methods to deductively identify compounds (1) . The determination of unknown #6 (2-butanol) was identified by a series of test; first taking the boiling point (94-96 C)‚ performing a solubility test‚ Beilstien test‚ Ignition test‚ and the appropriate functional group tests. An infrared spectrum and an NMR spectrum were then obtained and confirmation of the compound was proved. 2-butanol (sec-butyl alcohol) Introduction: The determination of unknowns is an important skill to organic chemist

Australia has gone from a highly centralized wage determination system to a mainly decentralized one. There has been a move away from accords and awards to enterprise bargaining‚ through the 96 Workplace Relations Act. Recent policies include changes to unfair dismissal claims and the 2005 workplace reforms package. Throughout the 20th century‚ Australia has maintained a system of tribunals to make decisions about wage and non wage outcomes and to help resolve industrial disputes. Institutional

the current water shortage on Oahu. For the purpose of this paper‚ our group has chosen to discuss what we believe to be the top three most feasible technological solutions. In order of current usability they are; 1. Water recycling 2. Desalination 3. OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion) Water Recycling Water recycling here on Oahu is an important part of ensuring a sustainable water supply for future generations. Through the natural water cycle‚ the earth has recycled and reused water for millions

Brikowski Spring 2012 file:waterQuality.tex‚v (1.33‚ November 14‚ 2011)‚ printed March 30‚ 2012 Water Pollution 1 Introduction Water pollution is the “degradation of water quality as measured by biological‚ chemical‚ or physical criteria.” Common sources of groundwater pollution are listed in Keller [Table 14.3‚ 2011]. Typical pollutants include: • Oxygen-demanding waste: materials that produce a high BOD [Fig. 11.2‚ Keller‚ 2000]

How Important is Water?As we all know‚ water is essential for mankind ’s survival. However‚ people seem to believe that our water supply is endless since there is more water than land on this Earth. Water regenerates and is redistributed through evaporation‚ making it seem endlessly renewable. So why worry?Actually‚ only one percent of the world ’s water has the capability of being used by us. About ninety-seven percent is salty seawater‚ and two percent is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps.
