Coral Reefs One of the world’s most species rich and bio diverse ecosystems are the tropical coral reefs. Emmysarus, a staff writer/ blogger for Scribol stated in their article “The World’s Most Endangered Ecosystems: Coral Reefs, “Unfortunately, areas which are home to the richest biodiversity often suffer from the greatest amount of damage and disruption”. These “rainforests of the sea” are home to thousands of species of fish and invertebrates that live among the hundreds of different and…
are the main food sources of calcium for the majority of people in the United States (6). For people like me, who don’t consume enough milk, yogurt, or cheese there are supplements available. The two main forms of calcium dietary supplements are carbonate and citrate (6). Vitamin B12 serves important roles throughout the body. It’s required for proper red blood cell formation, neurological function, and DNA synthesis (7). Vitamin b12 is recommended for vegans. Very low B12 intakes can cause…
preparation allowed for an observation that impacted the direction of my research. During sample degradation, unprompted, I recorded a chalky characteristic present in a small number of samples. The chalky quality was determined to be calcium carbonate indicative of warm water. This observation altered my initial charter from researching land temperatures to focusing on ocean temperatures. My research experience was gratifying and confirmed my decision to major in…
affects forests by leaving trees vulnerable to disease, extreme weather and insects through the destruction of leaves, bark and halting growth. Acid rain can damage structures such as buildings and statues, especially those that contain calcium carbonate, such as limestone. The acid reacts with the calcium compounds, creating gypsum which comes off. Acid rain causes metals such as iron and bronze to have an increased corrosion rate. This all leads to structures being more susceptible to decay…
called wort. Flavoring (if desired) is added and the wort is cooled. Yeast is then added to being the conversion of sugar to ethanol and carbon dioxide. And lastly, after most or all of the sugar is converted, fresh yeast and sugar are added to carbonate the beer in a sealed container. But brewing beer is more than just mixing the right amount of each ingredient; a complex series of reactions must take place for consumable…
INTRODUCTION Lead is a bluish grey metal ,which is one of the useful and common metal that has been used by humans for over 6000 years1 it has high density ,ductility, poor electrical conductivity and more over which is soft and highly malleable in nature. these all properties were helping the early extraction and working with lead and makes it more popular among industrial and other mankind usages all over the world . Several millions of lead are consumed by world for the production of…
A sample of this reaction mixture (100 μL) was added to dichloromethane (0.5 mL). Potassium carbonate (5 mL, 5 mmol) was added to the rest of the reaction mixture which was then placed in the sonication bath. A sample of the dichloromethane layer (100 μL) was extracted out every 8 minutes and added to dichloromethane (0.5 mL) until the 32nd minute…
compound and two waters. There is a displacement reaction with copper (II) chloride as well. The weaker acid left over will be forced out by the strong acid in the balanced chemical equation. The reaction includes new compounds including copper carbonate (CuCO3) and…
Case study of X-ray imaging with grating interferometer on pearls Abstract- With the increase of fraudulent conduct in the field of jewellery there has been increase in the demand for inspection to identify the purity of the product. In this case study X-Ray Radiography is used to identify natural pearls and artificially cultured pearls. In order to understand the internal structure a personalized grating interferometer and inspection has been performed to obtain measurements. The computed…
turbidity also reduces the amount of light that can penetrate the water, which reduces photosynthesis and the production of DO. Based on Wetzel and Likens (2000), turbidity in water is caused by suspended inorganic and organic matter with clay, slit, carbonate particles, fine organic matter, some plankton and small organism. Most of the organic matter in lakes is in the dissolved form. The suspended matter caused the light scattered and absorbed rather than transmitted. Turbidity of water also…
