Acid Rain and its Chemistry Acid rain is a type of pollution that is becoming a major threat to our planet and is need of attention. Acid rain has significantly increased ever since the industrial revolution‚ and now around the world‚ countries like Russia‚ China‚ and those in Europe are facing increasing levels of acidity in their rain. Not only is it becoming more acidic but it is also spreading by the pumping of sulfuric gasses deeper into the atmosphere from of the use of taller smokestacks

Tuesdays With Morrie Tuesdays With Morrie is a true novel based upon an older dying man ’s outlook on life. Throughout the story‚ the older man teaches his past student about life as his body is slowly withering away from the " Lou Gehrig ’s Disease." CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT: Morrie Schwartz (the older man) teaches his student‚ Mitch Albom‚ what really matters in life. The only way that I can begin to describe Morrie ’s character‚ is to quote an excerpt from pg. 10 regarding his reaction after being

managed. This style‚ unfortunately‚ has the unintended consequences of reducing morale and increasing turnover among those being managed in this manner. More recent developments in the leadership literature emphasize a more transformational style‚ the importance of the leader developing an inspiring vision for the nurses to follow‚ mentoring‚ and playing more of a servant role so that the nursing staff can feel empowered with regard to issues of significance. This major contrasting pattern in management

When a really large unstable isotope changes into to smaller isotopes that are 2 completely different elements. the nucleus has to be larger than 230(mass). They are really slow and spontaneous. Fission = splitting. Can create a chain reaction. (picture above). Critical mass= must be enough mass in a reaction or enough fission type mass‚ fissionable mass‚ for the reaction to continue to go on.(minimum amount). Sub critical mass= mass of fission material that doesn’t have enough to keep the reaction

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this experiment is to measure the formation constant of the tetraamminecopper(II) ion by colorimetry. Anhydrous copper sulfate (CuSO4) is white‚ which means that it does not absorb light in the visible region of the spectrum. The hydrated copper sulfate (CuSO4 - 5H2O) is blue. The structure of the compound can be represented more accurately as Cu(H2O)4 SO4 - H2O where four water molecules are bound to the copper ion and the fifth is a water of crystallization. The

Article Excerpt Access to the world’s oil supplies is a principal factor behind US government policy‚ as the events of the past two years have unmistakably shown. And no wonder: possessing only 2% of the world’s reserves of oil‚ the US consumes 25% of global oil production at a cost of $150bn per year. Of this‚ 70% is in the form of gasoline (petroleum) or diesel fuel for transport use. Given the finite supply of oil‚ this cannot go on. Certainly‚ by 2050‚ competition for oil supplies will be
