If one just pulls out a minute from the trap of economic integration and gaze around‚ it will immediately come to notice how engineering makes a difference in life. We live in a world where globalization is an important force shaping our future and we are so interested in technological advances that drive the economic engines of the world‚ but as stated by the IUPAP‚ what provides all the basic knowledge and research is simply the field of physics with all its branches of engineering. Would today’s

concentration in the Dead Sea due to high evaporation and damaged aquatic life near the Great Barrier Reef caused by run-off from agricultural land. Eutrophication is caused by an excess amount of nitrate and phosphate in water bodies. It is usually caused by fertiliser run off and dumping of sewage going into waterways (basically human activity). Algal bloom is the direct result of eutrophication where suffocation of aquatic life and nutrient depletion may occur. Professionals may use a colorimetric

DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY COURSE TITLE: General Organic Chemistry COURSE CODE: CHM 121 ‚ UNIT: 2.0 . INTRODUCTORY AND IMPORTANCE OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY Organic chemistry is the study of the compounds of carbon. Carbon compounds are far more numerous than those of other elements because carbon are able to bond together to form a wide range of chains and rings. The subject is named organic chemistry because living organisms are composed of carbon compounds. Organic chemistry could be regarded

Importance of Information in Our Daily Life Information in its most restricted technical sense is a message (utterance or expression) or collection of messages that consists of an ordered sequence of symbols‚ or it is the meaning that can be interpreted from such a message or collection of messages. Information can be recorded or transmitted. It can be recorded as signs‚ or conveyed as signals by waves. Information is any kind of event that affects the state of a dynamic system. The concept has

generation of computers has been smaller‚ lighter‚ speedier and more powerful than the earlier ones. Now note-book sized computers like laptop are fairly common. Computers have been dominating technology since 1970s‚ and have now entered almost all walks of life. Writing a program is essential for running a computer. This job is done by a software engineer. A computer program is a complete list of instructions which the computer accepts in order to solve a problem. There are many different languages that

Combustion of Acetylene (ethyne) Rx: Back Why I don’t do acetlyene explosions in our lab.... Combustion of alkanes A quick review.... • Combustion reactions of alkanes consist only of C and H (hydrocarbon) • require O2(g) as a reactant • produce CO2(g) and H2O(g) and a large amount of energy!! Oxygen can be the limiting reagent which can lead to Incomplete combustion. For complete combustion of a hydrocarbon‚ oxygen must be in excess. If there isn’t sufficient oxygen‚ incomplete combustion occurs

If We Had Known About Green Chemistry In 1951‚ How Would Things Be Different Today? Green Chemistry is the making of chemical products that reduces or eliminates the use and production of hazardous substances in the designing‚ making‚ and use of chemical products. It involves the designing and re-designing of chemical creation and chemical products to prevent pollution which will therefore solve environmental problems. Green Chemistry is environmentally safe and has very little side effects on
