Strontium Isotope ratios are used in archaeology to track human migration.86Sr abundance is constant, but 87Sr forms through decay of 87Rb in rock. Rock age and initial Rb/Sr ratios vary geographically, making87Sr/86Sr a location tracer. Strontium, weathered from bedrock into groundwater then taken up by flora and fauna, can substitute for Ca in tooth enamel. Enamel only forms during childhood, specifically the early first and second molars mineralize during early childhood; the third molar…
This is two week project is to evaluate the stereochemical outcome and facial selectivity of an oxidation-reduction interconversion between 4-tert- butylcyclohexanol and 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone while investigating the stereoselectivity of different reducing agents. During the first week, 4-tert-butylcyclohexanol, a secondary alcohol (mixture of cis and trans stereoisomers) is to be oxidized into a ketone, 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone using sodium hypochlorite (bleach). Thin layer chromatography…
Archaeologists today have a wide selection of ways to correctly date ancient artifacts. The available methods allow them to accurately date objects that are hundreds of years old up to a few million years old. Dating methods are used to find out about how old an artifact may be, or how old it is exactly. Relative dating methods are stratigraphy and style analysis. Absolute dating methods used are absolute dating, radiocarbon dating, uranium-lead dating, and luminescence dating. Stratigraphy as…
In this class, the diverse learner pairs with peers within the group who help if the diverse student has a problem understanding. Scientific discourse is written in the carbon atom group worksheet. This is one of Hanauer 's components. If the diverse student cannot understand the worksheet, the peer pairing helps the diverse student with language or reading. The teacher monitors visiting each group asking questions. Teacher looks for understanding in the diverse learners. If the diverse…
In this case, if the face part (softer) has some damage, it is possible to change it and maintain the backing part in use. Analysis EXTERNAL ANALYSIS Customer Definition The potential customers for the polyfibron offset press blanket are operations managers, superintendents, and foremen of printers and magazine companies in the US. Potential customers have not purchased the new product before but they know about the characteristics that it needs to have. These characteristics are…
fossil fuels because it is inorganic and does not contain any carbon (NMOGA 2015). This applies pressure to the plants and animals as well as heating temperatures ranging 150-300 degrees Fahrenheit (NMOGA 2015). After millions of years the deceased plants and animals transform from their organic state to hydrocarbons (NMOGA 2015).…
Naturally political Humans are killing the earth; destroying it by pollution. Some are claiming that the anthropogenic effect on the earth is destruction, while others say these claims are nothing more than fear mongering based around erroneous evidence. Potential presidential candidates Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders have taken their own stances on this subject and aim to address it effectively so that the public may be ensured of its relevancy. The environment is suffering, it is a…
element in the periodic table is one of the most important elements of them all, carbon. This element, located on group fourteen and period two of the periodic table, has an atomic number of 6 and a molar mass of 12.01; this means that it has 6 electrons, 6 protons, and 6 neutrons. The element is lightweight, fairly small, the fourth most abundant element on Earth, and is essential for living, growing, and reproducing. Carbon is found in all living and non-living organisms, in the form of an…
This experiment was performed in order to demonstrate the principles of nitration through electrophilic aromatic substitution. It also examined the effects of bromine on an aromatic ring, ortho-para vs. meso directing. The second experiment was performed to compare the reaction rates of electrophilic aromatic bromination with different arenes. Data and Results In the gas chromatogram, there are two large peaks. The first peak at 0.653 minutes with an area of 133,352 uV per second, 31.95% of…
The coal mining industry in the late 1800s, especially in Colorado, was a rapidly growing industry. As fossil fuel technologies expanded, life became increasingly dependent on fossil fuels, and as a result, people became more reliant on coal as an energy source. However, without the introduction of the railroad, coal would have remained just a minor industry (Andrews 2008, 54). These railways made it possible to connect the coal production areas with the markets, and thus possible to bring coal…
