oxides and hydrocarbons are produced as fossil fuels are used (Union of Concerned Scientist‚ n. d.). Carbon monoxide causes headaches and aggravates people with heart disease. Nitrogen dioxide and nitric oxides create smog‚ a yellowish-brown “cloud” layer that settles on the ground. And these substances irritate lungs causing issues like bronchitis and pneumonia. Sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides are the primary components of acid rain and snow that affect plants and buildings. Hydrocarbons are another

What is cracking? Cracking is the name given to breaking up large hydrocarbon molecules into smaller and more useful bits. This is achieved by using high pressures and temperatures without a catalyst‚ or lower temperatures and pressures in the presence of a catalyst. The source of the large hydrocarbon molecules is often the naphtha fraction or the gas oil fraction from the fractional distillation of crude oil (petroleum). These fractions are obtained from the distillation process as liquids

Benzene is a special case of conjugation that leads to an especially stable bonding arrangement. The benzene ring consists of six sp2 hybridized carbon atoms in a regular hexagon. Each carbon forms two σ-bonds with adjacent carbons‚ and a third σ-bond with a hydrogen atom. The 2p orbital on each atom is available for π-bonding. Interaction between the p orbitals on the six carbon atoms forms a conjugated system of π-electrons. Molecules with this bonding arrangement are called aromatic molecules

The PerkFilter device can be used to help meet Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) requirements for removal of solids‚ trash‚ debris‚ and petroleum hydrocarbons. The device can also be a critical component of a comprehensive Low Impact Development (LID) strategy to help increase the service life of infiltration‚ detention‚ and retention systems as well as other stormwater treatment

released during photosynthesis. Humans are also dependent on ancient products of photosynthesis‚ known as fossil fuels‚ for supplying most of our modern industrial energy. These fossil fuels‚ including natural gas‚ coal‚ and petroleum‚ are composed of a complex mix of hydrocarbons‚ the remains of organisms that relied on photosynthesis millions of years ago. Thus‚ virtually all life on earth‚ directly or indirectly‚ depends on photosynthesis as a source of food‚ energy‚ and oxygen‚ making it one of
