discovery of oil and the Nigerian economy 4 Type chapter title (level 2) 5 Type chapter title (level 3) 6 Abstract: Nigeria has remained a point of reference in Africa and on global level. This is stem from the fact that‚ it is one of the largest exporters of crude oil to developed nations of the world. For more than three decades therefore‚ crude oil has been the major hub of the energy‚ revenue and foreign exchange earner for the Nigerian economy. In spite of vast quantity of crude oil for exportation

A Crude Awakening – The Oil Crash (2006) Directed by: Basil Gelpke‚ Raymond McCormack‚ Reto Caduff The documentary‚ “A Crude Awakening”‚ is about the dwindling oil supply around the world. There are multiple experts in the film discussing the issue and why it’s such a major problem. It showcases success and failure within the oil industry‚ in the past‚ present and future. It also shines a light on how dependent on oil the world is. The main point of the film is to show the level of disarray our

Steam distillation of cloves produced 0.53g of an oil which contained in its IR spectrum the functional groups O-H (at 3520 cm-1)‚ sp2 C-H (3080 – 3000 cm-1)‚ aliphatic C-H (2980 – 2940 cm-1)‚ and both alkene C=C (at 1640 cm-1) and aromatic C=C (at 1514 cm-1). The IR spectrum is attached to this report. These data are consistent with the structure of eugenol‚ shown in Figure 2 below: In addition‚ the IR of the product from the steam distillation of cloves closely corresponds with that of an

In 1980‚ Mount Saint Helens unleashed its destructive power and many‚ people‚ animals‚ and plants were exterminated. Consequently‚ the Lateral Blast‚ was caused by the collapse of the north side of the volcano and when it fell‚ it unleashed a powerful explosion‚ that destroyed and scorched 230 square miles of land. Furthermore‚ the Lateral Blast‚ greatly impacted Mount Saint Helens ecosystem‚ for once it happened it destroyed miles of forests‚ killed off organisms and scorched vegetation in the

Short Term Effects: The short term affects are that they would have no food which would cause the mass of Haiti to starve which would cause either great illness or death. They would have no clean water which could lead to getting diseases EG. Typhus! It is dangerous to drink unsafe water as it could lead to death. All communications

Organic Chemistry I Simple and Fractional Distillation The Simple and Fractional distillation experiment was divided into two parts. We split up the procedure in this experiment. My group did the simple distillation and we received the Fractional distillation from another group in class. In this experiment‚ we examined the effectiveness of fractional and simple distillation to determine which is more successful at extracting a pure sample. This experiment was very successful. We are able to

rise to an amide. In this experiment‚ p-aminophenol‚ the amine‚ is treated with acetic anhydride to form acetaminophen‚ the amide. The crude acetaminophen was expected to be dark in color. This was due to the fact that the impurities were formed from oxidation of the starting phenol. The intensity of this was enough to impart color to the crude acetaminophen. Crude acetaminophen can be purified using the solid-liquid separation technique of ccrystallization where there is a transfer of the solute

Determination of Melting and Boiling Point of different Organic Compounds Bakare‚ Abimbola Kristine‚ C. Professor Miranda Marilyn‚ school of chemical engineering and biotechnology‚ Mapua Institute of Technology‚ CHM145L-B11 ABSTRACT A melting point of a solid is the temperature at which the first crystal just starts to melt until the temperature at which the last crystal just disappears. Thus‚ the melting point (m.p.) is actually a melting range. The melting point of a substance depends

Mixtures of two miscible liquids with two different boiling points were separated. Therefore‚ it can be said that the two organic compounds are separated by exploiting the different boiling temperatures of the liquids
