DREAMING FOR THE CHEMICAL THAT FUFILLS ALL YOUR NEEDS?
Do you want the perfect chemical that not only reduces pain and swelling but can also be used for a plethora of other things? Well then dimethyl sulfoxide is your molecule!
DMSO is a natural substance that is derived from wood pulp. It mixes well with many other substances. It is a colorless liquid that can be found in gel or liquid form in many different sizes. It has a scent that is reminiscent of many natural substances! It is a reputable substance that has been used for over forty years! It can be used as a paint stripper much less toxic then other paint strippers. It is great for scientists because it is used in PCR to minimize interfering reactions with DNA. It is even useful for equestrians because it is used as a liniment for horses.
Warning= It must be used in limited quantities because it may be toxic when used in large quantities.
1) I find that the overall appearance of this blog is very nice. It is neatly organized, easy to read and integrates text and pictures very well.
ReplyDelete2) I have looked at the picture of the Dimethyl Sulfoxide molecule that has been provided, and found that it is completely accurate.
3) I have read through the blog, and found that the determination of the molecules polarity is accurate.
4) I have read through the blog, and found that the definitions of each of the intermolecular forces are accurate. The determination of which forces act upon this molecule is almost completely accurate, except that Hydrogen Bonding does apply to this molecule.
5)I have read through the advertisement and found that it does have a convincing argument. It lists all the positive uses of Dimethyl Sulfoxide, and has the overall feel of an advertisement.
1. The overall appearance of this blog is very nice and neatly done. It is very organized and easy to follow with clear headings and nice pictures.
ReplyDelete2. When checking the picture Dimethyl Sulfoxide molecule that is given I have found that it is correct.
3. When reading the about the polarity of this molecule I have determined that polarity of the molecule stated is correct.
4. The definitions for intermolecular forces are correct except for Hydrogen Bonding. Other than that they are accurate and right.
5. I found the ad for Dimethyl Sulfoxide to be very persuasive listing the positive uses and how it can accommodate for a variety of things. It was clear, easy to read, and had the feel of an advertisement.
1. The blog has a very nice aesthetic appeal, is easy to follow and orderly. There aren't any problems with navigation and has a consistent formatting which add to the appeal. There is also a lot of good detail.
ReplyDelete2. Dimethyl sulfoxide is an AX3E molecule and the diagram for this form is geometrically correct, just the colors don't quite apply since there are two carbons. The second diagram seems a bit confusing. Hydrogen seems it could bond with sulfur and oxygen with the positive concentration on H.
3. The definition for polarity is accurate. The types of covalent bonds may be off but the differences are correct.
4. As mentioned, hydrogen bonding applies to the molecule. Hydrogen and sulfur could create the dipole-dipole forces too if there's an unshared pair on the sulfur. The definitions though, are informative and correct.
5. I enjoy the advertisement a lot because it gives common, practical uses that make it applicable to a wide audience. The emphasis on it being natural helps it makes it more relevant and safe as long as it's used appropriately. There's also good emotion in the ad and the warning makes it more realistic.
Ad:
ReplyDeleteThe ad is very convincing. I would buy this product. Mara did a nice job listing all of the uses. She did an overall great job.
Hello everyone, Hydrogen is sharing its electrons with Carbon for the most part and cannot fill its shell anymore with electrons from another atom. Therefore, Hydrogen bonding does not actually apply to this.
ReplyDelete1.) The general appearance of the blog is very well done. The font and the light blue background is easy on the eyes and soothing to the reader. Thus making it easier to read.
ReplyDelete2.) The picture Mara has included of Dimethyl Sulfoxide is geometrically accurate.
3.) The blog addresses the molecular polarity correctly.
4.) The intermolecular forces are accurate as she clarified hydrogen bonding in a comment.
5.) The advertisement is very effective. It gives the molecules qualities and what it can be used for. Also uses good vocabulary words to make the ad sound authentic.
