Food Inc. Film Review The way human eat has changed for the worse in the last fifty years. The movie Food, Inc. presents a shocking discovery on corporate farming and the development of the food industry. The director of this movie, Robert Kenner, uses numerous approaches to prove how unnatural and dangerous today’s food can be from the chicken farm to the chemically treated massive amount of meat. The movie is divided in three main parts. The first one focuses on the inhumane production of…

risks associated with it. He also talks about the policies set in place to protect the food industry and how farmers are losing their rights to farm. He also explains GMO and its ownership to Monsanto, a chemical company. He also goes into deal detail about how the top three companies control the food production of the United States. He uses FOOD, INC to show the viewer what’s truly wrong with the food industry. In the beginning of the film, he shows how fast food companies changed the way…

Chemical thermodynamics is the study of the interrelation of heat and work with chemical reactions or with physical changes of state within the confines of the laws of thermodynamics. It involves not only laboratory measurements of various thermodynamic properties, but also the application of mathematical methods to the study of chemical questions and the spontaneity of processes. The structure of chemical thermodynamics is based on the first two laws of thermodynamics. Starting from the first…

Chemical Engineering From all of the engineering fields, I decided to pursue a chemical engineering degree because of its ample area of study. Chemical engineers not only work evaluating and optimizing chemical processes, but also they must analyze production costs and develop reports according to the data they obtain (“Occupation”). As soon as I finished high school, I was interested in studying Chemistry; I wanted to research and experiment. Then, it was when I learned about the engineering…

benefit from bonding of atoms of certain elements in our daily life. As I will show in this essay, with the help of understanding the surface chemistry, which is the study of chemical reactions at interfaces (surfaces), different desired affects can be produced by the formation of selected elements such as making improved chemical composition of a surface. Surface chemistry today can be applied to solve various issues and problems including fighting corrosion, making glucose biosensor to…

Economic aspect of the Chemical Weapon In order to obtain chemical weapons, each country needed to face the problem of finding the source of raw material available in their country, the manufacture of raw material and, the transportation and training of human forces that would be used in time of war. The economic aspects of the chemical weapon are extensive, but we confine it to the study of the acquisition of raw materials. The Allies and the acquisition of raw materials In the middle of June…

21st, 2014 Learning about Ammonia The chemical that I researched was Ammonia because of it’s involvement in agriculture. I am interested in agriculture and plan on majoring in Animal Science. Ammonia is an ingredient in many of the products that I use when working with animals and this made me curious. I used this opportunity to learn more about this chemical that is important in future career. Some general information about Ammonia is the chemical formula, molecular weight, availability,…

Many chemicals are safe to handle but negatively impact the environment in the long run. Other chemicals such as arsenic are toxic even in the smallest amounts. Mercury is a natural element that occurs throughout our environment and solar system. It has unique properties (i.e liquid metal at room temperature) and can be found in very small concentrations in many rocks and is the main component of the mineral cinnabar. Natural background levels can be detected in soils, living organisms, air, and…
