Chemistry: Atoms, The Basis Of Chemistry

zinc, oxygen, aluminium and copper. A mixture is a combination or elements or compounds, in which you can separate them again e.g. sand + water, salt + water, and sugar + salt. An alloy is a metal made by combining two or more metallic elements, e.g. bronze, cupro-nickel, brass, and stainless steel is an alloy of iron and chromium. Particle theory – Particle theory is a theory of matter that believes matter is made up of particles that are constantly moving around. * Matter is made…

Water Chemistry Essay

results of this report, the correct level of dissolved oxygen is extremely important in drinking water and the amount of alum, which must be added to untreated water to lower the turbidity, is relatively high. Introduction: Water is a very unusual and unique compound and is the only natural substance which can be found on Earth as a liquid, solid and gas (The National Science Foundation,, n.d.). One water molecule consists of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms, which are bound together by…

Anaeobic and Aerobic Exercises Essay

this matter?" and "What does each of these terms mean?" When I was present with the two terms, I only knew what aerobic exercises meant to a certain extent. Both aerobic and anaerobic exercises will help you achieve a healthy body. As we all know, any kind of exercise requires that you use some form of energy. When you think of aerobic and anaerobic exercises, you should really think of them in the mind frame of the presence of oxygen. In aerobic exercises, your body is using oxygen to create…

Dissolved Oxygen Essay

Bea Haymon Clark What is Dissolved Oxygen? Oxygen gas that is dissolved into water is dissolved oxygen, or DO. DO is essential for rivers, streams, lakes, and aquatic life. It is a positive sign to have DO in water. If there is an absence of oxygen in water, it can be a sign of severe pollution. Water ranges from very high levels of DO to very low levels of DO. Sometimes the DO is so low, there is hardly any aquatic life. Where Does Dissolved Oxygen Come From? Most DO in water comes from…

Notes On Chemistry

Chemical Property: Any characteristic that gives a sample of matter the ability/inability to undergo a change that alters its composition. Examples: Alkali metals react with water; Paper's ability to burn. Physical Change: Change in which the matter's physical appearance is altered, but composition remains unchanged. (Change in state of matter) Chemical Change: Change in which one or more kinds of matter are transformed to new kinds of matter with altered compositions (or Chemical Reaction). 1. Change…

cell diffusion Essay

using the equation below, (Crank, 1975) “The amount of a property passing through a unit area per unit time is called a flux. e.g. moles m–2s–1. The flux of matter is directly proportional to the gradient of matter.” (Crank, 1975) There are two ways in which a substance can enter/ leave a cell i.e. passive and active transport. Passive includes simple diffusion and osmosis, this happens when water is present. Active transport deals…

Research Paper On Atoms

Electrons occupy orbitals, which are located outside the nucleus. In this module, you will study the structure of atoms. Atoms are the building blocks of matter. Every living and non-living thing is made of atoms. Those same atoms make up elements. For example, gold is an element and is made of gold atoms. Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter that make up everyday objects. A desk, the air, even you are made up of atoms! There are 90 naturally occurring kinds of atoms. Scientists in labs have…
