Flame retardant

exposed to flame retardant, which “can cause children to have a lower IQ and other health problems” (Dr. Mercola). Flame retardant is used in children's pajamas, in mattresses, and in couches. According to the Global Healing Center, "Flame retardants -- globally recognized as toxic contaminants -- have been associated with reproductive disorders, cancer, immune dysfunction, hormone disruption, suppressed thyroid function, and serious damage to fetal and child brain development ("10 Shocking Facts About Flame Retardants”). In conclusion, while I do agree with pro-lifers' position to protect unborn fetuses, I also believe that pro-lifers should be just as dedicated to protecting the lives of children who face undue challenges because they are born into the foster care system or into the poverty. What's more, pro-lifers would be more consistent in their desire to protect unborn children if they also choose to protect unborn children as well as living children from toxic exposures that threaten their health and quality of life.

In this lab, we tested different experiments on a candle flame in order to better understand properties, combustion, and states of matter. We recorded many observations that could help us reach a conclusion using what we saw happen. When we observed the regular candle flame, we concluded that the heat of the flame vaporizes the liquid wax. Then, we blew this candle out and took a different lit candle into the smoke trail from the burnt out candle. The wax vapor in the smoke is combustible,…

Then I dipped it in the water. The next time we came the mine I tried the chisel for a while, however heat treating also makes the metal more brittle and after only an hour or so it shattered. Then I remembered that my blow torch was in the car, the melting temperature of copper was 1,984 F, and my blow torch could reach that temperature. I ran outside grabbed my blow torch and held the flame up to one of the chucks holding it the wall. Twenty minutes later one of my friends shout “Jon! HEY…

This is a test to see if SO4 is present in the solution. If the mixture has a white precipitate of Barium Sulfate, then the solution has a sulphate ion present (4). Taking one of the remaining test tubes, add 0.1 mL of BaCl2 into the solution and mix well. HCl Test Fig 5. If HCl is present in the solution, bubbling and a strong smell of ammonium should be present. Using the remaining test tube, add 0.1 ml of HCl into the solution. Record your findings. Record Conductivity using…

and encounters her previous lover, Alcee, whom she invites in her home out of the elements. After she voiced her concern for her husband and son during the storm, lightening frightened Calixta, and she shared her fear of the house being hit by lightning, Alcee held her for comfort. They spoke of past times together, as it was, the feeling of comfort leads to more than talking between them. Little did she know that by opening her house for shelter from a storm of nature, Calixta, opened herself…

society. They help provide light and fire for people. Candles are made out of primarily wax. Wax helps a candle burn. A candle runs on a flame and fire needs oxygen to burn and keep the flame alive. In this lab, we had to observe a burning candle. We did this to see the physical…

Prometheus was constantly at odds with Zeus, and endured severe punishment for giving fire to humans. Zeus punished Prometheus through humankind as well, by indirectly unleashing all evils on the world. Symbolism related to Prometheus can be found in fire, the colours of fire, punishment, trickery, forethought or intelligence, progress, rebellion, garlands, and camaraderie. Prometheus is perfect to endorse “Fight-Me-Not Flames” because he has gone through hardship that could have been avoided…

When flame test research is performed on an element, it is easy to see the color changes just by physically observing it. Often, many elements can have similar emission spectra’s, which is why Kirchhoff invented the Spectrometer. This is a specialized device that uses a prism and two mirrors that allow the light to be conducted into its unique emission spectra. From elements such as lithium to others like selenium, every single element has its own unique color or elemental fingerprint; this is…

Either the flame, what wax was used to craft the candle or the condition of…

To start off my hypothesis is, if a lighter colored candle has more entrapped air then it will burn quicker because they have less wax. I got this idea from engineering.com and my mom. I thought that this experiment would be fun because if I could prove it was correct then darker color candle would be a better option to buy because they will last longer. Next, the purpose of this experiment is to show if color affects the amount of time a candle burns. Going back to what I said in the paragraph…
