Gravimetric Determination of Iron as Fe2O3 Laboratory Experiment 2 February 19‚ 2013 Abstract: In the Gravimetric determination is the measurement of mass in two different forms precipitation and volatilization. In our experiment we will be using the precipitation form which isolates an ion in a solution by a precipitation reaction‚ filtering‚ purifying by wash method‚ conversion to product of known composition‚ and final weigh of the product comparing the mass difference of theorictal and actual

CAUSES OF GLOBAL WARMING: Global warming also causes sea surface temperatures to rise‚ precipitation patterns to change‚ etc.. (NASA‚ 2002) Global warming can have many different causes‚ but it is most commonly associated with human interference‚ specifically the release of excessive amounts of greenhouse gases. (EPA‚ 2006) Global warming is caused by excessive quantities of greenhouse gases emitted into Earth’s near-surface atmosphere. Greenhouse gases are both man-made and occur naturally

Global climate change has positive and negative effects on marine and terrestrial ecosystems. The cause of global climate change is said to be because carbon dioxide is being emitted through the large scale burning of oil‚ coal and gas‚ with an additional contribution coming from clearing of tropical forests and woodlands which results in wildlife life destruction. The carbon dioxide traps heat from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere and prevents it from being sent back out into space. The heat that
