Rate of Decomposition of Calcium Carbonate Theory Calcium carbonate‚ CaCO3‚is one of the most abundant minerals on the Earth. More than 4% of the Earth’s crust is composed of calcium carbonate. It is a major component in limestone‚ marble‚ seashells‚ bedrock‚ etc. Limestone and marble have been among the most widely used building materials for more than 5 000 years‚ from the pyramids in Egypt to the Parthenon in Greece and the Taj Mahal in India. In many places‚ limestone is also the foundation

Nitric Oxide Therapy Imagine a newborn baby that is suffering from hypoxic respiratory failure‚ what would you do to help this? One of the major things that will help with this kind of issue in neonates is the administration of Nitric Oxide (NO). NO therapy has been approved by the FDA and is used in‚ not only neonates‚ but some adults. There are many advantages but there are also some disadvantages that will be discussed in this paper. NO therapies mode of action is classified as a pulmonary

Temperature Rising Global Warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s near-surface air‚ landmasses‚ and oceans its projected prolongation. Many believe that the Earth is currently facing warming in the ozone layer brought on by the rising levels of trapped gases known as the greenhouse effect resulting especially from pollution. Global warming is‚ in Laymen’s terms‚ altering the balance in energy of the earth (Reid 27). “The topic of climatic change has been in question

ecosystems. To understand the rates in which certain species’ leaves decay and release the energy stored within them can demonstrate how quickly the energy becomes available to organisms in higher trophic levels. Between plant species the rate of decomposition varies according to leaf structure‚ chemical or physical defence and whether the species is allochthonous or autochthonous. Native species adapt to the predators that feed upon them and the same applies for the predators‚ adapting to the plants

KINETICS OF THE ACID DECOMPOSITION OF THIOSULFATE Aqueous solutions of thiosulfate‚ S2O32-(aq) are stable if neutral or basic‚ but decompose quickly when the thiosulfate is dissolved in acid according to the equation: Sulfur dioxide is a gas at room temperature‚ but is very soluble in water. Sulfur‚ a water insoluble solid‚ forms a colloidal suspension. As a result‚ the solution first becomes cloudy and then opaque. We can take advantage of the developing opacity of the reaction system to do a

A2 Practical Investigations Title: The effect of Temperature on the growth of Aspergillus oryzae Develop a Hypothesis This particular investigation is to discover how a range of temperatures effects the growth rate of the fungi Aspergillus oryzae. Most fungi’s tend to survive within the temperature range of 5-35oC‚ with the optimum depending on their normal environmental temperature. The fungi Aspergillus oryzae is heterotrophic which means they taken in their food from dead organic matter and cannot

PART B YOU WILL NOW DESIGN AN EXPERIMENT TO STUDY THE EFFECT OF A FACTOR AFFECTING VITAMIN C IN FRUIT JUICES WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON VITAMIN C IN FRUIT JUICES? The purpose of this experiment is to determine if the difference in temperature will damage vitamin C in any type of fruit juices. Five different temperatures of fruit juices will be used(5‚ 22‚ 50‚ 70‚ 90) degree Celsius to see how temperature affects the loss of vitamin C in fruit juices. The amount of vitamin C in the fruit

Synthesis and Decomposition of Zinc Iodide Partners: Sonya Pasia and Kristen Kobayashi CH 085-01 20 September 2011 Zinc Iodide (ZnI2) was an interesting binary compound to experiment with. In this experiment‚ weakly acidified water (25mL distilled water with 18 drops 5M acetic acid solution) was used as an aid to bring molecules of the zinc and iodide atoms together‚ by dissolving iodine molecules‚ so that bonding would transpire to produce a reaction. Deprived of water‚ the Zn and I2
