Abandoned Acid Mine Drainage at Shoup’s Run Introduction Acid mine drainage (AMD) is an industrial waste which is the result of the extraction process of the mineral coal from the ground. It causes widespread pollution in the streams above and below the coals fields. AMD is caused when water flows through sulfur-bearing materials forming acidic solutions. It is formed when pyrite (FeS2)‚ an iron sulfide‚ is exposed and then reacts with air (O2) and water (H2O) to form sulfuric acid. 2FeS2 (s)

INTRODUCTION: Carboxylic acids are organic acids characterized by the presence of a carboxyl group‚ -COOH. This acid acts as a weak acid‚ which can react with a strong base. Carboxylic acids form hydrogen bonds with many water molecules and are more soluble with one to four carbon atoms. Also‚ it may have an R group that consist of hydrogen or an alkyl group that changes its water solubility. Carboxylic acids with low molecular weight have odor at room temperature and higher molecular weight

The purpose of this experiment was to study the effect acid rain has on seed germination and after performing this experiment is can be concluded that acid rain has a negative effect on seed germination. When seeds are soaked in an acidic solution the process of germination slows. Acidic solutions‚ while do slow growth of a seed‚ they do not kill the seed. A seed can be dormant for a majority of its lifespan‚ seeds watered with acid solutions stayed in a dormant condition. For example‚ trial three

Title of the Experiment: determination of densities Introduction The density of a sample of matter represents the mass contained within a unit volume of space in the sample. For most samples‚ a unit volume means 1.0 ml. The units of density‚ therefore‚ are quoted in terms of grams per milliliter (g/ml) or grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3) for most solid and liquid samples of matter. Density is often used as a point of identification in the determination of an unknown substance. The density

Experiment 9 and 10: Volumetric/Vinegar Analysis Abstract: The goal of the experiment that was conducted was to figure out both the molar concentration of NaOH and the standard mole ratio of the NaOH solution. In order to find the concentration of the NaOH solution‚ volumetric analysis was used. In volumetric analysis‚ a titration mechanism was utilized in order to find the reaction that the base will end up having with KHC8H4O4

We will also be practicing how to prepare the solution. Using the titration data‚ we can practice our stoichiometric skills and also become more familiar with using lab equipment. Titration is the process of measuring the exact volume of a solution of known concentration that is
