such chemical reactions could be seen throughout each one. The first piece of identifiable evidence was present in the first step‚ which was when copper (II) nitrate and sodium hydroxide were combined. When stirred‚ a blue precipitate formed at the bottom of the test

will discuss specific details and passages in two of the assigned readings. You must pull your support from two of these texts: Beard‚ White‚ Sanders‚ Slouka‚ Burroughs‚ Hurd‚ Morano. Identifying and selecting relevant supporting details is analysis‚ and integrating those details into your essay to support your thesis is synthesis. Your essay—with your original thesis and the details you’ve chosen from the two essays—is a new‚ unique whole. The integration of your thesis‚ your supporting details‚ and

Measurement in Fats and Oils. Introduction : Vegetable oil is an important and widely used lipid source for our everyday food products. Its application is increasing day by day for food purposes and for the manufacturing of a number of toiletry products. However‚ some vegetable oils are not up to standards to meet consumer satisfaction in terms of their physico-chemical properties or for the texture and stability of the food products (Reyes- Hernandez et al.‚ 2007). Recently‚ palm oil has become the

EXP-10 CHEM 233L SYNTHESIS OF p-BROMOANILINE Introduction: In this experiment‚ p-bromoaniline was synthesized in three steps starting from aniline. Since the amino group of aniline is a strong activator of aromatic ring‚ direct bromination is impractical (equation 1). In order to make a desired product‚ amino group needed to be protected as the acetamide which also maintained ortho and para position but slowed down the rate of reaction (equation 2). Slow reaction rate would increase the
