FUTURE OF CHEMICAL WARFARE INTRODUCTION Background 1. Chemical Warfare is a method of warfare in which toxic or incapacitating chemicals agents are used to further the goals of the combatants. The concept of Chemical Warfare is as old as warfare itself. Until the 20th century such warfare was primarily limited to starting fires‚ poisoning wells‚ distributing smallpox-infected articles‚ and using smoke to confuse the enemy. The most extensive and large-scale use of Chemical Weapons was witnessed

If a chemical reaction occurred‚ write a balanced equation for it. Then using the A‚ B symbols‚ write a general equation for a single-displacement reaction. Here are the chemical formulas of the reactants for each reaction: • zinc – Zn copper sulfate – CuSO4 • aluminum – Al copper sulfate – CuSO4 • zinc

we can learn to observe physical properties of varying substances as well as to use chemical reactions to observe chemical observe the chemical properties of varying substances. In experiment #1‚ we were able to detect physical properties of the aluminum and copper sulfate simply by looking at the substances. We then combined the two substances to see if they would create a chemical reaction and test the chemical properties. After being combined‚ bubbles and gas were created and the color of the

effectiveness at mass annihilation. Two of those weapons include chemical and biological weapons. These weapons are constructed solely to kill mass populations in the quickest amount of time as possible. Their most startling aspect is the cruelty in which lives are extinguished and brutalized. However‚ these two weapons are latently different. The definition of a chemical weapon is a weapon that uses any amount of toxic properties or chemical substances and that is intended to kill as an act of war. Biological

Chemical engineers today face a major dilemma when it comes to deciding what should hold paramount‚ economic gain or moral statute? Many practicing engineers are faced with problems that result from the consequences of their engineering decisions. Engineers have to realize the importance of proper engineering decisions and how one should act when faced with a problem such as deciding what comes first safety or economic gain. When faced with such a problem‚ engineers often employ the risk-benefit

Chemical Warfare Final Draft Do you think it’s right to use chemical toxins to harm or kill people who are defending‚ or fighting for their lives? I don’t and that is why I am aganist chemical warfare. There are other ways which can be used to defend your country without taking away the lives of many people in such a barbaric fashion. Chemical warfare takels many innocent lives even when they haven’t done anything wrong! Chemical warfare is a way of torturing people with nerve‚ blister‚ and choking
