types of illnesses and disease. Learning more about the drug, the chemicals that can be extracted from the plant, can have the most benefits to the medical world. Finding different extracts from the plant can make a difference for the patients that benefit from medical marijuana. Marijuana, as of now sits on the Schedule 1 drug list for the United States. According to the DEA “Schedule I drugs, substances,…

expected to play a significant role in industrial processes, since they are thermostable and resistant to chemical denaturation. Thermostable lipases are employed in various industries which includes food and diary, fat and oil modification, detergent, cosmetic, pharmaceuticals, organic synthesis, oleo-chemical and biodiesel production. The high potential of lipase application in various industries has resulted in increasing demands for new lipase which is highly active with specific stability…

Many chemicals such as petroleum are vital to everyday life. We use petroleum products in manufacturing, to heat our homes, get us places, and run engines. The volitability of these chemicals can be catastrophic if not handled properly. This is the case with the T2 Labaratories in Jacksonville, Florida that killed four and wounded thirty-two others. In December 2007, four lives were lost and many other where changed when an explosion occurred at the Jacksonville Florida plant at T2…

•Third Noble gas •Chemical Symbol-Ar •It is also obtained from the air as a byproduct of the production of oxygen and nitrogen •It is the third most atmospheric gas •Argon is colorless and odorless •Argon is non reactive and has no effect on living organisms •Makes up 1% of the air around •Argon is found in the earth’s crust and in oceans •It comes from the greek word argos which means lazy •Argon must be isolated before using •Mostly used in the metal industry •Argon is…

Analysis of Galvanized Nails, Quality Control, and Green Chemistry Introduction: In this lab, we handled acidic chemicals that needed to be disposed of upon completion of the lab. We disposed of these chemicals according to safety policies and green chemistry policies. Green Chemistry is the practice of chemistry in an environmentally safe way to prevent pollution. We used green chemistry to minimize the amount of waste we were to be creating. We ended up creating waste from degalvanizing…

Ammonia (NH3) is one of the most commonly produced industrial chemicals in the United States. It is used in industry and commerce, and also exists naturally in humans and in the environment. The problem is that during that time ammonia was used in most refrigerators, and it was toxic and many food-industry workers died. His team worked very hard and researched with a potential alternative refrigerant. Tetrafluoroethylene is a chemical compound with the formula C2F4. It belongs to the family of…

from the English word ‘soda’. The appearance of sodium is soft metal that tarnishes within seconds of being exposed to the air. It also reacts vigorously with water. Used as a heat exchanger in some nuclear reactors, and as a reagent in the chemicals industry. But sodium salts have more uses than the metal itself. The biological role is essential to all living things, and humans have known this since prehistoric times. Our bodies contain about 100 grams, but we are constantly losing sodium in…

foods harmful substances. A generation cannot survive if the food it consumes is filled with chemicals, genetically modified organisms, and overall poisons. The food industry and manufactures thrive and prosper because of Americans’ unawareness of what they are truly eating.…
