Carbon tax A carbon tax is a form of carbon pricing. It is all about cutting the pollution and driving investment in cleaner energy sources‚ such as solar‚ gas and wind‚ along with new energy sources like geothermal and wave energy. Carbon taxes offer a potentially cost-effective means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. They help to address the problem of emitters of greenhouse gases not facing the full (social) costs of their actions. Carbon taxes are a regressive tax‚ in that they disproportionally

EFFECTS OF NITROGEN FIXING PEA PLANTS (Pisum sativum) ON GROWTH OF CORN (Zea mays) Introduction Interactions among plant species‚ particularly negative ones‚ have been a concern in agriculture (Levene 1926‚ Russell 1961). Novoa (1981) suggested that it would be advantageous to rotate certain crops by season‚ grow certain crops together‚ or avoid growing certain crops on the same land. Observations indicated that some crops require specific types of nutrients in contrast to other crop

plant a tree. It seems like such a simple and menial task. But the truth is; every tree makes a difference. One of the great functions each tree offers‚ besides its aesthetic addition‚ is the sequestering of CO2‚ carbon dioxide. To elaborate this importance‚ it is fair to paint the big picture. Heat is trapped in the earth’s atmosphere due to high levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other heat trapping gases which ultimately prohibit the heat from being released into space. This is what has caused

The word phosphorus is derives form the ancient Greek words phos‚ meaning light‚ and phorus meaning bringing. In nature‚ phosphorus occurs only in the oxidized form of phosphates‚ which are minerals in which each phosphorus atom is surrounded by four oxygens. In 1669‚ alchemy was medieval chemistry’s popular philosophy. It attempted to turn base metals into gold and searched for a mixture for lifetime. An alchemist from Hamburg‚ Germany‚ Hennig Brandt‚ fell onto phosphorus while heating residues

Unit 4: Carbon Nanostructures Carbon Structures: • Carbon contains six electrons with electronic structure: (1s2)‚ (2s)‚ (2px)‚ (2py)‚ (2pz). Outer s orbital together with three p orbitals form the chemical bonds of carbon with other atoms. • Conventionally‚ solid carbon has two main structures called allotropic forms: diamond and graphite: - Diamond is tetrahedrally bonded through sp3 hybrid bonds that form a 3D network. - Graphite has a layered structure with each layer called graphene formed

[pic] THE IMPACT OF SCIENCE IN HUMAN LIFE The word science comes from the Latin word “scientia” which means “knowledge”. [pic] It is a broad field of human knowledge concentrated with facts which are logically explained by rules‚ regulations and principals. The word science always lives with us. The people who study science are known as “scientists”. They perform chemical reaction and invent different objects which help us to make our life easier

Carbon steel is steel in which the main interstitial alloying constituent is carbon in the range of 0.12–2.0%. The American Iron and Steel Institute(AISI) defines carbon steel as the following: "Steel is considered to be carbon steel when no minimum content is specified or required for chromium‚cobalt‚ molybdenum‚ nickel‚ niobium‚ titanium‚ tungsten‚ vanadium or zirconium‚ or any other element to be added to obtain a desired alloying effect; when the specified minimum for copper does not exceed 0

Gravimetric Determination of Phosphorus in Fertilizer Samples ------------------------------------------------- Results and Discussion More than 50% of fertilizers are composed of nitrogen‚ phosphorus and potassium because these three nutrients are essential but are deficient in soils. To ensure good quality of fertilizers‚ it is significant that the amounts of these nutrients are quantified. In this light‚ gravimetric principles are of much use. The objective of the experiment is to determine
