It is no denying that the internet is one of the most innovational and the most influential invention in this generation. Even with all the countless advantages it brought to our society‚ the Internet had also brought some of its disadvantages. In Nicholas Carr’s article‚ “Is Google Making Us Stupid?”‚ the article discusses a few of the Internet’s drawbacks in our society. Through the use of pathos‚ logos‚ and ethos‚ Carr is trying to inform the audience about the damaging effects of the Internet

Louis Pasteur And The Alcoholic Fermentation Abstract: Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) was a French chemist and microbiologist known for his discoveries in the field of vaccination‚ pasteurization and microbial fermentation. His discoveries have saved many lives and his contributions to science‚ technology‚ and medicine are nearly without precedent. This paper will focus on one of the aspect of his work that relates mostly to chemistry: the alcoholic fermentation. Louis Pasteur:

characteristics of Gypsum it had a practical use. In ancient Egyptian times the Alabaster form of gypsum was used to help build pyramids. Fast forward a few centuries to the 18th century‚ the chemical properties were defined‚ by a chemist named Lavoisier. As the world began exploring during the 18th century‚ large deposits of gypsum were found near Paris‚ France. The French began to use gypsum as building materials as well as decorative material by dehydrating gypsum. Dehydrating gypsum helped to

of oxygen as an element was accomplished by the French scientist Antoine-Laurent LAVOISIER (1743-94). Lavoisier’s experimental work‚ which extended and improved upon Priestley’s experiments‚ was principally responsible for the understanding of COMBUSTION and the establishment of the law of conservation of matter. Lavoisier gave oxygen its name‚ which is derived from two Greek words that mean "acid former." Lavoisier held the mistaken idea that oxides‚ when dissolved in water‚ would form only acids

Classification: Carolus Linneaus classified living organisms by their similarities and differences. This was later changed to classifying them by evolutionary relatedness due to Charles Darwin’s theory mentioned above. Bioenergetics: Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier conducted experiments which showed that life energy operated the same as inanimate energy. One of the most important things to come from these experiments was the finding of chemical reactions in cells. Homeostasis: Claude Bernard found that

Robert Boyle (16271691) was born at Lismore Castle‚ Munster‚ Ireland‚ the fourteenth child of the Earl of Cork. As a young man of means‚ he was tutored at home and on the Continent. He spent the later years of the English Civil Wars at Oxford‚ reading and experimenting with his assistants and colleagues. This groupwas committed to the New Philosophy‚ which valued observation and experiment at least as much as logical thinking in formulating accurate scientific understanding. At the time of the restoration

Currently scientist and also students use the periodic table that was created by the past scientists‚ but perhaps in the future the periodic table may be improved. The article shows how the periodic table was improved upon over the years. “It was Lavoisier who wrote the first extensive list of elements - containing 33 elements. He distinguished between metals and non-metals‚ dividing the few elements known in the 1700’s into four classes. Then John Dalton made atoms even more convincing‚ suggesting

Sulfur Physical and chemical properties: Sulfur is classified as an odourless‚ tasteless‚ soft‚ light yellow solid. It is insoluble in water‚ but is soluble in carbon disulfide. Sulfur is very reactive; it reacts with all metals except gold and platnium‚ forming sulfides. It also forms compounds with various non-metallic elements. Sulfur forms over 30 solid allotropes. Sulfur is a chalogen (group 16 of the periodic table) and a non metal. Sulfur’s atomic weight is 32.06. It has 16 electrons‚ protons

100 Greatest Discovery Video Notes Summary The first discovery in chemistry‚ the discovery of oxygen by Joseph Priestley in the 1770s‚ started when scientists searched for “new air”” known as gas. Later‚ Antoine Lavoisier named it oxygen and described its role. The next discovery was the atomic theory by John Dalton‚ who at first called the atomic weights “the relative weights of ultimate particles”. His atomic theory was the revolutionary system that described the relationship between atoms and
