AP Environmental Science 9 October 2012 My Carbon Story Hey there guys! My name is carbon. I am made up of one C‚ a carbon molecule‚ and two O‚ oxygen molecules. I have been hanging out at the deep-water bar and grill for over three hundred and eighty years. And while I was in the town of rock bottom there was a fun amusement park ride called “lift em’ up” that comes into town once every couple of million years. The best part is that the ride last for millions of years as well! Once I rose to

DEFORESTATION INTRODUCTION: Deforestation‚ clearance or clearing is the removal of a forest or stand of trees where the land is thereafter converted to a non-forest use. Examples of deforestation include conversion of forestland to farms‚ ranches‚ or urban use. The term deforestation is often misused to describe any activity where all trees in an area are removed. However in temperate climates‚ the removal of all trees in an area in conformance with sustainable forestry practices—is correctly

emissions. It has been claimed that an Australian carbon tax will have no significant impact on the level of greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere. This claim has been made on two bases. Firstly that it is unlikely to succeed in significantly reducing Australian greenhouse gas emissions and secondly‚ that even if these emissions were to stop completely this would have no useful effect on world greenhouse gas emission rates. Critics of a carbon tax for Australia argue that it will damage our economy

EXPERIMENT 3 DETERMINATION OF ORGANIC MATTER BY WALKEY- BLACK WET OXIDATION METHOD OBJECTIVE: This method determines the percentage of organic carbon and organic matter in the soil. INTRODUCTION The soil sample is suspended in standard potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) solution to which concentrated sulphuric acid is then added. The heat generated on adding the sulphuric acid and the presence of chromic acid creates strong oxidizing conditions. The excess chromic

Each tablet contains aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid)‚ citric acid‚ and sodium bicarbonate. As the tablet dissolves in water‚ the bicarbonate ions in the tablet react with the hydrogen ions from the acids that are also contained in the tablet. The carbon dioxide gas produced by the reaction is what causes the bubbling that can be observed. HCO3- (aq) + H+ (aq) → H2O (l) + CO2 (g) In this investigation‚ you will design two experiments which will compare two different factors that may affect the

polluting the environment because greenery add oxygen to environment filters the air. Atmospheric pollution as a result of emission of carbon monoxide‚ Sulphur oxides and hydrocarbons has become a subject of growing concern and has led to increasing pressure for restrictions of burning of fossil fuels. It is estimated that currently more than 20 billion tons of carbon dioxide are being released in the atmosphere in this way every year. The discharge of these air pollutants is infecting and destroying

Is deforestation the cause of climate change? A. The forest can provide many different products. 1. Consumers use these products everyday ● Cost of products increasing 2. Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere ● Most trees hold in the carbon dioxide 3. Changes in the ecosystem ● loss of trees mean higher risk of disasters. II. Rain forest are slowly vanishing B. “Slash and Burn” process. 1. Many farmers are following
