The connection between the foods we eat and our health is undeniable. In order to make healthier and more sustainable food choices, I conducted a two-days experiment to record and keep track of everything I ate. Through the experiment, I am able to examine how much I eat of a certain type of food and how could I improve my eating habits with healthier food choices that I can actually incorporate in my everyday life. To maintain a healthy body weight and optimize the energy level, I know a male…

Is the environmental impact of lithium ion batteries worth the gain that we recieve from them as energy storage devices. This issue includes the impacts of mining, producing and dumping of the product which includes the mining of metals like nickel, cobalt and lithium. Batteries are often dumped in landfills and not recycled, recycling batteries can greatly reduce the environmental impact in most cases. The mining of lithium has a negative impact on the environment it is found in and so if there…

environment for many calcifying species. These species, such as oysters and clams, can not survive in the acidic environment, which affects the food chain and the overall marine ecosystem. Ocean acidification also affects corals ability to produce their carbonate skeletons, and it is projected that as the amount of CO2 in the oceans increase, many coral reefs may be gone by the turn of the century.…

malachite, verdigris and vermilion. Ultramarine is a deep blue pigment which was originally made by grinding lapis lazuli(deep blue stone) into a powder. Lead-tin-yellow is a yellow pigment also known as "Yellow of Old Masters". Malachite is a copper carbonate hydroxide mineral. Verdigris is a green pigment made through a process which that occurs when copper, brass, or bronze, is exposed to air over a period of time.Vermilion is a red pigment made from a powdered mineral called cinnabar. A…

understand different uses of the technique. A Russian botanist invented chromatography to separate and distinguish plant pigment. Mikhail Semenovich Tsvett trickled a mixture of dissolved pigments through a glass tube filled with a tight calcium carbonate…

between the relative quantities of substances taking part in a reaction or forming a compound, typically a ratio of whole integers. In the lab that I did with my group we used stoichiometry to find out the decomposition of sodium biocarbonate. Sodium carbonate is just another name for baking soda, and that is what we used on our lab. Baking soda is also used in some food items, such as pancakes, waffles etc… When the baking soda is being heated the decompositon part occurrs and when this happens…

was kohl which is the same as kajal in the Indian culture. It was used on the waterline and around the eye made of a substance called galena (dark grey ore of lead). The other was known as malachite. Malachite is a green eye paint made of a green carbonate of copper. Malachite was used in the early Predynastic period. During the late Predynastic period facial makeup included stain for lips and cheeks that was produced from red ochre. The naturally colored clay was minded, washed then dried in…

One of the most widely studied mitigation options for reducing concentration of CO2 in atmosphere involves injecting it into the ocean at great depths, where the gaseous CO2 reacts to form carbonic acid (H2CO3) as shown in equation (2.1). This equation shows various forms of CO2 as it is dissolved in the water (brine). Depending on the pH of the solution, either forms of CO2 may be observed (CO2 (aq), 〖"HCO" 〗_"3" ^"-" , 〖"CO" 〗_"3" ^"2-" ). There are two ways for storing CO2 in ocean, either…

Marine Pollution: Causes There are many observable attributes in which we can classify the various types of marine pollution. Marine Pollution is a major setback and not only hampers the marine species but also is passed on to the land animals as well. Sea water covers around 2/3rd of the planet, which plays an important role in maintaining the essential biological and ecological balance. There has been increasing amount and the various kinds of waste products which originates from expanding…

Controlling Carbon Dioxide Emissions Although Carbon is a very scarce element –it is less than one percent of the total composition of elements on Earth-, it forms an essential component of organic matter. It is able to live in all of the different spheres of the earth (in different forms). We need carbon to survive, but in some ways it can be very harmful. Due to that fact, many people are trying to control the amount of carbon dioxide emissions. Many have tried finding out ways to…
