__**#1**__ Ted Video

I picked the video of Optical Illusions because I've always liked experiencing them. It also helps pushed you to view one object in different ways. In this talk, He explains how identifying colors is one of the easiest things our brain can do but at the same time it can be confusing to identify a certain color with a different tint or shade located close by. Also, that our brain can make two of the same pictures appear different. Even though identifying colors is the easiest thing our brain can do, it still takes time for our brain to adjust to different colors or pictures. With different surrondings, the same color can appear completely different from each other. We are not the only ones who experience illusions, but other animals, like a bee, can experience them too. The speaker also said that the brain did not develope to see the world as it is, but to see the world in a way that is useful to us. "No one is an outside observer of nature, each of us if defined by our ecology... Ecology is necessarily relative, historical and empirical." I was shocked by how far into science and the brain someone could go with optical illusions. Our brains can play tricks on us with us never knowing. I also think that there will be a lot of value, if there already isn't, to translating colors into sound. It would benefit the blind and also help us solve other problems. It would be easier to understand if there really is a difference in color or if it's just our brain playing a trick on us.I felt like I was learning more about the obvious in nature. It seems like there isn't such a thing as "Our eyes playing tricks on us," but instead it's our brains and how it interprets the world and everyhting around us. With seeing this video, I will looked at things a second time and figure out if this is what I am really seeing.

__**#2**__ Gas Law #1 This picture represents Charles's Law; When the temperature is increased, the average Kinetic energy of the gas particles increase. In order to keep the pressure constant the gas particles must have more room to move and collide with the container. V1/T1=V2/T2 When the temperature of the gas increases, the volume must increase as well in order to maintain the same amount of pressure in the given area. In this case the gas is Hot air because in an increase in temperature. With an increase of Kelvin temperature of the gas the average kinetic energy is directly proportional. With an increase in Kinetic energy, this causes the particles to move around. If the particles collide more often, this causes an increase in pressure. To maintain the same amount of pressure, the volume must increase. [|Gas Law #2] This represents Boyle's Law: If the temperature remains constant, as the volume increases, the pressure needs to decrease in order for the gas particles to collide at the same rate as before the change in volume. P1V1=P2V2 In this case the temperature stayed the same and the volume was forced to decrease because the pressure increased. In order to maintain the same rate of particles colliding with each other, the cave was forced to collaps to change the volume and pressure. [|Gas Law #3] This represents the Pressure- Temperature Relationship: As the temperature of a gas increases, the pressure exerted by the gas increases. Pressure/Temperature =Constant In this case the teperature has decreased a large amount, causing the pressure to change as well. The pressure decreased with the temperature in order to stay constant.

The certain molecules in the atmosphere which are considered the greenhouse gases, the frequency on which these molecules are vibrating at make a large difference on the Infrared rays coming through. If these molecules are vibrating at the same rate as the IR ray then these rays are absorbed for a short period of time and are usually reflected back to Earth which causes an increase in temperature. If these molecules are not vibrating at the same rate as the IR rays, then the rays are allowed to pass right on through. The vibrating of the molecules aren't the only thing that determins what rays can pass through and which ones are reflected back to Earth. Different molecules can also bend and stretch in different ways too. Different types of bending and stretching occur with the different types of vibrating for each individual molecule. About 30% of the Infrared rays being emitted are reflected back towards the earth.

//"Human produced carbon dioxide has increased over the last 100 years, adding to the Greenhouse effect, thus warming the earth."//

//"Decaying organic material releases CO2 which contributes to the greenhouse gases"

"Water Vapour is the main cause of greenhouse gases, not CO2"//

__**#5**__ //Immiscibility// There are a few ways to get ride of the oil spilled in large bodies of water. They all vary on the types of oil. With lighter oil, it can be easiest to let the oil break down by natural causes. This would include the work of sun, wind, and the movement of the water to help the oil disperse. The usage of "skimmer equipment" can also help. The isolate a certain areawith the spilt oil the prevent the oil from spreading and becoming bigger. however it harder for it to be effective if there is a high current or a lot of water movement in that area. Another great way is to use dispersants for the oil spill. Wat this does is reduces the tentsion of the oil and water not mixing. So the oil then turns into seperate drops instead of one large spill. With this, the oil breaks down faster. However, dispersants can only be used right after the spill occured. With using the dispersant can effect some sea life like corals and sea grass. Another is by using biodegration. This is using natural bacteria and microorganism to help break down the oil into other harmless elements like carbon dioxide or fatts acids. This type can only be used for the oil found on the shoreline.

//Solubility versus Rate of Dissolution// Solubility: the quality of something being soluble/capability of being dissolved. Rate of Dissolution: how fast or how often a solid, liquid, or gas is dispersed in a solid, liquide, or gas

__**#8**__ 1. The products all remain constant is because the products and the reactants are constantly separating and attracting to each other. It does not contradict with the equilibrium as being dynamic because they gain and release energy when they go through a chemical change, and when the anions and cations attract each other, forming the same molecule. 2. To show that a chemical reaction is going through the process of equilibrium, we have a double sided arrow. <--> The formula would be shown as MxNy (s) <--> xM^m+ (aq) + yN^n- (aq) One example would be water, H2O. it goes back and fourth between H20 and H+ with 0^2- Another is NO2 <--> N2O4 CaF2 (s) <--> Ca^2+ (aq) + 2F- (aq)

1. In a concentraited Solution, there is more solute than the amount of solvent and in a Dilute, it is the opposite. There is less solute than the amount of solvent. 2. In a strong acid solution, the majority of the molecules break up into ions in water. For a weak solution, very few, if any, molecules break up. 3. Concentraited of a strong acid: HA + H2O -> H3O+ + A- H3O+, A-, H3O+, A-, H3O+, A-, H+, H+, H+ Concentraition of a weak acid: HA, HA, HA, HA, H3O+, H3O+, H3O+, A-, H+ Dilute solution of a strong acid: H3O+, H3O+, H3O+, H3O+, H3O+, H+, A-, H+, A- Dilute Solution of a weak acid: H3O+, H3O+, H3O+, H3O+, HA, HA, HA

1. A molecule is made out of two or more atoms bonded together by intermolecular forces. A biomolecule is made out of mainly: carbon and hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. 2.Biomolecules help digest microorganisms in the body. 3. Two examples of a Lipid are fat; fat-soluble vitamins, and sterols.
