ABSTRACT Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) problems are the most important environmental problems in sulphide mines especially mines which contain pyrite. Oxidation of sulphides in contact with air and water produces sulphuric acid which reduces the pH of water. The result of these reactions is increase in the solubility of heavy metals and consequently pollution of water resources. The Sarcheshmeh copper mine is one of the largest porphyry copper mines in the world which is located in south-eastern Iran

Economy - overviewzz Philippine GDP grew 7.6% in 2010‚ spurred by consumer demand‚ a rebound in exports and investments‚ and election-related spending‚ before cooling to 3.7% in 2011. The economy weathered the 2008-09 global recession better than its regional peers due to minimal exposure to troubled international securities‚ lower dependence on exports‚ relatively resilient domestic consumption‚ large remittances from four- to five-million overseas Filipino workers‚ and a growing business process

AMINO ACIDS BY MEANS OF TITRATION CURVE ABSTRACT The aim of the experiment was to identify an unknown amino acid through acid-base titrations which was prepared in water to form an acidic solution. Each group prepared unknown amino acid hydrochloride. The pre-prepared basic solution was slowly added to the amino acid solution and pH change was closely observed using the pH meter. During these titrations the amino acid converted from cation to zwitterion to anion; zwitterion is an amino acid with

about the universal genetic code and the relationship between living organisms on Earth. Procedure: The charts below lists a portion of the amino acids found in the Cytochrome C protein of several different organisms. Use the chart to compare the amino acid sequence in humans to the sequences of the other organisms listed. For each organism‚ identify any amino acid that is different or missing when compared to the amino acids in the human sequence. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Experiment #5: Acid Burn!!! Introduction The goal of this lab was to correctly prepare a 0.2M solution of NaOH‚ identify highly acidic household cleaning chemicals‚ and determine their concentration (molarity) through titrations using the previously prepared 0.2M NaOH solution. Experimental First‚ to create 0.5L of 0.2M solution of NaOH‚ standard 3M NaOH solution was obtained. Next‚ calculations were performed to determine the amount 3M NaOH necessary to create 0.5L of the 0.2M solution and‚ as

I. Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to determine the pH values of acids‚ bases‚ and buffers of distilled water and 10.0 buffer using measured concentrations of Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and/or Hydrochloric acid (HCl). Acid is a compound typically having a bitter taste and capable of nullifying alkalis and releases hydrogen ion when added to a solution‚ or containing an atom that can accept a pair of electrons from a base (McKinley‚ Dean O’Loughlin‚ & Stouter Bidle‚ 2016). Bases are water-soluble
