Formation of Hydrocarbons Types of hydrocarbons Parameters for hydrocarbon accumulation Phases of alteration of organic matter Types of kerogen Migration of hydrocarbons Five Major Types of Hydrocarbons Kerogen: Kerogen is a fine-grained‚ amorphous organic matter. It is not soluble to normal petroleum solvents‚ like carbon disulfide. Its chemical composition is 75% C‚ 10% H‚ 15% other (sulfur‚ oxygen‚ nitrogen‚ etc.). It is very important in the formation of hydrocarbons because it is what generates

Geography 5 April 2013 The Green Revolution refers to the application of modern‚ western-type farming techniques to less economically developed countries. Organic farming is a type of agriculture that uses natural forms of growing crops. In this essay I will address the comparative similarities and differences between The Green Revolution and organic farming. The Green Revolution occurred between the 1940’s and 1970’s. It consisted of using genetically modified seeds‚ pesticides‚ hormone insertion into

COMPARATIVE INVESTIGATION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS Abstract Organic compunds were examined to a comparative investigation to differentiate the properties of each sample. The physical state at room temperature‚ odor and color of the sample were noted by simple observation. In terms of solubility in H2O‚ 5% NaOH solution and 5% HCl solution‚ the samples were classified as to miscible‚ slightly immiscible or immiscible for liquid; and very soluble‚ soluble‚ partially soluble or insolubse for solid.

In addition to sugar‚ about 12 million litres of ethanol are produced annually at the two factories in Sevanagala and Pelwatta. Another by-product of the sugarcane industry is bagasse which could be used to generate electricity. In addition‚ animal feeds‚ bagasse based fiber boards‚ biogas‚ numerous organic compounds such as acetone‚ butanol etc. are other

Mrs. Feeney Biology 9 October 16‚ 2012 Identifying Organic Compounds Objective: To use indicators to test for the presence of organic compounds in certain substances. Theory: Major types of organic compounds in some common foods are Lipids‚ Carbohydrates‚ and Proteins. An indicator is a chemical compound that changes color and structure when exposed to certain conditions and is therefore useful for chemical tests. The purpose of using distilled water as one of the substances in the test
