Discuss how pH is regulated by the human body Discuss how the human body uses buffers to control pH or where buffers can be found in the environment and how they work Find a research article related to your chosen topic and summarize the main idea of the article and how it relates to acid […]
In section 8.4, your textbook indicates that “one of the great rewards of studying chemistry is that you become a good problem solver” and that “being able to solve complex problems is a talent that will serve you well in all walks of life.” In your initial post to the discussion, respond to the following […]
Part I. The scientific world, physicists and chemists especially, are like kids at Christmas currently because they believe they have proven that a particular particle called the Higgs boson exists. According to theory, the Higgs boson is at the very heart of all matter. Sometimes referred to as the “God particle”, it is believed by […]
Select one of the gas laws from the Module Overview or readings (Boyle’s, Charles’, Gay-Lussac’s, Henry’s, Avogadro’s or Dalton’s). Discuss the historical development of the law (who is credited for having formulated the law? What led to its development? How does the law describe the characteristics of gases?) Explain how gases respond when one variable […]
An introduction to the reaction (why did you choose it, how does it impact you?) A representation of the chemical reaction—you may Google a representation of your chosen reaction and copy and paste it within your Word document. Be sure to reference the image source. Identify the reaction type (Oxidation-Reduction) with an explanation of why […]
Discussions and lectures in these modules will review the material you learned in the previous four modules to help with your comprehension of material for the exam. In your initial post to the discussion, respond to the following prompts. Think back over the last four modules. Which topic made the most sense to you and […]
One of the best ways to solidify learning is to take time to reflect on what we learned. It’s also a time to help your instructor make the course better for future iterations. For this assignment, you will need to: Reflect on your learning — Discuss what you have learned during the class, and how […]
Ways to Study Atomic Structure: Much of what we know about the atom is limited either to experiments where direct imaging is not possible or to the very few studies that contain some hazy images. How can the development of equipment to visualize atoms and subatomic particles be useful in research? Considering the billion-dollar under-taking, […]
Objectives Discuss how the primary structure of nucleic acids is the order of bases in the polynucleotide sequence, and the secondary structure is the three-dimensional conformation of the backbone. Discuss the monomers of nucleic acids are nucleotides. Discuss how the bases are bonded to the sugars, forming nucleosides. Summarize how nucleosides are linked by ester […]
Classification helps us categorize different substances based on a set of characteristics. Define the most common characteristics of a solid and a liquid along with examples that fall under each category. What are the limitations to categorizing substances in only 3 categories? How is it useful? Provide at least two example substances found outside these […]
