Welcom to AmSkul Science 2018-19!!

Welcome! This is a blog for my science students to post their research, their projects, their interesting findings. We want to try to collaborate with the greater scientific community and share some of what we have found on topics we cover in class.

Happy to have you here with us! Feel free to comment and add questions so we can continue to collaborate and come to a greater understanding of the world together.

    All plastics contain polymers, but not all polymers are plastic. There are plenty of monomers and polymers in nature. Your DNA, for instance, is one long polymer.

    Bioplastics are also compostable which makes it easy for plastic to decompose into the soil.

Isomerization

Research: What are structural Isomers? Online definition:  In chemistry isomerization is the process by which one molecule is transformed into another molecule which has exactly the same atoms, but the atoms have a different arrangement My definition: When the arrangement of a molecule is changed but still has all of the same atoms. (Alkanes) Examples : - Methane - Ethane - Propane  - Butane VIDEO: Constitutional Isomers : Isomers that differ in connectivity Simple hydrocarbons such as; methane, ethane, and propane can not have constitutional isomers because there is no other way to connect them.   There are 2 different butanes that re constitutional isomers. CITATIONS: “What Is Isomerization? - Definition from Petropedia.” Petropedia.com , www.petropedia.com/definition/7019/isomerization. “Isomerization.” Wikipedia , Wikimedia Foundation, 23 Sept. 2018, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomerization.

Combustion Reaction🔥

                                                                                  Reactions Complete Versus Incomplete Combustion  So there is something we call a complete combustion and the other a dirty combustion. Fuel such as petrol or methane, etc can undergo complete or incomplete combustion. When methane completes a complete combustion it produces carbon dioxide and water. When methane goes through an incomplete under a limited amount of air it produces carbon monoxide and water or carbon or water. What is Combustion? There are many types of combustion. But I believe the most known one is the combustion with methane which is the one I put above.  Combustion can also be called burning. Combustion is an exothermic reaction which means it gives out heat. Re...

Combustion Reactions

Combustion Reactions By: Areta  8/2/19 We have heard this term relatively many times, but not in a scientific way. You may have heard combusting . This is an action as you breathe rapidly or the action of when something exploded. But the combustion that will be discussed is the burning reaction people see as an element interacts with oxygen. What is a combustion reaction: A combustion reaction happens when a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen and creates water and carbon dioxide. Combustions reaction only works with elements that a flammable or in better words combustible. We won't be able to combust a banana or a piece of cloth, or magnesium for example. The elements needed need to be an oxidizer enable to form oxidized products. Combustion reactions are exothermic reactions meaning that they release heat, though some reactions don" t produce heat. In order to know if the reaction is a combustion reaction or not, heat, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and water ...
