Dimon English 091 November 5‚ 2006 "Oil Dependency: Increase Research Funds" America’s dependency on foreign oil is slowly crippling the average citizen’s hard-earned income with outrageous fluctuation in gas prices. The American government seriously needs to step it in gear and start taking action on possible supplemental energy sources to replace foreign oil and actually begin providing those sources to the public without overpricing. Today’s foreign oil is polluting our air and crushing we

These kinds of agents are called vesicants or blistering agents‚ because they cause blistering of the skin and mucous membranes on contact. * Sulfur mustard is also known as “mustard gas or mustard agent‚” or by the military designations H‚ HD‚ and HT. * Sulfur mustard sometimes smells like garlic‚ onions‚ or mustard and sometimes has no odor. It can be a vapor (the gaseous form of a liquid)‚ an oily-textured liquid‚ or a solid

Agricultural Land Conservation The issues of land distribution and land conservation in agriculture attract more and more attention‚ especially when the expansion of cropland is hitting a limit since much more land is conserved for environmental purposes. Soil erosion is devastating the topsoil of land as chemical fertilizers are used to increase output within a limited amount of land. At the same time‚ livestock production expands at an ever-growing speed‚ worsening the land use situation.

Conservation is the practice of protecting plants or animals‚ and their habitats. These plants and animals may be very close to extinction. North America experienced a big loss of megafauna at the end of the Pleistocene era (about 13 000 years ago). This started a program known as “Pleistocene re-wilding”. Re-wilding involves the reintroduction of extant species into areas where they became extinct in the past. This program aims to restore the evolutionary and ecological potential that North America

Boyle’s Law - Solutions 1) If I have 5.6 liters of gas in a piston at a pressure of 1.5 atm and compress the gas until its volume is 4.8 L‚ what will the new pressure inside the piston be? P1V1 = P2V2 (1.5 atm)(5.6 L) = (x)(4.8 L) x = 1.8 atm 2) I have added 15 L of air to a balloon at sea level (1.0 atm). If I take the balloon with me to Denver‚ where the air pressure is 0.85 atm‚ what will the new volume of the balloon be? P1V1 = P2V2 (1.0 atm)(15 L) = (0.85 atm)(x) x = 18

Gas Chromatography Purpose: The purpose of the gas chromatography lab is to find out how different substances interact with the surface of a solid. Chromatography is a separation technique that depends on the relative distribution of the components of a mixture between a mobile phase and a solid stationary phase. Chromatography measures the tendency of a substance to interact with the surface of a solid or to remain in a mobile phase. When doing a chromatography lab the mobile phase has to
