Measuring Chirality in Ibuprofen Using a Homemade Polarimeter Sydney Guerin December 9, 2016 May River High School Abstract For this project, I will be conducting multiple experiments regarding the chirality of different forms of ibuprofen. The question I’m trying to solve is whether or not common brands of ibuprofen have the same formulation. In order to perform this exercise, I will need to create a homemade polarimeter in order to measure the angle at which the brands of ibuprofen will reflect
My dearest grandmother, It has been some time since I have written you but you see, I can never exactly find the time to. It’s the afternoon right now and I just finished my assigned duties. I’ve finally settled down in one place so I’ve decided to write you. I woke up today and remembered what day it is. Today, August 13, is grandfather’s 72nd birthday. Are the both of you celebrating together? Tell him I say happy birthday. I wish I could be there. Life over here isn’t bad. I know that you’re
What I summarized from the introduction was that the Gaston’s had been trapped by there own trash that they had gathered over the years. it was tons of items from coke bottles to news papers to other daily item that they had kept over the years and where unable to part with. The Gaston’s hoarding grew with them, which left unable, to part with their trash and trapped inside the there home. Today in America anywhere from 3 and 6 million people are thought to be hoarders. Most of us are not like the
If you are a home preserver, you know this struggle is real: what to do with your collection of used canning lids? The metal lids can only be used once for safety reasons. Yet, you can’t see to bring yourself to toss them. After a few seasons, you find yourself up to your ears with little metal lips. Now worries, here’s a simple craft that will upcycle those used lids into a fun, educational game for little ones. Supplies Canning lids Chalkboard paint Magnets Paint brush (not shown) Scissors
Seal Company was the fourth largest producer of metal cans and crowns1 in the United States. Under John Connelly, chairman and CEO, Crown had raised itself up from near bankruptcy in 1957. After 20 years of consistent growth, the company had emerged as a major force in both the domestic and international metal container markets (see Exhibit 1). During those 20 years, Crown Cork and Seal had concentrated its manufacturing efforts on tin-plated cans for holding beer, soft drinks, and aerosol products
successfully float with 50 pennies for 20 seconds was Tyler’s design that was built with two pop cans and two sheets of aluminum paper (one is used to wrap the cans while the other is used to make a “cup” to hold the pennies). However, when the group weighed this in class, it was around 31 grams, which is 4.5 grams overweight (the requirement is 26.5 grams). Seeing this, the group cut the top of both cans off, this decreased the weight and allowed the boat to meet standards. Sadly, since the opening
Tin Tin is one of the oldest elements that has been used and mined by mankind. Tin is used as cans in the food industry, construction products, oil filter in the automobile industry, and miscellaneous applications, such as cookie pans, furnace filters, toys and bulletin board. The chemical symbol for tin is ‘Sn’ which originated from the latin word ‘Stannum’ which means tin in latin. After Britain was invaded by Anglo-Saxon, ‘Stannum’ was changed to ‘tin’ which we have been using until today. Tin
which includes sand and flint. Silicates are salts in which silica is combined with oxygen and other elements, such as aluminum, magnesium, calcium, sodium, iron, and potassium. Silicon has a strong affinity for oxygen. Pure silicon can be obtained by breaking down its combined form. It is prepared commercially by reducing
Steel acquired 34% shares of TCIL. -TCIL started manufacturing tinplate's. -TCIL establishes new cold rolling facility in 1997. -TCIL supplied to 4 major product segments: Edible oil cans, soft drink crowns, processed food and batteries. TCIL was established to manufacture tinplate to meet the demand for 15 liter tin cans for kerosene. From packaging TCIL also started their manufacturing operations of tinplate's with their thickness ranging from .17 to .30 millimeters. The new cold rolling facility
facts about metals are that they are generally ductile, meaning that they can be hammered thin or drawn into wires. Metals can also be liquified by heating and then resolidified by cooling. Presently metals are the strongest building materials in common use. Found in nature, metals come in the form of oxide ores, meaning they are a compound of oxygen mixed with a mineral containing a valuable constituent such as metal. Metals can also corrode and wear away by oxidation.
