Biodiesel Fuel The biggest problem the United States faces today when we talk about becoming energy independent is replacing the gas we use to power our vehicles. When we talk about replacing gasoline as the fuel we use to power our vehicles‚ biomass‚ hydrogen‚ and fuel cells are the three most talked about alternatives. Biomass‚ which is organic material made from plants and animals‚ contains stored energy from the sun. Biomass in the form of bio fuels can be used to make the same products

reduction of chromium(IV)‚ which is orange‚ to chromium(III)‚ which is green‚ when an alcohol is oxidized by the reagent. A change in color of the reagent from orange to green represents a positive test. Primary alcohols are oxidized by the reagent to carboxylic aicds; secondary alcohols are oxidized to ketones. Tertiary alcohols are not oxidized at all by the reagent. Hence‚ this reaction can be used to distinguish tertiary alcohols form primary and secondary alcohols. Procedures: 1. Place

Combustion Of Alcohols Planning This investigation involves burning alcohol in the air. Key science- Chemistry by Eileen Ramsden says that " an alcohol is a series of organic‚ homologous compounds‚ with the general formula Cn H2n+1OH". The alcohol reacts with the oxygen in the air to form the products water and carbon dioxide: Cn H2n+1OH +(n+n/2)-1O2 ? nH2O + nCO2 The structure of the molecules in this reaction is: H H | | H - C - C - O- H + 3[O=O] ? 1/2[O=C=O] + 3[H-O-H] | | H H This reaction

While fossil fuels are critical for the operation of our world their inefficiency and environmentally damaging characteristics take away from their appeal. Currently there are no suitable alternatives to our natural resources because they supply such a large amount of energy to so many people. Because of this research is being conducted to make our resources more efficient‚ and to find alternatives. This essay addresses the environmental impacts of our fossil fuels.

The Fossil Fuels Introduction Fossil Fuels are a non-renewable energy source. They are found in Earth’s depositions made over millions and millions years ago and are called non-renewable because they can’t be used again once they are spent. There are three major forms of fossil fuels: coal‚ oil and natural gas. COAL Coal is made up of carbon‚ oxygen‚ hydrogen‚ nitrogen and some amounts of sulphur -Three main types of coal: • Anthracite : the hardest and has the most carbon in
