6. Drunk driving can be stopped. One thing I know about people is that a lot of people always use the term “Don’t start because it’ll be hard to stop”… nothing is that hard to just simply stop doing. I know we’ve all smelled dishwashing liquid and at some point when most of us as kids tasted it and it was the worst taste ever. We’ve never tried it again. Same for driving drunk or drinking in general. It can all be stopped. People don’t want to stop because most people just do it because they…

Drinking and Driving has become a huge issue in the state of Texas. Most likely 75% of the people who drive are drunk drivers. At this rate nobody wants to drive because of fear.If we can change our society and the number of death rates would decrease.Let's make a stand together and change our society. Changing this issue would decrease the number of death rates. In 2015, 10,265 people died due to alcohol impaired driving.…

1. Do federally compliant open container laws affect drunk drinking - Leah She has a very interesting topic about the effect of the open container laws on the crash percentage, which could potentially has a lot of policy implications at the end. I like how she approached her hypothesis with a set of panel data with a good time range (1998 - 2006). I think that this project is more complicated than the average, since panel data was the last topic covered in class. She has colorful graphs, and a…

Formation of alcohol from acid catalyzed addition of water to a carbon-carbon double bond is hydration of alkenes. In this experiment norbornene was used as an alkene to lead the formation of the alcohol. The purpose of this experiment was to make and receive weight of norborneol, percent yield and the melting point of the product. Hydration and the opposite reaction of dehydration establish equilibrium between the two competing processes. To complete the reaction of hydration, double bond will…

Driving is a privilege and it should be treated as such. As year by year deadly car accidents happen like clockwork, drinking seems to play a major role in most of the cases but there are various ways to fight back and decrease the fatalities. First and foremost, as an individual you should always refuse to ride along with a drunk driver; as well as never decide to get behind the wheel no matter how close or how badly you need to be somewhere. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention…

Dissolution test will be carried out in a simulated gastric fluid (SGF) using hydrochloride acid or a neutral buffer phosphate solution. The simulated gastric fluid without enzyme (SGF) at pH 1.2 and pH 3 containing sodium chloride and hydrochloric acid in 900ml deionized water will be prepared. Thus, the pH will be adjusted using hydrochloride(Ghazal et al., 2015). The simulated gastric media containing milk (whole milk, skimmed milk) will be prepared using an equal volume of milk and (SGF) pH…

Exploding Soda Do you know why soda spews when shaken? Which soda do you think will spew the most when shaken? The Coca Cola will spew the most out of all of the soft drinks. If the shaking of the soft drinks will have to be shaken at the same amount of time, how many seconds should the drinks be shaken? It is important for the drinks to be shaken equally. Many people would like to know so, they know which soda to drink that has less carbonation and doesn’t spew the most. Finally, the…

The experiment outlined by this lab report demonstrated the idea of synthesizing tert-butyl chloride through an SN1 reaction. The SN1 reaction took place with a polar protic solvent taking the place of the leaving group (alcohol) and creating a new replacement bond with the carbocation to form a tertiary chloride structure. The product was then tested for this structure by reacting it with two substances: sodium iodide and silver nitrate. These tests were to demonstrate that if the product…

Mr. Swell and Mr Scorch both argue on there sides of the stories however do not influence the positive Gin had on society. There were many poeple that wanted to ban Gin like the church, some were in the middle like the king or governments, and than they were some who loved it such as general consumers, famers and distillers. Gin was used as an energy drink during the 1730’s it gave strength to the working class. Gin was much cheaper than beer or wine which allowed almost anyone to afford it. It…

Are Field Sobriety Tests and Breathalyzers Effective? Delfin Floresca The Citadel Are Field Sobriety Tests and Breathalyzers Effective? According to a 2015 lecture by Dr. Bob McNamara of the Criminal Justice Program at The Citadel College, stricter DUI enforcement of laws do not reduce the incidences of drunk driving nor does it reduce the accidents of the loss of life. He also explains that much of the research shows that implementing stronger DUI enforcement,…
