-Sensitivity Analysis. HMG is considering the manufacture of a new chemical compound that is used to make high-pressure plastic containers. An investment of $4 million in plant and equipment is required. The firm estimates that the investment will have a five year life, using straight-line depreciation towaard a zero salvage value. However, the investment has an anticipated salvage equal to 10% of its original cost. The number of pounds of the chemical compound that HMG expects to sell over the five year life

Introduction: N-Heterocyclic carbenes, also refered to as NHC, are stable singlet carbenes that can act as excellent two electron donor ligands towards almost any element in the periodic table. They coordinate strongly to late transition metals and heavy main group elements, but are also known to bind to early transition metals and the lanthanoids. However, there are alternative methods to prepare air- and moisture-stable species that can be used to transfer carbenes to other metals. In particular

Atoms, Molecules and Ions. AN ATOM is the smallest particle of an element. They cannot be split into smaller particles in chemical reactions. Iron is made of iron atoms (Fe). Sulphur is made of sulphur atoms (S) A MOLECULE is a small group of atoms joined together. The atoms may be the same (e.g. O2) or different (e.g. H2O). The chemical formula shows the number and type of atoms present. Non-metal compounds are made of molecules: Carbon dioxide contains CO2 molecules Methane (natural gas)

enzyme: Catalase found in chicken liver. * The name of the organism is chicken (liver). * The substrate is hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)|. * Hypothesis: If the catalase in the chicken liver is exposed to hydrogen peroxide, it will cause a chemical reaction. This reaction will result in the destruction of hydrogen peroxide in the chicken liver, which is harmful to the cells; the enzyme catalase works best in acidic solutions and enzymes are denatured in very high temperatures (boiling).

In 1789, Antoine Lavoisier published a list of 33 chemical elements, grouping them into gases, metals,nonmetals, and earths.[42] Chemists spent the following century searching for a more precise classification scheme. In 1829, Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner observed that many of the elements could be grouped into triads based on their chemical properties. Lithium, sodium, and potassium, for example, were grouped together in a triad as soft, reactive metals. Döbereiner also observed that, when arranged
