U.S. Embassy Sounds Alert Over Potential Violence as ‘Free Nnamdi Kanu’ Protest Looms in Abuja

    The United States Embassy in Nigeria has issued a serious warning to its citizens ahead of the scheduled “Free Nnamdi Kanu Now” demonstration in the capital city of Abuja on Monday, October 20.   Sources say the march—organised by activists demanding the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, who has been in custody since June 2021—will push through key central areas including Eagle Square and the Central Business District.   In its advisory, the Embassy emphasised: roadblocks, major traffic jams and potential confrontations between security forces and protesters are very likely—and could escalate into violent clashes.   Accordingly, American citizens are urged to:   * Avoid the protest areas entirely. * Minimise movement across Abuja on the day. * Keep children indoors and hold off commuting staff who would travel into the city from outside. * Stay alert: Avoid crowds, monitor local media, keep your phone...

Application of Stoichiometry in Chemistry Calculations

    Stoichiometry is the quantitative study of the reactants and products involved in a chemical reaction. Stoichiometry is also the calculation of products and reactants in a chemical reaction. It deals with the number of products and reactants involved in a chemical reaction.   Importance of Chemical Stoichiometry It helps chemists to use balanced chemical equations to determine the moles of reactants and products in a chemical reaction. It helps to determine the mass of reactants and products required or present in a chemical reaction. It helps chemists measure the molecular weight of substances. It helps to measure the formulae. Basic Concepts of Stoichiometric Reaction In a stoichiometric reaction, there are some basic things to note to make it easier to understand. We can get the pictures of these things by considering the equation below:      3Fe(S) + 4H2O(I) → Fe3O4(S) + 4H2(g)    The stoichiometric coefficient of this chemical reaction ...
