    CARBON CREDITS The concept of carbon credits came into existence as a result of increasing awareness of the need for controlling emissions. The mechanism was formalized in the Kyoto Protocol‚ an international agreement between more than 170 countries. The Protocol agreed has fixed quotas on the maximum amount of Greenhouse gases which can be emitted by the developed and developing countries. In turn these countries set quotas on the emissions of installations run by local business and other organizations

    Experiment 2: Aerobic Respiration in Beans We will evaluate respiration in beans by comparing carbon dioxide production between germinated and nongerminated beans. As shown in the balanced equation for cellular respiration‚ one of the byproducts is CO2 (carbon dioxide): C6H12O6 + 6 H2O + 6 O2 → energy + 6 CO2 + 12 H2O We will use a carbon dioxide indicator ( bromothymol blue) to show oxygen is being consumed and carbon dioxide is being released by the beans. Bromothymol blue is an indicator that turns yellow

    Why life chose Carbon? It is the second most abundant element in the human body-18% of the wet weight. Molecules based on carbon-known as organic molecules because of their occurrence in living matter-constitute the majority of molecules found in living organisms from plants to people. 1 of the 4 special features of carbon is that carbon atoms are able to bond with each other to form extended chains-sharing pairs of electrons with neighbouring carbon atoms which allow the formation of stable covalent

    allotropic forms of Carbon (Diamond and Graphite) Graphite and Diamond both are formed from carbon (two allotropic forms of carbon). Though they have similar constituent element‚ they differ a lot in their properties. Diamond is a good thermal conductor but a bad electrical conductor‚ while graphite is a bad thermal conductor but a good electrical conductor. This is one example of their property difference. The difference in their properties arises because of different arrangement of carbon atoms present

    Abstract: The chemical and physical conditions used in the preparation of activated carbon‚ an adsorbent used in water filtration influence the specific surface area and the porosity. In this study‚ coconut shell was used as the raw material and activation reagents such as Hydrochloric acid‚ Zinc Chloride and Phosphoric Acid were used. A single burn and double burn process was carried out for each method. The activated carbon obtained was compared in terms of absorption capacity‚ bulk density‚ BET specific
