Attempting to establish a colony on Mars is a costly and research intensive endeavour. It will take a very special group of people to travel to Mars and spend their whole lives there. These volunteers will need to be very well trained. It will also take a lot of resources to sustain this colony, especially in its early days. If the target of 2025, which is only eleven years away, is to be met, a very large expenditure will need to be made on research due to our very limited understanding of how…

turning on the hot tap when they want cold water and vice versa. If you make a mistake when dealing with natural gas or LPG, the repercussions will be a lot more serious. A large explosion is one possible result. Another possible outcome is carbon monoxide poisoning. Even those non-professionals who have successfully done gas plumbing work in the past may have not suffered any consequences yet only due to exceptional circumstances, which…

THE DIMENSIONS OF POLLUTIONS AND RESOURCES DEPLETION. ABSTRACT In this topic we will look at the dimensions of pollution and resources depletion. For pollution we will get to know the definition of pollution. Rather than that, we will know each types of pollution and each definition of this. Then we will look further into the cause, effect and solution for each pollution in this topic. Lastly we will discuss about the resources depletion effect occur by human activity.

The first two elements in the poisoner’s corridor, cadmium and thallium, are potentially lethal to humans, as evidenced by both the itai itai cadmium poisoning epidemic, and CIA’s assassination plans using thallium. The last two elements in that corridor, thorium and americium, are radioactively poisonous.. Bismuth serves as a meeting point between these two types of killer elements. Yet, instead of being…

Esterification is a Nucleophilic Acyl Substitution Reaction wherein a carboxylic acid or a derivative of a carboxylic acid accepts a nucleophile which in turns substitutes for a leaving group. In esterification a leaving group connected to the carbonyl carbon is substituted by an alkoxide ion which forms the formula RCOOR’ which is an ester. For this particular experiment the esterification used was the Fischer esterification reaction which involves a carboxylic acid and an alcohol mixed in…
