Conventional Farming V.S. Organic Farming Organic farming had not played a role in the market in the previous years‚ yet today it is common in grocery stores around the country. Organic farming refers to the way farmers grow and process agricultural products‚ such as fruits‚ vegetables‚ grains‚ dairy products and meat. Organic farming is also constantly referred to as healthy‚ smart‚ beneficial‚ and ecofriendly but these are words used in advertisement ploys ran by large organic corporations. For centuries

Argon (Ar) is a noble gas found in Group 0 on the periodic table. It gets its name because of its chemical inertness and comes from the Greek root ‘Argo‚’ which means lazy. This is because Argon doesn’t react well with other elements. The atomic number of Argon is 18 making it a member of the helium group of elements which are also called noble‚ or inert‚ gasses and are non reactive. Its electronic configuration is: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 The outermost shell‚ shell number three‚ has a completely

Combustion of Acetylene (ethyne) Rx: Back Why I don’t do acetlyene explosions in our lab.... Combustion of alkanes A quick review.... • Combustion reactions of alkanes consist only of C and H (hydrocarbon) • require O2(g) as a reactant • produce CO2(g) and H2O(g) and a large amount of energy!! Oxygen can be the limiting reagent which can lead to Incomplete combustion. For complete combustion of a hydrocarbon‚ oxygen must be in excess. If there isn’t sufficient oxygen‚ incomplete combustion occurs
