Robert Bryce writes about the negative consequences government mandated ethanol has had and will result in. He presents information on many studies that show ethanol production causing increased food costs‚ while also decreasing the amount of corn available for food use. Increased air pollution‚ increased water consumption‚ and increased water pollution are also some of the negative consequences laid out of ethanol production. Ethanol has been sold to the American people by politicians as a reliable‚

promote production of ethanol and (b) place tariff barriers on imports of sugar cane? Who suffers as a result of these policies? ANS: Benefiters in promoting production of ethanol: -Corn producers. They get subsidies from the government and get a free way of marketing from the government. The government promotes consumption of ethanol‚ ethanol is produced out of corn‚ so indirect marketing for corn farmers that will get more demand out of policies that promote ethanol. -Ethanol sellers. -People

This doesn’t even take into consideration that it takes at least 2/3 gallon of fossil fuel‚ by the US Department of Energy’s own figures‚ to produce one gallon of ethanol. (2) (Ethanol producers do not use ethanol to produce ethanol because it is too expensive.) Why do we do this Why do we do this? Because our policy makers have come to believe that the air-born plant food carbon dioxide is a “pollutant” (3) that must be reduced or severe

Banana peelings was effective as commercial polishes. The product did not contain harmful chemicals so it was environmental friendly‚ safer and cheaper.This step was made by the researcher to make a floor wax out of banana peel:first‚ we mix 2 cups paraffin wax then it was melted in a low fire. While still hot‚add 1/2 cup of kerosene. After mixing‚ add the banana stem‚ Stir it and leave it after 3min.then strain and pour in a container. We concluded that this project was cheaper than the commercial

Petroleum is an oily‚ thick flammable liquid‚ a mixture of various solid‚ liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are molecules that comprise of Hydrogen and Carbon. Petroleum is the general term for "unprocessed" crude oil. It is present beneath the Earth’s surface (Lithosphere) and forms when trapped‚ decomposed dead organisms buried in the sedimentary rock‚ and are heated under the immense pressure of new sedimentary layers over time (fossil fuel). The heat and pressure distilled the organic

organic solvents The emulsion test is a method to determine the presence of lipids using wet chemistry. The procedure is for the sample to be suspended in ethanol‚ allowing lipids present to dissolve (lipids are soluble in alcohols). The liquid (alcohol with dissolved fat) is then decanted into water. Since lipids do not dissolve in water‚ when the ethanol is diluted‚ it

of the alcohol was increased so did the colour intensity of the solution. This is because the higher concentration of ethanol‚ results in more damage done to the cell membrane‚ resulting in leakage of red pigment from the cell. If the membrane is damaged more‚ more red pigment will leak out of the membrane and into the ethanol. Hypothesis: The higher the concentration of ethanol the more permeable the cell membrane will become. Introduction: The cell membrane is a thin semi permeable membrane

The investigation was designed to determine the effect of the addition of increasing concentrations of a miscible liquid (ethanol) on the solubility of KNO3 in water. The results of the investigation support the hypothesis that water‚ which exhibits greater polarity‚ is able to dissolve a greater mass of KNO3 at lower temperatures compared to tested concentrations of Ethanol ranging from 12.5% to 30%. Furthermore‚ the results of the graph 1 show correspondence to the dielectric constant of each solvent
