The Chlorox Company in 2008 essentially entered into a relationship with the Sierra Club during it's launch of the Green Works line. This was the first time a product line was endorsed by the Sierra Club, which in turn provided a boost in sales for the new product line. Now, had this been a legitimate shot at endorsing an environmentally product and nothing else, this would have been a legal and ethical action. However, millions of dollars in donations were subsequently made based on annual sales of the product line. That being said, these actions must be considered legal and unethical as there is nothing illegal in the donation of money, however, it seems ironic that the donations appeared to be in conjunction with a form of a kickback for
In this experiment, a Friedel-Crafts acylation was carried our by reacting acetic anhydride (the acylating agent) and dichloromethane (solvent) with anisole to substitute an acyl group onto the aromatic ring of anisole. Friedel-Crafts reaction can be classified as an electrophilic aromatic substitution. This involves an electrophile replacing a hydrogen atom located in the aromatic compounding forming a new carbon-carbon double blond. Acylation of a monosubstituted benzene has the opportunity to yield any or all three different disubstituted products. We used the boiling point and results from 1H NMR spectroscopy to determine if the product was a single product or a mixture of isomers. Say something about yields, NMR, and boiling point....
Chlorine was first discovered by a man whose profession was in the medical field. However, since it was 1774, the technology wasn’t as advanced and therefore led him to misleading conclusions. Carl Wilhelm Sheele was a Swedish pharmacist who, “released a few drops of hydrochloric acid onto a piece of manganese dioxide in his lab, and a greenish-yellow gas was produced in a matter of seconds…” (Alchin, Linda. “The Element Chlorine.” What Is Chlorine?, www.elementalmatter.info/element-chlorine.htm.). Before Sir Humphry Davy, people thought that Chlorine was a form of oxygen. Sir Humphry Davy later proved otherwise. Although this element was never thought to be used this way, in World War I Chlorine was used as a “choking agent”. Men would suffer
This week I learnt about chlorpromazine, which is an antipsychotic. It is also used in short-term management of anxiety, agitation or disturbed behaviour in non-psychotic disorders. Chlorpromazine is an antagonist of many receptors, which include α1 adrenoceptor, M3 muscarinic receptor, H1 Histamine receptor, 5HT2 receptor, dopamine D2 receptor and angiotensin II AT1 receptor. This illustrates one of the pharmacology principles, which is selectivity of a drug. A highly selective drug (‘clean drug’) binds to only one receptor or molecular target whereas a drug having low selectivity (‘dirty drug’) will bind to many targets in the body. Binding upon many receptors can produce many effects but some effects are not desired. For example, chlorpromazine
Society during 1800’s was vigorous due to the comparison of risk to use chloroform, with women being Snow’s main target in research there was still confusion amongst pubic. Despite this religion had mixed views about chloroform, some would refuse its use and others had no reasons for their opinion but some had no concerns due to the Queens uses. A few religions views were supported by media, whereas others supported Simpson’s views and medical support was similar in the way of split views of chloroform, but was widely discussed but some medical leaders believed chloroform was unethical. The Church of England preached the uses of chloroform, but because of the Queen’s uses their views changed because of the success. In the 20th century, chloroform
In the post 9/11 era of America, terrorism has become an unfortunate part of life. Since that day, America has seen six different attacks that have been aspired by Islamic extremism. From the anthrax attack in late 2001 to the San Bernardino attack in 2015 the increased violence has only become more frequent and more difficult to predict (Ilich, 2016). This includes the most recent example or Islamic extremism that occurred in Orland, FL at Pule night club when 29 year old Omar Mateen opened fire on unsuspecting victim claiming the lives of 49 and wounding an additional 53 (Ilich, 2016). The Boston bombing was the first time since the anthrax attacks that terrorism involved more than just a firearm (Ilich, 2016). The evolution of attacks makes since to move on from simple weapons to chemical attacks. The threat of chlorine attacks has to be considered with the ever growing use of it in Iraq and Syria. This discussion will look at the history of chlorine as a weapon. Then review current uses of chlorine as a weapon by Islamic extremist. Afterwards, theoretically look at how a chlorine weapon should be used in the United States, specifically Las Vegas. Then finish with how to prevent that attack.
Another kind of incident that occurred before when Ken should've done something when he had the chance was when David sniffed chloroform. This substance, chloroform, was known as a very dangerous substance to have around your house. A chloroform is a, “primitive anesthetic commonly used during surgery in the mid-18002”(silverstein 17). Chloroform was initially used to make people sleep so they wouldn’t feel the pain of surgeries. It could be dangerous if you sniff it a lot. But David didn't care about that. Reading his favorite book, the golden book, it, “urged readers to sniff carefully…David took the challenge, but apparently sniffed too vigorously and ended up flat on his back. He estimated he was out for more than an hour”(Silverstein 17).
Oddly enough, Enron had a CSR strategy with a very good reputation for having a strong and well respected corporate responsibility known for generosity to the community and being environmentally responsible. (Sims & Brinkmann, 2003). In hindsight we see that they were playing CSR. Former CFO, Jeff Skilling once told a colleague, “Mike, we are a green energy company, but the green stands for money” (Bradley, 2008). The public should be very cautious when it comes to companies and their CSR efforts as unfortunately some are just
Chlorhexidine has been used for over 60 years for multiple purposes, first being used as a disinfectant in the 1950’s to being introduced in 1988 for the first skin preparation combination launched in the United States and then finally approved by the FDA in 2005 for peri-operative preparation. In 2010 the first chlorhexidine needless connectors were introduced, as well as the first impregnated peripheral inserted central catheter was cleared as an antimicrobial catheter. Over that period it has proven its broad-spectrum efficacy and safety. It has been used in preoperative patient for prevention of nosocomial infections during
Social: Deceiving the public like Volkswagen (VW) did not only diminishes the company’s reputation, but also public trust in the business, and therefore increases consumers’ belief in ‘greenwashing’ or ‘greenfrauding’ (3p Contributor, 2016). As a result, consumers will start supporting a more ‘trustworthy’ and ‘environmentally friendly’ car manufacturers.
Chlorine is a dangerous solution when not properly used correctly. It has negative and a few positive effects. Also, developing a limited amount of time around it can help prevent some effects caused by think compound. Chlorine can develop many effects on physical features, someone who is not in use of a chlorine pool, and the health risks of an individual.
Chlorine is one of the most widely used disinfectant. It is very effective for the deactivation of pathogenic microorganisms. Chlorine can be easily applied, measured and controlled. It is also relatively inexpensive.
Chlorine is a commonly known element highly notable for its use as a sanitizer in most swimming pools. Chlorine, when poured into water, breaks down into various smaller chemicals that are efficient in killing different bacterias and viruses. Acids invade bacterium and destroy the proteins’ ability to function, causing the cell to die.
An initial amount of chlorine is reduced to chloride by the reducing agents present, and
Chlorine was discovered in 1774 and was discovered by Ccarl Wwilhelm Sscheele. Tthe origin of chlorine Ggreek word is chloros, which mean greenish- yellow. Tthe atomic number is 17 and the atomic mass number is 35.45 . Tthe electron configuration is [Ne]3s2 3p5. Chlorine kills bacteria; it is used to treat drinking water and swimming pools water. In the past, chlorine was commonly used to make chloroform and carbon tetrachloride;. hHowever both of these chemicals are now strictly controlled as they can cause liver damage. Chlorine gas is itself very poisonous and used as chemical weapon during the first world war. A dense greenish yellow gas was evolved which recorded as having a choking smell and which dissolved in water to give acid solution.
Chlorine-36 ages (Paterson et al., 2005) show a progression with distance over the Dakhla Basin eastward from 210-230 kyr in Dakhla reaching ~600 kyr in Kharga and northeastward to 320 kyr in Farafra and 700 kyr in Bahariya (Fig. 5). 36Cl/Cl ratios vertically indicate long, deep flowpaths of the paleorecharge near the southern highlands of the Uweinat area. Late Quaternary recharge appears to affect the shallow aquifer horizons only (Paterson et al., 2005).
