Science & Mathematics - 6 February 2007

I didn't know what category to place this so I put it here.

I'm a mineral collector and
I love Amber..the rock..or better yet the prehistoric treesap! lol
However I can't tell if its fake or if it's Copal. I purchased two large specimen's with scorpion inside it. Looks beautiful but i really would like to know if it's really amber or something else. Is there any way to test it? Any way to tell?
If i put something hot to it it will only tell me from what type of tree it's from.
Can someone tell me? Thanks I'd appreciate it.

When George W Bush got to Purgatory Saddam was there to put him into logic predicament.

Saddam said: "You have there two doors. One leads to Hell, the other to Heaven. In front of one of them (not telling which) is one of your soldiers that, true to heart, always says the truth. In front of the other is one of my men that always lies. You can ask one of them a single question. Now figure yourself into Heaven."

How did W won this one over?

Cl2(g) ↔ 2Cl(g)

Cl(g) + CHCl3 → HCl(g) + CCl3 (slow)

CCl3 + Cl(g) → CCl4(g) (fast)


a) The overall rate law is equal to the rate law of the second step
as it appears above


b) k1[Cl2] = k-1[Cl]2


c) Cl(g) does not appear in the overall reaction


d) If this is a correct mechanism the observed law would be
Rate = k[Cl2]1/2[CHCl3]


thank you in advance!

As an undergraduate I majored in Anthropolgy (mostly biological anthropology and human evolutionary ecology) and also alot of evolutionary psychology classes. I also know calculus and am very strong in statistics. I only took 8 hours each of chemistry and biology though. I was always interested in evolution's implications on humans, but am now thinking that I would rather go to Grad school to study genetics and evolution itself.

Could I be admitted directly to a biology program with this background our am I doomed to studying humans unless I make up these undergrad defeciencies?
