One morning my mom said "Andy, get up and clean the bathroom!" It was
always an essential and important labor to the family. I got up and gathered all
the normal cleaning agents we used; Ajax, ammonia, and this liquid bleach that
my mom said worked wonders. The toilet I cleaned using the Ajax the sink I
cleaned using the Ajax there seemed to be no need for the other two. Then I saw
it- the bath tub, AH! There was a ring around the bath tub that I knew would be
difficult to clean off. I decided to add the ammonia I scrubbed at the ring but
it was not coming off. I then looked around thinking what to do'
"The Bleach!" I shouted aloud. And then -- it hit me, my mom's hand.
"Never, Never, Never, use Bleach with ammonia. Infact don't mix any
chemicals with one another."
This is an excellent example of common mistakes people make when dealing
with household chemicals/cleaners. In this assignment I will examine different
cleaners commonly used in my house.
I Ajax
I go to the cupboard and find a can of the powder, Ajax. The can use to
have a piece of tape to cover the top but now it has been lost; a potential
problem. The can has an expiration ...
Wildlife Fire is an important part of many ecosystems and helps maintain the condition of habitats for wildlife. The effect of fire depends upon many factors, varying from the type of wildlife to their different habitats. Fire affects ungulates through positive, but often, short-lived improvements in diets by allowing ungulates to consume new pla...

Newton's Method is used to find the root of an equation provided that the function f[x] is equal to zero. Newton Method is an equation created before the days of calculators and was used to find approximate roots to numbers. The roots of the function are where the function crosses the x axis. The basic principle behind Newton's Method is that th...
(After a lot of reading and hunting around on the net, I found a great deal of information on this topic. I had never really researched on it before so wanted to make sure that calculations agreed from report to report. Most of them did so I will base my answer on these different reports. This subject is extremely interesting, scary and a bit of a...

Man and environment are closely intertwined with each other, to maintain a balance or equilibrium in nature. Different groups of people working in different areas express it in various ways. When physical sc...
Purpose: In this lab we will observe the products of of potassium perchlorate (KClO4). We will then predict from our results the correct chemical reaction equation. Procedure: 1. Weigh out about 4.0g of KClO4 in a test tube. Record the accurate weight below. Product Weight Before Weight After Mass of Test tube + KClO4 41.5g 39.8g Mass of Test t...

In today?s era there exists a medium, which like never before is becoming a medium of communication and interaction between humans, namely the World Wide Web. This old but yet new medium is expanding and changing rapidly, thus making it close to impossible to control. The World Wide Web is offering more to society now than it ever has before, cre...
The current information technology mediums, such as the Internet pose exciting new opportunities for researchers and educators and, at the same time, present numerous questions and challenges. One of the current frustrations of many faculty includes their limited conceptual grasp of how these technologies can benefit themselves and their students....
As the millennium approaches we come closer and closer to what some say could mean the end of civilization as we know it. What is this great event that would have such an impact on the world that it could end civilization? The problem is a simple computer bug refereed to as the Y2K bug but its ramifications could be immense. This computer bug ha...
Every spring there is a plethora of new animate beings. Creation is a yearly event for most animals. There are countless children born each day. All living beings procreate. Victor Frankenstein was a scientist, and the goal of science is to discover new information, and Victor Frankenstein was simply being a scientist and creating new informati...
Helium was discovered by a French astronomer named Pierre-Julius-Cesar Janssen. The French astronomer got evidence for the element during solar eclipse in 1868. He detected new lines in the solar spectrum. Later in 1895 Sir William Ramsay discovered it in clevite, a uranium mineral. Although it was discovered by Sir William Ramsay, the identi...
Medicine and electronics are rapidly becoming a common partnership. Electronics and medicine has been around for over a hundred years. This application can be seen in early X-ray machines, as well as early doctors and healers who felt that electricity possessed something special that assisted the healing process of many illnesses and injuries. B...
