of coal‚ a major industry in China‚ emits sulfur compounds‚ carbon and other byproducts into the air‚ which increases the risks of cancer‚ lung and heart issues. “Sulfur dioxide produced in coal combustion poses an immediate threat to the health of China’s citizens‚ contribution to about 40‚000 premature deaths a year” (Bradsher and Barboza). This not only affects the physical welfare of workers but anyone who is exposed to this tainted air. Sulfur dioxide emitted from coal combustion also contributes

The Process Most electrophilic substitution reactions are irreversible but sulfonation is an exception. Treatment of benzene with "oleum" (a solution of SO3 in concentrated sulfuric acid) will give the sulfonic acid‚ the electrophilic species being sulfur trioxide which is Lewis acidic. Fig – 1 Sulphonation : Benzene equation The sulfonic acid can be converted back by treatment with hot aqueous acid. The reason for this reversibility is the fact that the Wheland intermediate is overall neutral and

a rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic‚ meaning that it possesses elevated levels of hydrogen ions (low pH). It can have harmful effects on plants‚ aquatic animals and infrastructure. Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide‚ which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids. The most obvious environmental effect of acid rain has been the loss of fish in acid sensitive lakes and streams. Many species of fish are not able

It is ‘thiazolidine-2‚4-dione’ and not thiohydantoins as the reaction product of monosubstituted thioureas and chloroacetylchloride a a a a a The reaction products of monosubstituted phenylthioureas with chloroacetylchloride in a polyethylene glycol (PEG-400) medium and K2 CO3 as base/catalyst at an elevated temperature are exclusively thiazolidine-2‚4-diones and not thiohydantoins as has been reported. The core unit thiazolidine-2‚4-dione is essentially derived from chloroacetylchloride

term is "acid precipitation." • defined as any type of precipitation with a pH that is unusually low The Causes: • occurs when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are emitted into the atmosphere‚ undergo chemical transformations and are absorbed by water droplets in clouds • then fall to earth as rain‚ snow‚ mist‚ dry dust‚ hail‚ or sleet. • Dissolved carbon dioxide dissociates to form weak carbonic acid giving a pH of approximately 5.6 at typical atmospheric concentrations of CO2 • Therefore

Once some products are formed the reverse reaction can take place to reform the reactants. In a closed system the concentrations of all the reactants and products will eventually become constant. Such a system is said to be in a state of dynamic equilibrium. The forward and reverse reactions continue to occur‚ but at equilibrium

Biosynthesis and Biofunctions of Iron-sulfer proteins Yiming Chen‚ Brown University‚ May 11th‚ 2011 I. Introduction Iron-sulfur proteins are the proteins which contain iron-sulfur clusters‚ like sulfide-linked di-‚ tri-‚ and tetrairon centers with various oxidative states 1. An excess of 120 distinct types of enzymes and proteins are known to contain Fe-S clusters2. Iron-sulfur proteins are known for the role of the oxidation-reduction reactions of mitochondrial electron transportation. They are also
