How many gallons equals 152 ounces?
Since a quart is equal to 32 fluid ounces, and 4 quarts equal a gallon, then : 32 multiplied by 4 = 128 fl. oz. to a gallon. If you multiply 126 gallons by 128 ounces ( the amount of ounces that are in a gallon ) you arrive at the answer to your question. 16,128 ounces.
A jigger is a bartending tool used to measure liquor, which is typically then poured into a cocktail shaker. It is named for the unit of liquid it typically measures, a 1.5 fluid ounce. Therefore, 4 jiggers would equal 6 ounces.*One should note that jiggers can be purchased in other unmarked sizes and may not actually measure a fluid jigger.
What is life without chemistry?
The History of Chemistry
The earliest record of man's interest in chemistry was approximately 3,000 B.C, in the fertile crescent. At that time, chemistry was more an art than a science. Tablets record the first known chemists as women who manufactured perfumes from various substances. Ancient Egyptians produced certain compounds such as those used in mummification. By 1000 B.C, chemical arts included the smelting of metals and the making of drugs, dyes, iron, and bronze. Iron making was also introduced and refinement of lead and mercury was performed. The physical properties of some metals such as copper, zinc, silver, and gold were understood. Many groups of people contributed to these developments--among them were ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Hebrews, Chinese, and Indians.
Alchemy
It was during this time that the roots of alchemy grew. The Greeks of Egypt are regarded as the forefathers of attempts to change valueless metals into metals of greater value (e.g. iron into gold). In the fourth century B.C, Zosimos the Greek described a substance called Xerion, a metal that supposedly turned other metals into gold. One needed to add a little dab of Xerion to a pile of metal and after two hundred years, the metal would have become gold.
This was the extent of the world's knowledge on chemistry. In Europe, it remained so well into the Middle Ages (400-1500 C.E).
The Coming of Islam
Yet at that time, a new empire was forming. Islam was spreading among the people of Arabia. At 632 C.E when Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, died, nearly all of Arabia had become Muslim. Islam had raised these people from ignorance and darkness into light. The Muslims started to become the most advanced civilization of that time.
Though Greeks are shown as wise people who had spectacular achievements in science, Muslims are portrayed as alchemists and transmitters of Greek "wisdom", and Western scientists are shown as the real founders of chemistry, the truth is actually the opposite. It is true that Muslims translated many books and writings of the ancients. However, Muslims soon realized that in the field of chemistry the ancients, mainly being alchemists, dealt primarily with speculation and mystery. Chemistry was not a science before the Muslims. The Muslims invented the scientific method and used it in their research tremendously. The historian Briffault's book, Making of Humanity, has been quoted in Dr. K Ajram's book, The Miracle of Islam Science: "Investigation, accumulation of positive knowledge, minute methods of science and prolonged observation were alien to Greek temperament. These were introduced to Europe by the Arabs. European science owes its existence to the Arabs." Will Durant notes that Muslims "introduced precise observation, controlled experiment, and careful records."
Work of Muslims
Muslims were not alchemists, but rather they were the world's first true chemists. They produced a variety of compounds useful for the development and advancement of science, culture, industry, and civilization. Muslims invented and/or perfected the processes of distillation, sublimation, crystallization, oxidation, and precipitation. They discovered the process of calcination, which is used to reduce substances to a powdered form.
Muslims also discovered many elements with their specific weights. Al-Jabr (d. 815?) discovered 19 elements along with their specific weights. They also were the first to accurately divide the elements. Muslims distinguished between metals and alloys, noting that alloys were only mixtures and not true elements.
They originated the synthesis of numerous crucial substances that are essential to the development of chemical sciences. The acid-base principal of chemistry was entirely their development. The pH scale was their invention. Evidence is found in the fact that the word alkali originated from the Arabic word al-kili. They invented the concept of solutions regarding the solubility or insolubility of substances.
Industrial Chemistry
As industrial chemists, Muslims used advanced techniques for extracting minerals and metals. They perfected glass making and introduced the technology for coloring it with metal oxides. They invented crystal making. They introduced and perfected steel making. They produced dyes and used them in tiles, woodworking, and clothing. They produced a variety of plasters, glazes, and other building compounds. Muslim Spain had roads paved with cement instead of stones and had the world's first street lights.
Instruments
Muslims invented and/or widely used many chemical instruments that are used until now. They used burners, water baths, bellows, crucibles, distillation apparatuses, scales and weights, beakers, filters, flasks, phials, test tubes, etc.
Production of Paper
Muslims also perfected the production of paper. This accomplishment is often attributed to the Chinese. Though it is true that the Chinese produced paper, this was done through a tedious process requiring silk. It was the Muslims who instituted chemically-aided paper production. The first paper-manufacturing plant in the Muslim World was opened in Baghdad in 794 C.E. Millions upon millions of books were published wherever this invention arrived. In 891 C.E., Baghdad had over a hundred booksellers. Most mosques had libraries. Many cities also had public libraries. Baghdad at the time of the Mongols' invasion had thirty-six libraries. Private libraries were innumerable; it was common for rich people to have huge collections of books. Princes, according to Will Durant, "in the tenth century might own as many books as could be found in all the libraries of Europe combined."
Slowly but steadily, Europeans became accustomed to the luxury of imported paper from the Muslim world. Paper was used in Constantinople by 1100, in Sicily by 1102, in Italy by 1154, in Germany by 1228, and in England by 1309. The production of the many cheap books by Europeans was only possible after the replacement of parchment and silk paper with this new paper. The Western world slowly rose from the coffins of illiteracy in which it had been sinking.
Muslims' Writings and Books
Muslims' writings and books spurred and strongly stimulated the development of European chemistry. Translated versions of Al-Jabr's works were, according to Mathe, Lavoisier's "bible." Ar-Razi's (d. 925) booklet, Secret of Secrets, is said to be the first known example of a chemistry lab manual. Their books were used in many European schools for many centuries. After the Crusades, especially, as returning Western soldiers told fantastic tales of the Muslim World and all the knowledge that was there, Europeans wanted to learn more and their thirst for knowledge grew. Many books were translated into European languages. Slowly, the Western World acquired the knowledge of Muslims, and began its Renaissance.

Can ozone kill fungus in water?
Yes, ozone can effectively kill fungus in water. Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent that can break down fungal cell walls and proteins, leading to the destruction of the fungus. It is commonly used in water treatment processes to eliminate various pathogens, including fungi.
How much is a Half of pint of milk weighs?
A half pint of milk typically weighs around 8 ounces or 227 grams.
List the two type of fermentation and tell where each take place?
The two types of fermentation are alcoholic fermentation, and lactic-acid fermentation. Alcoholic fermentation, occurs in yeast and other single celled organisms. Lactic-acid fermentation occurs in muscle cells. Your muscles use it to create energy when there is not enough oxygen to use for normal respiration.
What is the Cost of gallon whole milk today?
I'm not able to provide real-time pricing information. It's best to check your local grocery store or online retailer for current pricing on a gallon of whole milk. Prices can vary depending on your location and the store you visit.
How do energy drink effect the body?
Here are some of the ingredients you may find in popular energy drinks and what they do in the body: * Ephedrine - A stimulant that works on the central nervous system. It is a common ingredient in weight-loss products and decongestants, but there have been concerns about its effects on the heart. * Taurine- A natural amino acid produced by the body that helps regulate heart beat and muscle contractions. Many health experts aren't sure what effect it has as a drink additive (and the rumor that taurine comes from bull testicles is false). * Ginseng - A root believed by some to have several medicinal properties, including reducing stress and boosting energy levels. * B-vitamins - A group of vitamins that can convert sugar to energy and improve muscle tone. * Guarana seed - A stimulant that comes from a small shrub native to Venezuela and Brazil. * Carnitine - An amino acid that plays a role in fatty acid metabolism. * Creatine - An organic acid that helps supply energy for muscle contractions. * Inositol - A member of the vitamin B complex (not a vitamin itself, because the human body can synthesize it) that helps relay messages within cells in the body. * Ginkgo biloba - Made from the seeds of the ginkgo biloba tree, thought to enhance memory.
What is the name of a drink syrup that was sold in the 70's and you added water to it?
I believe the syrup you are referring to is "Zarex"...it had a zebra on the bottle.
Up and down movement of water?
It sound like the tide is on the flood (coming in). Depending on the lunar cycle, it could be a spring tide or a neap tide. Or water rushing up the sand could simply be the wind creating waves that would crash on and sweep up the sand?
What is the difference between spritesierra mist and 7up?
Sprite is a lemon-lime flavored soda owned by Coca-Cola, while Sierra Mist is also a lemon-lime flavored soda but owned by PepsiCo. 7UP is a lemon-lime soda owned by the Dr Pepper Snapple Group. Each brand has its own unique flavor profile and marketing strategies.
How does fruit punch effect plants?
Fruit punch typically does not have a significant direct effect on plants. However, if spilled onto the soil, the high sugar content might attract pests or promote the growth of certain bacteria or fungi, which could indirectly affect the plant's health. It's always best to avoid spilling sugary drinks near plants to prevent any potential issues.
About 0.0676 milliliters are in 2 fluid ounces.
1 Milliliter = 0.0338 Ounces
2 * 0.0338 = 0.0676
What is the difference between deionised and distilled water?
Deionized water has had all ions removed, while distilled water has been heated and vaporized, then condensed back into liquid form, leaving impurities behind. Deionized water is typically used in laboratory settings to prevent interference from ions, while distilled water is commonly used in household appliances and for drinking.
Which type of liquid is the best conductor of electricity?
water
Water is the best conductor, but not in its most pure form. Pure water or H2O does not conduct electricity well at all. But, many substances dissolve in water. In fact it is known as the "universal solvent". Because of this, water found in nature and in use is rarely pure and will conduct electricity rather well.
So, it is the many dissolved compounds in water, not the water itself that conducts electricity well.
But normally yes, water it the best liquid conductor.
Do you mix proto whey protein powder with water or milk?
you could mix it with either water or milk... it depends how you like it. it tastes good either way, but i usually drink it at night after a workout and i prefer it light, so i drink it mixed with water most of the time.
Is fruit punch in the fruit group?
Yes and No. If it is mostly alcoholic drink then No. But if you let's say mix 1/3 lemonade and 2/3 fruit juice then Yes. See? It depends on what you put in it.
The food groups are about food you eat so drinks such as punch would not be included in the fruit food group.
Are pur water pitcher replacement filters supposed to be wet inside the packaging?
I just had the same thing happen to me and I called the PUR line listed on the box. The representative told me that the water is a result of the pasteurization process that the filter goes through to kill microbes and that I could rinse the filter per the instructions on the box and then use it. That's the answer I got, but if you are still concerned call the 1-800 number on the box and ask :-)
You can drink it, it's sterile, and as long as it's fresh, and you don't have any UTIs bacteria free. It is, for the most part completely safe. That said, it is all the stuff your body didn't want first time through, and probably won't taste very pleasant. I imagine it would be warm, salty and acidic tasting.
"Clear" pee is mostly water, and yes, it's true the more you drink, the more diluted the stuff your body is looking to get rid of will be, but my understanding of the body is that it will never be pure water.
The human body is not very efficient, and some people even claim drinking urine is of some medical benefit, in that it gives your body a second chance to get some of the "good bits" which were unnecessarily filtered first time, though this is at best speculative.
You would mostly be very safe to do so, if you want, though it is a hard one to recommend to anyone. If you were stranded, without water, and on the verge of dehydration, then yes, go right ahead (though if you were on the verge of dehydration, you wouldn't be peeing anyway, so you would have to start storing it early on in this situation). But in the civilized world, with water on tap and better drinks readily available, it's hard to know why you would want to.
If you're gonna do it though, my suggestions would be...
1. Don't drink your first pee of the day, or the one you've been waiting for hours to "relieve yourself" of. It'll be more concentrated, stronger tasting and harder to stomach, and has more chance of containing "nasties".
2. Don't do it if you have any reason at all to believe you may be suffering any infection "down there". Don't run the risk of spreading bacteria around your body. If the smell or colour are particularly strong, or different from normal, you may have an infection, see a doctor. If there is any pain peeing or blood in the urine, you have bigger problems than drinking your pee, SEE A DOCTOR.
3. If you have drunk alcohol, or taken drugs recently, don't drink your pee. Unprocessed alcohol and drugs could, in theory, be present in the urine, and could cause you problems. Also, don't think drinking pee is a "free high" it's not, the compounds in the alcohol or drugs could be significantly changed while in your body and could do you serious damage. Your body is flushing them out for a reason.
4. Don't be tempted to refrigerate it to make it easier to go down. While fresh pee is sterile, it can grow bacteria quickly. If you must drink it, do it while it's fresh. It'll be warm, and probably not pleasant, but that's the price you pay.
5. Drink lots of water before trying it. As you said, the more water you drink the more diluted it'll be, and therefor the easier to drink it'll be. Just because it's clear though, don't expect it to taste just like water, though have no frame of reference for it, i imagine it probably won't. Don't set your sights too high. I repeat, it probably won't be pleasant.
6. Under no circumstances be tempted to drink someone else's pee. It should go without saying, yet i feel i should say it (you're considering drinking pee for a friend, so who knows where it could lead) it has all the above problems (infection, as well as added STI issues, alcohol, drugs, no way of knowing how diluted it will be) with the added problem of not knowing whether they are telling you the truth about these things.
7. Ask yourself... is this really something i want to do. Why are you even considering this? although some people enjoy it, or have particular sexual enjoyment out of this sort of thing if you're doing it just because your friend told you to, is it really worth doing? What really do you stand to gain from it? If you don't have a good answer to that, then don't do it.
In fact, my recommendation to most people is DON'T DO IT. Really, there isn't any good reason to.
