“A brief history of chemical warfare” By Harold Maass For more than 2‚000 years. As early as 600 B.C.‚ the Athenians poisoned the wells of the Spartans‚ who later tried lobbing burning sulfur pitch over the walls of Athens‚ hoping to fill the city with toxic smoke. Genghis Khan used that same trick‚ catapulting burning sulfur pitch during his siege of fortified cities around A.D. 1200.

Overview Chemical Warfare is using the chemical properties of a substance to your advantage during war. This has been going on for centuries. Even the most basic forms of weapons were used. People have been putting poison on the end of their spears and arrows since they have been around. Over the years‚ it has also developed into much more advanced chemistry. In this article‚ I am going to focus on the more advanced‚ modern uses of chemical warfare in World War I and World War II. World War

Analysis of a Chemical Reaction Purpose: To observe a chemical reaction and to use qualitative and quantitative evidence to identify this reaction from among four possibilities. Hypothesis: I think the result is going to produce water. I think this is going to happen because there is hydrogen and oxygen inNaHCO3. Materials: -Test tube clamp - 150 mm test tubes (2) - burner - retort stand - clay triangle - iron ring - crucible Procedure: Part A: 1. Add 0.5 g of NaHCO3
