and barriers to entry for all practical purposes don’t exist. A normal rate of return in a long run competitive equilibrium results in sufficient earnings to keep owners and investors adequately satisfied (Case‚ Fair & Oster‚ 2009‚ pg. 137). In a monopolistic economic environment you have one firm that controls the entire market place. The barrier to entry is high and profit maximization is usually high. In the potato chip industry in the Northwest‚ moving from a monopolistically competitive

EMISSIONS FROM ADIPIC ACID AND NITRIC ACID PRODUCTION A C K N O WL E D G E M E N T S This paper was written by Heike Mainhardt (ICF Incorporated) and reviewed by Dina Kruger (USEPA). ABSTRACT Nitrous oxide (N2O) is generated as a by-product during the production of adipic acid and nitric acid. The main use for adipic acid is as a component of nylon-6/6; thus production trends are closely correlated with nylon consumption trends. Worldwide‚ there are very few adipic acid plants. The U.S. is

Stereochemistry of Butenedioic Acid Objective: To study the interconversion of two geometric isomers‚ maleic acid (cis isomer) to fumaric acid (trans isomers)‚ the differences in physical properties between this pair of cis-trans isomers and determine the stereochemistry of addition of bromine to butenedioic acid. Chemicals and Apparatus: 2 grams of maleic acid‚ 10 cm3 of concentrated hydrochloric acid‚ 10 cm3 of bromine water[1]‚ one 50 cm3 beaker‚ one 100 cm3 beaker‚ one 250 cm3

Cause and Effect on Acid Rain Introduction Beautifully crafted statues are now worn out or severely damaged‚ aquatic wildlife population are dying off‚ forests have lost the leaves that protect their trees and produce food‚ and the rates of lung diseases in humans are rising around the world. The cause of all of these problems can be linked back to acid rain. Most people don’t understand the concept or science behind acid rain. The common belief is that it’s a natural process‚ but it’s actually

The topic of my STEM fair project is cookie taste and appearance. “ How does cream butter‚ melted butter‚ margarine‚ and shortening affect the taste and appearance of chocolate chip cookies”. The purpose of this experiment is to see which type of butter substance is best for bakers to use to make the best chocolate chip cookie. The information from this project will help people who love to bake‚ to find the best way to make cookies that their eaters will enjoy the most. All bakers around the

What effect does temperature have on the oxygen production of enzymes in an animal’s liver? A temperature which is too high would be able to produce little to no oxygen because of the extreme temperature. Just like a temperature too high‚ a temperature which is too low would also produce little to no oxygen for the same reason. Animals that have livers are considered warm-blooded‚ with very warm temperatures; therefore it would make sense for a warm temperature to produce the most oxygen; but one

Does War Affect Literature? Many writers use the environment‚ political issues‚ or social issues as inspiration to their work. During romanticism nature imagery was a common occurrence in literature. However does on particular issue effect writers so much that a new literature movement is sprung from it? I pose the question what were considerable differences between Victorian literature and Modernism and how did the Great War play apart in those differences? Was it because of the war that there
