Running head: ACID RAIN AND ITS EFFECTS Acid Rain: The Killer Rain Twanda Banks Grantham University April 5‚ 2011 Abstract Every time you turn on the television or take a ride in a car‚ you could be contributing to a problem called acid rain. Acid Rain is a serious problem with devastating effects. Every day this problem increases. Many believe that this issue is too small to deal with‚ but if the acid rain problem is not met with head on‚ the effects on people‚ plants‚ animals‚ and the

Harvard Business School 9-792-060 Rev. April 28‚ 1993 Acid Rain: The Southern Company (A) Early in 1992‚ managers at the Southern Company were reexamining their strategy for complying with the acid rain provisions of the 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act. The Southern Company was a holding company; its operating units were electric utilities in Georgia‚ Alabama‚ Mississippi‚ and Florida. The largest Southern subsidiaries‚ Georgia Power and Alabama Power‚ provided most of the electricity

Experiment 2: Food Tests Objective * To study the presence of reducing sugars. * To study the presence of protein. Introduction In this experiment‚ glucose‚ maltose‚ lactose and sucrose are used for testing reducing and non-reducing sugars. Glucose is monosaccharide while maltose‚ lactose and sucrose are disaccharides of carbohydrates. Monosaccharaides are the monomers which make up all other carbohydrates and cannot be broken into smaller molecules by hydrolysis. Disaccharides are

of this experiment is to use Volumetric Analysis to determine the concentration of acetic acid in white vinegar. 2.0 Theory The concentration is a measurement of relative amounts of solute and solvent. There are many diverse ways of expressing concentration but the most accepted and widely used is molar concentration and regularly referred to as molarity which is defined in mole‚ the amount of solute dissolved in one litre of solution. [pic] In this experiment there are solutions used

Introduction: Proteins are necklaces of amino acids – long chains molecules. Proteins are the basis of how biology get this done. As enzymes‚ they are the driving force behind all the biochemical reactions which make biology work. As structural elements‚ they are main constituents of our bones‚ muscles‚ hair‚ skin‚ and blood vessels. As antibodies‚ they recognize invading elements and allow the immune system to get rid of the unwanted invaders. For these reasons‚ scientists have sequenced the

Esters are present in a variety of common compounds‚ from fragrances to animal fat (McMurry‚ 2008). Although these esters can undergo many different important reactions‚ this lab is particularly interested in the hydrolysis of esters into carboxylic acids and alcohols. Companies such as Dove‚ Palmolive

Investigating the effects of acid rain in the growth of cress seedlings IntroductionAcid rain is rain or any other form of precipitation‚ which is unusually acidic. It has harmful effects on plants‚ animals and buildings. Acid rain is mostly caused by human emissions of sulphur and nitrogen compounds which react in the atmosphere to produce acids. Acid rain can slow the growth of vulnerable forests and cause leaves and needles to turn brown and fall off. In addition‚ it depletes minerals from the

The acid-fast stain is performed on samples to demonstrate the characteristic of acid fastness in certain bacteria. Acid fastness is a characteristic that is shared by just a few organisms‚ so staining to determine if organisms possess this trait is useful in microbial identification schemes. The Ziehl-Neelsen method has endured as a reliable and effective way to demonstrate the acid-fast bacteria. Materials: 18-20 nutrient hour agar slant culture of Staphyloccus aureus 4 day old nutrient
