Chemical Engineering Career Adam Homan Saint Paul College Chemical Engineering Career For my career path I have chosen to become a chemical engineer. A chemical engineer is considered in my opinion to be a universal engineer‚ exploring all facets of life. The responsibilities of a chemical engineer can vary but first start with a problem that leads to an idea and then a hypothesis. Following those first steps includes a lot of research involving many check points along the way to ensure

Total continuity equation is the principle of the conservation of mass when applied to a dynamic system. The unit of this equation is mass per time. In overall balance‚ only one TCE can be written. CCE is based on component balance. Unlike mass‚ chemical components are not conserved. If reactions occur on a system‚ the number of moles of an individual component will increase if it is a product and will decrease if it is a reactant. The unit of CCE is moles of component per unit time. While EE‚ the

Classes of Chemical Reactions Whenever a reaction takes place‚ energy is changed as well when the substances react chemically. Scientists have taken these changes in energy and generalized them. Scientists can take these generalizations and discover more about the nature and tendencies of matter. In this lab‚ the purpose was to perform seven reactions‚ write down their equations‚ and identify the type of reaction. In this lab report‚ several methods of displaying this information will be applied

Purpose: Determine the empirical formula of magnesium oxide from the percent composition (this can found using the Analytical Method and the Synthesis Method). 2. Introduction: In the late eighteenth century‚ combustion has been studied extensively. In fact‚ according to Steven and Susan Zumdahl‚ Antoine Lavoisier‚ a French Chemist‚ performed thousands of combustion experiments

Matter and its Properties Basic Building Blocks of Matter The fundamental building blocks of matter are atoms and molecules. These make up elements and compounds. An atom is the smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of that element. And element is a pure substance made of only one kind of atom. A compound is the substance that is made from the atoms of two or more elements that are chemically bonded. Water is an example of a compound because it is one of many compounds that

BPA‚ is a carbon based synthetic compound belonging to the group of diphenylmethane derivatives and bisphenols. The chemical formula for BPA is (CH3)2C(C6H4OH)2. BPA was first synthesized in 1891‚ and was recognized as a synthetic estrogen in the 1930s. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of BPA in 1960 to manufacture certain plastics and epoxy resins. This chemical compound of synthetic estrogen is used to harden plastics and resins‚ while keeping them lightweight. BPA is found
