Science‚ Medicine & Technology – Lecture 2 14th September‚ 2012 Global Warming – Paul Waithe * Differences between climate change & global warming: Global warming is the overall increase in the earth’s temperature. Climate change may be in either direction. For instance; more hurricanes‚ more wind etc. Comprehensive way at looking at weather patterns. * Climate change over the past century is directly linked to global warming. * Global warming could result in the world

readily give up hydrogen ions‚ or protons: H+. Protons can be released from hydrated ions‚ for example H3O+‚ but more commonly they are released from ionisable hydroxyl groups (R-OH) where the O-H bond is broken to produce R-O- and H+. When the reactant receives protons from an acid it undergoes a conformational change‚ (change in shape and configuration)‚ and becomes a reactive intermediate. The intermediate can then either become an isomer by returning a proton to the catalyst‚ or it may undergo

light energy and pumps a proton across the cytoplasmic membrane. Therefore‚ transfer of these cells from growth under high-aeration to oxygen-limiting growth conditions triggers bacteriorhodopsin synthesis and its insertion into their cytoplasmic membranes (Schulten 1978). Through the activity of bacteriorhodopsin‚ as protons accumulate on the outer surface of the membrane‚ a proton motive force is generated that is coupled to ATP synthesis through the activity of a proton-translocating ATPase‚ which

attract electrons. Since electronegativity depends highly on an atom’s atomic radius in relation to the number of protons present in its nucleus‚ Chlorine was seen to have the highest reactivity because it had the smallest atomic radius in comparison to how many protons it contains in the nucleus of one atom. Since the radius was smaller‚ it was able to attract electrons from the positive protons in its nucleus with a higher force‚ and therefore have a higher reactivity

Yafaa Chaudhary PHYSICS 5 NOTES Physics 5 3.5.1 Radioactivity Evidence for the nucleus Qualitative study for the Rutherford scattering. Rutherford directed a narrow beam of α-particles‚ all of the same kinetic energy‚ in an evacuated container at a thin gold film‚ in order to identify the structure of an atom: The α-particles need to be of the same kinetic energy otherwise slow α-particles would be deflected more than faster α-particles on the same initial path. The container needs to be evacuated

Discussion: In this experiment a ketone‚ 9-fluorenone is reduced to and alcohol. The are two possible ways by which this reduction can occur. One is by a catalytic hydrogenation‚ this uses a catalyst such as palladium or nickel‚ hydrogen gas‚ and heat/pressure. This can reduced an alkane to alkene. This catalytic process is preferred in industrial practices because the cost is low in the long run and more importantly there is little to no waste expense. However‚ hydrogen gas is dangerous due to
