Zinc is a naturally-existing metal that can be found throughout the world. The material is common enough to be found in organic matter, not just rocks and soil as other metal ores. Zinc is used in agriculture to fertilize land to increase harvests. Zinc is mined throughout the world, with the extraction procedures primarily used that avoid strip mining. Thus, it minimizes the environmental damage typically caused by the mining and extraction methods practiced for other metals. In this regard,…
world. Edison’s battery “attracted the attention on the United States Navy”(Adair-121), and the batteries were used to store energy needed for running ships. Edison also created a device that could separate iron from unusable iron ores. This was very helpful because instead of wasting the iron he was able to turn it into something that was useable. Edison also had a huge impact on the way people were elected into office. Edison created a device to improve voting, “the device was made the…

1.0) The Ellingham Diagram 1.1) Introduction The Gibbs free energy (∆G) of a reaction is defined as the measure of the thermodynamic force that drives a reaction to occur. When ∆G is positive, it indicates that a reaction will not occur spontaneously while when ∆G is negative, the reaction is spontaneous. The Gibbs free energy equation is given by : ∆G = ∆H –T∆S ∆H refers to the enthalpy and is a measure of the actual energy that is released when the reaction occurs. A negative…
