Acid rain‚ or more accurately acid precipitation‚ is the term used for describing rainfall with a pH level lower than 5.6. This type of pollution is a matter of great debate currently due to the potential of its causing environmental damages all across the world. For the last decade or so acid rain has caused destruction to hundreds of lakes and streams in many parts of the world‚ including the US‚ Canada‚ and Europe. Acid rain forms due to the oxides of sulfite and nitrogen combining with the moisture

first hand investigation to demonstrate the effect of dissolved carbon dioxide on the pH of water. DUE DATE: 21/11/07 CONDUCTOR: Wissam Bardouh EFFECT OF DISSOLVED CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) ON PH OF WATER Introduction: ((Carbon Dioxide is a greenhouse gas. It is everywhere ranging from our bodies to the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is produced in living organisms as a result of cellular respiration (glucose + oxygen -->carbon dioxide + water + energy). It occurs in high concentrations in the tissues in

on Carbon Dioxide Levels Problem: How does varying the type of organism (plant or animal) in the level affect the level of carbon dioxide? Background: This lab is used to test the effect the respiration rates in plants in animals and how it affects the level of carbon dioxide present in the water. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are gases that are vital to all organisms‚ whether it is given or released through that organism. Both plants and animals use oxygen and carbon dioxide for cellular

A more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide‚ methane emissions will leap as Earth warms Student’s Name Instructor Unit code A more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide‚ methane emissions will leap as Earth warms Emphases have been placed on carbon dioxide when issues touching on the effect of greenhouse gases are discussed. Carbon dioxide has emerged as the most dangerous gas. However‚ contrary to this‚ methane gas is 30 times more intoxicating. Methane gas prevalence will continue

Objective To investigate the effect of carbon dioxide concentration on the rate of photosynthesis Introduction Photosynthesis is a process that is essential for every living organism. Organic substances‚ such as glucose‚ are made from carbon dioxide and water by light energy from the sun. The light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and converted to chemical energy. During the process‚ oxygen is released as a by-product. The rate of photosynthesis is affected by a few of factors‚ including

Title: the mechanism of carbon dioxide and oxygen exchange in the respiratory of human Abstract The purpose of the experiment is to determine gas exchange activity in the respiratory system of human. The first lab for comparing the room and breathe temperature was to understand the function of the nasal cavity where the gas passed after an inhalation. The second lab for changing of chest circumference and abdomen circumference between inspiration and expiration was to know how the air moved in

taken under consideration is India. I have taken the time period 1985-2005. I have used the multiple regression analysis to establish the relationship. The software used is STATA. Introduction Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary greenhouse gas emitted through human activities. Carbon dioxide is naturally present in the atmosphere as part of the Earth’s carbon cycle (the natural circulation of carbon among the atmosphere‚ oceans‚ soil‚ plants‚ and animals). Human activities are altering the carbon

1 in vapour state sulphur partly exists as S2 molecule which has 2 unpaired electrons in the antibondind pi orbitals jus lyk oxygen and thus exhibits paramagnetism. 2 An interhalogen compound is a molecule whose atom contains two or more different halogen atoms (fluorine‚ chlorine‚ bromine‚ iodine or astatine). Most interhalogen compounds known are binary (composed of only two distinct elements). Their formulas are generally XYn‚ where n = 1‚ 3‚ 5 or 7‚ and X is the less electronegative

Sulfur and ammonia‚ the stench of the chemicals clung to the air coupled with the macabre scent of burnt flesh‚ a smell that simultaneously reminded one of a hospital and a barbecue. Three bodies lay torn asunder and charred on the streets of Tiber city‚ jagged black lines burnt into the surrounding brick walled alleyway. Sebastian Thorn was familiar with such scenes of flagrant violence‚ the handy work of an unlicensed mage‚ lightning was what had turned these people into charred corpses and burned
