Analysis of Oxygen Bearing Organic Compounds James Matthew Jocson*‚ Gianvittorio Lanta‚ Chiqui Ann Llamado‚ Jeron Manaig College of Science Department of Biology University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines Abstract Five oxygen-bearing organic compounds were given namely Methanol‚ 2-propanol‚ tert - butanol‚ formalin‚ and acetone. Different tests were done to each sample to differentiate their characteristics. These test were Dichromate test‚ Tollens Test‚ DNPH test‚ Iodoform Test‚ and Lucas

Biochemical oxygen demand ( and COD) It is a measure of the amount of oxygen required by bacteria‚ algae‚ sediments and chemicals over a set period of time. BOD is of importance in aquaculture because microbial degradation of organic matter is a major sink for dissolved oxygen‚ a highly important parameter for

Introduction Chemical oxygen demand (COD) is defined as the amount of a specified oxidant that reacts with the sample under controlled conditions. The quantity of oxidant consumed is expressed in terms of its oxygen equivalence. Because of its unique chemical properties‚ the dichromate ion (Cr2O72–) is the specified oxidant in Methods

12/6/10 AUTHOR’S NOTE: CENTRAL PARK The general topic of this book falls under the category of the “Gilded Age”. This particular period of time took place between 1869 and 1896. The Gilded Age was a time in American history when rapid economic growth generated vast wealth‚ new products as well as new technologies‚ and improved middle-class quality of life. The specific topic of this book is the architecture that was produced during the Gilded Age‚ particularly Central Park‚ which is located

waters‚ such as lakes and streams. Phosphates are essential to aquatic plant growth‚ but too much phosphate can lead to the growth of algae and results in an algae bloom. Too much algae can cause a decrease in the amount in dissolved oxygen in the water. Oxygen in water is affected in many different ways by phosphates Phosphorus is usually present in natural waters as phosphate(Mcwelsh and Raintree‚ 1998). Phosphates are present in fertilizers and laundry detergents and can enter the water from

is intended for yoga practitioners to help and prepare them in theirMeditation process. In our respiration process‚ we breathe in or inhale oxygen into our body‚ going through our body systems in a form of energy to charge our different body parts. Then we exhale carbon dioxide and take away all toxic wastes from our body. Through the practice of Pranayama‚ the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide is attained. Absorbing prana through breath control links our body‚ mind‚ and spirit. But life is

Oxygen Exchange and Transport Oxygen exchange or respiration takes place at a respiratory surface; a boundary between the external environment and the interior of the body. Gas exchange is the process by which oxygen and carbon dioxide (the respiratory gases) move in opposite directions across an organism’s respiratory membranes‚ between the air or water of the external environment and the body fluids of the internal environment. Oxygen is needed by cells to extract energy from organic molecules

OXYGEN-CARBON CYCLE The carbon-oxygen cycles are actually two independent cycles. However‚ both these cycles are interconnected as well as interdependent on each other to some extent. There are four processes involved in the completion of the carbon-oxygen cycle. Oxygen-carbon cycle processes are: * Photosynthesis Plants undergo photosynthesis that helps them produce energy and food for themselves. During photosynthesis‚ plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and absorb water (H2O) with the help
