...CHEMISTRY IN LIFE Charles Barker CHM/110 7/6/2015 Subhashis Nandy Introduction When living in a world such as ours, chemistry plays a large role in how society interacts. Chemistry can be viewed from many different angles because of its dynamics when dealing with the nouns of life (People, places, and things). With people, chemistry is how he or she connects to their social conformity. With places, chemistry is the structure and atmosphere that brings about the culture to the arena. With things, chemistry is the accuracy and measurement that brings the degree of closeness to the true value of its quality. In this paper, one will cover chemistry in terms of accuracy and precision, the relation to scientific methods, and how these methods can be applied to present and future lifestyle. Accuracy and Precision Accuracy and precision are close in comparison. In the field of chemistry and science, the difference of the two is that accuracy is the closeness of one or more measurements are to the correct answer. Precision on the other hand is the closeness of measurement to one another. It can also be referred to as the ability to recreate the same or similar results many times over. The differences of the two are within their meanings. The dependency of the situation will lie within the results of the diagnostics ran for the proper use of the two units of measurements. Explain how society depends on the accuracy and precision of measurements for products sold...

...Chemistry and Society CHM/110 Chemistry Is Everywhere Humans are surrounded by chemistry. Every product one uses on a daily basis is linked in some way shape or form to chemistry. Food, clothes, electronics, vehicles and medicines are all made up of molecules of elements. Through chemistry these elements were combined to form alloys, plastics, fabrics, liquids and gases that make up these products. Chemistry, like other sciences, relies on accuracy and precision in order to remain a reliable source of knowledge and a means for advancement of various aspects of human life. This paper will discuss the importance of accuracy, precision and the scientific method in chemistry and how these affect the lives of the average humans. Accuracy and Precision Accuracy and precision are paramount in the realm of chemistry but it is important to note that even though these two things are related they are different. According to Merriam-Webster (2012), accuracy is the degree of conformity of measure to a standard or true value. For example, if one is taking a drive that is known to be 5 miles and their GPS reflects a distance 4.9 miles travel the GPS is accurate to within one tenth of a mile. While accuracy and precision reflect how close a measurement is to a standard or true value, precision differs in that it is a reflection on how reproducible these measurements are. For example, if the same GPS from above measures 4.9 miles each time for 5 separate time then it is a reflection...

...Chemistry and Society Chemistry is in everything from a single element to complex compounds. It affects most every aspect of life in a person life and in society. Chemistry is involve with the medicine that a person take, the gas that they put in the tank of their car, the clothes that they put on for work, and to the food that they put in for nutrition. However, how does all that work to the betterment for them is due to the accuracy and precision of the measurement that chemist have come to find. The definition per the dictionary.com for accuracy is “the condition or quality of being true, correct, or exact: freedom from error or defect” (Dictionary.com, 2011). In addition the word precision can be interchangeable with the word accuracy so when a chemist is formulating a new compound they use measurement that is precise and accurate. However the difference between the two words is that accuracy is that getting close to the actual answer whereas precision is getting the same result every time and that it is reproducible and getting the same answer each time (Rutledge, 2010). Chemist use measurement everyday when they are working to find new stuff but even the everyday person uses these same measurements to do everyday work. Three types of measurement that a person might use are length, weight, and volume. In today society a carpenter might use all three from cutting the material, weighing out load limits, and the volume of a pool that they are installing. Most people would...

As Uranium, at an atomic weight of 92, is the heaviest naturally occurring atom, scientists have had to think of creative ways to force protons and neutrons into the nuclei of pre-existing elements to create elements of larger molecular weights. These elements are called transuranic elements, because they are found after uranium on the periodic table. The most recently discovered transuranic element that has been synthetically made and accepted by IUPAC (The International Union of Pure...

Poverty is the inability of getting choices and opportunities of human dignity. It means lack of basic capacity to participate effectively in society. It means not having enough to feed and cloth a family, not having a school or clinic to go to not earn one’s living, not having acces to credit. It means insecurity powerlessness and exclusion of individuals house holds and communities. A developing country, also called a less developed country (LDC) is a nation with a lower living standard, underdeveloped industrial base and low human development index (HDI), relative to other countries. The development of a country is measured with statistical indexes such as income per capital (per person), (gross domestic product), life expectancy, the rate of literacy (ignoring reading addiction). Developing countries like Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia and others are, in general countries that have not achieved a significant degree of industrialization relative to their population and have, in most cases, a medium to low standard of living. The concept of the developing nation is found, under one term or another, in numerous theoretical systems having diverse orientation for example, ant-imperialism...

...Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier Antoine Lavoisier known as the “Father of Modern Chemistry,” a French noblemen who made influential contributions to the world of both Biology and Chemistry. Lavoisier was a natural philosopher in the late 18th century, this was during the Chemical Revolution. He played a role in the conversion of Chemistry from a qualitative to a quantitative science. Some of his many contributions to Science include; the first chemistry book, extensive list of elements and naming Hydrogen, Oxygen and Carbon. Lavoisier made a vast mark on the world of Science resulting in advancements in better understanding the natural world. Lavoisier was born in Paris, France on August 26, 1743 to a wealthy Paris family. His father Jean-Antoine Lavoisier, was a Parisian lawyer in the Paris Parliament. He was married to Émilie Punctis, the daughter of an affluent family due to their butchery business. His mother died at the age of 5 and left him a large amount of riches. Through the ages 11 and 18 he attended school at Marzarin College, here he studied the general subjects. During his final two years he studied the sciences in depth, his interest in science was encouraged by geologist Jean-Étienne Guettard. This was a professor whom he had gotten close to, later on he would go on to collaborate with on a geological survey. Lavoisier was always interested in Science and Mathematics but instead influenced by his father he followed his family’s wishes and began his career in the study...

...TECHNOLOGY? * NATIONAL NANO TECHNOLOGY INITIATIVE * CHEMISTRY’S ROLE IN NANO SCIENCE AND NANO TECHNOLOGY * NANO FABRICATION * NANO MEDICINE * RISKS OF NANO TECHNOLOGY * NANO TECHNOLOGY GOALS * SOCIETAL IMPLICATIONS * CONCLUSION INTRODUCTION There have been many influences and drivers for the development of technologies that allow functional components to be constructed at smaller and smaller scale. The semiconductor revolution in the second half of the 20th century was driven by cost, speed, novel function,and power consumption. Semiconductor science and its child, large-scale integration of electronic circuitry, have been responsible for an unprecedented paradigm change in almost every aspect of human life. The change is arguably even more profound than that which resulted from the industrial revolution. As we shall see later in this paper, although the fundamental limits of Moore’s Law have not yet been reached, this and the increasing energy consumption of these paradigm-breaking technologies will necessitate another paradigm shift in the near future.In terms of the influence of individuals, the development of what we now call functional nanoscience clearly owes much to several outstanding scientists, all of whom were awarded the Nobel Prize for their work. Shockley, Bardeen and Brattain’s discovery of the transistor,Kilby’s invention of the integrated circuit, Krug’s development of electron microscopy,Watson, Crick, and Wilkins’ discovery...

...Chemistry and Society (Name) CHM/110 Due Date Instructor Chemistry and Society Chemistry is an important part of our society. It is used for manufacturing the products we use, medicine, and just about every other aspect of our lives. This document will discuss how society depends on the accuracy and precision of measurements, the difference between accuracy and precision, and compare and contrast accuracy and precision of different types of measurements used in our daily lives. Accuracy and Precision Since the bulk of this discussion is about measurements, we will start off by discussing the difference between accuracy and precision in that context. When making any kind of a measurement, we need to be able to get as close as we can to any certain number. The question often asked is, how close to the actual number can we get? If we can get close that number that would be considered accuracy. When we think about precision, it is a different concept. Once we have been as accurate as we can be with our measurement, precision would be how many times we can achieve that measurement. Can it be duplicated? Society Dependence on Accuracy and Precision When we think about all of products available in the open market, we, as consumers, expect consistency in the products we buy on a regular basis. For example, Diet Coke is product a lot of us love to consume on a regular basis. We expect that soft drink to have a certain taste and not be flat. If we were to buy it...

...What is Biochemistry and why you should study it? Biochemistry or sometimes we called it as biological chemistry is defined as a scientific study of the chemistry of living organisms, especially the structure, the behavior of a living thing and the function of their chemical component such as proteins ,carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. Many of these molecules are complex molecules called polymers, which are made up of monomer subunits. Most people consider biochemistry to be same with molecular biology. Nowadays, biochemistry has become the root for understanding all biological processes. It has provided widely explanations for the causes of many diseases in humans, animals and plants. As a student, we should study it because it give to us many kind of knowledge on understanding the biological processes which are happen around us in every single minutes in our life. Since biochemistry is very important, we must study it to know how this biochemistry contributed for the sustainable of tomorrow in the main field of medicine, agriculture and industry. Biochemistry is applied in many health field such as dentistry, medicine and veterinary medicine. For example, in the field of medicine, biochemistry have contribute in the clinical study to maintain and to give a better and healthy life to the population of human all around the world. This have been done by the scientist on how they use biochemistry to diagnose and control the spreading of diseases, product a new...

...The Life of Otto Hahn On the 8th of March of 1879, in the large city of Frankfurt-on-Main, Germany, Henrich Hahn and Charlotte Hahn became the happiest persons. Why? That was the day their youngest son, Otto, was born. Otto had three older brothers; Karl, Heiner, and Julius. His oldest brother, Karl, was actually his half-brother, having only the same mother. Later on, Karl was legally adopted and received the Hahn family name (Hahn, 1966). Otto grew up in a protected, and prosperous family. Otto was never an outstanding student but was suitable enough for his school abilities. His father, who was a glazier, wanted him to study architecture, but at the age of 15, Otto was more interested in chemistry (Hahn, 1966; “Otto Hahn”, n.d.)....
