Acid Rain Within this past century‚ acidity of the air and acid rain have become recognized as one of the leading threats to our planet’s environment. No longer limited by geographic boundaries‚ acid causing emissions are causing problems all over the world. Some laws have been passed which limit the amount of pollutants that are released into the air‚ but tougher legislation must be implemented before this problem can be overcome. Acid rain is produced‚ when automobiles‚ smelters‚ power

1999 Adipic Acid (98/99-3) Currently operating commercial production processes for adipic acid depend on the production or purchase of KA oil (a mixture of cyclohexanone‚ the ketone or K component‚ and cyclohexanol‚ the alcohol or A component)‚ or of pure cyclohexanol‚ and its subsequent oxidation in solution to adipic acid using an excess of strong nitric acid. This report deals with KA oil/cyclohexanol production by various routes‚ followed by the common step of nitric acid oxidation. KA

Folic Acid is a B vitamin‚ specifically B9. It is an essential nutrient required by the body to create healthy new cells. While we hear about it mostly in regards to pregnancy‚ it is important to understand that the need for folic acid goes even beyond this. Folic acid is essential for the body to create red blood cells which in turn prevents anemia. It is also plays an important role in the metabolism of homocysteine‚ an amino acid. The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for all men and women

makes them highly specific and only work on one or a few similar chemical reactions. Enzymes themselves are not consumed in the reaction‚ but they help attract substrates into correct position to undergo chemical reaction. Enzymes greatly speed up the rate of biological reactions by lowering the energy of activation. To get a sense of the speed and efficiency of enzymes‚ substrates can be transformed to products at the rate of thousands of times per second with the enzymes. If we consider the total

Acids‚ Bases‚ and pH Lab In this lab the testing of whether or not a substance was an acid or a base occurred. Each substance was tested with the indicators red litmus paper‚ blue litmus paper‚ pH paper‚ phenolthalein‚ bromthymol blue‚ and phenol red. While the substances were tested the group noticed that the substances tested with the red and blue litmus paper‚ the phenolthatein‚ bronthmol blue were the easiest to interpret. The color changes that occurred when this indicator was put into a substance

Acid Rain Air pollution is one of the most common outcomes of the combustion of fossil fuels. A common air pollutant that is released is sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. This is because when coal and fuels obtained from crude oil are burned‚ sulpur and nitrogen is released into the atmosphere‚ which is eventually joint with the oxygen in the air to produce sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. When these gases are emitted in sufficient quantities‚ it reacts with the water and oxygen in the atmosphere

What is Acid Rain? First identified in 1872 in Sweden and studied in the U.S. beginning in the 1950s‚ acid rain is precipitation in the form of rain‚ snow‚ hail‚ dew‚ or fog that transports sulfur and nitrogen compounds from the high atmosphere to the ground. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NO‚ NO2) are bi-products from burning fuels in electric utilities and from other industrial and natural sources. These chemicals react with water‚ oxygen‚ carbon dioxide‚ and sunlight in the atmosphere
