Chemical process

encourage chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction to take place. Once the reaction is complete, enzymes are left unchanged and able to move on to the next reaction. For this reason, enzymes have proven to be valuable resources for industries. The reusability of enzymes are especially useful in food production, fabric manufacturing, and waste management. Despite the specific conditions enzymes need to function in an optimal state, enzymes are a central process…

objective of this experiment is to get a better understanding of limiting reactants and chemical reactions as whole. It also helped us determine how the amounts of sodium carbonate and calcium chloride affect the chemical reaction made: calcium carbonate. Introduction: This lab was to show the relationship between reactants and products. In this case, we used calcium chloride and sodium carbonate. This made a chemical reaction and eventually formed calcium carbonate. The goal of this lab…

1.0 PURPOSE: To implement a process that will ensure that non-conforming batches will go through the correct process and procedure for correction/adjustment and that all documentation and subsequent batch releases are issued to the work order for filling. This procedure will also eliminate accretion of previous blends in the liquid compounding area. 2.0 SCOPE: This procedure applies to the Liquid Compounding, Pre-weigh area and Lab. 3.0 RESPONSIBILITY: It is the responsibility of the…

next thing that was miscommunicated over the next few days following the incident were the levels of environmental contamination. Ron Lewis of the Parkersburg News and Sentinel reported that the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) and Shell Chemical Company spokesman Rob Berger said that nothing from the fire fighter’s water sprayings made…

metal resulting from reactions with chemicals in its environment. The oxygen oxidizes with the metal, and the sodium help speed up the corrosion process. The presence of oxygen and electrolytes (Sodium – Na) in sample number 2 make it more…

the available chemistry classes, when the opportunity to job shadow a water operator at the Emlenton Water Treatment Plant arose, I took advantage of it. Even with my knowledge in chemistry, I went into the experience knowing only that they use chemicals, such as chlorine, to treat the water from the river. I came out of the experience with a more selective career path and a much greater knowledge and appreciation for water treatment plant operators. On my first day shadowing, I met my mentor,…

Enzyme catalysis can be a very confusing and long process, but in easier terms can just be explained by the fact that enzymes break down molecules into smaller pieces. The objective of this lab is to observe how quickly the enzyme catalase breaks down H2O2, and what long periods of contact between the two do to that process. We used seven different cups for seven different lengths of time, and in every cup we mixed 10 mL of 1.5% H2O2, 1 mL of distilled water, and 1 mL of catalase. We then…

PRINT YOUR OWN MEDICINE Chemist Lee Cronin is a professor of chemistry and nanoscience and chemical complexity. He founded the Cronin group who is focused on complex functional molecular architectures that are not based on biologically derived building blocks. Cronin’s idea is to “app” chemistry and by this he means making a “really cool universal chemistry set”. He speaks with confidence to a mature audience that has an interest in the future of chemistry and medicine and those who create or…

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…

each white powder including the mystery powder with four different liquids. The liquids were; water, universal indicator, vinegar, and iodine. For example, when they mix the four liquids with the powder, one of the powders should have the exact same chemical and physical reactions as the mystery powder does. If none of the powders match the…
