Acid Rain and the Effects of our Monuments and Churches The two controlled experiments that I chose to do‚ do not involve trees or plants‚ which I think a lot of people will be doing. I wanted to explore the devastation that acid rain does to our historic monuments and beautiful churches. My first controlled experiment is based on the Statue of Liberty. It is made of copper so I am using pennies in my experiment. (nps.gov. n.d.) My observation is that acid rain corrodes metals

on biological thinking as the discovery of base-pairing in nucleic acids. These complementariness principles do not only underlie current ideas on the structure of the nucleic acids‚ but they form the foundation of all speculations‚ more or less well- founded‚ on their physical properties (denaturation‚ hypochromic- ity‚ etc.)‚ on the transfer of biological information from deoxy- ribonucleic acid to ribonucleic acid‚ and on the role of the latter in directing the synthesis of specific

If the sugar is ribose‚ the polymer is RNA. Together with proteins‚ nucleic acids are the most

good conclusion should contain all of the following parts a) You should state what experiment was performed‚ and show any necessary reaction schemes. The reaction schemes should include molecular weights and any other important physical data for the reagents and products. Ex. Cyclohexanol was oxidized to cyclohexanone using sodium dichromate in the presence of sulfuric acid. * Note: you can download a free version of a structure editor from ACD labs‚ the PC version is called chemsketch‚ the Mac version

Introduction: Acid rain has proven to be a big problem for Connecticut. It has had a great impact on builders‚ wildlife‚ and the water sources. Acid rain has many components in it such as pollutants from plants to sulfuric acid from burning coal. Problem: Which stone is the most resistant against acid rain? Hypothesis: If we test the different stones against acid rain then red sand stone would be the best because it is heavier and cannot be easily broken. Independent variable: Type of stones

trial produced the most oxygen of all three trials. Heat tends to increase the rate of chemical reactions‚ explained in the article Temperature Effects (Introduction to Enzymes) by Chris Jamison. “Like most chemical reactions‚ the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction increases as the temperature is raised. A ten degree rise in temperature will increase the activity of most enzymes by 50 to 100% . Variations in reaction temperature as small as 1 or 2 degrees

+ R’X R O R’ + NaX Ar O Na + RX Ar O R + NaX Involves a nucleophilic substitution reaction. Halide ion is displaced by the alkoxide or phenoxide ion. Gives best results when 1o alkyl halides are used. Mechanism is SN2. Alkoxides may be prepared by reacting an alcohol with NaH or by reacting an alcohol with Na metal. Phenoxides may be prepared by reaction of phenols with NaOH ROH + NaH ROH + Na ArOH + NaOH RO Na - - + + H2 RO Na + + 1/2

Title: Experiment 17‚ Reaction kinetics – Determination of the activation energy of the reaction between oxalic acid and potassium permanganate. Objective: To determine the activation energy of the reaction between oxalic acid and potassium permanganate. Introduction: Chemical kinetics is the study of chemical reaction rates‚ how reaction rates are controlled and the pathway or mechanism by which a reaction proceeds from its reactants to its products. Reaction rates vary from the very fast‚ which
