Introduction to Chemistry I (MAE1106) Chapter 1: Properties, Measurement and Units Matter: All things we can see, or touch, whether books, pencils, telephones, or people as they have some thing in common. They are all composed of matter which is defined as anything that takes up space and has mass. Matter is generally considered to be a substance (often a particle) that has rest mass and (usually) also volume. Mass and weight are not really the same. The mass of a body is a measure of its

understanding it’s fundamentals until the chemical revolution. By the 16th century there had been many advances in the field later to be known as chemistry; smelting and refining of metals, the production of glass ware, pottery and dyes, the development of explosives, artists’ materials, and medicines (Butterfield, 191). Despite the production of these materials, they are not enough to be attributed to a science. As Butterfield suggests, the results of early chemical experiments lacked “adequate intellectual

Biology Professor Smith 27 November 2010 Analysis of a Leaf Extract Introduction: Photosynthesis occurs when proteins in plant cells absorb light. Chlorophyll, the most commonly known pigment in plants, absorbs red and blue light, while reflecting the color green. Because of this, many plants are found to be the color green. There are, however, a wide variety of plants that range in color from red to violet. This is due to the different number of plant pigments that compose a plant

social-psychological process involving the activation of moral norms against harming innocent people. In a preliminary test of the model's social-psychological hypotheses, judgments about the moral obligations of industry with respect to hazardous chemicals were found to depend both on awareness of harmful consequences to people and on ascription of responsibility for those consequences to industry; government, however, was held to be morally obligated to act even if it was not responsible for the harm

Forensic Chemistry Forensic Chemistry is a branch of chemistry that deals with chemical analysis of evidence found at crime sites and any other substance that may have been used during a crime. Examples would be like analyzing the weapon for DNA and fingerprints, and analyzing any substance like spit or blood that might contain the criminal's or the victim's DNA in it. Forensic Chemistry is very popular today, as it is in many famous TV shows, especially CSI, which means crime scene investigator

2 ABSTRACT The effect of molecular weight on the rate of diffusion was assessed using two tests: the glass tube test and the agar-water gel test. In the glass tube set-up, two cotton plugs soaked in two different substances (HCl and NH4OH) were inserted into the two ends of the glass tube. The substance with the lighter molecular weight value (NH4OH, M = 35.0459 g/mole) diffused at a faster rate (dAve = 25.8cm), resulting in the formation of a white ring around the glass closer to the side

Mixtures and Compounds XXXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXXX SCI-110 9 May 2011 Mixtures and Compounds Describe the difference between a mixture and a compound. Chemical compounds are in every known object or substance. They are composed of two elements that combine with each other. They can also be more than two elements. Compounds are one of three forms of matter, and the other two are element mixtures. Compounds have a definite composition, as water will always consist of 88.9% oxygen and
