stone. The name comes from the Swedish chemist and his countrymen who discovered the metal in scheelite. The atomic number of tungsten is 74 and tungsten’s atomic weight is 183.84. Tungsten is also one of the densest and hardest metals in the world. From Encyclopedia Britannica in Britannica School, tungsten was discovered by a Swedish chemist named Carl Wilhelm Scheele who discovered tungsten oxide in scheelite, while two brothers, the Spanish chemists Fausto and Juan Jose de Elhuyar used…

Sodium polyacrylate is a polymer with a unique structure, that chemists are leveraging in a variety of lucrative industrial applications. Sodium polyacrylate possesses a unique chemical property: the ability to absorb incredible amounts of water. It can absorb 300 to 800 times its weight in water (Superabsorbent Polymers). Industrial chemists have taken advantage of the polymer’s special function, and have incorporated it into dozens of different products. In fact, the industry behind…

I am embarking upon my last semester at Holmes Community College. I am majoring in Biological Science. My plan is to continue my education at the University of Southern Mississippi as a Forensic Science major with a concentration in Biological Science. A strong background in chemistry and instrumental analysis and a good grounding in criminalistics are vital. An undergraduate degree in forensic science or a natural science is required for work in crime laboratories, with extensive coursework in…

Headstrong: 52 Women Who Changed Science -- and the World by Rachel Swaby is a nonfiction book about women’s acknowledgment in the different fields of science and how these women’s accomplishments have been finessed by men and the media. The women recognized in this book are not as famous and common know like, Marie Curie, but this does not mean their work and accomplishments are less important. It talks about the media coverage of women scientists and their discoveries that changed the world.…

produced from today. The article notes that “diacetylmorphine,” which derives from the opium in poppy plants, was created in 1874 by a chemist in England named C. R. Alder Wright when he conducted an experiment in which he boiled morphine with other “various acids”. The drug did not gain much traction until it was re-created 23 years later in Elberfield, Germany by a chemist at the Bayer pharmaceutical firm named Felix Hoffman. The idea was to create a codeine similar to morphine that was not as…

Known for the method used in industry to synthesize ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen gases, Fritz Haber was, and still is, a well-known German chemist whose invention is used today for the production of fertilizers, cleaning products, and explosives. He was born on December 9, 1868, in Breslau, Prussia. Three weeks after being born, his mother passed away due to the toll her pregnancy took on her, thus leaving him to be raised in a Jewish household by his father, Siegfried, and several of his…

word order (syntax), the meaning can be different as a result. The first sentence is “I went to the chemist, Marks & Spencer, and NatWest” (Truss 85), whereas, the second sentences is “I went to NatWest, the chemist, and Marks & Spencer” (Truss 85). One might assume that the chemist is Marks & Spencer, treating them both as the same place, in which there are just two distinct places, the pharmacy (chemist, when a noun is lowercased, it is not a proper noun) and the bank. Nevertheless, this is…
