In our search for prosperity‚ growth and success‚ we are destroying the system that we as human are completely dependent upon. Population growth‚ water-intensive agriculture and economic development are using water faster than it can be replenished. Our Earth is a place where beauty exists‚ a place where 6.6 billion people and 15 million other species live‚ a place filled with 1.4 cubic kilometers of water. Although 70% of the planet’s surface is blanketed with deep oceans water‚ freshwater only

Chemistry Chapter 4 The Candle Lab | | ------------------------------------------------- Before You Start – ------------------------------------------------- The scientific process is a systematic way of explaining how events are related to each other in the natural world. Careful observations are the first step in this process. An observation is a fact obtained with the senses. ------------------------------------------------- You might think that a burning candle is pretty simple. But

SYNTHESIS AND CHEMISTRY OF K2S2O8 ABSTRACT In this experiment‚ a sample of K2S2O8 was prepared by the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of H2SO4 and K2SO4. The peroxodisulfate anion‚ S2O82-‚ was also observed for its ability to serve as a counterion for precipitation by preparing a copper (II) complex by reacting hydrated copper (II) sulfate with ammonium peroxodisulfate in the presence of pyridine. This same ability‚ coupled with its strong oxidizing ability allowed for stabilization of

incorporated into the inks. Sometimes‚ the color change occurring at a temperature is permanent‚ and at other times the original color can be regained on cooling. Accordingly‚ we have an irreversible or reversible thermochromic system. The required chemistry can be adopted based on the end use. That means one can select an irreversible thermochromic system when a certain temperature crossing is to be monitored and a reversible system when the actual temperature range is to be monitored. The color change

The pursuit of knowledge carried on by scientists for the past several centuries has produced results over which opinion is sharply divided. Science‚ originally intended to conquer and harness the forces of nature for the good of man‚ is looked upon by some as the chief cause of the suffering of humanity today. On’the other hand‚ there are a good many people who consider science to be the harbinger of all progress‚ prosperity and comfort. The contro¬versy has been raging for a long time‚ though science

Blood is a necessary component of the majority of living organisms (all vertebrates and some invertebrates); it carries vital nutrients‚ oxygen and proteins to body tissues and carries away waste products. Blood‚ although most commonly red‚ can also be found in such colours as green‚ blue‚ clear‚ pink and violet. However‚ the common misconception surrounding the idea that human blood is blue before oxygenation is false. All human blood is varying shades of red; these wild alternate colours are

Peter Debye and his Contributions to Chemistry Abstract Dutch physicist Peter Debye studied under Arnold Sommerfeld‚ and developed several approaches using induced dipole moments and x-ray diffraction to study molecular structures. In 1912 he exhibited the Debye equation for dipole moments‚ a method to determine bond angles and the degree of polarity of covalent bonds‚ which allows the spatial configuration of molecules to be deduced with far greater accuracy than had previously

Chemistry of Bath Bombs Date: 16th May 2014 Introduction – When sodium bicarbonate and citric acid mix in water they dissolve‚ the sodium bicarbonate reacts with the citric acid to form sodium citrate and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide then bubbles out as a gas‚ which makes the bath bomb break up‚ in this experiment 3 tests will be conducted in order to find the correct ratio of bicarbonate soda and citric acid to create the
