become more soluble than the rests resulting a heterogeneous distribution of the 45Ca tracer within the solid. In this article, we utilized a simple box model (described in Appendix section C1, Fig. C3) that addressed the heterogeneous trace metal chemistry (i.e., Mg and Sr) of the initial solid. In this model the exchange takes place by partial dissolution of the solid by preferential removal of more soluble Mg and Sr-rich calcite and…

Boris Kozarski Lab partner: Donovan Ortiz 9/23/16 Bio 118: A-65 GTA: Mian Li, UGTA: Shelby Schaffer Intro: Enzymes are important biological molecules that help catalyze numerous reactions in the body. They are an arrangement of proteins designed to serve very specific roles. Enzymes contain active sites that substrates bind to. The enzymes then help orient those substrates so they achieve ideal reaction conditions. As a result, substrates are broken down much faster than they would on their own…

Part one Make a 3 list of chemical safety hazards? The three chemical safety hazards are: Poison Toxic Corrosive Reactive Environmental hazards 2. What is Amalgam? Amalgam is mixture of metals of mercury with another metal and other metal. Almost all metal can be an amalgam with a form of mercury. 3. If you had to train someone on how to separate the mercury from the amalgam, what training would they need? WHY? If I had to train someone on how to separate the mercury…

A Hydrate’s Empirical Formula Aaron Meehan Ethan 11/06/17 Kotiba 09J I have read and agree to the terms of the Academic Honesty Statement. _Aaron Meehan____________11/06/2017_____________________ Student Signature Date Purpose This experiment conducted during lab was designed so that the students would be able to formulate the hydrate’s empirical formula after heating and observing the effects of heating a hydrate salt. By taking careful measurements and the usage of stichometry, the…

What is a chemist? A chemist is a scientist that studies, physical and chemical properties of different forms of matter. There are two profound chemist whose findings were crucial to today's understanding of chemistry. There names were Marie Curie and Dimitri Mendeleev, both chemist made significant impacts on modern day science and society. Dmitri Mendeleev is responsible for the creation of the periodic table, while Marie Curie is responsible for discovering radioactivity, which advanced the…

Gases, solids, and liquids are the three states that a substance can exist as. A gas does not maintain shape and volume. Gases expand to fit and fill the container. While a liquid maintains volume, but not shape and fits the shape of the container it is placed in. Solids can maintain both volume and shape. When a gas exerts force on the walls of a container, this is known as its pressure. Pressure varies based on temperature and volume. Many gas laws were used within this experiment, such as…

The Difference between Detergent and Soap The reason for this case study is to dissect the Difference between detergent and soap. In this case study, I will define the meaning of the cleaning agents, I will give you an introductory, I will discover how they are made, I will discover how they work, and why one cleaning agents is better than the other. This case study will be designed using the descriptive scientific method. The meanings of Detergent and Soap A detergent is a substance that cleans…

The Rate of Chemical Reaction and the Factors Affecting Reaction Rates The purpose of these labs is to investigate and determine how three factors- concentration, temperature, and a catalyst- affect the rate of a chemical reaction. In the first lab, “Rate of Chemical Reaction,” 1 x 8-well micro strips were used to combine a potassium iodate solution and a sodium meta-bisulfite solution under different conditions; each trial was timed from the point of the first visible reaction until the last…

of places and it is very hard to get in. There are only five places in all of Washington that offer chemical engineering. The types of science I will have to have are chemistry and labs, physical chemistry, and physics. My first year through 4 year in University of Washington, I will have to take six math classes, twenty one chemistry classes, one English class, six other credits classes might be engineering elective, three physics classes, one engineering class, and one engineering Co-op class.…

Jessica Grandier Bio 204 section 201 Case Study 1a What are the normal values for PH, Erythrocyte count, Leucocyte count, Platelet count. ( 1 point each) The normal values for PH are 7.35-7.45, the normal erythrocyte count for males is 4.7 - 6.1*10^6 /ul million and for women it is 4.2 -5.4*10^6/ ul million, Leucocyte count is 4,800-10,00 mmm^3 of blood and normal platelet count is 150,00-450,00 platelet for microliters. 1b What are the terms used for increase and decrease in PH…
