Purpose: The objective is to separate the heterogeneous mixture of salt, iron filings, and salt into each pure form using filtration, evaporation, and magnetism. Background: When separating a mixture, preferably to separate a mixture that includes a soluble liquid and a insoluble solid, filtration is the best because solid molecules are bigger than liquid molecules. A filter contains pores that are small enough to let small partials though the pores while holding back the larger particles.…
Benzalknoium salts are acknowledged as benzalknoium chloride, also known as BZK, BKC, BAC, alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride and ADBAC. These salts are known to have several names and are also considered as cationic surfactants. Surfactants are compounds that subordinate the surface tension among two liquids or among a liquid and a solid. Surfactants have the availability to act as detergents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, foaming agents, and dispersants. Benzalknoium salts are used in…
Cannabinoids are chemical compounds that repress neurotransmitters in the brain. Repressing the neurotransmitters in the brain the body responds in a different type of way. The compounds attach to the different neurotransmitters and make your body block out different feelings such as pain. These cannabinoid chemicals are the most important part of the plant…
A Ray of Hope Much like the dystopian and corrupt Republic in Marie Lu’s Legend, the world seems to be a sea of violence, destruction, death, and overall chaos. However, there is a way for some to survive. The American government has created vaults, or well fortified buildings, that can guarantee the safety of those inside during these hard and cruel times in the world, meaning that there is hope for some of the civilians to survive. Unfortunately, there is a keyword there and it is “some.”…
It is no secret that we are on the verge of making both technological and biological progress. Imagine a scenario in which you were fighting for your country or perhaps your family and unfortunately you lost your arm, your leg, or even part of your face. Today, we see these losses as needing a prosthetic, which is a device that is made from plastic or metal that takes the place of the body part that was lost in order for you to maintain a proper functionality within society. I think a better…
Teaching in honey bees Teaching is widespread throughout the human’s species, however for other organisms, while social learning is commonly found, it is not currently clear how common teaching behaviours are within other organisms. Furthermore, the research that has been conducted tends to surround animals, for instance, Meerkats as they learn to defend themselves against scorpions (Thornton & McAuliffe, 2006) or the ability for New Caledonian Crows to learn to shape hooks to use as tools…
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…
In this experiment one, are determining the melting points of different crystalline substances following a specific procedure. By finding the melting point of a crystalline substance, it helps determine what kind of compound it is as well as initiate the purity. A DigiMelt apparatus can be used to determine the melting point where a small amount of the the substance is packed into a capillary tube and heated slowly in the apparatus which includes a thermometer, a heating coil and a magnifying…
with change from one substance to another. For an example toast burning is a chemical change as the bread is turning into ash and can’t be turned back into toast. Everything around us is made up of either atoms, elements, molecules, mixtures or compounds. Atoms consist of three…
Furthermore, it would be consumed with no constructive purposes in the form of a leisure pastime. In addition, it is suspected to have a higher presence of THC. The compound THC is popularly believed to induce hypnotic properties like calmness, creativity, clarity, joy, peace, hypersensitivity, and dogmatism. Critics in favor of recreational cannabis might argue that the psychoactive effects are similar to the naturally…
