In the year 1919, on January 15th, Boston experienced a strange disaster. This said disaster is now known as the Boston Molasses Flood. The disaster occurred when an above-ground tank filled with 26 million pounds of molasses burst and unleashed a wave of molasses from eight to fifty feet high and moving at 35 miles per hour killed people and destroyed buildings in the surrounding neighborhood. After the wave of molasses had slowed down, it settled at two to three feet in depth. Acting like quicksand

Denture teeth can be made of acrylic poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) or composite resins. PMMA is a polymer - a material made the from joining of methyl methacrylate monomers. Properties of PMMA include resistance to abrasion, chemical stability and a high boiling point. (Jun Shen et al. 2011). However, weak flexure and impact strength of PMMA are of concern as they account for denture failure. (Bolayir G, Boztug A and Soygun K. 2013). Composite denture teeth are made of a three distinct phases
Raghu Rai, an Indian photojournalist and photographer, formerly worked with India today (Indian weekly magazine & news television channel) and covered the World’s Worst Industrial Disaster, The Bhopal Gas Tragedy. The picture shown above is captured by Raghu Rai and invades our mind with feart. This gas tragedy occurred in Bhopal’s multinational Union Carbide Corporation's pesticide formulation plant. Around 40 tons menthyl-iso-cyanate gas leaked on 2nd December, 1984 causing instantaneous deaths
Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to prepare and observe the properties of esters. The ester that will be synthesized in this methyl Salicylate Introduction Almost everybody is familiar with the fruity scents at their local grocery store. Many of these scents are esters. Most of the aromas we know represent a mixture of esters and other molecules like alcohol. The process of making ester is known as esterification. Esters are formed carboxylic acid and a carboxylic acid reacts with alcohol

Israel J ournal of Chemistry, 2013, 53, 2, 61-74 APPENDIX Sample Calculation: Percent yield: The theoretical mass of ethyl salicylate to be obtained was 1.667 grams and the actual mass obtained was 0.600 g. Percent Yield=(Experimental Yield)/(Theoretical Yield)*100 =0.600g/1.667g*100 = 36.1%
Discussion 19 The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize and purify of Aspirin and Oil in wintergreen. While determining the purity through analytical techniques. During the first part of the lab the crude sample of acetylsalicylic acid, Aspirin, was synthesized. The synthesis of Aspirin shows a general trend of chemical reactions known as esterification reactions. The compound containing a hydroxyl group reacts with a compound containing a carboxylic acid group, producing an ester molecule
have the properties of relief for pain and fever. By the year 1760’s, one of the active ingredients of these plants, that is, salicin was discovered. Salicin, salicylic acid and aspirin belong to a family of medicinally useful compounds called salicylates. The hydroxyl group present on the salicylic acid is corrosive. As a result, salicylic acid cannot be easily ingested. This property is present in many other compounds that have free phenolic groups. Therefore, an acetyl group, is added to salicylic

But actually, Icy Hot never penetrates the epidermis. Menthol and methyl salicylate are known as counterirritants. They work by causing the skin to feel cool and then warm. Therefore, Icy Hot is a “quick fixer” because it tricks the brain into thinking that there is a reaction occurring underneath the skin’s surface to keep
The American people love fast food, but little do they know about what is really in their “hamburger” or “chicken nuggets”, and what damage the real ingredients in these foods can cause. Fast food has become a great part in many people’s lives today because you could get it fast and on the move and it’s also cheap. Everyone has eaten fast food at one point in their lives, unless of course they don’t eat meat, but they really don’t have a clue as to what they’re ingesting. This paper will inform

Herbal and natural medicine is becoming increasingly popular in 21st century culture. It may be surprising to some that many of these herbal treatments and medicines have been around for centuries and are the basis for both commercially prepared medications, as well as the chemical manufacture of new pharmaceutical compounds (Phaneuf, 2005). One of these compounds, which has influenced chemistry and medicine for centuries is willow bark, which contains the chemical salicin (Boon, 2009). Its origins
How branded and unbranded mouthwash effect cell numbers? Research and Rationale: In 2001 it was reported by BBC news that serious dental diseases could be one cause of diabetes. Gingivitis is the periodontal disease that is talked about in the article, this is a disease that causes inflammation to the gums and if left untreated could lead to periodontitis which eventually leads to the loss of teeth. There is no hard evidence for gum disease leading to diabetes however a spokeswomen for the British
Background Acne vulgaris is the most common cutaneous disorder affecting adolescents and young adults. Acne vulgaris is a disease of pilosabaceous follicles with four pathogenic factors. These factors are follicular hyperkeratinization, increased sebum production, infection with Propionibacterium acnes within the follicle, and resulting inflammation. Follicular hyperkeratinization is increased proliferation and decreased desquamation of keratinocytes lining the follicular orifice. This results
a PH of 1 to 6. 5. Usually gases or liquids 6. Frequently feel sticky 7. Acids nuetralise bases to form slats and water 8. They react with active metals to form hydrogen 9. React with carbonates to produce a salt, water and carbon dioxide 10. Turn methyl orange to red. The ph scale can be used to determine how strong an acid is. One meaning the acid is very strong and six meaning the acid is very weak. Some examples of acids are in the table below Formula Name Strong? HCl hydrochloric acid yes HBr
