Condensation and Decomposition

Condensation

Condensation is a process of water vapor becoming a liquid. And it can also be mixed up with evaporation, but it is the opposite because evaporation is the process of water becoming a vapor. A substance tends to condense when the vapor pressure of the liquid or solid inside the substances temperature changes. Heat is also released when vapor condense, unless the heat is removed. And if it does get released the surface temperature will increase until it is equal to the surroundings of the vapor. Condensation is a very crucial variable when it comes to the water cycle because is is responsible for the formation of clouds.

Decomposition

Decomposition is the process of rotting or decay. After most natural plants finish their whole cycle they will mostly die within that same week because of decomposition, this also happens to even larger things such a trees. During the process of decomposition, decomposers provide their own food, they do this by extracting chemicals from dead bodies and organic wastes of their own. This will also eventually decompose by returning nutrients to the soil. These same nutrients can be taken up by the roots if living plants enabling them to grow and develop to the point of where their natural organic material can be recycled. When a animal dies over time it will decompose but the only things that generally remain are the bones, but the bones will also decompose over a even longer period of time.

Molecular Gastronomy   By: Shahminah Mahar-ullah Date:3/22/19 Molecular Gastronomy is both a fusion of science and cooking. The scientific discipline gives the chef complete control of what the texture, taste, and physical appearance of the dish. Molecular Gastronomy is a modern unique style of cooking that some would say it could be considered art. There are three aspects of Molecular Gastronomy, as i said before it is texture,taste,and physical appearance. Molecular Gastronomy can have a very simple and familiar taste or a new and unique taste. Taste is often a aspect that is forgotten about in Molecular Gastronomy. Mostly because people who don't know much about the style of cooking kinda forget that its actually cooking ,not just some form a science. Taste is the main focus with cooking in general and with molecular cooking taste can be brought to a whole new level since you have complete control over each part of the dish. Same goes for physical appearance and ...

Chemically termolecular reactions: The fourth class of chemical reactions

Chemically termolecular reactions: The fourth class of chemical reactions Maisy Chase Up until now only three classes of chemical reactions were known. Unimolecular reactions occur when one reactant undergoes bond breaking or forming to create different products. Bimolecular reactions are where two reactants collide and then undergo bond breaking or forming. Termolecular association reactions, where two reactants collide to form a whole with a new chemical bond between the two reactants. A third molecule, known as the bath gas, then removes some of the internal kinetic energy of that molecule to stabilize it. Researchers from Columbia University , led by Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Michael P. Burke, have discovered a fourth class of chemical reaction known as “chemically termolecular reactions.” This involves the breaking and bonding of three molecules. The team showed that these chemically termolecular reactions not only are major chemical pathways but also ...

Force and Motion

Zach Fluck Science blog Force and Motion Blog Sir Isaac Newton was an English astronomer, physicist, and mathematician, born on December 25, 1642. He died on March 20, 1727, most likely from mercury poisoning or old age. However, during his life, he made several contributions to modern science and advanced our understanding of physics tremendously. Arguably his most famous discovery was gravity. However, he had to use his 3 laws of motion to make this accomplishment. Newton understood that an object at rest will stay at rest, unless acted on by unbalanced forces. Therefore, if an object such as an apple is in a resting position there must be a force to make the apple fall to the ground. He discovered this invisible force to be gravity. At a young age Newton was removed from school to be a farmhand. Despite returning to school the turning point in his live was he left his hometown to attend Cambridge University. After attending Cambridge he returned to his hometown where his observat...
