Ammonia

Flaws The area in which the data was collected varied going by each result. The historical data (May 2012 to Sep 2015) was all measured from different parts of the creek. This means that the results may not be accurate to each other, or to the overall results. For example, in May 2013 the percentage of dissolved oxygen was very low at 29% saturation. The reason for this is the exceptionally high flow rate and cloud cover. This indicates that the day in which the data was collected the water was…

the days of Ancient Egypt in the form of ammonium chloride, (NH4Cl) or sal ammonia as it was known to alchemists,…

petroleum based, which means that over a long process, petroleum is turned into ammonia for the fertilizers. Petroleum is extracted from oil, which is a nonrenewable resource, which means that eventually without oil, there will be no chemical fertilizers. Natural compost on the other hand is renewable. It does not come in an inaccurate spray, and it delivers more nutrients directly to the plant, instead of only ammonia.…

From news broadcasts, food labels and restaurants, to your own backyard, the organic craze is spreading across the country. With increasing members of society demanding “organic”, it may be time to offer a program specifically for this growing trend. A majority of you already return clippings, use IPM techniques, fertilize with slow release nitrogen, spot treat and minimize pesticide/herbicide applications, which all describe a successful sustainable lawn care program. By offering programs that…

Known for the method used in industry to synthesize ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen gases, Fritz Haber was, and still is, a well-known German chemist whose invention is used today for the production of fertilizers, cleaning products, and explosives. He was born on December 9, 1868, in Breslau, Prussia. Three weeks after being born, his mother passed away due to the toll her pregnancy took on her, thus leaving him to be raised in a Jewish household by his father, Siegfried, and several of his…

Raw material: Two sweet varieties of Apricot (Prunus Armeniaca L.) namely Marghulam and Halman fully ripened fruits were collected from Gilgit Baltistan region in Northern Areas of Pakistan. Apricots were sun dried under open condition (26-34+4 C, RH 41-52%) for 16-19 days. The sun dried Apricots were packed in polyethylene bags containing 01Kg of dried fruit. Further The dried samples obtained were ground to a fine powder and stored at 5°C in air-tight containers prior to further analysis.…

This test is performed on organisms to see if it has the enzymes to reduce the Nitrate to Nitrite. To run the test, it will require using two colorless chemicals (so make sure you are paying attention) that will either change the color of the organism by the interaction of the new chemicals with the enzymes found in the unknown organism. So, if the organism has the capability to reduce the nitrate to nitrite the solution in the test tube will turn red almost immediately and the organism is…

In the Monster Who Fed the World you learn about a German Jew named Fritz Haber. Haber was a genius chemist who learned how to take nitrogen out of the air and turn it into a liquid form to contain to use for fertilizer to help grow food for the overpopulated German nation and later the world. Unfortunately, some things and most things can have good and bad uses. Fritz Haber was born on December 9th, 1868. He was the son of a Jewish merchant in a small town. He had all ways longed for a better…

Pattawong November 21st, 2014 Learning about Ammonia The chemical that I researched was Ammonia because of it’s involvement in agriculture. I am interested in agriculture and plan on majoring in Animal Science. Ammonia is an ingredient in many of the products that I use when working with animals and this made me curious. I used this opportunity to learn more about this chemical that is important in future career. Some general information about Ammonia is the chemical formula, molecular…

developed an excessive amount of a brown solid. Additional drops of 2% aqueous ammonia were added until the precipitate had dissolved completely. It was emphasized that excess ammonia should be avoided, since it could affect the results of the test by affecting the production of the Tollens’ reagent, and it was also emphasized that these solutions should be added in this exact order. After adding the drops of 2% aqueous ammonia, the Tollens’ reagent was completed, and 2 drops of every respective…
