PREPARATION OF TIN TETRAIODIDE 09/06/2012 Introduction The objective of this project was to prepare tin tetraiodide through the following reaction: Sn+2I2∆SnI4 and to measure the melting point of tin tetraiodide. Tin tetraiodide was recrystallized after the synthesis. The percent yield and the theoretical yield of tin tetraiodide were calculated. Recrystallization is to further improve the purity of tin tetraiodide. The solvent is carefully chosen to be toluene in order to maximize the recovery

In this article‚ Buffam discusses the potential risks that green roof runoff can have on downstream ecosystems. Though beneficial in some areas‚ storm water runoff from these roofs have been found to seep harmful chemicals that can contaminate water quality. Sources of phosphorous‚ carbon‚ copper and iron have all been identified as a part of the hazardous runoff. It has been anticipated that these green roof ecosystems have fluctuating runoff concentrations depending on plant production‚ microscopic
