During my research on peak oil and energy resources‚ climate change‚ and the capacity of the Earth to support human life‚ I found that there was much information available on the issues (i.e.‚ the relevant science‚ data‚ and facts were already available)‚ but that much of it was not synthesized to make a comprehensive and complete picture (i.e.‚ complete with accurate data and comprehensive analyses).

The standard consistency of oil paint is a smooth‚ buttery paste. In this scene it depicts the Virgin crowned by a hovering Angel while

Synthesis of Aspirin from Oil of Wintergreen Objectives: In this experiment‚ the Oil of Wintergreen is put into an Erlenmeyer flask containing sodium hydroxide to create sodium salicylate. The solution is then refluxed which means that the solution will be boiled in a base‚ then condensed in a condenser. This replaces the carbon on the ester at carbon 1‚ with an oxygen atom which will have an ionic bond with a sodium anion. This yields sodium salicylate which will be acidified in methanol
