WEEK 1 Discussion:
Option 1:
We will begin this topic by practicing the use of the scientific method. The steps of the scientific method are: observation, hypothesis, experiment, results, and theory. Using your understanding of the scientific method from your readings and lessons, you will be applying this knowledge to a real world situation. Take a real world scenario in the news, or another outside source and apply the scientific method, being sure to detail the controls on your experiment. Describe a result that would confirm your hypothesis.
WEEK 2 Discussion:
Option 2:
One of the molecules that is commonly used in healthcare is benzylpenicillin acid which is penicillin. Benzylpenicillin acid is important to the molecule because it treats many bacterial infections. And as well is considered a safe, effective and tolerable antibiotic for most people.
An electron configuration determines the number of electrons in an atom that are available to bond to another atom. The formula of penicillin is C16 H18 N 2 O4 S, meaning there’s 16 carbon atoms, 18 hydrogen atoms , 2 nitrogen atoms , 4 oxygen atoms and one sulfuric atom.
An element that I chose from the periodic table is arsenic. It has 18 valence electrons. It also has 3 orbitals in the p-block section of the periodic table.
- Find an example of an important chemical reaction used in industry or clinical setting and do each of the following. Note, you cannot choose the same reaction as a peer.
- Explain the significance of the reaction you chose. This will require research so be sure to cite all sources used in APA format.
- State the reaction without the use of any coefficients so that a peer can balance the chemical reaction your discussed
WEEK 3 Discussion:
This week, we are studying the ideal gas law. In this discussion, you will be trying your hand at applying one of the ideal gas laws to a real-world situation. Consider a situation that involves an ideal gas law and discuss how you would apply your chosen ideal gas law to the situation. Write your own ideal gas law problem based on this situation but DO NOT solve this yourself. A peer will solve the problem you wrote
WEEK 4 Discussion:
Option 2: Choose a compound that is classified as ether, aldehyde, ketone, ester, alcohol, or amide. Report on important applications of this compound using at least one outside source. Next, write the condensed structural formula of a simple molecule with an ether, aldehyde, ketone, ester, or alcohol functional group for your peers to name (do not give away the answer!).
WEEK 5 Discussion:
Hello everyone; hope your week is going well. I chose option 1.
A growing concern in agricultural and food chemistry is the presence of residues in food. We use many forms of organic chemicals in agriculture and food chemistry and there is growing concern as to how safe these materials are. Choose an organic chemical used in agricultural or food chemistry and report on the functional groups contained in your compound, the uses of the compound, and the safety of that compound. This research will require one or more
WEEK 6 Discussion:
Genetics is a rapidly evolving area of science. Each year advances in genetics bring exciting new technologies to the market. Areas such as forensics, genealogy, and healthcare have all been affected by new genetic technologies. Choose a genetic technology and report on how this technology is affecting or will effect our lives. Give at least one outside source and cite in APA format.
WEEK 7 Discussion:
Option 2: Genetics is a rapidly evolving area of science. Each year advances in genetics bring exciting new technologies to the market. Areas such as forensics, genealogy, and healthcare have all been affected by new genetic technologies. Choose a genetic technology and report on how this technology is affecting or will affect our lives. Give at least one outside source and cite in APA format.
WEEK 8 Discussion:
In this final post, you will be applying what you have learned in the class to the real-world. Choose an article involving chemistry published within the last six months. Explain how a chemistry topic you learned in this course can be used to understand the chemistry behind this article. Be sure to cite your source in APA citation.
