CONTENTS RESEARCH QUESTION How does the length of carbon chains, specifically those related to alkanols, namely ethanol 1- propanol and 1- butanol, affect the heat of combustion? AIM To investigate how the length of carbon chains affect the heat of combustion and enthalpy, in order to determine which fuel would be the safest and most efficient to take on a camping trip. HYPOTHESIS If the number of carbon atoms in an alkanol is increased, then the alkanol containing the longest carbon…
We as humans are bound to make mistakes, no matter who you are at some point you will. For some businesses mistakes aren’t something they worry about, but are the mistakes there making too much and is it hurting us without them even caring? Flashback to April 10th, 2010 BP had an oil spill, which killed/ effected millions. BP is one of the seven “supermajor” oil and gas companies.

But not one major wall street executive has been prosecuted for the near collapse of our entire economy.” Says Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. So many young lives are disrupted or destroyed because they have sold or smoke a plant that has never killed anyone or even contributed to anyones death.

With fossil fuels causing harm to our environment, it is important to search for alternatives that will benefit our earth. Alternative energy is energy that is widely available and environment friendly. These alternative energy sources do not consume fossil fuels; instead they are nuclear, solar, wind or hydroelectrically powered. These energy forms are more environmentally friendly because they cause little or no pollution. It is important to know the different types of alternative energy…
Greenhouse effect occurs when visible light from the sun is given to the earth, this visible light coming in passes through the atmospheric layers to warm up the earth. This warming of the planet is reflected back in longer wavelength known as infrared radiation. Although it is radiated back into space some of this radiation does not pass the atmosphere and is radiated back. This is a natural effect but as more greenhouse gasses are put out by humans through the burning of fossil fuels and clear…
Global warming has been taking effect on the Earth’s environment since the 1950’s creating dramatic changes and dangerous new records. In the last three decades the Earth’s average surface temperature has each been successively warmer than any previous decade since 1850 as a result of increase greenhouse emissions (IPCC 2014). This temperature rise is impacting some of the most vulnerable ecosystems on the planet such as the polar regions, coral reefs and tropical rainforests. Climate change can…
The structure and function of carbohydrates (25 Marks) Carbohydrates are made from Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H) and Oxygen (O). A monosaccharide is the monomer sub unit of carbohydrates and can be joined together through a condensation reaction to form a glycosidic bond between the two monomers which is known as a disaccharide. The above diagram shows a condensation reaction taking place. There is a reaction between two monomer sub units, in this case α-glucose and ethanol, which involves the…
