Before I go on about the use of fertilizers in organic farming‚ you must first understand what organic farming is. The simplest way to describe organic agriculture is agricultural production without the use of synthetic chemicals (fertilizers‚ pesticides‚ antibiotics‚ etc). For crop production‚ organic materials such as compost and manure are used to maintain soil organic matter and as sources of nutrients. Nitrogen-fixing as well as pest resistant plant varieties are utilized. The incorporation

Anhydrous sodium sulfate was added to the filtered organic solution to absorb excess water. Although water has a higher affinity towards sodium sulfate than cyclohexanol‚ excess anhydrous sodium sulfate may lead to the absorption of cyclohexane and thus loss of product. Anhydrous sodium sulfate absorbs water due to its polarity and therefore may also absorb cyclohexanol because of its polar O-H bond. If too much anhydrous sodium sulfate was added to the solution‚ part of the product would be absorbed

Design an experiment to investigate the stoichiometric mole ratio of a chemical reaction. Present your data in terms of the mass of one reactant compared to the mass of one product. Purpose: The experiment will be designed to find out the stoichiometric mole ratio of Barium Chloride and Silver Nitrate yielding a precipitate of Silver Chloride in a Barium Nitrate solution. (BaCl2 + 2AgNO3 -> Ba(NO3)2 + 2AgCl) Research Question: How will the amount of Barium Chloride and Silver Nitrate

Similar to potassium‚ sodium is a major mineral‚ however‚ unlike potassium which maintains fluid and electrolyte balance inside the cell‚ sodium is a major part of the body’s fluid and electrolyte balance system because it is the chief ion used to maintain the volume of fluid outside cells. Sodium also helps maintain acid-base balance and is essential to muscle contraction and nerve transmission. The DRI recommended intakes for sodium for adults ages 19 to 50 years old is 1‚500 milligrams per day

The Chemistry of Lipids Experiment #8 Objective To observe the solubility of lipids in polar and nonpolar solvents and to compare saturated and unsaturated fats in their chemical reaction with bromine. The percent fat in a food will be determined by extraction of the fat and weighing it. Introduction Lipids‚ by definition‚ are natural substances that do not mix with water but dissolve in organic solvents. There are several classes of lipids‚ including: fatty acids‚ waxes‚ triacylglycerols
