Greenhouse Gas Pollution in the United States Whether we like it or not greenhouse gas pollution is inevitably increasing in the United States; negatively affecting all of our daily lives. How many American citizens drive a car? Roughly 34 percent of the nation’s households own at least one car, and every-time a person drives it releases about 24 pounds of Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere. That is just one example of greenhouse gas pollution, and there are an innumerable amount of other…

to extract gas. Shale gas is abundant in the United States, which could mean energy independence. The amount of natural gas in the United States is equivalent to two amounts of oil in Saudi Arabia's. However, this process raises concerns, health concerns in particular. The luxury of drinking water out of the tap has been taken away from communities where fracking has hit. The economic benefits of fracking do not outweigh the health consequences communities may face. Fracking for shale gas may…

NTRODUCTION In this experiment the validity of Gas Laws were observed and the relationship of two variables, temperature and volume, against pressure was tested. Gas Laws are encompassed by the Ideal Gas Law in which PV=nRT observes the general behavior of a gas under ideal conditions in terms of pressure(P), volume(V), moles of gas(n), gas constant(R), and temperature(T). The Ideal Gas Law is a combination of Boyle 's Law, Charles ' Law and Avogadro 's Law and was first introduced in 1834 by…

Gas Hydrates are a crystalline solid formed of water and gas, the gas is mostly methane. It looks and acts much like ice. It is important to study gas hydrate because it is a potential source of energy for human survival in the future as there is a critical need for a cleaner and viable source of energy (Sun et al., 2011). .It was earlier speculated that gas hydrate is only found in space but later research showed that it can be found on almost every continent on the earth (Mongillo, 2011). Gas…

) The greenhouse gas effect is when sunlight warms the earth some of it is consumed which warms the ground and is reflected once again into space. The land and seas consume whatever remains of the sun’s energy. When the heat goes back towards space some of the heat is caught by greenhouse gasses in the air, making the earth temperature rise. Greenhouses gasses in the air absorb the heat and afterward divert some of this warmth back towards the Earth which means that the more greenhouse gasses in…

However, natural gas is not a renewable or sustainable resource either. It also emits a decent amount of emissions. “Natural gas is composed primarily of methane (CH4) – a very potent greenhouse gas. During various steps of natural gas extraction, transportation, and processing, methane is released to the atmosphere” (“Natural Gas” n.d.). While most people focus on carbon dioxide when it comes to global warming and emissions, methane is actually “the second largest overall human generated…

separation method used to help identify mixtures. One common form of chromatography is gas chromatography. This type of chromatography will usually use a gas as the mobile phase, and a liquid as the stationary phase (“Gas Chromatography”). A gas chromatograph is comprised of some vital components, which include: the carrier gas, flow controller, injector port, column, column oven, detector, and recorder (“Gas Chromatography”). The purpose of this lab was for an unknown accelerant to be…

determined by using several methods. A flask will be filled to its max capacity and then filled with that gas. After that, the ideal gas law will be used to find mm (the molecular mass of a substance). The equation will be changed to mm=gRT/PV instead of the usual PV=nRT. There are several gas laws exhibited in this experiment. Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures allows us to determine the pressure of the gas by subtracting the water vapor pressure from the total pressure of the flask. The total…

The Noble Gas Equations By: Andy Jiang There is a pattern in the atomic numbers of Noble Gasses. The atomic of Noble Gasses aren't arbitrary or random. They have beautiful equations, which I have derived, that gives the atomic number of a Noble Gas based on what period it is in. Theoretically, my equations can work beyond the 7th period. The fact that there is an underlying pattern among the atomic number of Noble Gasses, something seemingly arbitrary, is a property of our mathematical,…

In the past there was no knowledge of what natural gas is, it was a mystery to man. Occasionally, gas would escaping from under the earth’s crust and when a lightning strike reached the gas, it would ignite the natural gas, creating a fire (Natural Gas.org). This was puzzling to early civilizations, which lead to myths and superstitions (Natural Gas.org). In ancient Greece on Mount Parnassus around 1000 B.C., a goat herdsman stumbled across a “burning spring” rising from a fissure in a rock…
