Carbon is a part of your daily life Alice Cui E10M Carbon plays an essential role in people’s daily life. The cosmetics we use‚ the food additives we consume in snacks‚ the diamond we wear on our ring‚ the oil we use to fuel our cars‚ and even the DNA in our body are made up of carbon. The reason carbon exist in so many substances is its electron configuration. Carbon has 4 valence electrons and that means it can lose or gain electron to form stable structure easily. In this essay‚ I am going to

Emissions associated with combustion include nitrogen oxides‚ sulfur oxide‚ carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Another emission problem is the emission produced from the natural gas. Gasses such as methane‚ ethane and liquid condensate and volatile organic compounds (VOC). VOC’s have been proven to cause birth defects‚ neurological problems

In Let Them Eat Carbon‚ Sinclair repeatedly stresses that the attempts politicians and governments are making to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are very expensive and generally ineffective. Ordinary families pay a heavy price for the attempts governments make to control emissions‚ as they increase electricity bills‚ raise the price of gasoline‚ and put manufacturing jobs at risk. This issue hits certain people particularly hard: industrial worker‚ as they are already struggling to compete with

moment the baking soda hit the vinegar and lemon juice‚ the balloon started to expand.Adding the lemon juice to the baking soda creates a chemical reaction. The baking soda is a base‚ while the lemon juice is an acid‚ when the two combine they create carbon dioxide (CO2). The gas rises up and escapes through the soft drink bottle‚ it doesn’t however escape the balloon‚ pushing it outwards and blowing it up.

of molar mass of chosen compound Marta Dürrigl 1mmA Chemical reaction: b.) CaCO3 (s) + 2HCl (aq) ----------- CaCl2 (aq) + CO2 (g) + H2O(l) AIM: The aim of this investigation is to experimentally determine the molar mass of carbon dioxide (CO2) by measuring its volume and calculating its mass. CO2 which we will measure will arise as a product of a chemical reaction between Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) and Hydrochloric acid (HCl) as it is shown in the chemical equation above.

Human are the ones putting a huge impact on the carbon cycle. Humans are tearing apart important animal territory. they are tearing down trees and moving plants‚ in order to add house‚ expand and make buisneses. Since they are expanding the area and then bringing in more humans in return we use more of our fossil fuels increasing the carbon dioxide into the air. For example just recently near my house the were adding on to the hospital. That involves clearing out acres and acres of land just

Scientists have leaped over a major hurdle in efforts to begin commercial production of a form of carbon that could rival silicon in its potential for revolutionizing electronics devices ranging from supercomputers to cell phones. Called graphene‚ the material consists of a layer of graphite 50‚000 times thinner than a human hair with unique electronic properties. Graphene’s properties are remarkable.

10 ways to reduce your environmental footprint and improve profitability. Posted by Sam Kopytowski [->0]at 7:08 AM[->1] on July 7‚ 2010 Many companies talk about reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions‚ but too often there’s a large gap between words and action. Most companies seem to be holding off on taking any real steps to reduce their environmental footprint because they believe the investment cost is too high. Leading companies‚ on the other hand‚ are way ahead of the curve. They know
