Biology MaatThat can be a dangerous chemical substance when misused, for it can cause damage to the lungs and cause instant death. It's important to note that there are two types of MCat, chlorine based and hydrochloric acid.Chlorine based MCat is a complex chemical formula that is available only through an extremely specialised facility, therefore there is a limited number of these facilities. Chlorine based MCat is made up of two elements, a chlorine group and a hydrogen group. They are each required for a certain type of reaction, but both of them are required for the reaction to take place.Chlorine in itself does not pose any problems, however when mixed with water it reacts with oxygen in the air. This makes it extremely flammable and dangerous. When mixed with chlorine gas, it forms chloramine, which is a highly toxic gas.Hydrochloric acid, on the other hand, is an extremely fast acting chemical. There is no water involved, however it has a high degree of toxicity, which means it is extremely flammable. It is also extremely corrosive and produces very poisonous substances.Although it has been used for a long time, there are regulations and safeguards in place, including a regulation known as Biological Safety. For this reason it is extremely important to research as much as possible before choosing to use MCat in your own personal circumstances.Another important factor to consider is whether you're working in a large environment where people are continuously exposed to MCat, or in a small environment where they have minimal exposure. Research can take some time, but it is worth the effort, especially as MCat is highly toxic.In conclusion, chlorine based MCat is highly toxic and is only used in labs and it is vital that you know all the relevant details. Follow the precautionary steps and follow the regulations in place.

The Results are In Success at the Stretch Academy

The Results are In Success at the Stretch Academy We here at the Tutorfair Foundation and Stretch Academy have just received some outstanding news that had to be shared. A huge part of why the Tutorfair Foundation and Stretch Academy help bring high quality tuition to inner city schools is because it helps close the education gap between low and high income families. Wilbury Primary School is just one such example of this gap. Over the past 20 years only one student from Wilbury primary has progressed on to a selective school. As of today, four (four!) students from Stretch Academy's 2014  cohort were accepted to selective schools, with one winning a full scholarship to the local independent. The work done by Wilbury staff and Tutorfair volunteers really does make a huge difference. We can't thank you all enough for your incredible support. The Tutorfair Foundation promises that for every child who pays, we give free tutoring to a child who can't. To learn more, check out  our Foundation Programs  or  get involved  today!

Your Go-to Guide for Food Shelf Life

Your Go-to Guide for Food Shelf Life Image via Pexels Use your good judgment When it comes to food, I know things can get funky. You do not want to mess around with meats and fish due to the chance of food poisoning. Likewise, you always want to keep a close eye on dairy and baked goods due to the risk of mold and all sorts of grossness. My first piece of advice is to use your best judgment when treating a food and determining whether a food is safe to devour or if you should just toss it in the trash. If you have had raw chicken sitting on the counter for a few hours, toss that.  StillTasty.com notes that raw chicken, like other meats, if left for more than two hours at room temperature, is vulnerable to growing bacteria at 40 ºF-140 ºF. Likewise, if you have bread that has been sitting in your pantry for months and has mold spores on it, figure that it’s safe to throw it away. Your sense of sight and smell are great tools in determining whether to keep or toss a food item. Read labels On just about every packaged food there is a “sell by” date or expiration date. For items like meats, fish, dairy, and baked goods, make note of those dates in order to evaluate how long to hold onto your food. Now do not get me wrong, do not go reading every label and panicking that you’re going to get sick from eating an expired pack of peanut butter crackers. This tip, along with the one above it, go hand in hand. Read your labels and use your good judgment; if you are really unsure, Google is an excellent tool to use (after mom of course!). Plastic wrap and Ziploc bags When it comes to preserving food, Ziploc bags and plastic wrap are your best friends! Both help to not only keep your food fresh and safe from unnecessary air/bacteria but also to be more organized in your food storage!

My chart will walk you through what you want to know, step by step.         Fruits Apples (fresh) *(whole) 5-7 days unrefrigerated Bananas *2-7 days unrefrigerated (until ripe) Oranges (fresh) *(whole) 5-7 days unrefrigerated Pears (fresh) *(whole) 1-4 days unrefrigerated Vegetables Broccoli (raw) *3-5 days refrigerated Baby Carrots *2-3 weeks refrigerated Celery Sticks *1-2 weeks refrigerated Bell Peppers *(sliced) 2-3 days refrigerated Dairy + Eggs Pasteurized Milk *5-7 days past “sell by” date refrigerated Eggs *4-5 weeks refrigerated Cheese *(Individually wrapped slices) -1 month refrigerated Yogurt *1-2 weeks past “sell by date” Meat + Poultry Raw Chicken (including breasts, thighs, etc.) *1-2 days refrigerated Raw Ground Beef *1-2 days refrigerated Deli Meats *(sliced at grocery counter) including ham, turkey, chicken, etc. 3-5 days refrigerated Raw Ground Turkey *1-2 days refrigerated Snacks + Baked Goods White Bread *5-7 days unrefrigerated English Muffins *2 weeks unrefrigerated Bagels *(freshly baked) 1-3 days unrefrigerated Muffins *1-2 days unrefrigerated *1 week refrigerated Leftovers Pizza *3-4 days refrigerated Chinese Food *3-4 days refrigerated Mexican Food *3-4 days refrigerated Italian Food *3-4 days refrigerated  **All information listed in this chart was obtained from StillTasty.com** Part of what is hard about being a college student perhaps is the added responsibility of maintaining your own goods. Relying on yourself and being dependent is not always easy; sometimes life stresses us out and we forget about the soggy, gross bowl of fruit on our table for weeks on end. However, if you follow my advice, you’ll have no problem adulting. As always, good luck!

Why Students Should Use a Tutor For Linear Algebra and Matlab

Why Students Should Use a Tutor For Linear Algebra and MatlabA tutor for linear algebra and matlab will be helpful to those who are studying mathematics in the first place. It will help students sharpen their skills and work together with math tutors who can also help them find the math classes they want. A tutor will help to get students through the courses that are difficult, and students will benefit from the guidance.There are lots of reasons why students should use a tutor for linear algebra and matlab. The first reason is that it can help students with their homework assignments, which is something that helps them stay on track with their studies. If they are on the right track, then they will find it easier to continue on to the next level of their studies.The second reason is that they can use it to meet a friend who is doing calculus, which can help them feel like they have a friend that is also studying for calculus. Math tutors will also help them keep track of their progr ess, since they need to do so to give them feedback. However, it can be important for students to use a tutor for math before their parents know they are doing well, because some parents might try to discipline them by giving them a harsher learning schedule.Students who are working in groups also need a tutor. Group study is a time-consuming exercise but using a tutor will make it easier for students to concentrate on math, without having to worry about their group leader's reaction. If they do not know when the group leader is going to call them to come to the front of the room for class, they might worry about doing well.Students who have trouble with a piece of math will need a tutor for matlab, because the tutor can give them help in doing a certain problem. They might be having problems with a test, and if they get assistance from the tutor, then they can continue with the testing even ifthey have a hard time with it. Another good thing about tutoring is that it is done over t he internet, which makes it easy for people to communicate with one another over the internet.The process of having a tutor for matlab and linear algebra may take a while. However, once they are there, they will know how to work with the tutor. In fact, one of the benefits of having a tutor is that it can take the student out of the group learning environment, which is good because it is good for the students' self-esteem. For instance, if the students want to do something different, but they are all in the same circle, then that can cause anxiety, which can actually make the students feel worse than they already were.Students should consider having a tutor for matlab and linear algebra if they want to improve their skills and increase their GPA. Then, they will not only feel better about themselves, but they will also be more likely to perform well at school.

Conversion Examples in Chemistry

Conversion Examples in ChemistryChemistry is a field that requires a wide variety of options in the terminology used by students and teachers alike. The following are just a few of the more commonly used terms to help you to better understand this fascinating science and some of the unique uses it has for businesses. Let's start with the most widely used terms used in the classroom:First of all, we'll talk about the commonly used term 'Converter Gas' which means gas that has been used in the process of converting other gases into another gas. Some commonly used examples of this kind of gas are, butane and propane. The process of conversion may include, but not limited to: a chemical reaction, an energy source, a heat source, or a catalytic converter. Examples of gases and products that can be converted are natural gas, helium, and neon. Also, check out the Discovery Channel for more conversion examples!A more specific term for this process is 'Jetting', which is the process of creati ng gas, usually from gasoline, by passing a stream of a chemical through a piston. Jetting is a process that involves taking the volatile components of the gasoline and then combusting them to produce water, carbon dioxide, and other gases. The reaction that takes place is relatively slow, however it can be accomplished without much in the way of fumes.Another common term is 'Turbine' and it refers to a motorized system that uses electricity to turn a turbine into motion. Generally, turbines turn in such a way that they are made to spin in such a way that the flow of the turbines' rotors can be directed toward an electrical generator, or a fuel source. Turbines can also be powered by combustion of methane, ethane, or ethylene. Often, a much smaller turbine is used, compared to the larger ones. The big ones are used in wind farms, and are often referred to as 'wind turbines'.The process of gasification is often referred to as a conversion example, and is a process that is used in man y different conversion examples. This process uses sulfur, which in turn is burnt to produce hydrogen, then, this hydrogen is passed through a process known as an anaerobic digestion process, where it absorbs the sulphur molecules. The converted sulphur is then filtered and re-incorporated into the hydrogen making process.Combustion is a process that is used in many conversion examples. It is a process that involves the conversion of energy by burning, which in turn, is known as a combustion example. Usually, this occurs in a process known as a Pyrolysis or anhydrous Pyrolysis.Additionally, conversion examples occur in a number of chemical reactions where a combination of hydrogen and oxygen is created by a reaction between two elements such as copper and sulphur. The end product is a copper catalyst. You can learn more about the world of conversion examples by looking into several chemistry textbooks.
