Introduction As the threats of climate change have increased, so has research on alternative energy. Alternative energy differs from classic fuel sources (i.e. coal, shale, natural gas) because it uses natural resources that has the ability to be consistently replaced; thus it is also termed “renewable energy.” “Biofuels” are a specific class of renewable energy that refers to biomass (versus other natural resources like sunlight) or harvested metabolites from living organisms that can be…

States from carbon monoxide poisoning every year, and many more suffer a brain injury or other accidents as a result. What can you do to protect yourself from this silent killer? Education and awareness are the best weapons against this odorless, colorless and poisonous gas. Carbon monoxide gets produced when burning different fuels. Some of the fuels that can produce carbon monoxide include: Cars Kerosene Charcoal Wood Coal Natural Gas Propane Portable Generators Symptoms of carbon monoxide…

Carbon is one of the very important elements on planet earth. It contains four valence electrons, which can build essential properties of life, like DNA for example. It has organic properties for the basis of all living organisms. It is necessary for carbon to move through out the planet, through non-living and living things in order to have a balance of energy. Biogeochemical cycling moves carbon throughout the planet into living things and back again. Biogeochemical cycling is a pathway where…

reached 150 miles per hour on a highway for a deer to cross within only fifty feet. If anyone can do the math, then you will find that it’s impossible. Yes, I’m afraid to say that the amount of those carbons in the air and the damage it has caused cannot be taken back. What I’m also afraid is that those carbon atoms are not the only ones causing the damage. Whenever you turn your car on, you have made toxins that are poisoning the Earth. Whenever you open your refrigerator or use bug spray, you…

Coursework 1- Carbon Fibre composites compared to traditional metallic properties Introduction Carbon fibre is a material made up of thin strips of crystalline filaments of carbon woven together to create a cloth or combined with a resin or ceramics to strengthen the material. Carbon fibre is now overtaking traditional metals in where it is being used and the reasons why will be discussed further on in the report (Happian-Smith 2001: 1). Carbon fibre composites have become the leading material…

Carbon monoxide is a gas with descriptive features being odorless and colorless gas that can be very fatal. Carbon monoxide can cause serious issues among the human body to the point where it can not consume more which either leads to an injury or a serious death. It is a very rapid death resulting from this gas it has maintained a nickname as the silent killer due to the feature of being odorless and colorless while being deadly. Even though it results in a fast death it would be very best to…

peaks that are present correspond to the functional groups in 6-ethoxycarbonyl-3,5-diphenyl-2-cyclohexenone. These functional groups are sp2 hybridized carbons at 3031 cm-1, sp3 hybridized carbons at 2981 cm-1, a carbonyl at 1735 cm-1, aromatic carbon-carbon stretching at 1660 cm-1, an ester carbon-oxygen stretching at 1144 cm-1, and alkene carbon-hydrogen stretching at 698 cm-1. There was no alcohol present in this spectra, indication that all of the catalyst was removed successfully. Also the…

The cause of climate change, as well as the existence of a major climate change, has been a hotly debated topic over the past decade. While there were many warnings from different members of the scientific community before 2006, nothing seemed to bring more attention to the debate from more walks of life, than the move "An Inconvenient Truth". This movie was so revolutionary that its creator, Al Gore Jr., with the help of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change would win the 2007 Nobel…

Global Warming: Problems and Solutions Global warming is defined as “a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth 's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, CFCs, and other pollutants.” by the Oxford Dictionary. This means that due to the effects of pollutants in the atmosphere the temperature of the earth is rising in a process called the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is what happens when solar radiation…
