  This year it has been hard for me to concentrate on my studies, but if I had to choose a subject among all the subjects of this semester, it would be analytical chemistry, in that subject the subject is about techniques and methods to classify and analyse chemical compounds in small samples.   I enjoy the course because the subject is more experimental and it is not too much theory, so it is not difficult for me to study because it is more practical than other courses, for example organic chemistry, which for me is a difficult course. In the course I have learned chemical equilibrium and its application in analytical chemistry, such as solubility, precipitation of a compound. We have also seen methods to classify a sample, with which we can identify the anions or cations it contains. What I thought before studying it was that because of the name the course was going to be more complicated and boring, also there were people who told me that the course was boring, but in the end,

  Hi everyone, the person I chose is Valery Alekseyevich Lagasov he was a soviet chemist in the field of inorganic chemistry, he was born on September 1, 1936 in Tula in the former Soviet Union and he is remembered because he oversaw the Chernobyl accident investigation committee. After the accident, he was a key member in investigating the causes of the disaster and measures to minimize its effects. His death was a suicide two years after the incident, at which time he was suffering from depression and lung cancer due to the radioactivity he was exposed to. In 1996 he was awarded the title of Hero of the Russian Federation. I personally respect Valery because he and his team of researchers managed to somehow minimize the damage caused to the population and they did it all from scientific knowledge, I hope someday to help the planet in that way.
