CHAPTER I AIR POLLUTANTS: SOURCES AND CONTROL OF GASES Introduction: 1. According to the World Bank‚ in 2007 air pollution cost about 3.8% of China’s 2. gross domestic product‚ mainly from diseases and loss of lives. 3. World Health Organization estimates that in India alone about 500‚000 premature deaths are caused each year by indoor air pollution. 4. Serious respiratory disease-related problems have been identified for both indoor and outdoor pollution in major cities of several countries. 5.

Nitrous Oxide (N20) Nitrous Oxide (N20)‚ also known as laughing gas‚ is the only inorganic anesthetic gas in clinical use. Nitrous oxide was first prepared in 1773 by Joseph Priestley‚ an English clergyman and scientist‚ who ranks among the great pioneers of chemistry. Humphry Davy in 1798 performed brilliant investigations of several gases but focused much of his attention on nitrous oxide. Davy commented that nitrous oxide transiently relieved a severe headache‚ obliterated a minor headache

Design Objective: Find the standard molar enthalpy of combustion for magnesium. Manipulated Variables- volume of HCl‚ length of magnesium strip‚ mass of magnesium oxide‚ Controlled Variable- type of calorimeter (Styrofoam cup) Responding Variable- change in temperature Procedure: 1. Cut out 3 pieces of magnesium strips each with lengths of maximum 5 centimeters. 2. Measure and record the lengths of the magnesium. 3. Scrub the magnesium strips with steel wool to clean out impurities

The purpose of this lab was to find the empirical formula for magnesium oxide. To find this formula‚ a strip of Magnesium ribbon was burned in a crucible over a flame from a bunson burner. After the strip caught fire multiple times with the cover on‚ and 10 drops of distilled water were added‚ and the crucible was lightly heated. The crucible was then weighed and the mass recorded. Calculations were performed and the mole ratio of Mg to O was recorded. The results of other lab groups performing

throughout the zeolite. The metal used will be a specifically a water soluble metal cyanide complex where in this case it is iron. The catalyst is being used in various industries and the two main industries that use it will be the removal of nitrogen oxides in industrial exhaust gas and for the catalytic cracking of heavy oil. Finally this catalyst is being characterized using three methods which are the infrared spectra‚ X-ray diffraction as well as the TGA and DTA methods. 2.0 Introduction

In addition‚ photochemical reactions resulting from the action of sunlight on nitrogen dioxide and volatile organic compound from vehicles leads to the formation of ozone‚ a secondary long range pollutant‚ which impacts in rural areas often far from the original emission site. Acid rain is another long range pollutant influenced by vehicle nitrogen oxide emissions

Writing Assignment 2: Bill Bryson’s “Cells” 1. According to Bill Bryson’s book‚ nitric oxide benefits the human cell by helping control the blood flow and level of energy for cells. It also attacks bad pathogens such as cancer. Nitric oxide manages the sense of smell and has been known to help aid penile erections. (Found on page 373) 2.
