Organic Chemistry And Equilibrium

Organic Chemistry And EquilibriumChemical Equilibrium, otherwise known as equilibrium, is the science that uses chemistry as a tool to study the laws of chemical interaction. It explores the interactions between molecules. In chemical equilibria, chemistry considers compounds as systems and then, in turn, analyzes the reactions and transfers observed in the system. The equations involved in chemistry are typically equations that describe the reactions of one compound to another or to the surroundings.While chemical equilibrium is the study of compounds, the definition of equilibrium depends on the terminology used in chemistry. For example, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms are all considered to be in equilibrium because they have an equal amount of energy at a given temperature. Similarly, equilibrium can also be defined as the same state of matter.Equilibrium is not determined by how strongly a substance is attracted to another but rather by the energy which is required to overcome the force of attraction. For example, the forces required to push two molecules of gas together would constitute equilibrium. Equilibrium has no atoms, solid, liquid, or gas. It does not need space to exist and instead relies on chemical forces.If you are interested in chemical equilibrium, it is useful to know what it entails. In organic chemistry, equilibrium involves the study of how molecules of different mass, concentration, or number of electrons interact with each other. As a result, the reaction of one substance to another or the transfer of one substance from one place to another would also be considered equilibrium. The main types of equilibrium are chemical conduction, chemical diffusion, and chemical equilibrium.The main interest of chemical equilibrium is that it is not just concerned with the interaction of molecules, but also how the molecules affect the surroundings. For example, if two molecules of water have an equal number of molecules of air, how will t his affect the properties of the environment? Another important part of chemical equilibrium is that these interactions are generally a matter of rules rather than random chance. Thus, if you were to discover that something like two-carbon hydrocarbons are common, would this be evidence of chemical equilibrium? Is there any proof of chemistry?Equilibrium and chemistry are also related. In fact, some varieties of chemistry will be more difficult than others. One example is molecular dynamics, which require much more knowledge about atoms, their molecules, and their interactions with each other than just the relationship between masses. If you are interested in exploring these questions, take a look at your favorite text or read a book on equilibrium.Chemistry will not be for everyone. However, if you want to explore the many facets of chemistry, try out an online chemistry tutor or take a class online.

4 Superfoods You Should Eat Daily

4 Superfoods You Should Eat Daily Image via theawesomegreen.com According to Health.com, though there is no medical definition, superfoods are nutrient powerhouses that pack large doses of antioxidants, polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals. Eating them may reduce the risk of chronic disease, and prolong life, and people who eat more of them are proven to be healthier and thinner than those who dont. Incorporating superfoods into your daily diet is a lot simpler than you think and is actually a tasty way to get some of the most vital vitamins and minerals that your body requires to function at its optimal potential. Most of these items can be found at your local grocer, farmer’s market, or you can even order them online. You don’t have to pick up all of them, but grab one or two the next time you’re shopping for food, as they are a small investment with a big impact. Everyone’s superfood preferences may vary, and there are plenty that I did not include in this list, but adding any of these to your routine will only do your body good! 1. Cacao An often overlooked superfood, raw cacao is essentially chocolate in its purest form and is rich in antioxidants, magnesium, and lipids. It is also known for battling free radicals and aiding in depression and cardiovascular health. Image via Onegreenplanet.org Cacao can easily be incorporated into breakfast meals or healthy desserts. I like to blend cacao powder, almond butter, and coconut milk to my after workout smoothies or sprinkle cacao nibs on top of my oatmeal or yogurt. Cacao pairs deliciously with apples or bananas. Try your hand at cooking with cacao with this recipe for decadent vegan raw cacao truffles. 2. Chia Seeds Originally grown in Mexico, chia seeds are valued for their medicinal properties and nutritional value. Aztec warriors ate chia seeds to give them high energy and endurance. They said just one spoonful of chia could sustain them for 24 hours. Chia means “strength” in the Mayan language, and they were known as “runners food” because runners and warriors would use them as fuel while running long distances or during battle. Today, chia seeds have become one of the most popular superfoods due to the same reasons. The chia seed is  nutrient dense and packs a punch of energy boosting power. They aid in burning fat, increasing energy, and even to reduce signs of aging. Chia seeds pack a ton of antioxidants that help in replacing the nutrients lost when exercising. They’re high in essential minerals like calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese and copper. A unique property of the chia seed is that it can absorb up to 10 times its own weight in water. As a result, the seeds increase hydration and improve nutrient absorption of electrolytes, which helps to slow digestion, thus keeping you feeling fuller for longer. Chia seeds can be consumed raw and sprinkled on just about anything from salads to yogurts. For a sweet breakfast or snack full of vitamins and minerals try making this overnight chocolate chia seed pudding, which you can whip up before bed and take on the go the next day! 3. Maca Root Maca, grown in the mountains of Peru, is a root that belongs to the radish family and is most commonly available in powder form. Maca is rich in vitamin B, C, and E as well as calcium, zinc, iron, magnesium, and amino acids. Maca root has been prized for generations as an energy enhancer and mood stabilizer. It’s nutritionally and powerfully complex with a plethora of health (and beauty) enhancing ingredients. Image via blissfulbasil.com When you first start using maca powder, it’s best to begin by taking smaller amounts and building up, starting with 1/2 teaspoon and eventually increasing to 1 tablespoon as an average daily dose, rotating a few days on and off. I rotate between coffee and maca smoothies when in need of a morning workout energy boost but you can utilize maca powder in many different foods. Be sure not to add maca to hot foods or beverages, as that will cause it to lose many of its nutritional benefits. Check out this link for five easy ways to utilize maca powder in food, such as in shakes or raw treats. 4. Goji Berries You might have heard of goji berries and not have given them much consideration, but their health benefits may cause you to give this tart berry a second thought. Also known as wolfberries, goji berries are sweet in taste and bright in color. Their history as a medicinal plant has roots in ancient China, where goji berries are still used to treat eye, liver, and kidney ailments. The fruit’s many nutritional claims have now made it popular in the United States. Though most often sold dried, goji berries also can be found and grown fresh. For a breakfast treat, try them in cereal, oatmeal, or yogurt. Try mixing goji berries with raw nuts and dark chocolate chips for homemade trail mix. You can also drink your goji in the the form of goji juice or tea. Goji berries also taste great cooked with lean pork or turkey, adding a savory sweetness to hearty dishes.

Facebook Plugin Could Change the Way You Read News

Facebook Plugin Could Change the Way You Read News stocksnap.io De, a student at the University of Massachusetts, attended a hackathon at Princeton University this week. The prompt? Develop a technology project in a time period of 36 hours. She also suggested that her teammates build an algorithm that would authenticate real vs fake on Facebook. And she and her team did it. De, Anant Goel (Purdue University), Mark Craft and Qinglin Chen (University of Illinois) created an extension in a Chrome browser that will tag links in Facebook with “verified” or “not verified.” This is done by considering factors such as “the source’s credibility and cross-checking the content with other news stories.” And if a link isn’t verified? The plugin also provides a summary of credible information on the same topic, to help clarify what the actual news is. And of course, it has a fantastic name: FiB. And because the students are still in school and only had a little over a day to create this plugin, they’ve released this as an “open-source project.” This means that it can be improved by anyone with the experience to do so. And the plugin is available for the masses, but they can’t meet the high demand on their own. So FiB isn’t currently up and running for everyone to use. But the idea is there, and the content is sure to follow quickly, especially with this type of demand. According to Goel, the idea is that Facebook would eventually work with third-party developers to manage news articles on the site themselves. The Princeton hackathon was sponsored by Facebook, as well as other tech vendors, but hasn’t reported reaching out to FiB to help in any way. Same goes for Google, who has been having the same problems. However, both companies have stated that they are going to “take steps” to fix the problem at hand. But the problem is a big one, and it’s only getting worse for the time being. According to BuzzFeed News, over 100 sites made up pro-Trump content (which was traced to Macedonia). In a Washington Post interview of Paul Horner, a fake-news creator, he stated, “I think Trump is in the White House because of me. His followers don’t fact-check anything they’ll post everything, believe anything.” And Melissa Zimdars, professor at Merrimack College in MA, also says she’s seen this problem when her students go to site references for essays. She made the following list, which has gone viral, as a warning to students looking at fake news sites: •Watch out if known/reputable news sites are not also reporting on the story. Sometimes lack of coverage is the result of corporate media bias and other factors, but there should typically be more than one source reporting on a topic or event. •If the story makes you REALLY ANGRY it’s probably a good idea to keep reading about the topic via other sources to make sure the story you read wasn’t purposefully trying to make you angry (with potentially misleading or false information) in order to generate shares and ad revenue. She also stated that it doesn’t help when news media uses click-bait headlines and that it’s nearly impossible to distinguish these from fake stories. There’s also the issue of whether or not people even know they’re sharing fake links. According to Paul Mihailidis, teacher at Emerson College: “I don’t think a lot of people didn’t know; I think they didn’t care. They saw it as a way to advocate. The more they could spread rumors, or could advocate for their value system or candidate, that took precedent over them not knowing. A large portion of them didn’t stop to critique the information. One of the things that has happened is people are scrolling through [Facebook] and the notion of deep reading is being replaced by deep monitoring. They see a catchy headline, and the default is to share.” However, this isn’t the only problem. There’s also the fact that people scrolling through their news feed on a social media site aren’t necessarily looking to fact-check, which means they aren’t looking up stories to verify whether or not they’re true. So in this way, the plugin is a perfect solution. According to De: “A few days back, I read an article telling people they can drill a jack in the iPhone7 and have an earphone plug, and people started doing it and ruining their phones. We know we can search on Google and research it, but if you have five minutes and you’re just scrolling through Facebook, you don’t have time to go verify it.”

Self-learning and Determination Has Helped This Boy Scout Overcome Challenges

Self-learning and Determination Has Helped This Boy Scout Overcome Challenges Self-learning and Determination Has Helped This Boy Scout Overcome Challenges Ryan, 13-years-old, Math Level L, Reading Program Completer For over 100 years, The Boy Scouts of America has aimed to foster the youth of America by developing responsible citizens through outdoor activities, educational programs, philanthropic work, and career-orientated programs. The scouting method instills the values of trustworthiness, good citizenship, and outdoor skills in every scout. To advance in ranking, scouts must follow the scouting method which encourages members for continuous involvement and commitment â€" in order to grow in self-reliance and the ability to help others. For Ryan, he found that he was able to use many of the valuable skills he acquired from Kumon, such as self-learning, in scouting. In the advancement of ranking, he has seen many of the challenges as learning opportunities just like advancing through each level of Kumon. Three years ago, Ryan began his Kumon journey and has since made remarkable strides. Currently, he’s studying the introduction of calculus and working on concepts like basic differentiation and integration in the Kumon Math Program. Committed to reaching a goal, Ryan persevered and completed the Kumon Reading Program in under three years. Before even entering high school, he now has a solid grasp on literature, having already analyzed notable literary works such as William Golding’s Lord of the Flies and Arthur Miller’s play, Death of a Salesman. Ryan’s academic edge has set him apart from his peers and paved the way for continued academic success. He credits Kumon for gaining a sense of independence and being able to work through any challenge whether it’s in school, boy scouts, or sports. “Kumon has helped me outside of the classroom in many different ways,” said Ryan. “Whether I am in boy scouts when I am learning a new skill for a new merit badge, or practicing my shooting skills in soccer, I have learned to persevere even when it becomes challenging. Like in Kumon, I learned that repetition and practice have helped me master skills.” In scouts, Ryan has found great joy in outdoor activities such as camping and receiving new merit badges. When he’s not on his next camping trip, Ryan is embracing his talents as a musician. Two years ago, Ryan began playing the cello and already has reached monumental moments early in his career. He is proud to say that he passed through the rigorous audition process to have a seat in the Virginia Band and Orchestra Directors Association’s Junior District 12 Orchestra. The top middle school-aged musicians from the audition are selected within the district to play with this prestigious orchestra. The musicians are judged on sight reading skills like harmonic structure, rhythm, and style. Ryan’s advanced math skills were noticed by his teachers in school â€" resulting in him being selected in sixth grade to represent his school at the MATHCOUNTS Competition. This non-profit organization prides themselves on making math fun and getting students to overcome any fear they have of it. In their competition, the brightest students from across the country come together to compete in a unique competition series â€" challenging students to further build their problem-solving skills. Ryan’s drive and desire to help others will help him reach his goal of one day becoming a doctor. “When I grow up, I want to be a doctor because I want to help people,” said Ryan. “I always find joy in talking to people and finding out what kinds of interests they have. I have always wanted to help people, and I feel that seeing a smile on someone’s face is always worth it.” Ryan’s hard work and discipline didn’t go unnoticed, as he was one of 55 students selected to attend the 2018 Kumon Student Conference in Calgary, Canada. We had the opportunity to speak to Ryan about his Kumon journey. How has Kumon helped you academically? Ryan shakes hands with Kumon North America President Mino Tanabe Kumon has helped me in a lot of ways academically. I have improved on self-learning, time management, math skills, and reading comprehension. When it comes to self-learning, some of the electives I take in school require me to figure things out on my own. I feel that because of Kumon, I was prepared for this class and what I must do. For time management, I have learned how to better balance my extracurricular activities and school work. In school I feel that I can quickly understand concepts that are being taught, having already worked through it in Kumon. If you could sum up your Kumon experience in one word, what would it be? Unforgettable. What did it mean to you attending the Student Conference? Attending the Student Conference gave me an opportunity to meet other students across North America and learn from them. What advice do you have for other Kumon Students? My advice would be to never give up no matter what.

How to Choose the Right Reach Schools This post is the first part of our three-part series on how to choose the right reach, match, and safety schools. Over the course of the next two months, visit the Varsity Admissions Blog for advice on how to tackle this part of the admissions process. If youre applying to college, youre probably familiar with the words safety, match, and reach. They represent the three types of institution that a student can apply to: Safetyschools you know youll get into Targetschools you think youll get into Reachschools youre not sure youll get into. You can identify your safety, match, and reach schools by comparing your credentialssuch as GPA and standardized test scoresto that of the average admitted student. These statistics are usually available on a colleges website. It can be tempting to only apply to safety and match schools in order to forego the disappointment of being denied admission to your dream, or reach, schools. Fear of rejection, however, is no reason not to apply to these colleges and universities. When choosing the right reach schools, use your skill set to your advantage and identify what a reach school actually means to you. Choose the right reach schools by thinking bigwithin reason Create a list of dream schools, and then consider the academic profile of the average admitted student. If you are within a reasonable range of this profilefor example, within 0.25 or 0.5 grade pointsyou should weigh applying. Most colleges and universities place significance on extracurricular activities and application essays, in addition to academics. So, even if your academic game isnt extremely strong, theres a chance your other assets could boost your application. However, if a reach schools academic standards are much higher than you can achieve by the time you graduate, you might want to rethink your application. Not only is it unlikely youll get in, but if you do get in, you may struggle with the coursework. Its key to apply to schools that are a good academic match so that you can get the most out of your education.
