and hydrogen are known as hydrocarbons→ because of their symmetrical shape‚ they are considered non-polar or hydrophobic • Other elements such as oxygen‚ sulfur‚ phosphorus‚ and nitrogen may attach to the carbon backbone to form reactive “clusters of atoms” called functional groups • These functional groups possess chemical properties that are passed on to the hydrocarbon chain that they are attached to. They are also considered much more reactive than the hydrocarbon chain they are attached to

BP’s business model is to create value across the entire hydrocarbon value chain. This starts with exploration and ends with the supply of energy and other products that are fundamental to everyday life At each stage of the hydrocarbon value chain there are opportunities for us to create value – both through the successful execution of activities that are core to our industry‚ and through the application of our own distinctive strengths and capabilities in performing those activities. Our activities

each year. These toxics cause around 1‚500 cases of cancer every year. Car emissions also contribute to acid rain and global warming (NSC‚ 2006). Vehicles emanate three major pollutants: hydrocarbons‚ nitrogen oxides‚ and carbon monoxide. The Coalition for Clean Air (CCA) web site states that hydrocarbons are defined as compounds containing various combinations of hydrogen and carbon atoms. Nitrogen Oxides pertain to compounds of nitric acid‚ nitrogen dioxide‚ and other oxides of nitrogen. They

was switched to 5 or 6 and allowed to distill at 130-140°C until 0.50mL of the mixture was left in the pear-shaped flask. The hydrocarbon layer of the distillate (mixture of cyclohexene and water) was transferred to another test tube using dropper. The hydrocarbon layer was extracted twice with 2.0mL of cold water. Anhydrous calcium chloride powder was added to the hydrocarbon layer (enough to still see the liquid) and stirred occasionally for 6minutes. The solid was allowed to settle down. The liquid

AIR POLUTION Problem The first thing people see‚ in the morning‚ when they walk outside is the sky or the colored sun. Is this world giving us the privilege of seeing the natural colors of the sun through all the layers of pollution within the air (Dinanike 31)? Not only are beautiful sights such as this hidden behind the pollution this world causes everyday‚ but an increase in diseases‚ infections and death occurs. What causes pollution? What can we do to prevent it‚ and get rid of it? Is it fair

An oil spill is the discharge of a liquid petroleum hydrocarbon into the environment‚ especially marine areas‚ due to human activities‚ and is one form of pollution. An oil spill occurs when a vehicle‚ vessel‚ pipeline or drilling rig releases petroleum products into the environment uncontrollably. The first

Flare systems in refineries and chemical plants are used to burn off flammable gases and hydrocarbons in plant upsets‚ shutdowns and start-ups. Flares allow for the safe‚ effective disposal of gases and liquids‚ by acting as relief devices when a plant must quickly dispose of product within its system to prevent over pressurization and potential explosions. Flares are used extensively in the hydro-carbon and petrochemical industries as a way to achieve safe and reliable vapor release. Governmental

Some included Carbon Tetrachloride‚ Chloroform ‚ DDT‚ and Aldrin. Similar to the gases ‚ we conducted research on each one. After fully analyzing each one as a class we agreed that Carbon Tetra Chloride was found in the drug. This chlorinated hydrocarbon is produced in large quantities to make refrigerants and propellants for aerosol cans. This is something you would never find in a medical lab.
