Zinc is an essential mineral that can be found in many foods or dietary supplements. The mineral zinc is found in the periodic table with the symbol ZN and has an atomic number of thirty. Zinc is one of the more abundant elements in the Earth’s crust, the twenty-fourth most abundant, and it contains five stable isotopes. This mineral is also known as an essential trace element, meaning the human body only requires a small amount to be considered healthy. One of the health benefits of zinc…

I am Kylee Skutar, but you may know me as Professor Calleta. I have always had an interest in bugs especially caterpillars. Then one day there was a terrible tornado. I had been in my car and one second I was on the ground, the next in the center of the tornado, then back down. I awoke in the hospital around midnight and they said they gave me a medicine made of Calleta silkmoth. That night I had a hard time falling asleep, I knew that I was no longer a human. I felt different, like if I moved…

long less Zinc became visible at the bottom of the beaker. Copper became visible at the bottom of the beaker all at the same time. The bottom of the beaker released bubbles, or hydrogen gas, from the reaction. The reaction for this particular experiment is a single replacement reaction. This means that a single element replaces a second element in a compound. The reaction is shown…

and Other Yoruba Centers” by Suzanne Preston Blier argues that Copper mask said to represent Ife king Obalufon II is related to the succession of rulers and that its symbolism comes from Obalufon II’s time as a ruler as well as his deification (386). This article is effective because of its meticulous examination of the history of Obalufon II, Ife history and other works relating to the mask. Blier begins the essay by discussing Copper mask said to represent Ife king Obalufon II. She visually…

Silicosis, a life threatening lung disease that can severely harm your ability to breathe. Starting in 1955, the Berkeley Pit became well known as a large truck-operated, open-air copper mine in Butte Montana. The unusually high copper prices resulted in the Anaconda Copper Mining Company opening many pit mines, including the Berkeley Pit. Buying up two communities and a lot of Butte’s previous population, the company was able to clear out a pit site. But after the discovery of very acidic…

Copper is a nonrenewable material. It comes from a mineral deposit that the time it takes to produce copper is too long to be concidered renewable. According to the Copper Alliance, copper is 100% recyclable. In fact, 9 million tones of copper is recycled each year. The recyclable process of copper uses 85% less energy than its original production. When a person is exposed to uncoated copper such as in coocking pans or drinking utenciles, copper can be toxic. Copper is a durable, tough…

Title: Separations of a Mixture Notes: - H¬2O, Copper Sulfate, Starch - H2O (water)- liquid, solvent, boiling point: 100 C, freezing point: 0 C. - Copper Sulfate- solid, soluble, forms an aqueous solution, is a salt. - Starch- solid, macromolecule (long chain sugar), not very soluble in water at low temperatures. - When H2O, Copper Sulfate, and starch are mixed together, it forms a heterogeneous mixture. - Aqueous solution of copper sulfate with a suspension of starch. Research Question: What…

Copper Copper is a vital part of living today. Copper is used in homes to deliver electricity as well as clean water. Even more importantly it is for life itself. Copper nutrition is very important to pregnant women, and their unborn child. Copper enhances bone strength, red and white blood cell maturation, iron transport, cholesterol and glucose metabolism, heart muscle contraction and brain development. It is also known for its reported “healing powers” and its abilities to help fight…

Introduction Copper is an extremely significant element in many ways whether it be biological, environmentally, or even economically, and each of its many forms has unique characteristics that serve many different purposes. In this experiment, chemical reactions were conducted on copper that represented its reactivity in different chemical environments. Therefore, the purpose of this experiment was to explore the copper cycle through the identification of different reaction types that occurred…

This Density of Copper lab was an experiment, which helped to show how to calculate the density of copper while comparing the results of the density of water. While doing this experiment we had to remember the density of water, which is 1g/cm3. However, before trying to find the density we needed to make sure we had the mass and volume. We were given two ways to help find the density of copper and a beaker. I had to first measure the mass of the copper by picking it up and gently placing it in…
