vibration frequency and bond length for H35Cl‚ H37Cl‚ D35Cl‚ and D37Cl and to compare the isotope effects to theoretically predicted values. Introduction Vibration spectroscopy is one of the most important tools for the accurate determination of molecular structure. Vibration spectroscopy also plays an important role in environmental chemistry. For example‚ the albedo of the earth’s atmosphere is controlled by the absorption of infra-red light by green house gasses‚ which include CO2‚ H2O‚ and CH4. For

How to Calculate Preferred Dividends Preferred stock (or preference shares) is a special class of stock that pays a fixed dividend set at the time of issuance. Also‚ preferred dividends must be paid before common stock dividends. To calculate the dividends for preferred stocks‚ you need to multiply the par value of the shares by the dividend percentage. Example 1: If the dividend percentage is 8 percent and the preferred stock was issued at $20 per share‚ then the annual dividend is: 8% * $20 =

AIR DISPERSION MODELING: A Review of Available Point Source Dispersion Models Mathematical Modeling of Energy and Environmental Systems MANE6960H01 Spring 2013 Sarah Mahon INTRODUCTION Air dispersion modeling is the mathematical simulation of how pollutants disperse in the atmosphere. Dispersion modeling can be used for multiple purposes; including to model the path of volcanic ash in the atmosphere after an eruption‚ to model the plume of pollutants emanating from a coal-burning electricity

Lab Report #1 Introduction A cell’s plasma membrane is known to be selectively permeable. This implies that the membrane is selective on what substances can pass in and out of the cell. There are two methods of transport that occur through the plasma membrane. One method of transport is called active process which uses ATP energy to transport substances through the membrane. The other method is called passive process which does not require the use of ATP energy. During passive processes
