Benzene Benzene is a material used at the start and is used as a building for many other aromatic materials. These chemicals include ethyl benzene, phenol and styrene. Smaller amounts of benzene can be used to make a wide range of materials. However benzene is a known carcinogen (chemical that causes cancer) .so continual exposure of this carcinogen benzene vapour can result in leukaemia. Benzene has a rather dull appearance as it appears as a colourless liquid although it does have a sweet odour

Metal is a chemical element displaying certain properties by which it has the ability to conduct heat and electricity. The metals comprise about two thirds of the known elements. Some metals, including copper, tin, iron, lead, gold, silver, and mercury, have been around for many years, so long, that they were known to people in ancient times. Copper is probably the oldest known metal, known to humans. Metals differ so widely in hardness, tensile strength, density, and melting point that a definite

The possibility of a rogue state, terrorist group, or individual acquiring and using chemical or biological weapons is a real treat. The last successful biological attack in the US happened in 1984 when a cult by the name of Rajneeshee in The Dalles Oregon used Salmonella to poison several salad bars of local restaurants. The purpose of this biological attack was to influence local elections which were taken place. Authorities did not find out about the deliberate biological attack until a year

"cross-relations", solvent effects, the inverted region and the asymmetry of the Tafel plots of metal-aquo ions, and can assess the nonadiabatic character of some outer-sphere processes. Electron transfer reactions play an essential role in many physical, chemical and biological processes. The investigation of the mechanisms of these reactions rests essentially on the systematic investigation of structure-reactivity relationships that results from the geometric rearrangements which accompany the change in

Determining the Empirical Formula of Magnesium Oxide Lab Purpose The purpose of this lab was to determine the percent composition and empirical formula of magnesium oxide. Hypothesis If a strip of pure magnesium metal reacts with oxygen in the air to create magnesium oxide, then the molecular formula will be MgO. The percent composition for magnesium oxide would be 60.31% magnesium and 39.69% oxygen. Apparatus Refer to attached sheet Procedure Refer to McGraw-Hill Ryerson Chemistry
