Air pollution has become one of the most important concerns of the local authorities of Latin- American cities. Bogotá‚ like as other urban centers in South America such as Sao Paulo‚ Mexico City and Santiago de Chile‚ shows significant levels of air pollution‚ levels that may represent a high risk for the population’s health and certainly a reduction in the quality of life of its inhabitants. Bogotá‚ capital of Colombia‚ is one of the largest cities of Latin America; with a population of around

Determination of Water in a Hydrate DESIGN – Aspect 1: Defining the problem & selecting variables Research Question: What percentage of Copper Sulfate Hydrate is water? Background Information: There are many ionic compounds that contain one or more waters of hydration in their formulae. They exists either in anhydrous or hydrated form. Most anhydrous compounds have a strong tendency to absorb water from the humidity in the atmosphere and shifts into a hydrated form. Because of

Purpose: To use electrochemistry to extract metals from ionic compounds in solution Procedure: -Start by attaching battery snap connector to a battery and fill beaker with between 100 and 200 mL of copper (II) sulfate solution -Connect clip to each of the nickel strips -Place nickel strips in copper sulfate solution without strips touching -Put one clip on the positive side of the battery and the second to the negative side. Observe -Switch clips to the opposite charged sides of the battery

Acid Rain Introduction: Titrations are often recorded on graphs called titration curves‚ which generally contain the volume of the titrant as the independent variable and the pH of the solution as the dependent variable (because it changes depending on the composition of the two solutions). The equivalence point on the graph is where all of the starting solution (usually an acid) has been neutralized by the titrant (usually a base). One can easily find the pKa of the monoprotic acid by finding

If you do not wash all of the Calcium Carbonate out‚ then the percent yield would be smaller because there is enough calcium carbonate left in the beaker that would have attributed to the final yield. b.

Introduction Carboxylic acids is an organic compound that contains a carboxylic group(-COOH). Its general formula is R-C=OOH with R referring to the rest of the molecule such as H and C. They are directly attached to a carbonyl group and the interaction between them affects the reactions of each. The polarity of the O-H bond
