...Synthetic Drugs In the Good Morning America article “’Bath Salts’: Use of Dangerous Drug Increasing Across U.S.”, the many dangers of designer drugs are exposed. One of these dangers being the creation of the new designer drug: Bath Salts. Bath salts have become the hot new thing in teenagers today because of how easy it is to obtain the drug. Although the drug may be easy to find, the designer drug is not easy to get rid of in your body. Recently, there have been many attacks from people that were high on the new drug. The most famous being a Miami man who was killed after he ate almost all of a homeless man’s face. Because of this incident, the drug became more popular and the U.S. began to take action in order to ban the new designer drug. Recently, a Delaware senator, “ praised pending legislation proposing a nationwide ban on "bath salts," a dangerous synthetic drug that's on the rise in the United States and might have led to the recent attack in Miami where a man allegedly ate off 80 percent of a homeless man's face.” (Dolak). By the senator praising the pending legislation, it shows how America is concerned with the new drug and the effect it has on their people. Through the use of ethos, pathos, and logos, as well as different sources Kevin Dolak’s article “’Bath Salts’: Use of Dangerous Drug Increasing Across U.S.”, portrays the dangers that bath salts has on the many Americans that are using the designer drug today. The author applys to ethos throughout the entire...

...Bath salts are a new group of synthetic, threatening, and illegal drugs on the market today. Cathinones is a stimulant found naturally in the khat plant. Often bath salts are composed of many different chemicals. These can include mephedrone, pyrovalerone, and methylenedioxyprovalerone (MPDV). Bath salts are composed of strong stimulants and can be very addictive like other drugs. Individuals can swallow, snort, inhale or inject bath salts to experience a high. Typically, bath salts come in small packages and include a flashy label. Bliss, Cloud Nine, and White Dove are just a few of the many names for bath salts. Initially bath salts were used for soothing baths that created a sense of relaxation and peace. Now they have quite a different meaning in the view of society because of there risky outcomes. Bath salts can impact the pathological side of users. This is when a physical or mental disturbance impacts the mind or body. MPDV is the main chemical stimulant found in bath salts.

...Effect of Molecular Weight on the Rate of Diffusion Olive Kristianne C. Quicoy Group 4 Sec. Y-5L October 7, 2015 ------------------------------------------------- A scientific paper submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements in General Biology 1 laboratory under Ma’am Joan Christine O. Adajar, 1st sem., 2015-2016 ABSTRACT The relationship of molecular weight and rate of diffusion was determined using three colored substances with different molecular weights, namely Potassium permanganate, Potassium dichromate and Methylene Blue. A water-agar gel in a petri dish was used to be able to observe the movement of the particles of each substance. Potassium dichromate had the fastest rate of diffusion among the three substances. Thus, the smaller the molecular weight, the faster the rate of diffusion. INTRODUCTION The movement of molecules from the area of higher concentration to the area of lower concentration is called diffusion (Mader & Windelspecht, 2013). Diffusion is observed when cooking pasta, a helium balloon deflates, drinking hot tea, and in many other situations in our daily lives, thus understanding it is important. A lot of factors affect the diffusion of particles, such as time and molecular weight. Molecules of smaller mass diffuse faster than those with larger mass (Robinson and Hotzclaw, 1988). If this is so, then the smaller the molecular weight, the faster the rate of diffusion. To observe how time and molecular weight affects the rate of diffusion...

...Case Study : Morton Salt 1. Briefly describe salt production, from brine production to finished round cans. Salt is obtained by introducing water into salt caverns which in turn dissolves the salt deposits within the caverns, allowing the salt solution (brine) to be brought to the surface for further processing. The brine is boiled in order to remove most of the liquid, resulting in salt crystal deposits. The salt crystal deposits are then further dried to remove all residual moisture to produce the final product; salt. The finished product is stored within a silo awaiting production. The round cans used for packaging salt are produced on-site. The cans are produced by gluing two sheets of chip board and rolled into a continuous tube. The tube is then cut into long sections and then cut again into can-size pieces. The finished pieces are moved on conveyor to where the various parts can be assembled into cans and glued. Once the cans are formed, they are filled with salt and the pour spout is added to the can. Once completed, the finished cans containing salt are loaded onto pallets and placed into inventory awaiting shipping to distributors. 2. Briefly describe quality assurance efforts in round can production. Quality is checked primarily by visual inspection including verifying the assembly was done correctly, checking the filled cans for correct weight, inspecting cans to ensure labels are correctly aligned, and checking to see whether metal pour spouts are correctly...

...FROM FOOD TO WAR From seasoning their food to conquering nations, salt had many uses in Biblical times. Nowadays when people hear salt they think of salting their food or melting the ice on their steps, but it has many other uses both now and in Biblical times. Believe it or not salt is mentioned 40 times in the King James Version of the Bible. One of which is Luke 14:34, which states as follows, “Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted.” It was very useful in culture and the military, impacting both the everyday lives of the people and the lives of the soldiers. A big use of salt in culture was with food. Salt was of extreme abundance in Israel and the surrounding area and was a common item in households. Even the poorest were familiar with it and used it. The people there used it to season their food similarly to how we do today. The people would season their food before cooking it. Unlike modern times, the people in biblical times did not have the table salt like we have today but used a different, more natural form. Also like modern times, the people used it to preserve their food. In the heat of the Middle East, it was easy for the meat and other foods to spoil, but the natural minerals found in salt would protect it temporarily from the heat....

...IB Chemistry Lab Report Design Example— Effect of Temperature on Solubility of Potassium Chloride in Water Research question How does temperature affect the solubility of potassium chloride in water? Hypothesis As the temperature of water increases, the particles of solid Potassium chloride, KCl, which are absorbing energy from its surrounding, start moving more easily between the solution and its solid state because. According to the second law of thermodynamics, the particles will shift to the more disordered, more highly dispersed solution state. I predict that as the temperature of a KCl and water mixture increases, then the solubility of the KCl will also increase. Variables Dependant variable The dependant variable will be the solubility of Potassium chloride in water that will be calculated at different temperatures. The solubility will change as temperature increases. Independent variable The control variables need to be constant in order to get valid and accurate results. The temperature of the solutions. Controlled variables The volume of distilled water used to dissolve Potassium chloride in each beaker The amount of Potassium chloride deposited into each beaker.

...OBSERVATION: During the winter, you spread salt daily on your driveway to melt the snow. In the springtime, when the lawn begins to grow, you notice that there is no grass growing for about three inches from the driveway. Furthermore, the grass seems to be growing more slowly up to about one foot from the driveway. QUESTION: I wonder if the grass growth is inhibited by salt? INTRODUCTION: Salt is a chemical compound (NaCl), or Sodium Chloride. Sodium Chloride has many uses in everyday life, such as in our bodies, in our food, and on our road ways. Having two elements, Sodium and Chloride, each have a number of jobs to do in our bodies. Salt is found in many of our foods naturally, from fish to vegetables, as well as being used for cooking and at the table. Also salt is used all over the world when it snows to prevent slip and falls and car accidents by it being sprinkled on sidewalks and road ways to melt the ice. When salt hits water or ice it lowers the freezing point in an effect known as freezing point depression and melting it in the process. According to (greenergreengrass.com) salt can also affect the pH of soil and can create an unsuitable environment for grass and plants to grow. HYPOTHESIS: The grass that gets exposed to more salt will not grow as much as the grass that gets exposed to little or no salt. PREDICTION: If the grass is exposed to salt then it will not grow as fast as the grass that is not exposed to salt at all. CONTROLLED EXPERIMENTAL METHOD: ...

...Magic Salt, Melting Snow. On this experiment, it’ shows how will acquire some basic and some practical information on the chemistry and physics of water, it’s melting a freezing points and how various differing chemical compounds are utilized to promote a change of state. For example, just plain salt can be used to raise the melting point of water or lower the freezing point. Salt lowers the temperature at which water freezes. Salt absorbs moisture and forms ions when dissolved in water. In the case of snow or ice, when salt lowers the melting or freezing point of water, it serves as a freezing point depressor. Other substances that dissolve in water also lower the freezing point of the solution. The amount by which the freezing point is lowered depends only on the number of molecules dissolved, not on their chemical nature. This so called freezing point depression is described as a colligative property of water. This property is one that depends on the number of ions that a substance produces when placed in solution. The more ions a substance produces when in solution in water, the more effective it is in lowering the freezing point of water. Salts such as sodium chloride and calcium chloride which ionize are useful in de-icing. However there are other variables to be considered such as the effects of these salts on grass, pavements, cars, concrete and living animals in the area. As for the methodology of this project, this science fair experiment also serves to acquaint...

...Connection Between Salt and Water Volume and in Blood Pressure Changes Salt (sodium) is essential to our bodies. Normally the kidneys control the level of salt. If there is too much salt, the kidneys pass it into urine. But when our salt intake levels are very high, the kidneys cannot keep up and the salt ends up in our bloodstream. Salt attracts water. When there is too much salt in the blood, the salt draws more water into the blood. More water increases the volume of blood which raises blood pressure. Some people are more sensitive to salt than others. In some people too much salt will cause their blood pressures to rise, in others there will not be as large a change. About half of people are salt sensitive. African-Americans, the elderly and people with diabetes are more often salt sensitive. If you have high blood pressure, you can always benefits from decreasing your salt intake. Sodium has an important influence on blood pressure, but we are not sure exactly how it works. Since the systems that control blood pressure include dozens of complex vascular, neurological, and hormonal elements. Although the body can rid itself of excessive dietary sodium, it seems likely that eating salt expands your blood volume, at least to a subtle degree. In turn, the extra volume may signal your kidneys to trigger a cascade of hormonal and vascular effects that raise blood pressure. And some experts suspect that these hormones may have adverse effects on vascular health even if blood pressure...
