E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company was the first company to manufacture domestic supply of high quality gunpowder .In 1802, the DuPont family began their industrial business in the United States by building the Eleutherian Mills on the Brandywine Creek in Delaware. This was the beginning of an extensive scale gunpowder production in the United States. Guncotton, also known as nitrocellulose, was invented in 1845 by German chemist Christian Schonbein. The purpose of this invention as to create…

responsible for the production of the compound ammonia; which is accountable for the world’s consumption of natural gas (BBC, 2014). The Haber process is the method of synthesizing the compound of ammonia which is produced from Hydrogen (H2) and Nitrogen (N2) gas (Sinha, 2014). In 1909 a German named Fritz Haber developed the compound of ammonia, thus The “Haber” process was named after the physical chemist (AUS-e-TUTE, 2014). In 1918 Fritz Haber received the Nobel Prize for this method; in…

Lots of American farmers found themselves unable to make enough money to support their families. One of the main ingredients of Moonshine is corn. A farmer could take a subpar corn farm and turn it into a goldmine. Obviously the Government did not approve of this practice. There are a couple good reasons for the Government to oppose this practice. With underground Moonshine sales growing they were losing a large amount of tax revenue; secondly, there was no way to regulate production, and…

strongly recommend soil test prior to the fertilizer and lime application. Finally explain the correct ration of NPK should be in the fertilizer mixture. Fertilizer bag illustration tell to the reader how to recognize the NPK level easily.

ABSTRACT Current response of ascorbic acid-stabilized copper (Cu) single nanoparticles (NPs) collision on gold (Au) ultramicroelectrode (UME) surface was observed by the electrocatalytic amplification method. When the applied potential to the UME was 0.4 V, blip (or spike) response of current, which is responsible for the self-oxidation of Cu NP, was obtained. When the applied potential was over 0.5 V, the blip response combined with staircase response was obtained. The blip part indicates the…

During the experiment, observations were made about their physical appearance. In part I, reaction one produced a blinding, bright white light when the metal burned and the metal turned into a white powdery substance. For reaction two, there was no reaction at first and it took a long time for it to react, but then bubbles started to form around the magnesium ribbon and the substance turned into a pink-yellowish color around the magnesium strip when it was placed in the 150 milliliters beaker.…

1- Nitrogen is a major component of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Some proteins act as structural units in plant cells, while others act as enzymes, making possible many of the biochemical reactions on which life is based. 2- Nitrogen appears in energy-transfer compounds, such as ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which allows cells to conserve and use the energy released in metabolism. 3- Nitrtate is very mobile in the soil and moves with soil water to root surfaces for plant…

previous two years have resulted in 0mg/L of nitrates occurring in the water. From a chemical standpoint, this means that the water quality is outstanding. However from a creek and biological quality standpoint, it is not healthy as plants consume nitrogen, and reproduce…

The aim of this experiment was to determine the percentage composition of magnesium and oxygen in magnesium oxide and evaluate if the composition varies or remains constant. To test this, magnesium was heated and made to react with the oxygen gas in the atmosphere. This reaction formed the ionic compound, magnesium oxide. The percentage composition was later calculated based on the results of the experiment as shown in the above calculations, Figure 4. These results were compared to the expected…

concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K were 1.020 ± 0.187 ppm, 2.533 ± 0.521 ppm and 1.050 ± 0.279 %, respectively. As low values of radio-elements concentrations of 226Ra and 232Th in soil samples might be explained the less contents of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and mafic minerals (Mavi and Akkurt, 2010; Damla, et al., 2012) whereas high values of radioelement concentrations of 40K may be due to high contents of light minerals (potash-feldspar and…
