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…

Assignment 7 Power Station Emission Aim: The aim of this experiment is to measure the mass of sulphur dioxide in 1m3 of flue gas (waste gas from burning fossil fuels in a power station). To achieve this aim, titration of an unknown solution of sulphuric acid (around 0.2-0.4 mol) and sodium carbonate (0.2 mol) using methyl orange as an indicator. 1. Introduction Fossil fuel is formed from decayed plants and animals that have been converted to crude…

marijuana pipes, bongs, and vaporizers. Just like cigarettes, marijuana smoke has plenty of hazardous elements that can destroy your respiratory system. These include polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that are suspected to cause cancer. These toxins are the byproducts of combustion or burning. Studies have shown that patients who rely on medical marijuana can stay away from these problems by utilizing a vaporizer. In vaporization, the active elements of marijuana are released or turned…

Carbohydrates have the following basic composition. They are molecular compounds made from three elements: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Monosaccharides are simple sugars with multiple OH groups. Based on number of carbons 3, 4, 5, 6, a monosaccharide is a triose, tetrose, pentose or hexose respectively. Disaccharides are condensation products of two monosaccharide units; examples are maltose and sucrose. A disaccharide is 2 monosaccharides covalently linked molecule. Polysaccharides are polymers…

formation of five-carbon isoprene molecular units, and finally to the formation of a seventeen-carbon tetracyclic hydrocarbon, the steroid skeleton. The fused six membered cyclohexane rings each have the chair conformation . Each member of the steroid family has a structure that differs from this basic skeleton in the degrees of unsaturation within the ring system and the identities of the hydrocarbon side chain substituents attached to the rings. These substituents are in most cases oxidized to…

Autoxidation of fatty acids consists of three main phases- initiation, propagation and termination. 4 Initiation In this phase fatty acid free radical1 (R•)2 and free hydrogen radical (H•) are formed by homolytic cleavage of the covalent bond, CH, of the hydrocarbon chain, usually under high temperature, presence of light or catalysts. RH!R• + H• Propagation Since fatty acid free radical is very reactive, therefore it easily reacts with an oxygen molecule (O2) to form peroxyl radical (ROO•).…

Alberta is a world-leading energy supplier and exporter of heavy oil for the production of fuel. Gasoline is derived from the distillation of heavy oil and while this resource presents as advantageous for the human population, the displacement of used petroleum into the natural environment has been revealed to be the largest contributor to the pollution in and the destruction of aquatic ecosystems (Ramadass et al. 2014). In this case, gasoline is considered a contaminant or an unwanted substance…

Element project (Br) Whats bromine? bromine (Br) is a deep red, noxious liquid, and a member of the halogen elements, or Group 17 group vlla of the periodic table. It has an atomic number of 35. What you will soon find out by my paper is how it's used in everyday life, how it's produced and its physical properties. Bromine was discovered in 1826 by the French chemist Antoine-Jérôme Balard in the residues from the manufacture of sea salt at Montpellier. He liberated the element by passing…

all different kinds of coal produce CO2 when burned. Coal energy quality varies based upon where it is mined. Some coals can produce more energy than others. Gasoline: C8H18 is the chemical formula of gasoline, which like coal is a mixture of hydrocarbons. There is no fixed melting point of gasoline although it is considered around…
