There are four keyholes and one oval on the left side of the central oval as well as the right side. The holes were designed to hold valuable gems or crystals. The central oval in this reliquary chasse is missing the cabochon crystal, while the crystals on the other two ovals are still preserved. Therefore, the usage of expensive gems and crystals used to decorate the chasse signified the importance and value of relics. As these reliquary chasses were to be placed in exhibition in medieval…

Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life to Nature Coast aka “The Original Florida,” where a world of historic and natural wonders are plentiful, from numerous parks, preserves, beautiful, crystal-clear springs, rivers and estuaries, spectacular, freshwater lakes, wildlife refuges, and over 25 nature-based recreational sites. Once regarded as "the lonesome leg" of Florida, this 980,000 acres (4,000 km2) area, stretching along the Big Bend area from Apalachee Bay to Anclote Key, is the…

working hard for family and for paying his medical treatment. One day, his doctor told him the rest of his life that is only two more years because of lung cancer. Due to his puzzling situation, he begins to make drugs, crystal meth. With his chemistry knowledge, he makes high quality crystal meth. It shows how people get in over their control. There are two theories that explain White’s deviant behaviors in Breaking Bad: strain theory and learning theory. First, the focus is on the strain…

yield of 5.89 g the percent yield was calculated to be 70.97%. While special care was taken to follow the procedure, the recrystallization of the crude benzil product was challenging because while scratching the flask with the mixture there were no crystals produced. This may have influenced the final amount of crude…

This lab was a two week long lab called the Grignard Reaction lab. The purpose of this lab was to perform the Grignard reaction and to obtain the final product triphenylmethanol from a halide, phenylmagnesium bromide and the starting material, methyl benzoate along with the Grignard reagent. Bromobenzene, magnesium turnings, and anhydrous ether were needed to form the Grignard reagent. To synthesize the reagent, react the reagent with methyl benzoate to form a tertiary alcohol. The objective of…

three mL of water to the test tube, shake, and remove the liquid- do this step three times. Then remove the crystals using a Hirsch funnel and recrystallize it using a mixture of 70:30 ethanol and water. Add a boiling stone to help with boiling and place tube in steam bath till solid is dissolved. Once solid is dissolved allow mixture to cool and remove crystals via filtration, wash crystals with 70% cold ethanol, calculate percent yield, and perform IR. The experimental melting point of…

People suffer from substance abuse such as; drugs, alcohol and tobacco. Most people mistakenly think that those who suffer from substance abuse do not have the willpower nor does that person want to stop using drugs. What those people don’t understand, drug abuse or some might call it drug addiction is a complex disease. (Signs and Symptoms of Substance Abuse, 2016). When a person is abusing drugs quitting it easier say, than done. Drugs can affect and change the brain and the body making the…

chemical change. D. Copper (II) Sulfate and Water: In this station, we used a mortar and pestle to grind up copper (II) sulfate, which were light blue crystals, and mixed it with clear, distilled water. When we mixed the two together, the crystals started to dissolve and the water turned blue, but stayed translucent. There were still crystals in the water after the reaction had finished. This is an example of a physical reaction, as there was an expected color change, and the liquid didn’t…

Techblades are technologically advanced blades for fighting. Most look like normal swords, however they possess many different aspects that are not 'normal'. Bio-recognition is a very common type of weapon enhancement. While this may cost extra, this can be very beneficial during the harsh war times. When you have your blade created with Bio-recognition it can only recognize you as the owner. When you handle the sword it will automatically start to glow, the blade with self sharpen, and it will…
