Historically gas companies would drill for their gas‚ but in recent history have developed a process of Hydraulic Fracturing which at one job can use one million gallons of fresh water‚ and over nine hundred chemicals‚ to include Benzene and various heavy metals (Gasland). Once this mixture is forced eight thousand feet into the earth’s crust it destroys the shale and releases the natural gas. It is a fact that the companies can only recover forty percent of the fluid that is sent

Brine shrimp and Ethanol research paper Ethanol is an alcohol substance that has effects on growth in organisms. Brine shrimp are used to tell the different levels of acidity in environments. Organisms absorb the substance around it; sometimes it has no effect on them sometimes it does. The best way to figure out if the environment has an acidity level too high for normal growth is to put the organism in a dish and watch carefully and observe any changes that occur in comparison to a normal organism

The boiling point will increase as a result of the different branching of the OH‚ the melting point will be affected by the different positioning of the OH on the benzene ring. PURPOSE To introduce two physical properties‚ the boiling point and the melting point‚ that organic chemists use to identify organic molecules. BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION Organic chemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with carbon

question of whether paper‚ plastic‚ or styrofoam cups were environmentally friendly was researched. Styrofoam cups can insulate very well but they can break into small pieces that can be bad for children and animals. Styrofoam is created from benzene and other chemicals that can be bad for you and contribute to smog and global warming. It is not biodegradable and contributes to landfill pileup because it never deteriorates. Started in the beginning of 2007 in the city of San Francisco‚ restaurants

Surface Tension My problem was to find out how to test or measure surface tension. I think the reason of some of the force in surface tension is cohesion and gravity. Surface Tension is the condition existing at the free surface of a liquid‚ resembling the properties of an elastic skin under tension. The tension is the result of intermolecular forces exerting an unbalanced inward pull on the individual surface molecules; this is reflected in the considerable curvature at those edges where the

in the genus Myristica Fragrans is what nutmeg is obtained from. Trimyristin is the triglyceride of myristic acid also known as saturated fat (3). The phase of trimyristin is solid and is only found soluble in dichloromethane‚ chloroform‚ ether‚ benzene‚ and ethanol (1). Only twenty to twenty-five percent of trimyristin makes up the mass of nutmeg and it is formed from the glycerol and saturated carboxylic acid (2). Like most extractions‚ isolating trimyristin is complex considering a variety of
