Question 4 A tank farm at a local chemical distribution facility is leaking and is contaminating the groundwater, causing a concentration directly beneath the site of 15.0 milligrams per liter (mg/L). The groundwater is flowing at the rate of 0.20 meters per day toward a public drinking water well one kilometer away. Preliminary measurements indicate that the chemical is subject to degradation in the aquifer with a half -life of 10 years. It also appears that there is a retardation factor in…
1. Diagram an individual phospholipid and a bilayer of phospholipids. Label the hydrophilic head, and hydrophobic tails in both. 2. Explain the Fluid Mosaic model of the cell membrane and describe the functions of the proteins that are embedded in the membrane. The Fluid Mosaic model of the cell membrane is a hypothesis that describes the phospholipid bilayer and it proteins. It states that the membrane is flexible - fluid - and has various proteins embedded in it - a mosaic. These structures…
chemicals with an acidic pH level are taken out of the atmosphere through precipitation. When we pollute the air by burning fossil fuels, we create different chemicals that end up in our atmosphere. A few of these have chemical reactions with the water in clouds, and form (depending on the chemical) sulfurous and nitrous acids. When it rains, this acid is taken back to the ground. While pure water has a neutral pH level of 7, even unpolluted water will have an acidic pH level of 5.6 due to…
quality parameters and pH value:- 3.2.1. Chemical quality properties, pH values and total plate count (TPC):- Total volatile basic -nitrogen (TVB-N), the peroxide value (PV), pH and total plate count (TPC) are good index to determine the freshness and quality of fishes and their products. Data presented in Table (4) show the values of TVB-N, PV, pH and total…
Characteristics Table 4 gives the information about the experiments that involved chemical performances in both lakes. By trying the solutions and comparing the results that students got form then lakes, it was demonstrated that Lake Evelyn had the highest pH and second place in alkalinity. Because of these two factors, Lake Evelyn and the highest strength of 220 mg / L. Wakefield demonstrated any phosphoric level, which confirms the value of TSI that predicts that is a eutrophic lake. Either…
Brønsted–Lowry Left hand side: Johannes Nicolaus Brønsted (1879 - 1947) Right hand side: Thomas Martin Lowry (1874 - 1936) THEORY An acid is a proton (H+) donor A base is a proton (H+) acceptor EXPLANATION OF THE THEORY: Acids are proton donors and bases are proton acceptors. A hydrogen ion is the same thing as a proton since hydrogen consists of a proton and an electron. When hydrogen loses an electron all that is left is a proton. According to the Brønsted-Lowry theory of acids and…
to break a beaker with a pH 9 solution. First, once a spill occurs, ensure everyone (especially the lab instructor/advisor) around the area or in the lab knows about the occurrence. Second, it would be best to make sure that you have not been contaminated with the chemical, meaning that you should take care of yourself by washing the affected areas. Third, once your hands are dry, you should then make an effort to neutralize the solution of pH 9 as close as possible to pH 7 and remove all…
The human body is born with over two hundred fifty bones, as the body ages the bones fuse together into over two hundred bones. These bones can vary in structure and all have multiple functions depending on the location and purpose. Long bones may be positioned with other bones as a ball and socket, while flat bones can act as hard plates like the skull which acts as a case for the brain. Our nerves send messages throughout the body to do everyday functions such as walking, talking, and…
bioavailability. This required the use of normal aspirin tablets, aspirin tablets with sodium bicarbonate, soluble aspirin, and enteric coated aspirin. Depending on which group the students were allocated they administered different formulations of aspirin. The pH and the concentration of salicylate in each urine sample, collected at different time points, was determined after administering the drug. A standard curve for salicylate was generated to calculate its concentration in each urine…
detergents and pH values. INTRODUCTION: Primary protein structure is sequence of chain of amino acids. Secondary protein structure is a regularly occurring structure and is mainly formed when a sequence of amino acids are linked between by hydrogen bonds. There are two types of stable secondary structures, the alpha helices…
