Making ChalkBy: Alyssia Roche

What you need to know about making

chalk

The good news about

chalk:

Excellent medium for adding soft

color, aging or shading to letters,

borders, backgrounds, and

embellishments

Versatile, inexpensive, and easy to

use

Doesn't dry out and never needs

sharpening (unless in pencil form)

Takes up little space

Comes in dozens of colors

Forgiving (erasable) and flexible

Great investment

Long lasting

Chalk forms from the deep marine accumulation of the plates of organisms called coccolithophores. The plates are composed of the mineral calcite.

Why Do You think people put Chalk on the end of a Pool Stick?

The reason is friction. It may seem a bit unlikely that something so outwardly minor could actually supply a fundamental force of physics such as this, but the surface roughness made by applying the chalk affects the sliding friction and the "motion-resistance" between the pool cue and the contact area on the cue ball. Ultimately, it prevents the player from a miscue, typically a faulty contact where the tip slides off the ball without the proper spread for the stroke.

The reason why people eat chalk is because they have a disorder called Pica. is a medical disorder characterized by an appetite for substances largely non-nutritive (e.g. metal, clay, coal, sand, dirt, soil, feces, chalk, pens and pencils, paper, batteries, spoons, toothbrushes, soap, mucus, ash, gum, etc. or an abnormal appetite for food ingredients flour, raw potato, raw rice, starch, ice cubes, salt.

You are advised to undergo rectal examination to rule out fissure / piles (haemmeroids) 2. With regards to the black tarry stool you have to undergo endoscopy to rule out the cause for upper gi bleed,, once in a while bloody stools are caused in ulcerative colitis for that you need to undergo coronoscopy and barium enema,, in the mean time take medicine :liquid disogel 3 times a day 8 hourly , shun from drinking , tablet Sazo :salazopyrine can also give some relief. you can also contact me directly,, info in profile.

Sodium carbonate

also known as Na2CO3

is a sodium

salt of carbonic acid. It most

commonly occurs as a crystalline

heptahydrate, which readily

effloresces to form a white powder,

the monohydrate. Sodium carbonate

is domestically well known for its

everyday use as a water softener.

Salt

Results for both experiments 1st time I did my experiment I had less salt left over , this can be a good thing it also can be a bad thing, the reason being is because I had way more chalk in my out come.

The 2ed time I did my experiment I had more salt and less chalk, I believe the reason why this happened is because the salt spilled out from it being on the burner for to long and it also being to get Hot and boiling over.

The End Chalk is a soft, white, porous

sedimentary rock, a form of limestone composed of the mineral calcite. Calcite is calcium carbonate or CaCO3. It forms under relatively deep marine conditions from the gradual accumulation of minute calcite plates (coccoliths) shed from micro-organisms called coccolithophores. It is common to find chert or flint nodules embedded in chalk. Chalk can also refer to other compounds including magnesium silicate and calcium sulfate.
