Chemistry

Acid-base chemistry can be used to separate the components of a mixture, if one or more of those components are acidic or basic, based on the solubility of that mixture. Solubility is the ability of a solute to dissolve in a solvent and it’ll usually form a solution. An extraction is when compounds are dissolved from a solid into a solvent or from a solution into another solvent. Solvent-solvent is when nonaqueous solvents and reagents are used to remove an element from an aqueous solution. The…

In the very first experimental lab for organic chemistry, students are introduced to the world of the microscale which is very important for the organic chemistry experience. This would become a stepping stone for acquiring all the technique and experience in handling organic compounds safely and also effectively. This means to use the tools provided in order to get a better and much deeper understanding of the chemistry when applying it real time to reactions. In this case, the experiment…

Salbutamol Discovery Chiral chemistry was introduced in 1848 by French chemist and biologist, Louis Pasteur. He discovered this new branch of chemistry after he separated two isomers of ammonium tartate (1). This paved the way for several progressions in the pharmaceutical industry. Although it took approximately a century for scientists to use chiral compounds as effective drugs, they have played a remarkable role in the life of plants and animals (1). The credit for discovering the chiral…

Chemistry- the world most excruciating subject. I hate chemistry — always have and always will. Chemistry is full of memorizing things that is boring to the mankind. There are over an hundred and eighteen elements on the periodic table, and chemistry students have to know all of them! What even more frustrating, is that chemistry students do even see a third of the hundred and eighteen elements on the test; yet chemistry teachers being the cold-hearted human beings, do not tell their students…

passion for Chemistry started in year 7, the teacher I had for science made the subject interesting and fun, so I looked forward to every science lesson I had. The areas of chemistry that interest me are inorganic and organic chemistry as you can learn a lot about how and why different substances react in different situations. I also enjoy physical chemistry, because it allows you to apply chemistry to life situations. In addition, the skills I have learnt from chemistry are varied. Chemistry…

Name: Ifeolutembi Fashina Student Number: 13335535 Lab Partner’s Name: Ifeoma Agu Demonstrator: Maria Inorganic Chemistry Experiment 3: The Identification of Unknown Samples Objectives The experiments were carried out in order to identify 15 samples, through their physical and chemical properties. Theory A precipitation reaction is one which produces an insoluble salt as product. An example would be; Ca(NO3)2 + H2SO4 = CaSO4 + 2HNO3 The calcium salt is insoluble. Precipitation reactions…

What are group one elements? Group one elements are alkali metals. The physical properties of group one elements are that they are shiny and the alkali metals are very soft. Lithium is the hardest alkali metal and they become softer as you go down the group. The chemical properties of group one is that they’re very reactive when mixed with water or when in contact with the air. Each element in group one has one electron in their outermost shell. Also, group one elements get more reactive as you…

Before beginning he experiment the physical appearance of all the chemicals being used needs to be written down. To begin the experiment 3 test tubes must be acquired; a boiling tube, large test tube and a small test tube. The large test tube must be completely dried with a paper towel and labeled R for Reactants. After that is done a piece of weighing paper should be placed on a balance and tared. After make sure the balance is correctly tared, a spatula must be used to collect 2 grams of…

I decided to pursue this degree because my first chemistry teacher inspired me. She is an amazing woman. Previously she had the job that I would eventually like to have and has a family, productive life, and also able to maintain all of her hobbies. I want to pursue this degree because I want to have a successful life like hers. I also want this degree because I love chemistry I believe that chemistry is my true passion. I have loved chemistry from the moment I started it. I wish to pursue a…

Paragraph 1 (300 - 500 words) Compare and contrast the crystal structures and crystal chemistry of quartz, α-FePO4 and β-FePO4 To compare quartz, α-FePO4 and β-FePO4, it is essential to look at their crystal structures and crystal chemistry. This can be done by observing their three-dimensional structures as well as their reactions to various degrees of temperature. This particular research takes a look at the structure of FePO4 between temperatures of 294K to 1073K. At lower temperatures,…
