The process of venting the gases releases methane and possibly “other hydrocarbons such as ethane‚ propane‚ butane‚ and pentanes as well as benzene‚ toluene‚ ethylbenzene‚ xylenes and hexanes‚ hydrogen sulfide (H2S)‚ and carbon dioxide” (Air 6 Pollution and Fracking 21). Another technique used when drilling for gas is flaring‚ burning of dangerous or useless gases. This also contaminates the air by

(Foster) Many of the chemicals used in the fracking process are proven toxins. These include benzene‚ ethyl-benzene‚ toluene‚ xylene‚ naphthalene‚ and other hazardous chemicals that are harmful if any contact is made. For these reasons‚ fracking in the United States should be halted. All around the United States‚ there are areas where the drilling takes place. Everywhere

Experiment 3: The preparation of acetaminophen (paracetamol) with thin layer chromatography (TLC) to monitor the reaction. Abstract: This experiment is to demonstrate the preparation of paracetamol and its properties. Reflux and filtration of 4-aminophenol and acetic anhydride formed the crude sample. Further analysis of dry white crystals were used to give quantitative measurements and a percentage yield of 46% was obtained. The overall conclusion is that the acetic anhydride reacted with the
