Distinguished ladies and gentlemen. Acid rain is becoming a widespread problem around the world. The amount of acid in rain has dramatically increased in the past decade in certain areas like America and Europe by 70%. How is it caused? It is formed by the chemicals in the process of burning fossil fuels mixing with the moisture in the Earth’s atmosphere. Acid rain come in two forms‚ wet and dry. Dry deposition‚ a more accurate term for acid rain‚ can appear to be snow‚ hail or other dry particles

Amino acids are important building blocks; they play an essential role in the formation of proteins and as intermediates in metabolism. Amino acids can serve as cell signaling molecules and can regulate gene expression. An optimal amount of amino acids is essential for health. There are over 500 amino acids‚ however only 20 are commonly found. Amino acids all have an amine functional group and a carboxylic acid functional group. They differentiate from each other in their side chains. Only 10 of

CHEM 1105 Experiment 4: Determination of a Chemical Formula Introduction When atoms of one element combine with those of another‚ the combining ratio is typically an integer or a simple fraction. The simplest formula of a compound expresses that atom ratio. When two or more elements are present in a compound‚ the formula still indicates the atom ratio. To find the formula of a compound we need to find the mass of each of the elements in a weighed sample of that compound. For example‚

Determination of Water in a Hydrate DESIGN – Aspect 1: Defining the problem & selecting variables Research Question: What percentage of Copper Sulfate Hydrate is water? Background Information: There are many ionic compounds that contain one or more waters of hydration in their formulae. They exists either in anhydrous or hydrated form. Most anhydrous compounds have a strong tendency to absorb water from the humidity in the atmosphere and shifts into a hydrated form. Because of

Acid Rain is a type of air pollution‚ which is formed when oxides of sulfur and nitrogen combine with atmospheric moisture to yield sulfuric and nitric acids‚ which may then be carried long distances from a source before they are deposited by rain. This pollution may also take the form of snow‚ fog‚ or a dry form of precipitation. Acid rain is currently a subject of great controversy because of widespread environmental damage‚ for which it has been blamed‚ including eroding structures‚ injuring crops

The acid-fast stain is performed on samples to demonstrate the characteristic of acid fastness in certain bacteria. Acid fastness is a characteristic that is shared by just a few organisms‚ so staining to determine if organisms possess this trait is useful in microbial identification schemes. The Ziehl-Neelsen method has endured as a reliable and effective way to demonstrate the acid-fast bacteria. Materials: 18-20 nutrient hour agar slant culture of Staphyloccus aureus 4 day old nutrient

Lab 7: Determination of Water Hardness Using a Titrator Name: Kyndal Petrie Lab Partners: None Date of Experiment: July 19‚ 2013 Location: My house Course Number: Che112 Abstract: This experiment was to determine the hardness of the local water supply. I determined that from the 1mg of EDTA used to turn the mixture blue‚ that the water from my tap is moderately soft. Experiment and Observation: In this experiment I developed a familiarity with the concept

Marz Jhon V. Patricio QUANTITATIVE DETERMINATION OF THE ACIDITY OF SOFT DRINKS I. Introduction A. Principle Titration is a laboratory method that is the slow addition of one solution to another until the reaction reaches neutralization‚ which is often indicated by color change. Acid-base titration is the most frequently used procedure to determine the concentration of an acid or basic solution. This titration is also called as neutralization reaction. By adding an indicator to the solution‚ we will
