Carbon-13

For years this planet has been undergoing vast changes in its environment, wildlife, and mostly our oceans. The acidifying of our oceans is because of all the Carbon Dioxide that is absorbed by seawater. A chemical reaction that occur which reduces seawater's pH. All of the Carbon Dioxide is being put into our atmosphere by the burning of fossil fuels. Calcium carbonate minerals are the building blocks for the skeletons of shells of many marine organisms. In certain areas where life now…

gas or even nuclear energy source. This plan is one of many plans for Indian communities to live greener. By taking emission from power plant that burn nothing but natural gas to be pump into greenhouse. Inside the greenhouse the plant will take in carbon dioxide and water vapors which will produce oxygen.The benefits of this is to reduce coal as a fuel source when you burn coal, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and other chemical are produced. Another ideas is reuse water the we use in the…

Activated carbon is a form of carbon that has treated in order to give it small pores, with lower volume, this increases the surface area accessible for adsorption. Adsorption is a procedure where solids are used for taking a soluble contaminate out of water. In this procedure active carbon is the solid that has been mentioned. The reason activated carbon is such a good filter is because of the huge surface area (between 300-2000m2/g), this is because surface area is proportional to adsorption…

Kendon Brown Econ 475 5/31/2018 Carbon Tax Summary and economic discussion: Carbon is one of earth’s most plentiful natural elements, in fact it’s the 15th most abundant elements on Earth and 4th most abundant element by mass, in the universe. Further, Carbon can be found in just about any organic compound, from humans to plants to fossil fuels. Unsurprisingly, carbon is present in every hydrocarbon fuel source this includes coal, oil, natural gas, and petroleum. Indeed, when humans use…

fixation is a process in which inorganic carbon is converted into organic carbon that can be used in other pathways to synthesize macromolecules. The Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) pathway is often utilize by photoautotroph, photoheterotroph, and lithoautotroph for CO2 fixation. The CBB pathway is a cyclic pathway that occurs in 3 stages, the carboxylation phase, follow by the reduction phase, and then the regeneration phase. In the carboxylation phase, a 5 carbons compound called ribulose…

One of the many conspiracy theories that people are going mad about is that global warming is a hoax. Global warming is when there is an increase in temperature that is thought to be caused by carbon dioxide created by humans and other animals (Geiselman). The global warming hoax has been going on since the 1980’s and is still an ongoing conspiracy theory today. With nobody knowing if global warming is real or not, some people think it is a hoax because global warming is just an earth cycle,…

to generate electric power tons of gases are being burned because Kuwait does not have any other way to generate electric power like other countries in different continent. The third reason for CO2 emissions are industrials which is almost estimated 13% which is almost a quarter of the total CO2 emissions. An example for industrials are oil refineries. Oil refineries is a place where people breakdown oil to fuels and the problem with oil refineries is that a lot of oil would be not needed so the…

observed century-scale rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system and its related effects. Global warming is the increase of the temperature of the earth's atmosphere caused by the greenhouse effect, which is caused by high levels of carbon dioxide, and other pollutants. As a result, of Global Warming sea surface temperatures are warming and sea levels are rising. This has lead to an increase in catastrophic hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanoes erupting more often.…

of cellular respiration: aerobic respiration, and anaerobic respiration. The chemical equation for aerobic respiration is C 6H 12O 6 = 2C 2H 5OH + 2CO 2 + 2ATP, which means that glucose is created when ethanol acid or lactic acid is combined with carbon dioxide and energy (ATP). Aerobic respiration is the process of producing ATP using oxygen, while anaerobic…

through Using the CO2 Probe record the initial CO2 levels at the beginning of the 1 minute and the CO2 levels after 1 minute. Make sure the CO2 Probe does not touch the contents of the container Record all measurements in a data table Repeat steps 10-13 for each of the three cups in all four groups (0g, 1g, 1.25g,…
