where mCO2 is the mass fraction of CO2 in the solution, and MWsolution, MWbrine, and MWCO2 are the molecular weight of the solution, of the brine, and of CO2, respectively. Considering the definition of density as shown on 5.5, equation 5.3 can be modified to equation 5.6. ρ_CO2=MW_CO2/V_CO2 (5.5) "1" /"ρ" _" solution" =("1-" "m" _"CO2" )/"ρ" _" brine" "+" "m" _"CO2" /〖"ρ" _"CO2" 〗_" " (5.6) where ρ solution and ρ brine are density of solution and brine, MW CO2 and ρm CO2 is…

Acid forming elements are chlorine, phosphorus, and sulfur (different from alkaline-forming elements). These elements are the primary element in foods containing moderate to large amounts of protein (except for milk and a few other dairy products). I decided on using peanut oil because peanuts yield an acid, thus they contain acid-ash. Acid-ash residue is inorganic radicals that form acid ions in the body, causing lower pH making the urine more acidic. Acid urine favors the excretion of kidney…

food, days without water but only moments without oxygen. It takes no conscious effort on our part to succeed in breathing and it is the first thing we do when we enter this world and the last thing we do prior to our departure. Our breath seems like such a simple thing but as we grow into adults most of us lose our ability to breathe as our bodies would have us do.…

chloroplasts and together with carbon dioxide and water, it is turned into glucose and oxygen. The glucose eventually gets used as energy for the plant to live and the oxygen is a waste product that is released. The oxygen is used by humans during cellular respiration. Photosynthesis began over 2 billion years ago when an organism first learned to make its own food and excrete oxygen. This caused too much oxygen in the atmosphere and many organisms could not tolerate this. However, this…

The objective of this experiment was to study the stereochemistry of the borohydride reduction of camphor. Sodium Borohydride is a reducing agent that is able to reduce ketones and aldehydes. In this case, camphor, which contains a ketone, was reduced with sodium borohydride. Reduction of a carbonyl with sodium borohydride occurs when the hydride ion adds to the carbonyl carbon, breaking the C=O bond and creating a new C-H bond. When the reduction occurs, the hydride transfer will occur on the…

Emissions any substances that are released into air from natural or human sources. This may include flow of gases, liquid droplets, as well as solid particles. It is important to understand that not all emissions are pollutants, even though they may cause significant health and environmental problems. The United States as well as China has faced significant emissions across the countries, which has led to various problems and challenges (Paulot et al., 2014). Transportation: Basically, about 27%…

Totally different from the water’s cycle, the Carbon cycle was more about chemical elements in the ecosystem-atmosphere. Before diving into the subject, to refresh my memory I went back to read book and article to have a good understanding of this cycle. As asserted by Holli Riebeek, carbon is the backbone of life on Earth and mostly all terrestrial beings are made of carbon. Also, carbon was also the fourth largest element in the universe, forged in the heart of dying stars. An article…

Liquid ventilation (LV) is a form of mechanical ventilation in which the lungs are insufflated with an oxygen-rich liquid, such as perfluorocarbon, rather an oxygen-rich gas mixture (1). There are two primary types of liquid-assisted ventilation: total liquid ventilation and partial liquid ventilation. In total liquid ventilation, the lungs are filled with perfluorocarbon to a volume equivalent to the lung’s functional residual capacity and a liquid ventilator is used to generate tidal breathing…

I am writing to you because of the air pollution problem we have in Utah. Air pollution affects health issues, especially in older, people, babies and people with lung disease. Lung disease is a huge problem because of how polluted the air is in Utah. In fact, we are the 7th most air polluted city in the nation. Two main reasons why Utah air is so bad because of business and vehicle. Our trucks and cars are a major contributor to the air pollution because it is creating more carbon dioxide and…

Introduction Actual rocket ships use chemical reactions to lift off into space. Using baking soda and vinegar we can simulate a rocket taking off because when mixed together, a chemical reaction occurs. By changing the amounts of the chemicals we can determine which will allow the bottle rocket to go farther. Chemical Reaction Vinegar is an acetic acid. When an acetic acid and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) are mixed together, three new chemicals are formed, Water (H2O), carbon dioxide (co2),…
