Chem120 discussion Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Initial Post Instructions 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.

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 of 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 outside sources. Ensure all citat...

Week 8 Discussion: Wrap-Up 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.

Week 4 Discussion: Chemistry in the World Around Us Required Resources Read/review the following resources for this activity: • Textbook: Chapter 9, 10, 13 • Lesson Initial Post Instructions While we often do not realize it, acidic and basic solutions are a part of our daily lives. Pick a solution in your home, work, or even outside (be sure to check the label to make sure that whatever you are measuring is nonhazardous and water based). Some possible solutions are shampoos, beverage...

Choose a compound that is classified as an ether, aldehyde, ketone, ester, or 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 7 Discussion: Flow of Genetic Information Genetics in forensic science 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.

Your initial post in the discussion this week consists of two parts. First, choose a molecule used in healthcare, industry, or found in a natural source and discuss the importance of this molecule. Be sure to include at least one outside source and make sure to follow APA citation guidelines. The electron configuration of an atom determines the number of electrons available to participate in bonding with another atom. One method of depicting the valence electrons that an atom has is through the...

Initial Post Instructions The Discussions in this course are set up deepen your understanding of the material as you make real world connections and employ creative thinking. To get the most from these discussions, full engagement is expected on the part of the student. Be sure to stop by the discussion section frequently, not only to post, but to read the postings of your peers and instructor. Engaging with your peers and learning together is key to this experience. For your initial post, choo...

Required Resources Read/review the following resources for this activity: • Textbook: Chapter 5, 6, 11 • Unit 3 lesson Initial Post Instructions For your initial post pick a combination of one of the following molecules, one mass quantity, and one total solution volume from this table. You may not use the same combination as another student so be sure to read any existing peers postings before posting your own.
