The Environmental Impact of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Carbon Dioxide (CO2)‚ a chemical made up of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms‚ is a non-flammable‚ odorless and colorless gas that exists naturally in the atmosphere. CO2 is one of the greenhouse gases‚ amongst methane‚ nitrous oxide and other gases‚ which keeps the Earth’s temperature habitable (UCAR). Without it‚ the Earth will be inhospitably cold. However‚ ever since the mid-nineteenths century‚ humans have significantly increased the amount

Supercritical Carbon Dioxide as a Green Solvent Gregory Absillis June 2009 The majority of chemical processes in chemical synthesis are carried out in solution and organic solvents usually are the first choice. To satisfy this demand‚ 15 billion kilograms of organic are produced worldwide each year. [1] These solvents often bear considerable risk due to their toxicity‚ flammability or environmental hazards. Furthermore‚ they have to be separated from the products and recycled or disposed at

Deforestation The “Slashing and burning” of rainforests has to stop. The deforestation of our rainforests is effecting our environment and us more than you may think. We get the oxygen we need from trees‚ forests protect us from Carbon Dioxide‚ and forests protect most of Earth’s plants and animals. We need trees to breathe and rainforests to protect us from harsh things that we emit from our bodies. Many rainforests help and protect us. “More than 20% of the world’s oxygen comes from the Amazon”

not enough‚ what about night time when there is no sunlight? It is definitely not enough‚ as the rate is lower. Effect of this would be lacking of energy due to insufficient food supply‚ causing it to be difficult for us to perform daily activities at night. Although the process of photosynthesis is quite fast‚ it isn’t fast or high enough to keep up with the rate of energy required during activities for human. Adding to that‚ an important component in photosynthesis is carbon dioxide‚ without carbon

Investigating pH Aim: To demonstrate dissolved carbon dioxide changing the ph level of substances. Materials: * 2 beakers * 2 straws * Stop watch * Distilled water * Lime water * Litmus Paper Method: 1. Pour 100ml of Distilled water into the first beaker‚ and label said beaker. 2. Pour 100ml of Lime water into the second‚ also Label beaker. 3. Test the two liquids with litmus paper and note the ph level‚ before any carbon dioxide has been introduced. 4. Place a straw in each

Practical 3 Title: Effect of dissolved Carbon Dioxide on the pH of Water Aim: To investigate the effect of dissolved carbon dioxide on the pH of water. Hypothesis: The dissolved carbon dioxide will cause the water to turn acid‚ lowering the pH when carbon dioxide dissolves in water in which it forms carbonic acid (H2CO3). Materials: Straws‚ distilled water‚ safety glasses‚ pH probe‚ computer‚ universal indicator‚ gloves‚ lab coats‚ measuring cylinder‚ data logger‚ printer

There are many different ingredients in a kitchen that causes a chemical reaction with baking soda. This experiment was designed to test 4 kitchen ingredients(Omega oil‚ water‚ lemon juice‚ and vinegar) mixed with baking soda‚ to see which one will cause a balloon to expand. It was hypothesized that baking soda mixed with lemon juice and vinegar would cause the balloon to expand. Using these ideals the experiment was completed and the data was recorded. It was decided that the hypothesis was correct

Gasses such as methane‚ ethane and liquid condensate and volatile organic compounds (VOC). VOC’s have been proven to cause birth defects‚ neurological problems‚ and cancer. Most recently‚ in March of 2012‚ officials in Ohio are blaming the wastewater produced from fracking for a series of recent earthquakes. What my goal would be from you Mr. Ball‚ is
