Proposal Essay Problem: Off Shore Drilling‚ Off Shore Drilling has always had its pros and cons to the world but mainly cons. Off Shore Drilling should be banned throughout the United States and some parts of the world. Off Shore Drilling is not only dangerous to the workers drilling‚ but very detrimental to the environment. April 20‚ 2010 the biggest oil spill in United States history‚ bigger than the Exxon Valdez spill in 1989. Around 60‚000 barrels of oil are believed to be leaking from the spill

THE GRAVIMETRIC DETERMINATION OF SULFATE Learning Goals. 1. To determine the amount of Sulfate in an Unknown sulphate sample. 2. To perform and develop skills in precipitation Gravimetric method of quantitative analysis. DISCUSSION: Gravimetric analysis is one of the oldest analytical techniques and for this reason is referred to as a "classical method." Gravimetric procedures are usually very accurate‚ but more tedious than other methods. The only major equipment needed

Determination of the Rate Constant for a Chemical Reaction Department of Chemistry Abstract This experiment was performed to determine the rate constant k‚ for hydrolysis of tertiary butyl chloride to tertiary butanol. The solvent system for this reaction is 45% isopropyl alcohol and 55% water. The rate of hydrolysis of t-butyl chloride is measured by the decrease in the concentration of this reagent with time. The rate of decomposition of t-butyl chloride must be equal to the rate of formation

Determination of a Rate Law and Temperature Dependence of a Rate Constant By Marvin Coleman March 7‚ 2011 Abstract: From the shown calculations & graphical analysis‚ the experimentally determined rate law is rate = K[I-].969 [H2O2].991 and the experimentally determined activation energy is 59.50 kJ/mole. Introduction: The rate of a reaction varies at different temperatures and reactant concentrations. In this experiment‚ the orders and dependence of the rate constant of the products

Con Side of Off Shore Drilling When I first decided to write on this topic I really didn’t understand any con side of it but‚ as the research went on I found tons of reasons for it not to happen. There are many things that go into off shore drilling including experience which very few people or companies have in the U.S. since it has been banned. It also has to keep in mind all the environmental problems that go along with drilling in the ocean as well. The off shore drilling has been tried and failed

Determination of specific heat Capacity of a solid by electrical method Introduction Thermal conductivity heat is transferred as a consequence of temperature difference between 2 bodies‚ heat energy passes form a hotter to the colder body. Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required in joules to raise 1kg of a substance by 1 degree Celsius‚ different substances absorb heat energy at different rates not all substances require the same amount of heat energy to increase the

obtaining an average density & boiling point for my liquid and comparing them with the known densities & boiling points of liquids in the CRC handbook of Chemistry & Physics. I will perform these experiments using three different measuring tools (graduated cylinder‚ burette & pipette) to evaluate the precision of each one. Results: Density 1‚ 2 & 3 calculated by using graduated cylinder to obtain volume. Density 4‚ 5 & 6 calculated by using volumetric pipette to obtain volume. Density 7‚ 8 & 9 calculated

This part of the experiment yielded an exothermic reaction. The purpose was to calculate the specific heat capacity and molar mass of the zinc metal. The specific heat capacity was found to be 0.197 J/g °C with a percent error of -49.5%. The molar mass was found to be 127 g/mol with a percent error of 94.2%. Possible sources of error inherent to this segment of the experiment were the fact that when the temperature of the solution was being measured

but Alaska has been a major topic to the government that affects me and you. The Alaska tundra has been in question to drill oil or to protect the precious environment there. Should the Alaska tundra be opened for oil drilling? II. Should the Alaska tundra be opened for oil drilling? III. I will analyze this controversy in terms of the following stock issues. A. Ill: Is there a problem with the American energy supply? B. Blame: Is the present (non-ANWR) policy inadequate to deal with the problem
