Naming Chemical Formulas Chemical Nomenclature There are over 19 million known chemical substances. Without some type of system‚ naming these substances would be hopelessly complicated. The system used in naming substances is called chemical nomenclature. There are two major divisions to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) system: inorganic nomenclature organic nomenclature Organic compounds contain carbon‚ usually in combination with hydrogen‚ oxygen‚ nitrogen

Examination of Water and Wastewater 5210 BIOCHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND (BOD)*#(1) 5220 CHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND (COD)*#(2) 5220 A. Introduction Chemical oxygen demand (COD) is defined as the amount of a specified oxidant that reacts with the sample under controlled conditions. The quantity of oxidant consumed is expressed in terms of its oxygen equivalence. Because of its unique chemical properties‚ the dichromate ion (Cr2O72–) is the specified oxidant in Methods Section 5220B‚ Section

deals with matter‚ its composition‚ and changes they undertake. Chemistry has been part in our lives ever since. It contributes to our existence‚ our culture‚ and our life. Chemistry explains why changes happen around us. All living processes are chemical reactions. It helps in sustaining our needs. Through this we are able to feed the world’s population‚ medicines to cure diseases and improve health‚ and to protect our environment. Chemistry plays an important role in our lives. It contributes

This experiment was performed to demonstrate a cycle of chemical reactions involving copper. This lab will start with copper as a reactant in the first reaction through a series of five chemical forms of aqueous phase reactions and ending to calculate the percentage of recovered solid copper as a product in the last reaction of the experiment. The experiment resulted in a percent recovery from the cycle of copper reactions of an increase to 139%. . Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is

Chemistry Summary The particle theory: 1. Matter is made of tiny particles 2. Particles of matter are in constant motion 3. Particles of matter are held together by very strong electric forces 4. There are empty spaces between the particles of matter that are very large compared to the particles themselves. 5. Each substance has unique particles that are different from the particles of other substances 6. Temperature affects the speed of the particles. The

A Chemical change is any change that results in the formation of a new chemical substance. It is something that everyone learns about in school‚ but never really tries to see it in the real world. We all know the basic examples; baking a cake‚ burning wood… etc. What about the examples that are happening around us. For example‚ the Statue of Liberty has been through a chemical change. It was first a dull brown color‚ and now it is a green color. That happened due to a chemical change. During the

CHEM 1105 Experiment 4: Determination of a Chemical Formula Introduction When atoms of one element combine with those of another‚ the combining ratio is typically an integer or a simple fraction. The simplest formula of a compound expresses that atom ratio. When two or more elements are present in a compound‚ the formula still indicates the atom ratio. To find the formula of a compound we need to find the mass of each of the elements in a weighed sample of that compound. For example‚
