SHOULD WATER CHLORINATION BE BANNED? The recorded deaths due to waterborne diseases have demonstrated that water treatment is critical. Thus, methods like water chlorination have been developed to achieve water quality. This procedure has exhibited notable decreases in diarrhoeal diseases, and has shown prolonged disinfecting effects on many microorganisms when used with ammonia. However, there exists protozoa that are resistant to chlorination, and such spores have led to outbreaks that…

My Element is the Most Important Element (Argon) •Atomic mass 39.948 •Atomic Number -18 •Gas at 298 K •Density-0.0017837 grams per cubic centimeter •Third Noble gas •Chemical Symbol-Ar •It is also obtained from the air as a byproduct of the production of oxygen and nitrogen •It is the third most atmospheric gas •Argon is colorless and odorless •Argon is non reactive and has no effect on living organisms •Makes up 1% of the air around •Argon is found in the earth’s crust…

There are many spectacular events that happen in the universe. Some events are as common and simple as a sunrise in the morning or the northern lights dancing across the night sky. Other events are less common and hold a beautiful mystic to them like a comet streaking across the sky. Of all the magnificence spectacles that occur in the universe, there are not many that equal the power or beauty of a supernova. Supernovas occur at the end of the star’s life cycle as the star depletes its fuel.…

The objective of this investigation was to separate a dry mixture based on its physical properties. The iron was separated using a magnet and the salt was removed because it was soluble in water, while the remaining sand was not. The mixture in its tray weighed 51.61 grams. The container weighed 2.51 grams, so the mixture alone weighed 49.10 grams. Running a magnet over the mixture successfully removed the iron. It was determined that the more surface area a mixture was spread over, the more…

metamorphosis is slowed, and the mortality rate rises. [7] The chemical reaction process of the acid generation can be described using a common sulfide mineral, Pyrite (FeS2). The oxidation of FeS2 breaks down into three components, iron, sulfate, and hydrogen as seen below: FeS_2+7/2 O_2+H_2 O→Fe^(2+)+2SO_4^(2-)+2H^+ 1/2(1) These three dissolved compounds raise the acidity of the water and decrease the pH, unless neutralized. The ferrous iron, provided enough oxygen, will oxidize to ferric…

Lots of American farmers found themselves unable to make enough money to support their families. One of the main ingredients of Moonshine is corn. A farmer could take a subpar corn farm and turn it into a goldmine. Obviously the Government did not approve of this practice. There are a couple good reasons for the Government to oppose this practice. With underground Moonshine sales growing they were losing a large amount of tax revenue; secondly, there was no way to regulate production, and…

correct way of going about this is having water attack the molecule. After attaching the HSO4 to the molecule, they would break off a bisulfate ion (HSO3-) leaving a negative oxygen on the product molecule. Then the students drew the oxygen taking a hydrogen from water or a new sulfuric acid molecule. The issue with this is that breaking the bond between a sulfur and an oxygen would be impossible under those conditions because that bond is too strong to break. Although this would be…

Haber Process” it is responsible for the production of the compound ammonia; which is accountable for the world’s consumption of natural gas (BBC, 2014). The Haber process is the method of synthesizing the compound of ammonia which is produced from Hydrogen (H2) and Nitrogen (N2) gas (Sinha, 2014). In 1909 a German named Fritz Haber developed the compound of ammonia, thus The “Haber” process was named after the physical chemist (AUS-e-TUTE, 2014). In 1918 Fritz Haber received the Nobel Prize…

The third shell usually holds eight electrons as well, but can hold up to eighteen in specific circumstances. The number of electrons in the outermost shell of an atom is the same as its group number. In other words, hydrogen has one electron in its outer shell and is in Group I, carbon has four electrons in its outer shell and is in Group IV, and so on. Elements with the same number of electrons in their outer shell have similar chemical properties. Isotopes Neutral…

Nature is derived from our understanding to what has already been here before us. Nature can be the plants, animals, land, and other sights or creations of the planet Earth. Just look at our community that has natural things that have already been there. When I go to an area that I believe to be nature, I go to the Greenway Park; specifically an area by the Arboretum here in our town of Yakima, WA. This particular area is nature to me because of all the things born here, not put here by humans.…
