How do they make the GloFish glow I mean I know its a GM animal but what made it glow?
I got this info from "http://www.glofish.com/faq.asp#TheScienceofGloFish" Where does the fluorescent color come from?
The fluorescent color in our fish is produced by a fluorescent protein gene, which creates the beautiful fluorescence that can be seen when looking at the fish. The fluorescent protein genes occur naturally, and are derived from marine organisms. Exactly how is the fluorescent protein gene added to the fish? Every line of GloFish® fluorescent fish (i.e., GloFish® Starfire Red® Zebra, GloFish® Electric Green® Zebra, and GloFish® Sunburst Orange® Zebra) starts with a single fish. The process begins by adding a fluorescence gene to the fish before it hatches from its egg. Once the gene integrates into the genome (i.e., genetic code) of the embryo, the developing fish will be able to pass the fluorescence gene along to its offspring upon maturity. Because of this, the gene only needs to be added to one embryo; from that point forward, all subsequent fluorescent fish are the result of traditional breeding.

How do you calculate overall heat transfer coefficient for a shell and tube heat exchanger?
When a cold object and a hot object are in direct contact (touching) heat will be transferred through thermal conduction.
Normally, heat transfer processes are categorized as thermal conduction, radiative transfer or convection.
Heat transfer through thermal conduction is the direct transfer of kinetic energy from one molecule to the nearby molecules. Because temperature is directly proportional to kinetic energy, interactions between neighboring particles exchange energy and that exchange energy gradually works it way from the higher temperature regions to the lower temperature regions. The process of the temperature becoming the same is called thermal equilibration.
Convective heat transfer occurs in fluids. If a gas, liquid, or other fluid, changes in fluid density change the buoyancy and will cause fluid to flow (a process called convection) and the heat contained in the warmer fluid is transferred to a new location by the physical movement of the fluid.
Radiative transfer occurs when a hot object radiates electromagnetic energy. While the sun is an obvious source of electromagnetic energy, it is also generated in smaller amounts by any object. The hotter objects radiate more electromagnetic energy and the cooler objects absorb it. This radiative transfer is important but not as noticeable usually as the other two. It does occur between objects whether they are in direct contact or not, but is usually so small as not to be important of the objects are touching.
Why h and he can t be liquified by linde method of liquefication?
HYDROGEN & He cant be liuefied because their atomic Masses are small .
second reason is that intramolecular forces are not present in helium and they cannot form covalentbond London forces are weak then inter molecular forces so less energy is required to overcome these forces and gas cannot be cooled.

What does free flowing mean in chemistry?
Free-flowing means that something can flow without hindrance. A example of this is a river that exists without being blocked or impeded by a dam. A dam would resist the flow of a river, causing water to remain in or accumulate in a given region, which would not be a free-flowing scenario.
Alkaline hydrolysis is the use of alkali chemical to break down complex molecules (specifically, tissues) into their basic building blocks. Tissue digestion by alkaline hydrolysis is commonly used to dispose of laboratory or veterinary carcasses. It often includes the use of temperature or high pressure, or both. If you put three cows into a tissue digester with alkali (NaOH or KOH, for example), after 20 hours or so you are left with a fluid consisting of amino acids, small peptides, sugars, nutrients, soap, and possibly some minor bone residues. Infectious disease is emiminated, and it is very likely that prions are destroyed as well. If KOH is used in digestion, then in it can be spread as a manure-like fertilizer (in some states which have approved this method). This technology has just recently become affordable, and I imagine you'll be seeing them in farms, co-ops, and meat-packing plants soon, as opposed to major-operation laboratories and veterinary hospitals. Very cool for our struggling environment! Hope this helps!

You know 0.02 BTU is needed to raise 1 cu ft of air 1 degree Fahrenheit But how long does it take?
Thanks for the answer. I need to rephrase my question. I have a source of energy, creating heat at the rate of 6000BTU/hour in a room. What to know how long does it take the room temprature changes from 86F to 96F
New Answer:
You have the heat input rate (6000 BTU/hr) and you know the size of the room. I don't know this last fact, so the answer will be "plug in your values". Also I assume heat can be distributed very quickly
Volume of Room: HxWxL
Volume of air in room = Volume of room - Volume of furniture (assume 800 ft3)
Hourly heating rate in ideal conditions =
0.02 BTU/hr x 1 ft3 = 1o F/hr
0.02 BTU/hr x 800 ft3 = (1/800)o F/hr
1 BTU/hr x 800 ft3 = (50/800)o F/hr = 0.062o F/hr
6000 BTU/hr x 800 ft3 = (6000 x 0.062)o F/hr = 372o F/hr
Assume heating rate is proportional to how long the heater is on (actually a bit off because air is cooled by walls and furniture etc.)
For a 800 ft3 room the heater would heat the room 10o F in (10/372) hrs, about (1.5 minutes. For larger or smaller rooms the time would be
(1.5 minutes) x 800/(Actual room volume) = Time to raise temperature by 10o F
--------------- Rate of temperature change is dependent on how rapidly the energy is supplies. Consder to 1 ft3 boxes of air, insulated so that no heat can enter or leave.
In the first box we introduce a small amount of gaseous explosive that will release 0.02 BTU of heat when ignited. In the second a finely divided iron powder that floats in the air and slowly rusts releasing the same amount of energy. The explosion and rusting are allowed to happen. Both boxes now contain air 1o F warmer than the initial condition. One box acheived the change almost instantaneously, the other over the course of hours or days.
In real life situations the heat is transferred through the box by convection and conduction. The rate depends on the temperature of the heater and the amount of agitation of the air.
new study led by Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute senior scientist, Elizabeth Theil, Ph.D., is the first to suggest that a small protein or heptapeptide (seven amino acids wrapped into one unit) could be used to accelerate the removal of iron from ferritin. The results of this study may help scientists develop new medications that dramatically improve the removal of excess iron in patients diagnosed with blood diseases such as B-Thalassemia (Cooley's anemia) or Sickle Cell Disease.
The study appears in this month's issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry and was conducted by Dr. Theil and her co-authors Xiaofeng S. Liu, postdoctoral fellow at Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute, Marvin J. Miller, Ph.D. and Leslie D. Patterson, a predoctoral student, both from the University of Notre Dame. The scientists knew that the ferritin protein cage had pores that could open and close. It was also known that chelators (a method to detoxify blood) removed iron faster when the pores were open.
"We wanted to prove a hypothesis that a small protein or peptide could bind to ferritin and could be used to regulate ferritin pores," said Dr. Theil. "Our hypothesis was correct. We proved that when a binding peptide of seven amino acids, a heptapeptide, is coupled with Desferal the rate of removal of iron from ferritin is eight times faster." Desferal is currently used to detoxify the blood of patients with iron overload and is a common therapeutic remedy.
Ferritin is a protein that concentrates iron in its inner core or 'cage'. It plays a critical role in understanding iron overload, which can lead to a variety of symptoms including chronic fatigue, weakness, joint pain and arthritis. If left untreated, iron overload can lead to serious problems, including diabetes, liver and heart disease.

What is the importance of unit operation and unit process?
A unit operation involves a physical change examples drying, size reduction, distillation, filtration etc.
where as unit process involves a chemical change or sometime it refered as chemical changes along with physical change example production of paracetamol from benzene.
It is a very good question. I am pretty sure it is about 10 grams.
This is possible because one millimeter is the same as one gram. Hence I figured that since one centimeter in ten millimeters I thought that you should times it by ten. So the answer should be ten.

What is the importance of chemical engineering thermodynamics for chemical engineer?
Chemical engineering thermodynamics helps a chemical engineer to assess vapour-liquid equilibria of various materials. It helps chemical engineer to evaluate thermodynamic properties and how much heat is evaluated by a particular reaction in a reactor. A chemical engineer will also benefit to operate cryogenic and ultra-low temperature processes by utilizing his skill-set of che engg thermodynamics. It is also helpful if any propulsion mechanism is encountered in any process. The data collected for various parameters such as temperature,pressure, humidity, fugacity, enthalpy etc will help to assign stability and reaction operating conditions as and when required.
The question assumes that chemicals ARE bad. Chemicals are neither inherently good or bad. They just exist. Your body is made up of chemicals. The air you breath is made up of chemicals. The sun is made up of chemicals. Food is made up of chemicals. Poisons are chemicals. Medicines are chemicals.... All matter is "chemicals". Because the industrial production of chemicals can be accompanied by the production of deleterious byproducts, many people associate the term "chemical" with the bad byproducts. Some products are themselves hazardous, but very useful - like gasoline for example. Companies and countries that responsibly address those risks make life better. Companies and countries that ignore the hazards of chemical manufacturing can make life much worse. It comes down to what you do with what you have.
Why dichloromethane were used as a solvent in liquid-liquid extraction?
chlorine atoms have high electronegativity, which will distort the electron cloud of the molecule.
DCM is highly polar, and it is also an organic molecule.
thus it is a good solvent for other organic molecules, very often used in non-biological organic synthesis.
Melting of ice is an example of?
A phase change.
A phase change is a physical change that occurs when an object changes from one state to another i.e. liquid to gas, gas to liquid, liquid to solid, solid to liquid. A substance need not go through the liquid phase to change from a solid to a gas, as in sublimation of dry ice (solid carbon dioxide).
