- What's In Your Beverage? How to Ensure Quality Control with CO2 Analytical Support
Calibration standards, performance audits, and the FDA's never-ending safety, labeling, and inspection requirements are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to dealing with the increasingly stringent quality control standards of the beverage industry. As these quality standards become...
- Protein Design: Automated protein discovery and synthesis
In this paper I describe (theoretically) the method(s) of automated protein discovery and synthesis.
- Creating Malachite egg
One of the most interesting and obvious chemical experiments is the experiment on the interaction of copper sulfate and calcium carbonate. The latter is contained in the shell of a simple egg, but copper sulphate should be searched in a chemical reagent store. This experience is simple, but...
- Diamonds Are Forever
Diamonds are still a girl's best friend, right? We love the shiny gems. They are the most popular rocks sold today. But what exactly are they, anyway? Where do they come from? What else are they used for?
- Chemical Safety
People use chemicals every day for a wide array of purposes, which can include work and house hold duties. Many of us fail to realize that we are actually handling potentially deadly chemicals when we simply clean the bathroom or wash the car. This brings to mind the reason why chemical safety is...

Half-Life
The time required for half of a reactant to be converted into product(s). The time required for half of a given sample to undergo radioactive decay.
Peroxide
A compound containing oxygen in the -1 oxidation state. Metal peroxides contain the peroxide ion, O22
Leveling Effect
Effect by which all acids stronger than the acid that is characteristic of the solvent react with solvent to produce that acid, similar statement applies to bases. The strongest acid (base) that can exist in a given solvent is the acid (base) characteristic of the solvent.
Electroplating
Plating a metal onto a (cathodic) surface by electrolysis.
Amino Acid
Compound containing both an amino and a carboxylic acid group.The --NH2 group.
Homologous Series
A series of compounds in which each member differs from the next by a specific number and kind of atoms.
Coke
An impure form of carbon obtained by destructive distillation of coal or petroleum.
Ideal Gas
A hypothetical gas that obeys exactly all postulates of the kinetic-molecular theory.
Moderator
A substance such as hydrogen, deuterium, oxygen or paraffin capable of slowing fast nuetrons upon collision.
Eluate
Solvent (or mobile phase) which passes through a chromatographic column and removes the sample components from the stationary phase.
