From the Paper
"An antibody is a protein produced by lymphocytes of the immune system in response to the presence of a foreign antigen in the system. It usually binds to the foreign antigen and causes it to precipitate from the circulation. Antibodies can be purified in the laboratory and conjugated chemically bonded to a variety of substances including a fluorescent dye such as fluoresce-in. This conjugated antibody can then be applied to sections of tissue that have been lightly fixed or frozen so that the location ... "

"Osmosis is the process of diffusion of water molecules across a membrane. The contents of cells are basically solutions of many different solutes and the more concentrated this solution is the more solute molecules there are in a given volume and the less water molecules. Water molecules can diffuse freely across a membrane but only down a concentration gradient so water always diffuses from a dilute solution to a more concentrated solution. Osmosis can be quantified using water potential so it is possible to calculate ... "

"The law of definite proportion states that different samples of a pure compound always contain the same elements in the same proportions by mass. For example, sodium chloride always contains sodium and chlorine by mass. In this experiment a sample of potassium chlorate was thermally decomposed to determine the mass percent of oxygen in the compound. A crucible containing g MnO catalyst was weighed and g KClO was added and the crucible and contents reweighed. A thermometer was placed in the crucible and..."

This paper answers some questions on Lewis Dot structures, polarity of molecules, molecular and electron geometry of molecules, and gives some dot structures, polarity and molecular data on a number of chemicals.
From the Paper
"The difference in polarity between CO and SO can be explained by their molecular shape. The CO has a linear shape being O C O. There are two electron domains around the central carbon atom therefore it is linear. There is no charge on the molecule because there are no lone electron pairs. The SO molecule is a bent molecule existing as a resonance structure with a lone pair of electrons on the S. The molecule has an S-O single bond and an S O double..."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper covers the following six topics: 1. identity determined from density. 2. changes of speed and motion of molecules with state change. 3. theory of structure of atom. 4. periodic table vs alphabetical listing of elements. 5. mass nos, moles. 6. Henry's law.
From the Paper
"Density can be used to identify a substance. It could be used to determine if a sample of gold-colored metal is in fact gold. Archimedes used the concept of density to identify substances. Density is a physical property of a substance which describes the degree of compactness of the substance, i.e., how close together the atoms are packed. The density of a substance is the ratio of an object's mass to its volume."
