Environmental chemistry

Cherie Yestrebsky did say don't base your thoughts on chemistry on your experience in high school. Yet even so I just know that what she described is something that is not interesting to me. O’Net descriptions of a Chemist is to conduct qualitative and quantitative chemical analyses or experiments in laboratories for quality or process control or to develop new projects or products, for example her work of cleaning up waters of the toxins that are polluted there. Hearing her story of quitting high school and not going back to till after she had gotten married and had kids, was inspirational to hear—knowing that she had problems in her journey but continued her way and got the career that she wanted. A point that she emphasizes is try to find something that you love to do. She credits her success to…

Examination and Exercise of Green Chemistry through the Cyclohexanol Cycle Jesse Paner CHE 233L Section 301 Department of Chemistry, DePaul University, 1110 W. Belden Avenue, Chicago, IL 60614 panerjesse@yahoo.com May 1st, 2017 Abstract Green chemistry emphasizes the utilization of chemicals to their highest efficiency and reducing the production of harmful waste. This type of chemistry was initially conceived in order to reduce the damaging impact that chemical products have on the…

I request to take AP Chemistry because I want to major in Biomedical Engineering. By taking AP Chemistry, I will be a step closer for preparation of my future profession. This year as a sophomore I am taking AP Biology, AP Psychology, Honors Pre-Calculus, Physics 1, and Chemistry 1 simultaneously without any issues or problems. I also have taken AP United States History as a freshman along with seven other courses. Because of this, I understand the demanding nature of these AP courses and the…

Chemistry has many different career paths and chemists specialise in a diverse range of different areas. Chemistry is a science that deals with the properties, composition, structure of elements and compounds, thereby; chemists use this information to develop new materials and substances. There are a number of career paths in chemistry such as biochemistry, industrial chemistry, electrochemistry, polymer chemistry and much more. While all the other field names speak for themselves, industrial…

descent to our own demise. Things can be done on both the large and small scale to achieve such an end. Recent technological and scientific advancements have enabled scientists and engineers to protect and benefit the economy, people and the planet through implementation of Green Chemistry. The American Chemical Society Green Chemistry Institute describes green chemistry as a different perspective on how chemistry and chemical engineering should be done to reduce waste, conserve energy, and…

Through my A level of studies when it comes to these subjects, my family is the reason why I am into those subjects, and I rather keep continue studying them for a better future. My A level choices have lead me and encouraged me to develop my skills that shaped me even more to become a Chemical Engineering, for instance the skill to research and critical analysis. Mathematics and chemistry have build up to become a double edge sword that sharpened my methodical thinking and logical problem…

Introduction Chemistry is one of the broadest scientific subjects that are primarily focused on the manner in which matter interacts with energy. However, chemistry tends to be more focused on the study of the properties of matter as well as the interaction between various types of matter. The interaction is often facilitated by the reactions that involve either electron loss or electron gain, as described by the American Chemical Society (2014). Unlike other sciences, such as physics, chemistry…

achieve my goals of graduating college with a degree and a job, while growing my faith and helping others through volunteer work. My academic goal is to pursue a degree in Chemical Engineering. I decided on this major because of my exposure to both chemistry and engineering while in high school. I was first introduced to chemistry in the tenth grade, and while the class was challenging and slightly confusing, I was fascinated that the entire world is composed of a combination of only 118…

wide range of education and job opportunities. People who apply these disciplines in their careers are on the frontlines of American technological innovation. Chemical engineering is one of these STEM courses. In short, chemical engineers use skills such as chemistry, physics, and engineering to develop different and new processes for manufacturing chemicals on a large scale ("17-2041.00"). STEM fields are important to society in many ways, and I hope that I can make a contribution to the area…

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…
