    What Chemical Can Effectively Trap Odours in Cat Litter?

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew of a chemical that trap odour? The idea is to design cat-litter using perlite as the main ingredient however; as perlite doesn't have 'odour-trapping' properties I was hoping to mix it with another chemical... Thanks...

    Future of Genetics: What Experts Think

    Hi there, sorry this question may already have been answered, several times. I tried to use the search function but couldn't come across such a thread. Long story short, I was wondering what you think of the future in Genetics? I'd imagine each embryo will be genetically modified perhaps to...

    Effects of HCl Concentration on Magnesium (HCl + Mg)

    Right so, increasing the concentration of the HCl (aq) solution will increase the H+ ions available..:S But my main query is.. Does the HCl split up to form H+ and Cl- ions which then react with the Mg to form MgCl2, if so what causes this separation to occur.. Is it simply becuase 'Mg wants...

    Effects of HCl Concentration on Magnesium (HCl + Mg)

    Thanks for a quick reply.. A magnesium strip will be put into an (aq) HCl at different concentration levels.. The higher the concentration the faster the rate of decomposition.. but I cannot justify why.. :S

    Effects of HCl Concentration on Magnesium (HCl + Mg)

    Hi.. Im trying to figure out what the affect of HCl on a magnesium strip at different concentration levels has? I can't figure out a 'scientific' response and therefore can't formulate a hypothesis :/ Any help will be appreciated.

    Solubility of KNO3: Learn How Temperature Affects it

    Hey.. Sorry to be so dopey but I'm unable to write a valid hypothesis about the solubility of KNO3 in water as temperature increases... I'm unsure which laws apply and how to write up a decent standard hypothesis.. could you possibly give me a few key terms I could research or write a few...

    Expression in terms of X for the variance

    1. 'Find an expression in terms of x for the variance of: 9,4,x,3' Give your answer in the form of ax^2 + bx + c I would usually give you some information of how I could possibly tackle this question but unfortunately I have no idea. Could someone shed some light? Thanks

    What Makes Oscillating Reactions a Form of 'Chemical Magic'?

    What are the basic principles behind oscillating reactions, I mean, if its known as 'chemical magic' what must it undergo to be such a thing? I've been looking all over the web and havn't been able to find enough information, for example, how the laws of thermodynamics are broken or how it...

    What Are the Chemical Components of Ice Cream?

    Hi I was going to do an experiment on Ice Cream (Project) However.. I can't seem to find valuable data off the internet. What I'm looking for is, what an Ice Cream is chemically made up off, the bonds in an ice cream, the forces between bonds etc and whether there are certain experiments I can...

    Medical Writing a research paper on Autism

    I'm writing a research paper on Autism, and I couldn't find much information on fraternal twins who suffer from Autism. So really if one Child suffers from Autism what are the chances that the second will also suffer, and any other information within the twins area. Thanks in advance

    Oscillating Reactions: Get Recipe & Learn How to Experiment

    Hey! Today I had a school visit to the UCL Chemistry department and was shown an Oscillating Reaction unfortunately I wasn't able to get the full 'recipe' to re-do the experiment so can someone be kind enough to write them down. Also! Would someone possibly direct me how to go on about...

    Calculating Enthalpy of Formation of CaF Using Born-Haber Cycle

    I have a question which I must do yet I can't manage to solve it, any help will be appreciated. It would be theoretically possible for calcium to forma fluoride CaF containing Ca+ ions and the F- ions in equal numbers. Assuming that the lattice enthalpy of the hypothetical compound is similar...
