Introduction Fossil Fuels are the most important energy sources in our world today. The overwhelming majority of the huge amount of energy used in the world comes from the burning of three major fossil fuels: coal‚ petroleum‚ and natural gas. Fossil fuels are a non-renewable source of energy‚ and there is no other . They are formed over a very long period of time; the fossil fuels on earth today were formed from plants and animals that lived up to 300 million years ago. These fossil fuels are found in deposits

The Equilibrium Constant of an Ester Hydrolysis Reaction CHM 152LL Section 33263 March 28‚ 2014 John Weide Abstract: The purpose if this experiment is to determine the equilibrium constant of an unknown alcohol. In this experiment unknown alcohol number three and unknown ester number three were used. The equilibrium constant was found by titrating a series of reactions containing H2O‚ HCl‚ and the unknown ester with only the last solution containing the unknown alcohol

Greece after the Peloponnesian War: • Nature and impact of the Spartan hegemony; role and significance of Lysander‚ Agesilaus - Sparta won the Peloponnesian War. The war had ruined many states economically and spiritually. A true leader was needed. Thucydides believed Sparta would unite Greece and lead through goodwill. However‚ during the war Sparta had medised and sold the Ionian states to the Persians. Sparta could hardly claim to be the ‘liberator of the Greeks’. - Sparta had however earned

were aggressive but their actions were not completely responsible for the outbreak of war‚ there were other causes for the war which Germany were not responsible for‚ such as the Triple of Entente where Germany felt isolated and insecure. However‚ the Schlieffen Plan of 1905 referred to in sources 1 and 2 is frequently seen as an act of aggression. In source 1 Corrigan says that “Germany had in place a plan for an aggressive war” because they were concerned of having to fight Russia and France at the

Sri Lanka after thirty years of war; the achievements so far and the challengers ahead For nearly three decades‚ Sri Lanka has been scarred by a bitter civil war driven by ethnic tensions. In May 2009‚ the Government of Sri Lanka announced a decisive military victory over the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE or Tamil Tigers). The war claimed thousands of deaths and tensions between ethnic groups remain high. If left to simmer below the surface‚ these tensions could threaten the fragile

importance of ideological differences in the outbreak of the Cold War. The two opposing ideologies of the 20th century were Capitalism and Communism and some consider them to be responsible for the growing tensions of what would later become the Cold War. Capitalism found its home in the West‚ and specifically in the USA and was based on private ownership‚ the means of production and the creation of goods or services for profit. It also incorporated competitive markets‚ wage labour and capital accumulation

Equilibrium In your text (Chang‚ 6th Ed) : Ch. 15 Chemical Equilibrium‚ esp. Section 15.3 Purpose: The Law of Mass Action will be examined via a series of samples using the same reaction‚ but different stating concentrations. The equilibrium constant‚ K‚ for each reaction will be calculated‚ demonstrating that K for a given reaction at a fixed temperature is a constant‚ independent of starting concentrations. Background: For a general reaction aA + bB ↔ cC + dD‚ the Law of Mass Action

FACTS ABOUT PETROL PRICES & THE AUSTRALIAN FUEL MARKET INTERNATIONAL PRICES Crude oil‚ petrol and diesel are different products and are bought and sold in their own markets. Each market is typically regionally-based and there are linkages and transactions between regional markets. Prices in regional markets reflect the supply and demand balance in each market and the physical characteristics and quality of each commodity. Prices in regional markets can be volatile and can move in different directions

In this experiment‚ equilibrium will be examines in the reaction beteween the iron (III) ion and the thiocyanate ion: Fe3+ (aq) + SCN- (aq) ------ FeSCN2+ (aq) The FeSCN2+ complex ion has a blood red color while the iron and the thiocyanate ion are colorless. Therefore‚ the shift in the reaction can followed by noting a change in the intensity of the clood red color‚ which indicates a change in the concentration of the complex ion FeSCN2+. If the reaction shifts to the right‚ the blood red color
