A carbon tax is a tax imposed on the carbon content of fuels. It is a form of carbon pricing. Carbon taxes are a possible cost-effective means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. From an economic outlook‚ carbon taxes are a type of Pigovian tax.They help to address the problem of emitters of greenhouse gases not face the full social costs of their actions. Carbon taxes can be a degenerating tax‚ in that it may directly or indirectly affect low-income groups disproportionately. The regressive impact

Alondra Garcia Mr. Deegan Pre-Ap Chemistry-1 22 February 2013 Pink and Bubbly Research: Phenolphthalein is an acid/base indicator which expresses the properties of an element. It is colorless when it is an acid and pink when it is a base. Ammonium is familiar base‚ used for cleaning oils and grease from any types of surfaces. Ammonium is a fairly strong base with a pH of 11 and will dissociate completely into an aqueous solution (water). Water is universal and has a neutral base with a

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Carbon Credits are gaining momentum not only around the world but also in India. The Concept of Carbon Credits evolved as a step to mitigate the rising Global Warming on earth. The emission of greenhouse gases by industries and anthropogenic activities has caused irreparable damage to the atmosphere leading to rising global temperature‚ affecting human life and causing Global Warming. The Concept of Carbon Credits was therefore evolved by way of an agreement by different countries

electrochemical method (graphene oxide modified glassy carbon electrode method) are introduced to detect the uric acid in human urine sample. Previously‚ the electrode is modified with noble metal nanoparticles such as Pd‚ Pt and Au. Among the Pd‚ Au and Pt‚ Au has good prospect and choose to determine uric acid due to unique structure and excellent conductivity. Furthermore‚ the method such as capillary electrophoresis and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) are used by the previous researcher

Introduction: All plants need water‚ carbon dioxide and sunlight as these are the main components needed for photosynthesis. The process of photosynthesis occurs in all plants‚ plants absorb sunlight through the leaves using the chlorophyll pigments in the leaf cells. The carbon dioxide diffuses through the stomata‚ under the leaf. The roots of the plants absorb the water from the soil and then the xylem will transport the water and nutrients upward to the leaves. As well as that the

Abstract: The Enzyme Lab results where when the liver was frozen‚ its reaction was fast‚ and when it was hot‚ it was slow‚ and the liver that was at room temperature reacted slowly to medium. Introduction: The Enzyme Lab is to conduct investigations to determine the most favorable conditions for the most efficient enzyme activity. Variables to be used testing include temperature‚ pH values and surface area. Enzymes are proteins that speed up the rate of chemical reactions‚ which would otherwise

Crystallization: Lab Report Theory/Introduction The purpose of this lab is to understand the concept of purification through crystallization. Crystallization is the process of purifying a substance‚ with the most adequate solvent. The process of crystallization came to be based on the principle of solubility. First‚ we must choose a solvent. The solvent is crucial to crystallization because it’s what will allow impurities to dissolve. Therefore‚ when selecting a solvent it is important that it

Real-Time PCR analysis‚ genetics testing and genetic therapy. In this lab basic household chemicals are used to extract DNA by *precipitating it; reflecting on basic chemistry (the early chapters in the text) will assist in understanding why salt‚ soap and alcohol are used. Consider what type of chemical each is‚ including DNA; consider what *charges each hold and their solubility‚ not to just the DNA‚ but to each other. As you perform this lab‚ contemplate what each chemical is doing as they interact. Key
