it plays a vital role in the purification of the water we drink. We also depend on it to dispose of some of our wastes. The increasing population within the world has had an impact on the lithosphere and consequently as led to the deterioration of this essential component of the biophysical environment. Land degradation has become one of the primary issues of concern arising from the human interaction with the lithosphere. It encompasses soil degradation and the deterioration of natural landscapes

“The Synthesis of Zinc Chloride”‚ what a peculiar name for a lab that does not even involve synthesis. Synthesis‚ by definition‚ is when two elements are combined in a chemical reaction‚but that is not the case. In this lab we are combining zinc‚ an element‚ and hydrochloric acid‚ a compound‚ but combining a compound and an element is not synthesis‚ it is single replacement. We are taking zinc and hydrochloric acid and making zinc chloride and hydrogen‚ a single replacement‚ but what occurred during

1.1 Background of the Experiment Mass density describes how heavy an object is. Defined by the Greek letter ρ‚ read as rho‚ density is a basic yet important physical property of matter. For a bulk body without accounting its existing pores and voids‚ density is represented by the ratio of its mass and volume. It is given by the equation ρ= massvolume 1. The SI unit of density is kg/m3. However‚ its CGS units‚ g/cm3 or g/ mL‚ are the most commonly used ones in the laboratory. The conversion is

of a Solution of Sodium Hydroxide: Introduction: In a lot of cases it isn’t possible to prepare a solution by accurate weighing of the solute‚ dissolving in water and diluting to volume. There are many possible reasons for this‚ but in the case of sodium hydroxide‚ the solid absorbs moisture from the air‚ and also reacts with carbon dioxide from the air. In that case‚ it cannot be accurately weighed in air. In an experiment like this‚ a solution of the approximate required concentration was prepared

Hydrolysis of tert-butyl Chloride in different solvents Practical conducted on 5 March‚ 2013 Reported by Pham Vu Hung on 10 March‚ 2013 Introduction: This practical is meant to measure the rate of reaction of the hydrolysis of tertiary-butyl chloride –a colorless‚ liquid organic compound at room temperature that is sparingly soluble in water - in water/acetone and water/isopropanol mixtures. Since there are many influencing factors for the rate of reaction‚ all are kept constant but the

through the method of depreciation a company uses. The method a company chooses to incorporate should be one that most effectively matches expenses with the revenues produced. The method that most select is that of straight-line depreciation‚ which "spreads the depreciable value evenly over the useful life of an asset." (Horngren‚ Sundem‚ Elliott‚ & Philbrick 2006‚ p.342) Depreciation schedules reflect how much depreciation will be allocated for each year of the assets useful life. In order to calculate

Gaviscon. The number of moles of NaOH that were added from the burette is 0.00327 moles (1 tablet of Gaviscon). However‚ for Quick-eze‚ the number of moles is 0.00216 moles (1 tablet). This means the average volume of the NaOH have affected the number of moles as the concentration of the sodium hydroxide is 0.1M. This means that if less NaOH was required to neutralise the acid‚ the number of moles of HCl neutralized by the ant-acid would be greater. For example; by using mole ratio‚ the number of moles

Matt R Results & Analysis Part 1: 1.) To determine the density and composition of a penny it must be first weighed on a scale. Find the average mass of multiple pennies from the same year. After weighing it find the volume by placing the pennies into a 50 ml beaker with 15 ml of water. Note the change in volume to obtain the volume of the pennies‚ obtain the average volume‚ and then calculate the density by dividing the mass of the penny by the volume. 2.) To keep measurements accurate and precise

cause allergic reactions like contact dermatitis‚ acne‚ or itching. The contact solution I use each morning includes Sodium Borate (Na2[B4O5(OH)4]·8H2O). According to my research‚ Sodium Borate is normally slightly irritating to skin and eyes. When chronic exposure occurs‚ it produce eye irritation‚ cough‚ and skin rash. The hairspray I use each morning includes Aminomethyl Propanol (C4H11NO). At higher concentrations‚ Aminomethyl Propanol is considered
