Melting Ice Caps The Arctic is global warming’s canary in the coal mine. It is a highly sensitive area which is profoundly affected by the changing climate. The average temperature in the Arctic is rising twice as fast as elsewhere in the world (nrdc.org). Because of this‚ the ice cap is getting thinner‚ melting away‚ and rupturing. Here is an example of this; the largest ice block in the Arctic‚ the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf‚ had been around for 3000 years before it started cracking in 2000 (nrdc

acidity of the catalyst‚ the production of aspirin will increase. Our hypothesis was proven correct. In our data‚ we calculated the percent yield and percent error of each trial. We also calculated the average of the percent yields and the percent errors of each catalyst. In the end‚ we saw that for the sulphuric acid catalyzed aspirin‚ we saw an average of 69.7% percent yield and an average 30.3% percent error. As for the phosphoric acid catalyzed aspirin‚ we saw an average of 55.0% percent yield

Freezing and Melting of Water. 10/24 Richard Landolfi Due Date:11/1 Purpose the purpose of this lab is to determine the freezing and melting temperature of water. Freezing temperature‚ the temperature at which a substance turns from a liquid to a solid‚ and melting temperature‚ the temperature at which a substance turns from a solid to a liquid. Hypothesis If the water is at a low temperature then it will freeze

Experiment 2 Title: preparation of a halogenoalkane Objective: To synthesis 2-cholo-2-methylpropane by using corresponding alcohol and HCl(aq). The reaction is via SN1 of tertiary alcohol. Techniques: i) Distillation of the reactant and the product ii) Purification by separating funnel Theory: In the experiment‚ SN1 reaction take place‚ HCl is added to initiate the reaction. The R-OH attack the H+ with the lone pair on O. Then the R-O+H2 bond breaks the release a water molecule and

remarked in this context that at least in the earlier years of planning‚ the influence of Gandhian thought was fairly pronounced‚ although this should not be taken to mean that Indian planning has much philosophical contact with Gandhian thought. The point is that the Indian plans attempted to adopt some Gandhian techniques‚ of which decentralised planning was

Francisco Tejada Danielle Rhodes English 1102 2/10/14 The Melting Pot When people think of the United States‚ they think of a way of life that can be different or not so different to their way of life. The United States is said to be the melting pot of the world. A melting pot is a place where different ingredients are mixed to create one thing. The world thinks of the United States as a melting pot of cultures‚ religon‚ music‚ and way of life. Even though people in the United States are

Introduction An electrophile is a reagent attracted to electrons and accepts an electron pair in order to bond to a nucleophile. Electrophiles will attack benzene and result in hydrogen substitution. However‚ this is not thermodynamically favoured because a sp3 hybridized carbon is generated‚ which disrupts the cyclic conjugation. In order to regenerate the aromatic ring‚ a proton is lost at the sp3 hybridized carbon. Thus‚ p-Nitroaniline can be prepared by means of electrophilic aromatic substitution
