Addition of carbon Combustion is the rapid burning of fossil fuels. Stored carbon in coal‚ oil and natural gas returns to the atmosphere when these fossil fuels are burnt and during natural combustion occurrences such as volcanic eruptions. Fossil Fuels such as coal are constructed when a living organism dies and decomposers‚ ie Fungi and microbes are unable to decompose it. After the organic material is untouched for millions of years‚ it eventually turns into fossil fuels. Petroleum‚ coal and

The small intestine (or small bowel) is the part of the gastrointestinal tract following the stomach and followed by the large intestine‚ and is where much of the digestion and absorption of food takes place. It receives bile juice and pancreatic juice through heptopancreatic duct‚ controlled by Spincter of oddi. Ininvertebrates such as worms‚ the terms "gastrointestinal tract" and "large intestine" are often used to describe the entire intestine. This article is primarily about the human gut‚ though

Further research shows that the formula for the Alka-Seltzer tablet is C16H17NaO14 however‚ it’s only part of the tablet causing the reaction - the baking soda (NaHCO3) reacts with the water causing it to create sodium (Na) and bicarbonate (HCO3). From there‚ the bicarbonate reacts with a hydrogen ion from the citric acid to create water – H2O – and carbon dioxide gas – CO3. Now‚ knowing this and using prior knowledge‚ it is easier to understand why increasing the amount of water slowed the rate of

Acids and Bases are two groups of chemical compounds that generally have opposite characteristics. They have there own unique traits‚ acids taste sour‚ turn litmus red while bases taste bitter and turn litmus blue. The term pH relates to measuring the acidity or alkalinity of a solution‚ such as vinegar‚ or even a damp substance like soul. The neutral pH is 7‚ which is essentially water‚ with lower numbers indicating acidity and higher numbers indicating alkalinity. Hydronium ions (H3O+) are

Sodium – There are mechanisms in place for sodium bicarbonate to be a fat-burning agent (it increases ketone production and lipolysis and causes a minor increase in metabolic rate)‚ but these have not yet been linked to actual weight loss in trials. https://examine.com/supplements/sodium-bicarbonate/ Potassium – Potassium levels change with sodium levels to keep muscles working properly throughout your body‚ especially your heart. http://www.webmd.com/diet/potassium-directory Beta-alanine –
