Mary Sears Taylor ENG 1120 Blair Date Sustainable Agriculture: The Switch from Industrial to Organic P1: Agriculture is the most important user of environmental resources and plays a crucial role in the economy‚ human health‚ and production of food and fiber. Currently the debate over agriculture is how to feed the world’s growing population‚ but in a non-damaging process. Agriculture needs a change resulting in sustainability‚ but the debate begins with how to achieve sustainability in agriculture

CLASSIFICATION TESTS A. Acids There are relatively few suitable tests for carboxylic acids. Classification is based mostly upon solubility tests. If the compound is water soluble‚ test the aqueous solution of your compound with pH paper (also check the pH of the original water). If the compound is water-insoluble and it dissolves in 5% (1.5M) sodium hydroxide and 5% NaHCO3 solutions as performed in your solubility tests‚ it can be classified as a carboxylic acid. Establish an equivalence value

The two primary sources of organic compounds are oil and coal. Other sources of organic compounds are plants‚ animals‚ and microorganisms. Hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen. There are various classifications of hydrocarbons.

impurities have on the melting point of an organic compound? Soluble impurities affect the melting point of a solid in the following manner. a. The presence of an impurity in the molten compound reduces its vapor pressure thus lowering the melting point of the compound. b. Broaden the melting point range. 2. For what tow purpose are melting points routinely used a. To determine the identity of an organic solid. b. To determine the purity of an organic solid. 3. What effects on the measured melting

the benefit of climbing beans. And they are easy to harvest! The Organic Farmer A large section of the Kenyan population is unable to afford high protein food with adequate proteins‚ such as meat and eggs. This is where beans play a very important part; they are a cheap source of proteins. Unfortunately‚ the production of beans in most parts of the country is declining. The problem is the lack of good seeds . A survey by The Organic Farmer at the beginning of March this year indicated that most of

Write a 4-6 page paper on a subject approved by the instructor (either picked from the list below or picked by yourself). Emphasis in the paper should be on the organic chemistry associated with the subject (how it is synthesized‚ uses‚ etc.). No two students can research the same subject.

The benefits of an organic fertilizer compared to a chemically made fertilizer are that the plants were able to grow taller‚ faster‚ healthier‚ and were able to bear more fruits. Our project will test if every day produce‚ such as the yogurt can be mixed with animal feces just like how egg shells and banana peels are used to decompose waste and create a rich‚ organic fertilizer. Our project will benefit not only the environment of Guam‚ but
