CHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF FRESHWATERS Objectives At the end of this section‚ students should be able to 1. Distinguish between freshwaters and seawater in terms of ionic composition. 2. Describe the variation of ionic composition in natural freshwaters and other inland waters. 3. Explain the factors that contribute to such variation. 4. Describe Gibbs’ model that explains the major factors contributing to variation in chemical composition of inland waters. 5. Explain

Introduction: The chemical industry has become one of the largest manufacturing industries in the world since the beginning of the 21st century (Murmann‚ 2003). They convert raw materials such as oil‚ natural gas‚ air‚ water‚ metals‚ and minerals into more than 70‚000 synthetic chemicals (United States Department of Commerce‚ n.d.). Heavy demands on chemicals allowed prosperity of materials goods and had brought convenience for many people. Now they can be found everywhere around world‚ and even

development has been the idea of chemical weapons‚ especially those in the form of weaponized gasses. These weapons‚ which are defined as an “ammunition or device‚ specifically designed to cause death or other harm through toxic properties of toxic chemicals.” have the potential to cause an unprecedented amount of harm if their proliferation is not regulated. The presence of these weapons throughout history is all too familiar to many of the world’s nations. Early chemical weapons‚ such as Chlorine and

Executive Summary American Chemical Corporation’s Collinsville plant in Alabama is being sought by Dixon a speciality chemicals company. This plant mainly specialises in Sodium Chlorate production and fits well with Dixon’s strategy of supplying chemicals to paper and pulp industry. It would also complement Dixon’s existing product line. The plant costs $12million in investment and requires up to$ 2.25 million for upgrading to new technology. An in-depth investigation and analysis is conducted

The Inhumane Weapons of Warfare Chemical warfare is a barbaric weapon of war that should be banned from any war situation. Chemical Warfare is using any chemical or chemical mix that can physically or mentally harm a human being. It has been killing people for over 2600 years and was created by Spartans. “They grabbed burning sulfur pitch and threw it over the walls of Athens attempting to fill the city with toxic gas.”[6] They tried this because they had a small army that was trying to take over

AP* Chemistry CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIA: GENERAL CONCEPTS THE NATURE OF THE EQUILIBRIUM STATE: Equilibrium is the state where the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction. At these conditions‚ concentrations of all reactants and products remain constant with time once equilibrium has been established at constant temperature. (In stoichiometry‚ we dealt with equations that went to completion; often equilibrium equations are going to fall short of this goal.) Reactions are
