Essay March 28‚ 2014 ACID RAIN ENVIRONMENAL EFFECTS What is acid rain? It’s a rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic‚ meaning that it possesses elevated levels of hydrogen ions (low pH). It can have harmful effects on plants‚ aquatic animals and infrastructure. Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide‚ which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids. The most obvious environmental effect of acid rain has been the loss

9.1 Sulphuric Acid Sulphuric Acid is Manufactured in Industry 1. Sulphuric acid‚ H2SO4 is manufactured in industry through Contact Process. 2. The raw materials used are sulphur‚ air and water 3. The Contact process consists of three stages. Stage 1: The production of sulphur dioxide This can be obtained by two methods: 1. Burning of sulphur in dry air in the furnace S + O SO2 2. Burning of metal sulphide such as zinc sulphide or iron(III) sulphide in dry air. 2ZnS

Experiment A Spectroscopic determination of Iron with Phenanthroline Unknown # 2 Mass of Mohr’s Salt: 0.2040 1. 5mL of 6M acetic acid was measured and transferred into a 100mL volumetric flask with a pipette and diluted to the mark. Concentration = [0.2040(±0.0001)g/100(±0.08)mL]*[(1mol/392.16g)/(1L/1000mL)] = 0.005202(±0.09382%) = 0.005202(±0.000005)mol/L 2. 10mL of the above stock solution was transferred to a 250 mL volumetric flask and diluted to the mark.

Effect of pH on Enzyme Activity Athenaa Jeyachandran Mr.Menes Course Code January 21st‚ 2013 The Effect on Enzyme Activity Due to Temperatures Purpose: The purpose of this lab experiment is to examine how different temperatures affect enzyme activity using hydrogen peroxide. Hypothesis: My hypothesis for this experiment is that temperatures near body temperature is when enzyme activity will be at its highest. I believe this will occur because in our body‚ enzymes

nitrogens on this station. Both of these methods rely on the repulsive electrostatic interactions between the positively charged axial component and the post-switching cationic nature of the benzidine station (Figure 5.4). Deuterated trifluoroacetic acid (d-TFA) was added in the solution which resulted in the protonation of the benzidine residue and shuttling of macrocycle in to the biphenol station of the Rotaxane. This was supported by NOESY 1H NMR that showed a shift in the peaks in retrospect to

the President’s Council on Bioethics published the ‘Controversies in the Determination of Death’. Within the publication‚ the Council discusses the various criterions that need to be met in order for death to be declared. The criterions include those of a neurological level‚ which have been observed for over three decades. Although there have recently been objections to the neurological criterion in regards to death determination‚ the Council decided to maintain the criterion. In keeping the neurological

be used in order to determine the reaction stoichiometry Magnesium is used to react with hydrochloric acid in order to produce hydrogen gas. One of the purposes of this experiment is to determine X in the equation below The mass of the magnesium used is measured before the use in the experiment via an analytical balance. The known amount of magnesium is then reacted with excess hydrochloric acid which causes the magnesium to be the limiting agent in this particular reaction. The amount of HCl used

I believe in determination‚ determination is something that everyone should have. I’m an athlete and I think that every athlete should have some sort of determination. Determination is having your mind set on something and fulling that to the best of your ability. Every person should set goals in their life and to be able to accomplish those goals you need to be determined. This year I ran cross country. I hate running but I was determined not to give up cross country just because I hate running

Gamido‚ Mitchiko Mariel M. Mizukami Abstract Acetylsalicylic acid‚ or also known as aspirin is known to be a drug that relives people of pain and is commonly used even today. It is synthesized from salicylic acid and ethanoic anhydride‚ both of small quantities. Phosphoric acid was used as a catalyst in the synthesis to speed up the process. Esterification is involved and the final product is aspirin with the presence of acetic acid as the byproduct. In order to create the powder form of aspirin
