Robert Lawrence and Edmund Stephens‚ two graduate students of geology from Columbia University‚ organized the Saline Salt Company in 1974. Keeping in mind the fact that every 1‚000 grams of seawater contains approximately 35 grams of various salts‚ the two men pictured limitless wealth for them by extracting these salts. Common table salt comprises 27 grams out of each 35 grams and is easy to extract; so‚ the men decided to begin producing it. They picked New Iberia‚ Louisiana as the ideal location

Diffusion and Osmosis lab Results: Figure 1a-rate of weight change in 15 min intervals of each concentration. The first tube showed very little weight change. However all other tubes show a greater change the concentration could be the factor that determines the permeability of the sucrose. The sucrose molecules are too large to pass through. Figure 1b- sucrose concentration determines the weight change. In this case based on our results as concentration increases the percent weight change

novelty of life in the tropics/ to the novelty of large-scale sugar production? And to the novelty of slave labor?” Summary: Dunn’s book chronicles the settling and early growth of the first 3 generations of British colonists in the Caribbean islands. From a modest attempt to grow North American staples tobacco and cotton‚ largely with white indentures and their own labor‚ the islands quickly turned‚ with Dutch assistance‚ into great sugar plantations with large numbers of African slave labor and

The Australian Sugar Cane Industry The Australian sugar cane industry is one of the largest industries in Australia and continues to grow today. It is the third largest raw sugar supplier after Brazil and India despite sugar being produced in over one hundred countries. It is also the seventh largest agricultural exporter in Australia. It is the second largest export crop after wheat and the fourth major export earning agricultural product. Its value of production is worth 1.5-2.5 billion dollars

3. Why are stabilisation salts added to evaporated or condensed milks prior to heating? The heat stability of milk is of tremendous importance in the successful processing of milk and the manufacture of most dairy products. Appropriate application of heat becomes necessary not just for destruction of spore-resistant micro-organisms but also for the preservation of the most desirable product characteristics. However‚ milk should not coagulate on heating. Heat coagulation is chiefly caused by de-stabilization

SALTS EVERYDAY First some words about salts in chemistry. Salts are ionic compounds that can result from the neutralization reaction of an acid and a base. They are composed of related numbers of cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negative ions) so that the product is electrically neutral (without a net charge). Salts can appear to be clear and transparent (sodium chloride)‚ opaque‚ and even metallic and lustrous (iron disulfide). In many cases the apparent opacity or transparency are

third reaction involves molecular iodine becoming a dark blue starch;I2(aq) + starch blue-black complex3. These three reactions react in a sequence. In any reaction the concentration is exponentially related to the rate of the reaction. The rate of the reaction is dependent on potassium iodate4. Therefore as the concentration increases‚ the rate of the reaction also increases. Since the rate of the reaction is inversely proportional to time‚ as the

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
