and 60 watt lights bulbs. We are timing how long it takes for the chads to rise with each different light. Photosynthesis is a chemical process through which plants, some bacteria and algae, produce glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water, using only light as a source of energy. Photosynthesis converts massive amount of Sunlight into electrical and then chemical energy. The input is carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), minerals and light, and the output is carbohydrates (food) that we…

Lead concentrations can be measured in various body tissues or by measuring the biomarkers of the toxic effects of lead. The concentration of lead in the body has been measured in blood, bone, nails, hair, teeth, urine, faces and saliva for screening and diagnostic purposes. In all samples, specimen collection, storage and processing must be meticulously performed to avoid contamination of the samples with lead in the surrounding environment. Teeth, nail and bone reflect long term exposure to…

For my orthographic drawing, I created three different views of my putt putt boat. I created a top, front and side view of my boat. I created an orthographic drawing because it accurately shows the top, front and side views clearly and more precisely. I was representing a 3d object in 2 dimensions. My three views show how each side of the boat looks in detail and the accurate measurements of the boat. To create the hull, we shaped a piece of aluminum into a “pocket” by using sandpaper to sand…

Since the naming of the dinosaurs in 1842 it has been thought that their metabolisms were similar to current day ectothermic, cold blooded reptiles., In the 1960’s- 1970’s; however, it started to become apparent that an endothermic metabolism (warm blooded, like mammals) is more conformable with new evidence and observations. Originally, predictions on the paleothermometry of dinosaurs was based on the physical performance such as the estimation of running speed from trace fossils as well as…

Draw resonance structures showing all the positions at which the positive charge is delocalized on the aromatic ring in the phenonium ion. If a methoxy group (-OCH3) or a nitro group (–NO2) were substituted in the 4-position on the aromatic ring, how would the stability of the phenonium ion change? Compare methoxy substituted, nitro substituted and unsubstituted, and order them by increasing stability. Explain your answer thoroughly. 2) Benzopinacol and benzopinacolone have nearly…

Imagine trying to figure out one possible combination to a mixture, when there are over 100 possibilities. The 8th graders had to look at the physical and chemical properties, to somehow figure out the mixture. A group of students thinks that Baking Soda and Citric Acid is what’s in the mystery mixture. That group thinks that Baking Soda and Citric Acid is in it for a lot of reasons. One reason is that the mystery mixture has circular round objects in it and the Citric Acid is circular and…

knowledge and understanding of enzymes is imperative. The first part of this experiment deals primarily with PTU and catechol oxidase. Enzymes work by using substrates (reactor molecules) to increase the chances of a reaction taking place. Enzymes are not used or changed during a reaction, they simply bind with the substrate at the active site. This creates the place where catalysis actually occurs, called the enzyme-substrate complex (Freeman). Catechol Oxidase is the enzyme extracted from…

percent yield of the esterification reaction used to produce aspirin. This reaction was catalyzed by concentrated H2SO4, but since it is not consumed during the reaction, it does not affect the stoichiometric calculations. In order to determine the limiting reagent, the moles of reactants were calculated (Part A). Part B of the calculations illustrates the amount of aspirin produced by each reactant based on 1:1 mole ratio defined by the balanced equation of the reaction. According to these…

salt to be separated from the sand. Page 52 20. Compounds can be broken down into simpler substances while elements cannot. 21. The composition of a substance is always fixed, but the composition of a mixture can vary. 22. Chemical symbols are used to represent elements and chemical formulas are used to represent compounds. 23. Electrolysis, or the passing of an electric current through a substance, can break down a compound into simpler…

dissolves in a reaction of: CaCl2 Ca2+aq + 2Cl1-aq while NH4NO3 dissolve in a reaction of: NH4NO3 NH41+aq + NO31-aq . As shown in these reactions, when ionic compounds dissolve in water, they break into their individual charged ions. The compounds are held together through ionic bonds, but when they dissolve, ionic bonds are broken and ion dipole attractions form instead. This change in bonding indicates that there is a change in energy, which can create endothermic or exothermic reactions.…
