Nitrogen cycle

learn more about this chemical that is important in future career. Some general information about Ammonia is the chemical formula, molecular weight, availability, characteristics and health concerns. The chemical formula is three hydrogen and one nitrogen ("Ammonia."). The molecular weight is 17.0305 grams per mole. Also, it can be produced commercially and in nature ("Ammonia."). Ammonia has a few distinctive characteristics such as it has a sharp odor, usually clear and most commonly found in…

effluent, or out-flowing, water is pumped out to Beaver Run, which then feeds into Tinker’s Creek, which then empties out into the Cuyahoga River, which goes to Lake Erie. The remaining amount of B.O.D. is .61 ppm. The remaining amount of Ammonia (Nitrogen) left is .07 ppm, a drastic decrease. The amount of phosphorous left was .49 ppm. Trace amounts of mercury, copper, and lead are still left, but not enough to harm…

of the earliest items to be referred as a fire chemical component. The gun powder components are known to be all reactive products which cause the reaction of an explosion. Nitro compounds are highly reactant and is stabled by a molecule which is nitrogen. The molecules which nitro compounds obtain do not bond together which makes the nitro compound explosive since there is no boding whatsoever. When nitro compounds were used they were specifically made for gunnery in wars. If nitro compounds…

E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company was the first company to manufacture domestic supply of high quality gunpowder .In 1802, the DuPont family began their industrial business in the United States by building the Eleutherian Mills on the Brandywine Creek in Delaware. This was the beginning of an extensive scale gunpowder production in the United States. Guncotton, also known as nitrocellulose, was invented in 1845 by German chemist Christian Schonbein. The purpose of this invention as to create…

Did you know that at one point, the United States had a fear that they would run out of natural gas? Roughly a decade ago, industry analysts and government officials became worried that the United States would run out of natural gas, a source of energy in the states. A solution to this predicted problem would become hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking. Developed more than sixty years ago by George P. Mitchell, fracking is the process of pumping millions of gallons of chemically treated…

pollution is the consistency of particle in the air that are harmful to humans, animals, and plants, and often times buildings (Rutledge, et al., 2011). With these pollutants in the air, they act as the beginning of a chain of effects that occur in our cycle of life. Air pollution in the 21st century is becoming greater each day as man-made technology distributes harmful gasses and chemicals that are circulated through our ecosystem. While our technology increases and the methods of burning…

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…

ABSTRACT Current response of ascorbic acid-stabilized copper (Cu) single nanoparticles (NPs) collision on gold (Au) ultramicroelectrode (UME) surface was observed by the electrocatalytic amplification method. When the applied potential to the UME was 0.4 V, blip (or spike) response of current, which is responsible for the self-oxidation of Cu NP, was obtained. When the applied potential was over 0.5 V, the blip response combined with staircase response was obtained. The blip part indicates the…

A 2010 survey of 14 industrialized countries found that skepticism about the danger of global warming was highest in Australia, Norway, New Zeeland and the United States, in that order, correlating with high per capita emission of carbon dioxide(Wikipedia). Furthermore there are so many ways society is damaging the ecosystem, some of these issues are brought upon by nature, but the majority of them are caused by man-made pollutants. One issue that is becoming large scale is global warming.…

The removal of carbon dioxide in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) has been an important topic of research due to the increasing amount of recirculating aquaculture systems being employed in the aquaculture industry. Carbon dioxide, as well as ammonia, are excreted by the fish and can be present in high quantities. Elevated levels of CO2 accumulation within the recirculating water could have toxic effects on fish. The maximum level of CO2 and ammonia that can be present in the tanks…
