I need to make a poster thing for my Chemistry class. The topic is Risk vs Benefit of certain chemicals. An example would be Createen (sp?), but i cant use that cuz its already been takin. Any ideas? |

urea is the most simple amino acid is it not? i know you can also use it in the dying process of materials. ah good old a level chemistry served a purpose after all. |

interesting evolume, can you tell me a little more about it? |

well, urea is virtually infinitely soluable in water. therefore, many animals have utilized it in waste excretion. Humans use it to get rid of waste products in the form of urine. birds, unable to carry around as much water as humans, use it in the form of uric acid which is essentially a super concentrated form of urine. just do a little reading, i imagine there are piles of websites devoted to urea, it seriously is a really interesting chemical. lots of benifits and the risk i suppose would be that it can be quite corrosive or caustic..(i can't remember officially which term is more accurate in this case) for example, when a bird shits on your car, you should wash that shit off before it eats away at your shit and shit. shit yeah |

caustic soda is also a great chemical. otherwise known as sodium hydroxide. it's excellent for use in adjusting pH in buffer solutions, being a strong base. It is also excellent for cleaning and disinfecting. but it has huge risks. i was once subject to a minor chemical burn at work. I was cleaning a 5000 liter heat tank with 20% sodium hydroxide when a valve blew and i was doused from head to toe with it. I sustained 1st degree chemical burns over most of my face and hands. a layer of skin peeled off and i had a strawberry-like rash for about 3 or 4 days. luckily i got it hosed off before i was burned more seriously. it was kinda funny really, like that episode of the simpsons where Raniere Wolfcastle is getting doused with that river of acid and he's screaming, "Ze goggles do nothing!" i was wearing goggles. it kept most of the stuff out of my eyes but i still got burned on the rest of my face. Gotta love the Biotech business. |
