Final Energy Independence and Security Act 2007 Michael Swirtz ECN 201 December 12‚ 2012 Introduction Signed on December 19‚ 2007 by President Bush‚ the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) aims to move the United States toward greater energy independence and security while increasing the production of clean renewable fuels. With prolonged demonstration and a commitment from both government as well as citizens’‚ to protect consumers from the inflation of oil prices when there

the corresponding alkane with the same number of carbon atoms. Compare ethane and ethanol: Ethanol is a longer molecule‚ and the oxygen brings with it an extra 8 electrons. Both of these will increase the size of the van der Waals dispersion forces and so the boiling point. If you were doing a really fair comparison to show the effect of the hydrogen bonding on boiling point it would be better to compare ethanol with propane rather than ethane. The length would then be much the same‚ and the number

lycopersicum) INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Bioethanol is the most widely used among the liquid biofuels. Ethanol is produced by fermentation of sugars from sugarcane or sugar beet‚ and indirectly from more complex carbohydrates such as starch from corn‚ wheat‚ potatoes or cassava. Ethanol thus produced is expensive as it dips into food and feed material. Bioethanol refers to ethanol produced from complex carbohydrates such as lignocellulose which is not used as food or feed. It has been

The purpose of this investigation was to determine which type of alcohol (ethanol‚ butan-1-ol‚ or propan-2-ol) contains the most energy per gram. It was expected that if we burn three alcohols (ethanol‚ propan-2-ol‚ and butan-1-ol) for 2 minutes‚ then butan-1-ol will release the most energy per gram (J/g) because butan-1-ol contains more carbon atoms than other alcohols which means more energy is required to break its chemical bonds and more energy will be released when new chemical bonds are formed

Ethanol consumption was reported to increase body lead burden and essential metals depletion [18‚ 20]. Both lead and alcohol are known neurotoxicants. Alcohol which is also known to cross the blood–brain barrier might also facilitate the entry of lead in the brain [21]. Several researches has shown that consumption of ethanol during gestation and lactation impaired learning and memory [10‚ 23‚ 61]. The hippocampus

2-methyl-2-bromobutane were added to the third test tube. The test tubes were stopper and were shaken to mix the chemicals. The test tubes were observed for cloudiness or precipitation. Observations were recorded. 2mL of 0.1 M AgNO3 in absolute ethanol was added into three test tubes. One drop of 1-bromobutane was added to the first test tube. One drop of 2-bromobutane was added to the second test tube. One drop of 2-bromo-2-methylpropane was added to the third test tube. The test tubes were

in its fermentation process. Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is an organism that is cultured for the cells themselves‚ as well as the end products that they produce during fermentation. Yeasts are commonly known for the ethanol fermentation due to their ability to produce ethanol for industrial purposes (Collins et al.‚ 2004).Yeast is also well known for their role in the manufacturing of beer‚ wine and liquors. Another important aspect of yeasts is that their fermentation process is anaerobic

a colder room will burn more slowly. Overview Candles Candles are used to provide light when there is no electricity available or during power failures. Candles are also used to create a romantic setting at restaurants. Most candles are made of paraffin wax. Candles are also made from other types of materials such as soy wax‚ bee wax‚ plant wax or animal fat. The wax in a candle is used as fuel to keep the candle burning. The wick used in a candle is an absorbent twine and must have strong capillary
