Silicon dioxide

create such exciting geysers? It is mostly caused by a process called nucleation, where the carbon dioxide in the soda is attracted to the Mentos. When this happens it creates so much pressure that the soda goes flying. So what speeds and slows down this reaction? Some scientists are saying the primary cause of diet coke and mentos geyser is a physical reaction, not a chemical reaction. All the carbon dioxide in the soda is squeezed into the liquid and looks for a way out. Nucleation sites can…

As you view slide #2, name three landforms that you see in the slide, which were caused by glacial erosion. Arête, Cirque, Horn 2. Explain how Pater Noster Lakes form. The lake is formed by carving out the valleys beds and a single stream flow from one end to the other. 3. Slide #9 shows a stream channel associated with an ice sheet. What is the name of the deposit left behind by this type of stream? The deposit that is left behind this stream is called alpine glacier. 4. What is the…

In this report I will analyze the process of fracking. Fracking is a process of drilling down into the earth before high-pressure water mixture is directed at the Rock to release the gas inside. After that is done water, sand and chemicals are injected into the Rock at high pressure which allows the gas to flow out to the head of the well. This process can be executed vertical and horizontally by drilling through the Rock layers. This allows new directional ways to release gases or used for…

Lithobates Sphenocephalus, commonly known as Southern Leopard Frog are a part of the Anura order of amphibians meaning “without tail,” and in the Ranidae family, also considered to be “true frogs” which are the most widely distributed family occurring on all continents with the exception of Antartica. The average size of Southern Leopard frogs is about 2-3 ½ inches. The Southern Leopard frog is native to the United States in the eastern region, and contains two subspecies currently: R. s.…

India, China has 16 of the most polluted cities in the world. Although both of these countries have an unequal distribution of pollution to population, they have some of the highest rates of pollution in the world. India has a low rate of carbon dioxide emissions per year, as well as a low projected rate.(Doc C) China has tried to find a renewable resource of energy, but they were unsuccessful. Aside from the fact that the automobile emissions make up the most pollution in both countries, China…

they have found evidence of pollution caused by the two essential commodities in our lives, plastic and burning fossil fuels. Environmentalists have found solutions to reduce the plastic waste in our ocean as well as attempting to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere…

“The Lorax” and the stories of Easter Island are alike even though one is based on true events and “The Lorax” is a kid’s story by Dr. Suess. Both of these stories involve someone that destroys their own environment and they don’t really care until it’s too late. Both stories show how easy an entire area can suffer if selfish people don’t care about the things around them and they are more worried about themselves. Everyone should care about their environment and do everything possible to…

The Human Rights Campaign represents a force of more than 1.5 million members and supporters nationwide. As the largest national lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer civil rights organization, HRC envisions a world where LGBTQ people are ensured of their basic equal rights, and can be open, honest and safe at home, at work and in the community. In my opinion, the human rights campaign is a critical part of America’s journey towards full equality. Often times, minorities, such as the…

Do mole ratios affect the amount of reactant that is produced? This experiment tested why mixing reactants in different mole ratios affected the amount of the product and the amount of each reactant that is left over. To solve the problem, the lab contained reacting sodium bicarbonate(baking soda) and acetic acid(vinegar) in different ratios and seeing if the product changed. The data suggests that the higher ratio of baking soda to vinegar creates the most product. For the ratio…

Throughout The Nature of College Farrell argues that the everyday life of a college student impacts the environment whether they know it or not. Things such as using the bathroom, washing your hair and taking a shower all play a part in effecting the environment. Taking a shower, for example, is something that we all do and we probably don’t stop to think about its impact on the world around us. When we take a shower we use approximately 3 gallons of water per minute and since I am pretty sure…
