Poison King by Adrienne Mayor The book, Poison King by Adrienne Mayor, portrays a life that is characterized with manifestation and anticipation. It asserts Alexander the Great together with Darius of Persia as Mithradates predecessors who acquired a rich wealthy Black Sea kingdom when he was a teenager at 14years after his mother killed his father. He escaped into exile but came back in triumph to be a king of top notch intellect and stern objectives. He is seen as a savior by his supporters and treated in awe as a second Hannibal by his foes (Mayor, Mithradates p. 34).…
Known as the human species oldest recreational drug, Ethanol is a colorless, flammable liquid, with a distinct smell, and burns with a blue flame. It has the chemical formula of CH3CH2OH (it's molecular formula) or C2H6O (it's empirical formula), that can also be abbreviated using chemistry notation as EtOH. It has a melting point at -173.2°F , and a boiling point at 173.1°F. Ethanol has many handy uses around the world, in many different places.…

The warmer the temperature of water, which results in more carbon dioxide that will be produced during the reaction time, compared to lower temperature water. The faster the Alka-seltzers dissolve, the shorter amount it will take for the carbon dioxide to be released to take in effect after reaction time…
In conclusion, our hypothesis was incorrect. After dropping an Alka-Seltzer tablet into a cup of oil, a physical change occurred. We know that the change was physical because, though bubbles were released, the tablet remained in it’s starting state and no other chemical change signs were released. An error we may have caused in an inaccurate count of bubbles, we got as close as we could but we can never be sure. From this experiment, we have learned that compared to Alka-Seltzer and water was oil’s had no dissolving and there was a physical change not a chemical change.…
Unlike Jeannette I never moved around a lot in my life so maybe that’s why it so strange to me, but both she and I have some things in common. We both don’t seem to like our distant relatives, both of our mothers can be hypocrites, saying stand up for what you believe in and then reprimanding us about it, and both of us have been and are tricked by our fathers; in her case standing up to her racist parents and digging a foundation for the Glass Castle that the family only really wanted to use as a garbage disposal. Her family also has issues with pride just as much as mine does, only in a different way. The Walls were and are the poorest in any poor neighborhood they move to, but they bring their misfortune upon themselves. Honestly they could…
Magic is everywhere and it is invisible to the real world, which is why many people do not believe in magic. Today, people believe magic to be optical illusions, or hand tricks, but maybe there is more to the world then society thinks. The magical world and the “real world” have similarities and differences from each other in the play A Midsummer Night’s Dream, by William Shakespeare. In the mythical world, magic is a normal concept to them and they understand how to use it and wield it. In other words, the magical world has more control over magic and its own world.…
A lot can be done when it comes to making something better. For example, did you know that glass is made of sand? Sand is pretty awesome alone especially when it stays on the beach, but sand can actually some of the most beautiful of things when it’s turned to glass. Alchemy is an allegory for life because Alchemy is the same way, it turns something already great and turns it into something awesome and everyone wants to have the best life possible In the book The Alchemist there are a lot of symbols that are meant for specific categories in society.…
Only by first understanding the impact of the past and current moonshine and blue laws can one gain the insight necessary to legislate laws enforced impartially that benefit both the private citizen and the economy without the repercussions of increased violence. Failures of laws such as the Whiskey Tax of 1791 sparked the underground world of illegal liquor and with its repeal a booming unregulated industry. America endured more than a decade of corruption, violence, and lawlessness due to the ratification of the Volstead Act. United States citizens depend on the ability of legislators, with good moral judgement, to pass laws that protect the liberties and freedoms for the good of the…
Moliere 's Tartuffe, and Voltaire 's Candide are each praiseworthy abstract works of the eighteenth century in their own particular rights. Fraud is a sarcastic drama, and Candide a provocative travelog. While each sticks somberly to its type, different similitudes and also differentiating contrasts can be followed among the previously mentioned works. Composed amid the Age of Enlightenment, each of these works mirrors the belief system of the period and subsequently, has different likenesses. Firstly, each of these works commends reason over religion and the hypothesis that man is in charge of his own behavior.…

CONTENTS RESEARCH QUESTION How does the length of carbon chains, specifically those related to alkanols, namely ethanol 1- propanol and 1- butanol, affect the heat of combustion? AIM To investigate how the length of carbon chains affect the heat of combustion and enthalpy, in order to determine which fuel would be the safest and most efficient to take on a camping trip. HYPOTHESIS If the number of carbon atoms in an alkanol is increased, then the alkanol containing the longest carbon chain will have a higher heat of combustion, because as there are more carbon atoms, more energy will be released as a result of the breaking of the covalent bonding and the forming of bonding as the final product. INTRODUCTION…

The purpose of this lab is to calculate the chemical formula of a hydrate compound made up of copper, chlorine, and water molecules by using the law of definite proportions. The water of hydration of the copper chloride hydrate sample will be determined as well as the mass of copper and chlorine through a chemical reaction. The results will be used to calculate the moles of copper and chlorine and then the empirical formula of the compound. Techniques used:…
