beginning of the largest‚most disastrous oil spill in the United States had begun. The oil leak was caused by an explosion that happened at approximately 10:00 p.m‚killing eleven people and injuring seventeen others. Two days later‚ the rig sank and started to leak oil and gas from the well. After about three months of the well (Macondo) leaking oil‚ it finally got capped off on July 15. Within those three months‚ the well had leaked 134 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. The leak did not

OPEC Oil Embargo The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) was created in 1960 with the idea of unifying and protecting the interests of petroleum-producing countries. The members of this organization include: Iran‚ Iraq‚ Kuwait‚ Saudi Arabia‚ Venezuela‚ Qatar‚ Indonesia‚ Libya‚ The United Arab Emirates‚ Algeria‚ and Nigeria. Their goal was to slowly take over the function of the companies‚ at least in production‚ and then increase the amount of revenues they could retain. Despite

steam distillation we can isolate eugenol at lower temperature than its usual boiling point of 248 degree Celsius. Eugenol belongs to a category called essential oil. Many of these compounds are used as flavoring and perfumes and in the past were considered the essence of plant from which they were derived. Structure of eugenol (clove oil) and eugenol acetate: Reagents: Eugenol‚ CH2Cl2‚ Br2‚ FeCl3‚ Methanol Procedure: Co-distillation We first combine 15 mL of water with 1 g of crushed

Each and every one of us has their own reaction about the third State of the Nation Address of President Benigno “NoyNoy” Aquino III. There’s always a negative and positive reaction. We always have comments in every part of the SONA especially the topics and issues that the president have mentioned‚ even the language that the president used. Most of the issues in our country were mentioned by PNoy like the billions wasted by PAGCOR for coffee. I agreed with what PNoy said‚ wondering if the people

Title: Surface Area vs. Rate of Reaction Research question: How can different temperatures affect the rate of reaction‚ when the reactant is in powder form? Hypothesis: If the temperature of the water is increased‚ the rate of reaction will also increase as the heat given off to the particles will increase leading to more movement and frequent collisions. Background information: Chemical reactions occur when two or more molecules interact with each other‚ but that can only occur when they

on top of the shorter cup to prevent any heat loss to the air. Then the shorter cup was secured on a base with tape and a hole was drilled with a stir stick on the top of the taller cup to allow the stir stick and a thermometer reach the chemical reaction. With the calorimeter set up and ready‚ the experiment was ready to be conducted. The calorimeter was placed on a metric scale and tared. Then 2.5g of a substrate was measured out using a small scoop and placed in the calorimeter. A scale was used
