problems (2015). Stoichiometry is one of the most crucial and fundamental techniques in chemistry because of its real-life applications in chemistry as well as research. Stoichiometry allows chemists to make predictions about the outcomes of chemical reactions. Producing useful predictions is one of the main goals of chemistry since it provides the chemists with the ability to explain phenomena that happen in the natural world. Stoichiometry is the heart of chemistry since without stoichiometry,…

have been a valve failure or blockage in the water piping used to cool the vessel. Since vessel could not be cooled, the pressure inside the vessel began to rise and chemical runaway began to occur. Chemical runaway is the process that exothermic reactions get out of control and cause an explosion (Institute of Chemical Engineers, n.d.). During the evacuation process, the pressure became too great and caused a rupture in the piping. According to the CSB report, workers reported a sound that…

i. Enzymes are macromolecules that increase chemical reactions without being consumed in the reaction. They do this by lowering the activation energy (the amount of energy that reactants need to absorb in order for a chemical reaction to take place). Every enzyme has a substrate with a unique shape and structure for it to bind to. Denaturation of proteins (when a protein unravels and becomes inactive), and change in the shape of the enzyme or substrate all influence the activity and…

even economically, and each of its many forms has unique characteristics that serve many different purposes. In this experiment, chemical reactions were conducted on copper that represented its reactivity in different chemical environments. Therefore, the purpose of this experiment was to explore the copper cycle through the identification of different reaction types that occurred in it and that eventually lead up to the regeneration of the original product. Materials and Methods The…

and chills. Mrs. Jones can also suffer from the acute hemolytic reaction if she has symptoms such as low back pain, flushing, tachypnea, hypotension, vascular collapse, and bleeding. To manage these reactions, the transfusion needs to be stopped and draw blood samples for testing to avoid hemolysis reaction (Potter, 2014). “A hemolytic transfusion reaction is a serious complication that can occur after a blood transfusion. The reaction occurs when the red blood cells that were given during the…

or absorbed throughout a chemical reaction. By knowing the change in heat, it can be determined if a reaction is exothermic or endothermic. Some substances dissolve in some solutions and produce energy in the form of heat. These dissolution reactions are known as exothermic reactions. Example on the exothermic reactions is the reaction between sulphuric acid and water. When we put the sulphuric acid into water amount of heat is being produced. Exothermic reactions are characterised by negative…

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. The physical observations of reaction three was the…

In Webster’s dictionary the definition of Environmental Science states that, it is “the branch of science concerned with the physical, chemical, and biological conditions of the environment and their effect of organisms”. In the experiment Environmental Science deals with how the human body will be affected in the environment with or without using electrolytes during an exercise. While conducting the experiment Aleckzar used his brother Alekczar to see if there would be a significant difference…

teach me something about the way the world worked, whether it was the way ingredients went together and interacted to form the texture of playdough or why adding baking soda to cake batter made it rise. either way, I was inundated with chemical reactions and techniques before I even knew there was a word for it and this inundation created an undeniable curiosity. Before entering high school, I had an undeterrable drive to know why, why something happened, why it worked, why it was important. It…

“Social Reactions to Adult Crying: The Help-Soliciting Function of Tears”, which I felt would mirror well with this week’s chapter on social psychology. Description of the rational for the study To gain a better understanding into the functions of adult crying and the general social reactions of those who are around the affected individual by comparing how people respond to an adult who is crying as opposed to non-crying individuals and which situational factors can influence the reactions of…
