Acid Rain and its Chemistry Acid rain is a type of pollution that is becoming a major threat to our planet and is need of attention. Acid rain has significantly increased ever since the industrial revolution‚ and now around the world‚ countries like Russia‚ China‚ and those in Europe are facing increasing levels of acidity in their rain. Not only is it becoming more acidic but it is also spreading by the pumping of sulfuric gasses deeper into the atmosphere from of the use of taller smokestacks

Fernando Meirelles’ “The Constant Gardener” is a complex thriller/love story‚ based on the novel of John le Carre‚ containing a heavy use of non-linear story weaving‚ flashbacks and flash forwards. The main character‚ Justin Quale‚ is shown as an unassuming‚ almost passive person‚ while his wife‚ Tessa‚ is shown as assertive‚ and almost aggressive. Justin and Tessa are important to the film‚ because the contrast between their characters helps develop the theme of the never-ending work of gardening

CHEMISTRY DETERMINATION OF ENTHALPY CHANGE OF NEUTRALIZATION IA Criteria Assessed: DCP CE MS Introduction When an alkali neutralizes an acid‚ a salt and water are formed. Aqueous hydrogen ions (H+(aq)) from the acid react with the hydroxide ions (OH- (aq)) from alkali‚ forming water. The identity of salt will depend on the nature of the acid and alkali used. H+(aq) + OH- (aq) → H2O(L) The combination of H+ and OH- ions in this way releases energy. In this practical‚ the

The dopamine hypothesis evolved from animal studies conducted in the 1960s showing that neuroleptic drugs blocked dopamine receptors in the brain. An article by van Rossum published in 1966 is often cited as the first expression of the dopamine theory of schizophrenia‚ but in fact‚ the article concerned only the mode of action of neuroleptic drugs. It stated: “The hypothesis is therefore put forward that dopamine receptor blockade is an important factor in themode of action of neuroleptic drugs

dielectric constant and dielectric loss were measured within the frequency range from 10 Hz to 106 Hz and the temperature ranging from 50°C to 300°C. The results showed that the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the sample are frequency dependent and temperature dependent. Dielectric constant and dielectric loss increases with decreasing frequency and increasing temperature due to interfacial polarization. Introduction: Dielectric materials with high dielectric constant‚ good thermal

Solar Nebular Hypothesis The idea behind the Solar Nebular Hypothesis is that the solar system was condensed from an enormous cloud of hydrogen‚ helium‚ and a few other elements and rocks. Around five billion years this cloud of materials began to spin and contract together into a disk shape under their own gravitational forces. The particles started combined together‚ protoplanets‚ to eventually form planets. A great mass of the material eventually began to form together‚ protosun‚ and make

ETHERS Classification of Ethers: Symmetrical ethers – two groups attached to O are identical Ex. CH3CH2OCH2CH3 – diethyl ether Unsymmetrical ethers – two groups attached to O are not identical Ex. CH3CH2OCH3 – ethyl methyl ether Physical Properties of Ethers: Ethers have much lower boiling points compared to alcohols of comparable MWs. BPs of ethers increases with increasing MW. BPs of isomeric ethers increase with increasing alkyl chain length. BPs of ethers are about the

Stephanie Ralston Film Aesthetics and Analysis In the film‚ The Constant Gardener (Meirelles‚ 2005)‚ the use of editing helps to convey a central theme of uncertainty. Another important theme that arises in the film is justice. Uncertainty progresses into a revealing of truth that leads the protagonist to seek justice. The plot follows a young woman‚ Tessa (Rachel Weisz)‚ whose murder provokes her husband‚ Justin (Ralph Fiennes)‚ to explore the corruption of the drug company Tessa was trying
