Chemist

Joseph Louis Proust was a French Chemist who came up with a law in the 18th century that governed the chemical reaction. Proust’s law or discovery is known as the Law of Constant Composition, also called the Law of Definite Proportions. This paper will detail the history of Joseph Proust and his contribution to the atomic theory. Early Life of Proust Joseph Louis Proust, named after his father,…

Sucralose, is a non-nutritive sweetener, is used in replace of sugar and is six hundred times sweeter. The popular brand Splenda, utilizes sucralose as it’s main chemical ingredient. Splenda is known to consumers as a healthier alternative to sugar, and is able to be sprinkled onto cereal, fresh fruit, and added to teas. In the small yellow packaging of the Splenda, no calorie sweetener packets: one packet is equal to two teaspoons of sugar, while one and a half packets is equal to one…

the coast don’t have to worry about it. And another chemist, Daniel Hirsch agreed with buesseler results even though he didn’t do the research with him. This article in my eyes is good for community. I believe that having this article out is going to affect the community in good way. I believe that it will stop everyone fear of the radiation that is approaching California. It believe that it will stop the fear because you have real chemist that have studied the radiation and proven that…

Primo Levi “The aims of life are the best defense against death.” (Levi) That is one of Primo Levi's quotes from his book, Survival in Auschwitz. Primo Levi is known for writing books about the Holocaust. He was also a chemist. As an Italian-Jew he was put in a concentration camp. After the camp was liberated by the Russians, a year later, he was finally free from the Nazis. Primo Levi was born on July 31, 1919. He was raised in a small Jewish community in Turin, Italy with his parents and…

cheaply” (244). The second way why technology helped the industry expand is chemicals “ Chemists created hundreds of new products, from medicines such as aspirin to perfumes and soaps” (244). The third technology that helped the industry expand is electricity “Electricity replaced steam as the dominant source of industrial power” (244). The first battery wasn’t invented until the 1800’s later on, “ The English chemist Michael Faraday created the first simple electric motor and the first dynamo,…

In this modern society, resources are easily attainable for those with the money to afford them. Low-income families, however, are not as fortunate. Many do not have the funds to provide for their families, whether it be food, clothing, or even shelter. The stress of being unable to provide is further amplified when a child suddenly falls ill. This situation and lack of resources ultimately leads to a fork in the road of morals. There is always the option to continue to work and even take out…

studied to become a teacher there. When he was 20, he graduated at the top of his class. Then, Dmitri got a job as a science teacher at 21, but returned to college a year later to study chemistry. After graduating again, he worked as a teacher and a chemist. Dmitri won an award for his work that allowed him to travel to Germany. There he worked…

including physical and biochemistry. He also made several contributions to both theoretical and applied science from genetic diseases to diagnostic technology.2 Professor G. Hägg, member of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry stated in 1954 that “we chemists are keenly aware of the influence and simulative effect of your pioneer work”3, furthermore Pauling’s influence to science was often acknowledged by colleagues not only as one of the two greatest scientists of the 20th century but…

discovered. Elements such as gold, tin, lead, and copper have been widely known and used since ancient times, however, the first discovery of an element wasn’t made until 1649 by Hennig Brand when he discovered phosphorus. Over the next 200 years, chemists would acquire the basic knowledge of the physical properties and compounds of elements leading to the discovery of 63 elements by 1869. With more elements being discovered scientists began to recognize patterns…

concentration camp. Ernst Boris Chain was “the son of a wealthy chemist,” and as he was growing up in Berlin, “Chain became interested in chemistry while he was a student at the Luisengymnasium in Berlin” (World of Health; Science and Its Times). While in school, “both his teachers and his visits to his father's workplace stimulated his interest in chemistry and biochemistry,” and they were able to guide him in becoming a successful chemist (Science and Its Times). When Adolf Hitler assumed…
