Terrorism, Fragile States, and Global Trade Concepts
Terrorism, Fragile States, and Global Trade
- Every country has its own definition of terrorism, making a universal definition difficult.
- Al Qaeda is smaller and doesn’t aim to create a country, while ISIS is larger and does.
- Mosul’s proximity to Turkey makes it key in fighting ISIS. Freeing Mosul could mark the end for ISIS.
- Fragile states have weak governance, limited capacity, humanitarian crises, social tensions, and violence.
- Less oversight in fragile states allows corruption and dangerous individuals
Acid-Base Chemistry: Concepts, Calculations, and Equilibrium
CATION | ANION | SOLUTION WILL BE |
ACIDIC | NEUTRAL | ACIDIC |
NEUTRAL | NEUTRAL | NEUTRAL |
NEUTRAL | BASIC | BASIC |
ACIDIC | BASIC | Ka > Kb ACIDIC |
Ka = Kb NEUTRAL | ||
Ka < Kb BASIC |
Ka = ([H+] x [B–]) / [HB]
Measure known amount of the weak acid, HB
Determine [H+]eq by measuring pH if necessary
Use the balanced equation to find [B–]eq
Calculate [HB]eq which is [HB]o – [H+]eq
Solve for Ka
Larger Ka value = the stronger the weak acid
Smaller pKa value = the stronger the weak acid
Weak Acids:
Ionizable hydrogen atom
Anions with an ionizable hydrogen

Hormones and Glands: Hypothalamus, Thyroid, and More
Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland
The hypothalamus controls the body’s hormonal activity and acts as a liaison between the nervous and endocrine systems. Neurons in the hypothalamus receive information from other brain areas and hormones in the blood. They respond by secreting hormones that reach the pituitary gland, regulating its hormone production. The pituitary gland, an endocrine gland, controls the activity of many other endocrine glands and is itself controlled by the hypothalamus.
