Gunpowder is one of china’s four greatest inventions. Gunpowder is an ancient chemical explosive that was accidently created by Chinese Taoists who were attempting to create a portion of immortality by combining salt peter, sulfur, and charcoal. There are multiple types of gun powder: Black powder (organic), black powder (modern / synthetic), cordite, smokeless ball powder (aka spherical powder), smokeless flake powder (found in shot shells), and smokeless stick powder (aka extruded powder).…

The Anthropocene is an era characterized by humans’ intercontinental impact on ecological systems and processes (Steffen et al. 2011). Monitoring ecosystem function and fluctuation is the primary interest of Dr. David Lewis, who examines variables associated with the Anthropocene, including: land modification, nutrient cycling, hydrologic perturbations, and climate change. Many anthropogenic activities result in heightened nutrient inputs into the environment (Foley et al. 2005), including land…

At Pyro’s Academy, we have a lot to offer and to teach you! For example, you learn about the different types of chemical reactions such as combustion and displacement, how to write word equations about chemical reactions and the difference between exothermic reactions and endothermic reactions. To write combustion as a word equation you would write ‘___ -> Oxygen = ___ Oxide’ so if the element you were burning was Iron, the product would be Iron Oxide. In a chemical reaction, the surroundings…

Westfield Public Schools Poopy Power Boosting the power of cow manure to create more methane gas Gabriel Piepergerdes Tyler William Gentle Sweeney Literature Review When you hear the word cow manure, you automatically think of an awful smelling brown substance, which is true. The smell of manure from cows and other ruminants can be strong and extremely unpleasant, however cow waste is a great source of energy that can be used to power the farm.…

Anhydrous ammonia is the target of methamphetamine (meth) producers after it spilled out the derailed train cars 10 days ago in Stoughton. Anhydrous ammonia is a key ingredient in the production of meth, the highly addictive, central nervous system stimulating drug. Meth has a high potential for abuse and dependence, and is very easy to make when utilizing anhydrous ammonia. Two tankers that remain at the crash site still have anhydrous ammonia inside of them. These tankers are now under…

In contrast, Hurst believes that industrial farmers are environmentally responsible, changing industrial farming will inflate food prices and potential starvation, and realizes that we can’t change nature; we must use what we have. Hurst points out that “The biggest environmental harm I have done as a farmer is the topsoil (and nutrients) I used to send down the Missouri River to the Gulf of Mexico before we began to practice no-till farming, made possible only by the use of herbicides. The…

learn more about this chemical that is important in future career. Some general information about Ammonia is the chemical formula, molecular weight, availability, characteristics and health concerns. The chemical formula is three hydrogen and one nitrogen ("Ammonia."). The molecular weight is 17.0305 grams per mole. Also, it can be produced commercially and in nature ("Ammonia."). Ammonia has a few distinctive characteristics such as it has a sharp odor, usually clear and most commonly found in…

effluent, or out-flowing, water is pumped out to Beaver Run, which then feeds into Tinker’s Creek, which then empties out into the Cuyahoga River, which goes to Lake Erie. The remaining amount of B.O.D. is .61 ppm. The remaining amount of Ammonia (Nitrogen) left is .07 ppm, a drastic decrease. The amount of phosphorous left was .49 ppm. Trace amounts of mercury, copper, and lead are still left, but not enough to harm…

of the earliest items to be referred as a fire chemical component. The gun powder components are known to be all reactive products which cause the reaction of an explosion. Nitro compounds are highly reactant and is stabled by a molecule which is nitrogen. The molecules which nitro compounds obtain do not bond together which makes the nitro compound explosive since there is no boding whatsoever. When nitro compounds were used they were specifically made for gunnery in wars. If nitro compounds…

Did you know that at one point, the United States had a fear that they would run out of natural gas? Roughly a decade ago, industry analysts and government officials became worried that the United States would run out of natural gas, a source of energy in the states. A solution to this predicted problem would become hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking. Developed more than sixty years ago by George P. Mitchell, fracking is the process of pumping millions of gallons of chemically treated…
