TEE JIN FENG 15SPE072X 27012016 EXPERIMENT 7: Cannizzaro reaction and reaction of benzaldehyde with ethylene glycol Introduction: From the first experiment, the reaction of benzaldehyde and potassium hydroxide will produce two products which are benzyl alcohol and benzoic acid. We are going to look at how to get this two products separated by using their different chemical properties. For the second experiment, benzaldehyde ethylene acetal is formed when the reaction done under acidic…

In the summer of 2008 Canadian healthcare professionals noticed an irregularly high incidence of listeriosis cases (“Listeriosis outbreak timeline”, 2009), the disease associated with infection by Listeria. This concern was disregarded until people in a nursing home fell ill and sandwich meat from the same place tested positive for the presence of Listeria monocytogenes (“Listeriosis outbreak timeline”, 2009). On August 12, 2008, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency launched an investigation of…

Water is essential for life to exist on Earth. It exists as a solid, liquid, and gas and is common in every state. Covering about 75% of Earth’s surface and 70-90% of mass in living organisms, water is the most abundant liquid on Earth (Sarquis). In the Bible, water is mentioned many times in the Old and New Testament. The unique physical properties such as hydrogen bonding, evaporation, and surface tension are mentioned in the Bible and help to prove the existence of a Creator through not only…

global warming has become a major concern to environmentalist and people worldwide. The warming of Earth’s atmosphere and land have started to make itself present to many. In 2016, Earth’s global surface temperature is approximated to rise 1.3 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels (Le Page,1). Throughout the last century, it’s become evident to what has led to the increase in the warming of Earth. Much of the warming on Earth has been caused by the increased abundance of carbon in the…

THE COLD PLUTO By : Ethan Garcia Pluto was discovered on February 18th, 1930. By an American astronomer named Clyde William Tombaugh. The name Pluto was given to the planet by an eleven year old girl, by The name of Venetia Burney. The scientist wanted to keep the tradition of naming the Planets after Roman Gods of the Underwold. Pluto was said to be the smallest Planet in the solar system and the ninth Planet from the sun, little after Pluto was recategorized…

Stalingrad Is what I did my report on. It went down as one of the most brutal battles in history. Stalingrad was in the Soviet Union (Russia). Where the war was fought during the cold and brutal winter where the temperatures were as low as -30 degree Celsius (-22 degree Fahrenheit). The actual battle of Stalingrad began on august 23, 1942 and ended in February of 1943. The general (leader) of the soviets during this battle was General Zhukov. As far as the amount of troops the soviets had…

The purpose of this experiment is to find what design of calorimeter captured the most energy from a combusted ship. To find this, we tested each design, and calculated the amount of energy it captured from a baked potato chip. Throughout chemistry, physics, and life there are six specific types of energy. Although there are six specific types of energy, there are two main forms of energy. These types of energy are called, kinetic, and potential energy. Kinetic energy is a type of energy in…

released into the atmosphere trap the heat that comes from the sun, therefore gradually warming the Earth in a process called the Greenhouse Effect. Since 1880 to 2012, the average temperature of Earth has risen by 1.53 degrees Fahrenheit (0.85 degrees Celsius). Although it doesn’t sound like much, this temperature rise is melting ice in Antarctica and the Arctic. This…

produces the most nuclear power in the world. They produced 798 billion kWh in 2014. They have about 100 power plants. Fusion is one way reactors make energy. Fusion is joining two uranium atoms together. To fuse it must be 100 million degrees celsius, or 180,000,032 degrees fahrenheit. After they are fused they get absorbed in a blanket of lithium, and then the lithium is transformed into tritium. Fusing makes zero pollutants, and is more…

The two types of bacteria are archaebacteria and eubacteria. What characteristics distinguish these two groups from the other kingdoms? These two groups are different from other kingdoms because all cells in these kingdoms are single-celled organisms whose organelles are not membrane bounds. They are also microscopically small. What is the average size of a bacterium? An average bacterium is about 1-2 micrometres long. How many prokaryote species have been discovered? How many are estimated to…
