Acid Rain is a type of air pollution‚ which is formed when oxides of sulfur and nitrogen combine with atmospheric moisture to yield sulfuric and nitric acids‚ which may then be carried long distances from a source before they are deposited by rain. This pollution may also take the form of snow‚ fog‚ or a dry form of precipitation. Acid rain is currently a subject of great controversy because of widespread environmental damage‚ for which it has been blamed‚ including eroding structures‚ injuring crops

methods to deductively identify compounds (1) . The determination of unknown #6 (2-butanol) was identified by a series of test; first taking the boiling point (94-96 C)‚ performing a solubility test‚ Beilstien test‚ Ignition test‚ and the appropriate functional group tests. An infrared spectrum and an NMR spectrum were then obtained and confirmation of the compound was proved. 2-butanol (sec-butyl alcohol) Introduction: The determination of unknowns is an important skill to organic chemist

Brain Death Determination When the brain has a lack of oxygen‚ even for a few minutes‚ it could lead to loss of brain functions such as a gradual loss level of consciousness or a complete loss of consciousness causing the person to slip into a coma. In the most profound cases‚ irreversible brain damage and death occurs. Oxygen deficiency can by caused by many things‚ such as; a brain injury‚ fall from height‚ traffic accidents‚ heart failure‚ stroke or some neurological disease. That may cause

The acid-fast stain is performed on samples to demonstrate the characteristic of acid fastness in certain bacteria. Acid fastness is a characteristic that is shared by just a few organisms‚ so staining to determine if organisms possess this trait is useful in microbial identification schemes. The Ziehl-Neelsen method has endured as a reliable and effective way to demonstrate the acid-fast bacteria. Materials: 18-20 nutrient hour agar slant culture of Staphyloccus aureus 4 day old nutrient

Report of Density Determinations Density is defined as the mass of substance per unit volume. Both pure substances and solutions are applicable. Today we are going to determine the Density of rock chunks and NaCl solution. In this experiment‚ we will determine the mass and volume of each object and then we will calculate the ratio—the density. In the first part of the experiment‚ we should measure the density of some irregularly shaped chunks of rock. The Weight of rocks is 18.769g

and industrial applications. Citric Acid is one of the organic acids commonly used as a chelating agent. It is considered an excellent chelating agent that binds metals. It is used to remove lime scale from boilers and evaporators. It can be used to soften water‚ which makes it useful in soaps and laundry detergents. By chelating the metals in hard water‚ it lets these cleaners produce foam and work better without need for water softening devices. Citric acid is the active ingredient in some bathroom
