    The purpose of this experiment was to explored concepts electrochemistry by creating galvanic cells and observed the spontaneity of reactions in three parts. In part A of this experiment, strips of copper, lead, and zinc were placed onto a well plate containing either 1M . Observations reported over a ten minute interval were recorded in table 1. In part B, electrochemical cells were made with strips of iron, copper, lead, and Zinc dip into copper sulfate or lead nitrate solution . The salt bridge

    Abstract Chemical reactions can be used to produce electricity and electricity can be used to cause chemical reactions through oxidation-reduction reactions. The first part of the experiment measures the standard electrode potentials of five various half cells against the Cu2+(1M)|Cu half cell. The last three half cells are prepared through electrolysis. The electrode potentials of all reactions are positive which means that they are spontaneous. There is a significant percent difference from the

    Electrochemistry, a branch of physical chemistry, is the study of the relationship between chemical reactions and electricity and centers upon the interrelation of chemical energy and electrical energy. Contributing to such crucial technological developments as the invention of batteries and fuel cells, corrosion protection and the study of metallurgy, electrochemistry is credited with a great deal of real life applications and has had widespread impact on mankind. One of the most common and fundamental

    Electrochemistry is a vital part of the world and affects most individuals on a daily basis. Without electrochemistry and the knowledge gained from it, there would be no batteries, no cars, no electronics and many other things that depended on a power source. One of the main ideas is that of concentration cells. Concentration cells essentially make a battery by using different concentrations of compounds to have a positive cell potential. If something is a battery meaning, it has a positive cell

    While Ketamine does have some stereochemistry effects, used properly and if needed with other anesthetics and at the correct dosage and indication, there is nothing so extremely unique or bad about it in veterinary medicine that I would need to overcome in order to use it in animal patients. There is one unique issue with Ketamine that all veterinarians must be aware of and need to take into consideration: substance abuse. The illicit use of Ketamine by humans as a recreational drug is a concern

    Water Assignment: Part 2 1: What is acid rain? What type of chemical reactions are involved in it’s production? Why is acid rain harmful to the environment. Acid rain is any form of precipitation with acidic components such as sulfuric or nitric acid that fall to the ground from the atmosphere in wet and dry forms. Acid rain is a result of when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are emitted into the atmosphere and are transported by wind and air currents. (What is Acid Rain? (2017, March 01).
