Rubbing alcohol

Have you ever wonder who discovered Alcohol. It is my guest that each culture in the world has its very own story. Whatever the story the effects of alcohol abuse are the same. The word alcohol comes from the Arabic word “al-kohl.” The word alcohol was used during that time to describe a type of eyeliner that women tin the Middle ease wore before it became a drink (1). Since that time alcohol is made all over the world by individuals, large and small groups because of the easy and simple…

what is alcohol? Is it a drug, medicine, or a beverage? Alcohol is known as a depressant. It messes with your ability to react with movement, your speech, and your ability to speak. In other words it’s a drug that affects a person’s mind to think rationally and distorts his/her judgements. Alcohol is a drug because it messes up with your thoughts and just like any other drug, it’s easy to get ahold of it. It’s not injected nor smoked, but consumed as a liquid. There’s different types of alcohol…

from things like a broken leg to simply having to apply stitches to a wound. These are all accidental situations and cannot always be helped, but what should the NHS do when a patient comes in with a condition that they could have prevented such as alcohol abuse, obesity, drug addiction etc. Should the NHS have to treat patients who could have prevented their condition? I will be looking at the argument from both sides and sharing my view on this topic. The NHS (or National Health Care service)…

Synthesis of reactive iron Chemical reduction method of Ferric chloride by sodium borohydride following reaction (Eq.1), was used to synthesize ZVI [14]. 〖2FeCl〗_3+〖6NaBH〗_4+〖18H〗_2 O→〖2Fe〗^0+〖21H〗_2+〖6B(OH)〗_3+6NaCl (1) Ferric chloride hexahydrate solution was prepared by dissolving 5 g of FeCl_3.H_2 O (99.0%, Junsei Chemical Co., Japan) in 125 mL of deoxygenated deionized (DI) water. Moreover, 3.5 g of Sodium borohydride (NaBH_4, 98.0%, Sigma–Aldrich Inc., USA) were dissolved in 125 mL…

The heterocyclic compounds naming tetrahydrocarbazoles having the significant biological properties. The newly substituted tetrahydrocarbazole derivatives were prepared from substituted phenylhydrazine and cyclohexanone in glacial acetic acid under reflux. These intermediates on reaction with substituted aromatic acid chlorides in alkaline media finally converted to N-Substituted tetrahydrocarbazoles. Fifteen compounds are synthesized and charaterized by their melting point (MP), IR, NMR, MS…

In this study, we use the modified organo nanoclay as a new sorbent for separation and preconcentration trace amounts of Au(III) in aqueous solutions. Nanoclay was modified with 5-(4'-dimethylamino benzyliden)-rhodanine. Modified nanoclay was used as a solid sorbent for separation and preconcentration trace amounts of Au(III) ions. The sorption of gold ions was quantitative in pH range of 2.0 to 6.0, whereas quantitative desorption occurs instantaneously with 6.0 mL of 1.0 mol L-1 Na2S2O3. The…

Nic attended twelve-step meetings in the past so the behavioral, spiritual and cognitive aspects will be familiar to him if he joins a TSF outpatient program. TSF helps people in their early recovery abstain from alcohol or drug abuse. The counselor assesses each client coming into the program, helps them get acquainted with the concepts of the program and then acts as a constant support for each of the clients. TSF has evidence based studies to establish its efficiency…

Soda is an addiction and all addictions have corruptive side-effects. Some side-effects of soda include irritability, restlessness, tension, insomnia, high blood pressure, gastrointestinal disturbance, excessive urination, irregular heartbeat, cell damage, dehydration, an impaired digestive system, liver problems, metabolic syndrome, accelerated aging, and cancer. Soda has toxic chemicals-brominated vegetable oil, or BVO, is an example. BVO is an industrial chemical used as a flame retardant in…

In the first step of the experiment, m-toluic acid reacted with thionyl chloride to form the acid chloride derivative of m-toluic acid. In this reaction, the carboxylic acid is first converted into an acyl chlorosulfite intermediate, replacing the –OH of the acid with a better leaving group. The acyl chlorosulfite then reacts with a nucleophilic chloride ion, at which point the chlorosulfite leaves in the form of sulfur dioxide and chloride ion. The remaining acid chloride then reacts with…

New research suggests that excess sugar, particularly the fructose in sugary drinks can potentially damage your brain. Researchers found that people who drink sugary beverages frequently often are more probable to have poorer memory, smaller brain size (volume), due to having a much smaller hippocampus, which is a part of the brain that is crucial for learning and memory. According to a follow-up study, it was found that people who drank diet soda daily were almost three times as likely to…
