Essays on Chemistry

Acid-base titrations are commonly used when finding the amount of a given basic or acidic solution through an acid base reaction.  The analyte is usually the solution with the unknown concentration while the solution used as a titrant has a known molarity (Levie). An indicator must be used in this type...

Amino acids can be defined as a group of organic molecules that are made up of basic amino groups (-NH2), an acidic carboxylic acid (-COOH), and a side chain comprised of an organic R group. Except for proline which has the amine group attached to the secondary amine, all other...

Mole rations of products and reactants are obtained using a balanced chemical equation. With the formulas of all the reactants and products known, balancing chemical equations becomes easy. With knowledge of the chemical formulas known, experimental measurements are undertaken for the determination of the ratios. The determination of mole ratios...

The determination of boiling points of chemical molecules is an important element in chemistry since compounds can be identified and distinguished from one another based on their unique temperature at which they turn into gases from a liquid state (Brown, Poon, and Poon, 2014). The boiling point of a liquid...

Phosphorous is one of the essential element on the periodic table with chemical symbol "P" which was found in the year 1669 by Germany scientist, Hennig Brand (chemistryexplained, 2018). Emseley believes that it was discovered in Rome, Italy and then secretly disappeared via ages (2013). Antoine Lavoisier rediscovered the element...

Bioethanol fuel is a product that results from the fermentation of sugar. It can also be manufactured by chemical means. For example, reacting steam and ethylene. A large percentage of big sugar industries can be a good source of ethanol since sugar is a great an essential raw material in...

The Brain's Reaction to Various Circumstances The main focus of the chemistry supplement is on how the brain reacts to various circumstances. The brain has a mechanism that encourages and rewards us when we take actions that help us live, such as avoiding danger, eating, and engaging in sexual activity. As...

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder defined by excessive glucose levels caused by a lack of cellular resistance or insulin production (Arcangelo & Peterson 116). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the number of diabetics in the United States increased from 26 million to 29 million in...

There is a created expectation that students will comprehend herbal remedies as the greatest kind of treatment. There will be physical and chemical interactions that students must pay close attention to. The students will conduct a water-based control experiment and then track the results. The students will take notes during...

In the Chapter “Men Without Chest” by CS Lewis He discusses several repercussions of an education that reduces and dismisses all worth as subjective and unimportant while ostensibly attempting to teach subjects such as English. To begin, he claims that a student reading The Green Book will have two beliefs about...

The students are expected to understand the distinction between physical and chemical reactions. The baking soda vinegar simple experiment will be used to accomplish these goals. The students will conduct a control experiment with water and then observe the results. The students will make observations during the testing process. At...

Carbohydrates are a class of organic compounds present in organisms that include sugars, starch, and cellulose. Carbohydrate-rich foods, such as flour, rice, pasta, and potatoes, are the primary source of food energy for many people. The significance of these foods cannot be overstated because they are the primary source of...
