Reducing agent

Agent Orange Having spent 10 weeks in Vietnam, I felt a personal connection to Agent Orange as well as the effects it had on the country. This connection is what motivated my research and my desire to bring attention to the subject. Agent Orange was an herbicide used during the Vietnam War in the 1960s. It was used by the United States military who intended to gain an advantage in the war by spraying the chemical over the dense jungles of Vietnam. The military hoped that this would deprive the…

“You made very sharp-witted decisions on today’s surveillance case, Agent Smith. Without you on the job I don't know if we would have been successful,” announced Agent Nelson. “Thank you, you did a wonderful job managing the team,” Agent Smith responded. Aiden Smith, known as Agent Smith, is a surveillance specialist for the FBI. He works at the FBI Headquarters in Washington D.C., and his job is extremely important to him. Everyday he observes suspicious areas through hidden security…

The purpose of the experiment is to perform a series of chemical reactions involving copper. The goal is then to perform precipitation, acid-base, decomposition, and redox reactions using the copper cycle. The mass of the copper was then analyzed using the percent recovery formula. Reaction 1: The Formation of Cu(NO3)2: Reaction 1 of the experiment involved performing a redox reaction to create Cu(NO3)2. Immediately after HNO3 was added to the copper wire (Cu), the brown NO2 gas was emitted from…

When trying to determine whether someone is an agent, child or not, there are many ways to come to a conclusion. A method that I am a fan of is to define ‘agent’ and then see if the subject will fit the definition. Agent as defined by our text book, is ‘A person who acts freely and knowingly’. Free will is defined by our textbook as “the power of acting without the constraint; the ability to act at one's own will, a gift from God’. In order for this to be true, you must have the ability to make…

Anthony Alvarado Bio 1A Chronic oxidative stress via hydroxyl radical and imbalanced redox homeostasis Redox hemostasis has been shown to be an important factor in the overall aging and neurodegeneration processes in mammalian models; such as, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. As a result, redox homeostasis has been a key point of interest in current research. Redox homeostasis is the balance between electrophiles and nucleophiles in a system, more importantly in a biological system. These…

This will dissolve and oxidize copper into Cu2+. The solution was then heated to remove the brown NOx fume. This is necessary since NOx acts as an oxidizing agent and will oxidize I in the redox reaction to be observed. When all NOx fume is removed, H2SO4 was added and the solution was heated until white SO3 fumes appear. The addition of H2SO4 will drives off all nitrogen oxide gas that can interfere with…

000 employees and a gross quarterly profit margin of 59.75% (Ycharts.com, 2015). Until the 1990’s, the business previously defined themselves as a chemical company, and was notorious for producing controversial products such as DDT, aspartame and Agent Orange. Currently, Monsanto manufactures herbicides and crop seeds to be sold for use in agriculture. Their largest products are the herbicide, glyphosate, (marketed under the name…

The Pearl of Great Price is an ideal place to learn about agency because it shows us the story of our first brothers and sisters to practice using agency in the flesh, through Adam and Eve’s experience falling from the presence of God and exercising their agency outside the Garden of Eden. Additionally, we learn about how we had agency even before we came to Earth and received our bodies through the knowledge we can gain about our preearth life, and our specific choice to follow our…

Investigative Service The Coast Guard Investigative Service (CGIS) lacks an effective method of managing training opportunities across the service for the reserve force. It would be beneficial to establish a reserve training coordinator at each Resident Agent Office or field office for the purpose of ensuring uniform distribution of training opportunities with the goal of creating greater competency across the service. CGIS has a saying which states that “Every reservist is their own career…

Artificial intelligence can be an extremely beneficial and efficient method of performing simple tasks or the most difficult of tasks. Artificial intelligence can severely reduce the workload of America. Every day, they are becoming more and more integrated into our daily life. There are hints of artificial intelligence present in some of the common applications that you may see or use every day, such as a smartphone. Although there are many benefits of artificial intelligence, it has its…
