Water (H2O); Origin of Life By Mohammad Kamruzzamil Mojumder Contents Profile of water Physical properties of water Chemical aspects Chemical properties Reactions of water Importance in daily life Aspects as an energy resource Profile Water is a liquid at standard ambient temperature and pressure but it often coexists on earth with its solid state‚ Ice and gaseous state ‚steam (water vapor). It is a polar solvent but generally a weak electrical conductor and 65% of Human body weight is

Greenhouse effects and global warming are an uprising environmental issue. The greenhouse effect is the process by which absorption and emission of infrared radiation by gases are released in the atmosphere. The major greenhouse gases are water vapor (36 -70%)‚ carbon dioxide CO2 (9-26%)‚ methane CH4 (4-9%)‚ and ozone O3 (3-7%). Since the industrial revolution‚ human activity has increased the amount of greenhouse gases‚ leading to increased levels of CO2‚ methane and troposphere ozone. Fossil fuels

Extractive Metallurgy Minerals are naturally occurring chemical substances in the earth’s crust obtainable by mining. Out of many minerals in which a metal may be found‚ only a few are viable to be used as sources of that metal. Such minerals are known as ores. Examples: Galena‚ PbS‚ etc. It is usually contaminated with earthly or undesired materials known as gangue. The extraction and isolation of metals from ores involve the following major steps: • Concentration of the ore‚ • Isolation of the

Oxygen in Liquids (DISSOLVED OXYGEN) Dissolved Oxygen – the amount of dissolved oxygen in a body of water as an indication of the degree of the health of water and its ability to support a balanced aquatic ecosystem. Oxygen – is a clear‚ colorless‚ odorless‚ and tasteless gas that dissolves in water. Small but important amounts of it are dissolved in water. OXYGEN: Aquatic Life Depends on it Plants and Animals depend on dissolved oxygen for survival. Lack of dissolved oxygen can cause aquatic

The "fuel cell cars" currently being advertised are being touted as "having no emissions except water." In a limited sense that is‚ in fact‚ true. However‚ if the entire fuel cycle for the car is considered it most certainly is not. The fuel used by the fuel cell is hydrogen‚ very pure hydrogen. Combined with oxygen from the ambient air‚ the fuel cell produces electricity that powers an electric motor and other devices in the vehicle--just like the battery-driven electric vehicles already on the

Structure and bonding Ionic bonds are chemical bonds formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds are formed between an metal and a non-metal. The metal loses an electron or electrons form its highest energy level becoming a positively charged Ion and the non-metal gains an electron or electrons in its highest energy level‚ becoming a negatively charged Ion. Covalent bonds are strong bonds between two non-metal atoms. A covalent bond forms when two

Hydrogen Automobiles The effect of pollution that is emitted from vehicles is a serious concern in today ’s society. The cause of this pollution is the toxic emissions from current vehicles. This toxic emissions or pollution destroys the Earth ’s ozone layer or atmospheric gases Acknowledging these facts‚ many are very concerned with the condition of the Earth ’s atmospheric gases in the future. In just a very short time‚ scientists produced a new vehicle which only emits water out of its exhaust
