It has an extremely high profile as it is intrinsically linked to worldwide efforts

print“We are being advised to reduce our carbon footprint. Discuss the significance of this for the individual and for industry” When talking about climate change‚ footprint is a metaphor for the total impact that something has and carbon is shorthand for all the different greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming (1). The term carbon footprint is a measure of the impact our activities have on the environment‚ and in particular climate change. It relates to the amount of greenhouse gases

Diamond is a giant covalent network structure‚ having each Carbon atom sharing electrons with four other Carbon atoms‚ therefore having four single covalent bonds formed. These Carbon covalent bonds are extremely strong and account for two of diamond’s most prominent physical properties among all elements‚ hardness and a high melting point. Diamond has a high melting point due to the fact that diamond is a covalent lattice‚ hence‚ melting this covalent lattice involves breaking many strong covalent

Fuels Research Question How does the chain length of an alcohol (1‚ 2‚ 3‚ 4 or 5 carbon atoms) affect its boiling point (°C)‚ determined using micro boiling point apparatus (heating the liquid in a capillary tube placed in paraffin oil)? The alcohols tested will be methanol (1 carbon atom)‚ ethanol (2 carbon atoms)‚ propan-1-ol (3 carbon atoms)‚ butan-1-ol (4 carbon atoms) and pentan-1-ol (5 carbon atoms). Variables Variable Description Independent This is the variable that will change; the chain

Persuasive Essay. Destruction of the world’s forest in an inevitable consequence of worldwide improvement in the standard of living. Discuss. Imagine that life without green tree‚ imagine people are snatching oxygen and started to do anything they can get the oxygen. When people started to sweat‚ to breath hardly‚ to think hard what had they do for their past to the nature. It happen when deforestation occurred! By definition‚ deforestation means the cutting or removal of trees from woodlands

Our Relation to the Carbon Cycle and Earth’s Energy Budget Almost everything human’s use require a form of energy. Unfortunately‚ fossil fuel is the source of energy we use to sustain ourselves. Fossil fuels emit large quantities of greenhouse gas‚ which increases the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. Our relationship to the carbon cycle and Earth’s energy budget has multiple layers. Almost everything we use requires a form of energy. To power technology‚ we burn fossil fuels. The burning of

perform a first hand investigation to demonstrate the effect of dissolved carbon dioxide on the pH of water. DUE DATE: 21/11/07 CONDUCTOR: Wissam Bardouh EFFECT OF DISSOLVED CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) ON PH OF WATER Introduction: ((Carbon Dioxide is a greenhouse gas. It is everywhere ranging from our bodies to the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is produced in living organisms as a result of cellular respiration (glucose + oxygen -->carbon dioxide + water + energy). It occurs in high concentrations in the tissues

Water on Carbon Dioxide Levels Problem: How does varying the type of organism (plant or animal) in the level affect the level of carbon dioxide? Background: This lab is used to test the effect the respiration rates in plants in animals and how it affects the level of carbon dioxide present in the water. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are gases that are vital to all organisms‚ whether it is given or released through that organism. Both plants and animals use oxygen and carbon dioxide for
