Combustion, a chemical reaction between substances, usually including oxygen and usually accompanied by the generation of heat and light in the form of flame. The hydrocarbons become harder to ignite as the molecules get bigger. Combustion of alkanes with bigger molecule will produce more soot as the percentage of carbon of the molecule is higher. The amount of soot produced depends on the percentage of carbon in a hydrocarbon molecule. Hexane and cyclohexene produced very small of light soot…

This picture was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. The photo depicts a nebula with three towers of gaseous regions, hence the name; in a way, it is metaphorical. Fortunately, for the normal people in the world, there are no controversies that provoke unreasonable people. The article “Ways of Seeing”, by John Berger,…

Authors such as Al Martinez, Anais Nin, and Robinson Jeffers illustrate the disasters of fires to reflect the beauty of recreation from its destruction. As as result, a common understanding is established of accepting nature in it’s positives and…

own problems that they forget about the other problems in the world and have others do it for them. I think that Pollan has done a good job in convincing people that doing something to help the environment will help make a difference.
