1.0 Introduction The Daintree rainforest, a region located in tropical far north Queensland, is the biggest continuous rainforest in Australia (refer to figure 1 for location on map). Around 1,200 square kilometres in size, the Daintree rainforest is home to fast flowing streams and waterfalls to mountain ranges and dense rainforests, along with a variety of landscapes and a range of different and native flora and fauna. The forest is along the north coastline of the Daintree river, with…

Solventless Reactions: The Aldol Reaction CH204-01 Fadwa Mekkaoui Introduction: An aldol reaction is the formation of a new carbon-carbon bond by the addition of a nucleophile to an electron deficient carbon. The reaction is favorable in Green Chemistry. It demonstrates green principles such as using no solvent and having a high atom economy. In the lab a mixed aldol reaction was performed to synthesize an unsaturated ketone from and aldehyde and ketone. By using an aldehyde, that doesn’t…

the Most Important Element Alrecus What is Oxygen? Oxygen is one of the periodic table elements. Oxygen is also a gaseous chemical. Oxygen makes up more than twenty percent of the Earth's air. Oxygen is a dry and unscented. Oxygen is exceptionally receptive. Oxygen was found interestingly by a Swedish Chemist, Carl Wilhelm Scheele, in 1772. Joseph Priestly, an 112, freely, found oxygen in 1774 and distributed his discoveries that year, three years before Scheele distributed. Antoine Lavoisier,…

7. If during the experiment an air bubble leaked into the eudiometer tube while it was being inverted in the water bath than the measured volume of hydrogen gas would be off. Ultimately the measured volume of hydrogen gas would be too high because the gas being recorded would not only include hydrogen gas, but the air that leaked into the eudiometer as well. Because the volume of hydrogen gas would be too high the calculated molar volume of hydrogen would also be too high. This is because to…

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…

elements is Carbon (C). Carbon is essential for life and other important areas of the world. Carbon is a non-metal, that is in a solid state at room temperature. There are many different unique properties that help Carbon do what it needs to do. Carbon is the sixth most abundant element on Earth, and used in the daily lives as oil or coal. The origin of the name is Latin, coming from the word Carbo. Carbon was date discovered is not known specifically but has been known since ancient times.…

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…
