Chapter 2 LITERATURE SURVEY 2.1. Characteristics of Hydrogen Sulphide 2.1.1. Physical and Chemical Properties H2S is a colourless gas characterised by a rotten gas odour which is highly toxic. It is soluble in different liquids including water and alcohols. It is typically formed under deficit oxygen conditions in the presence of organic matter and sulphate compounds (WHO, 2003). Hydrogen Sulphide is also present in the atmosphere in the range of 0.0001-0.0002 ppm though it may vary with places…

Introduction: It all started from a dream of John F. Kennedy in 1962. His dream was to put a person on the moon. He called it eponymous moonshot. At that time, Kennedy’s dream seemed impossible, but everything great starts from a great belief. Astro Teller, a captain of The Moonshot factory, and Sergey Brin, a co-founder of Google, are followers of Kennedy’s dream. In 2007, they opened a subsidiary «Google X» to boost innovations. After October 2015, X operated under Alphabet Inc. X…

Codenamed the “Manhattan Project,” the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War 2 was the single-biggest military construction project in history (The Atomic Bombings, n.d.). Responsible for approximately 200,000 casualties, the atomic bomb left a path of total destruction and devastation in these two major Japanese cities (The Atomic Bombings, n.d.). It was the only time nuclear weapons had been used on civilization, which gave us a true idea of what the effects…

What would you choose? Would you be willing to reap the benefits of economic prosperity for your morals? Europeans and many leading countries have had to choose between their morals or capitalism. Whether the choice is between forced manual labor, or displacing people from their homes, a ruler or conqueror has to make a decision. Unfortunately, in many cases these leaders choose wrong and opt for economic prosperity over the well beings of others. Torture, rape, pillage, and murder have all…

BRADEY HEATHFIELD CLASS 11 PROJECT. JANUARY 2015 THE HISTORY OF HOT AIR BALLOONS Hot air balloons date back to Zhuge Liang of the Shu Han kingdom (220-280AD) in China. These were used for signaling in the military and are known as Kongming lanterns. Albert’s Magnus who was a German philosopher also contributed with his theory of relative weights. In the 1500s Giovanni de Fontana made a object from cloth and rings of wood. His theory was if a burning brand that made lots of smoke was placed…

Geo-engineers have discovered that if they put sulfates into the stratosphere, the temperatures in the lower atmosphere would lower and climate change would be reversed. By using geo-engineering, the symptoms of climate change would be remedied rather than the causes. However, geo-engineering is a last resort due to its…

global warming with technology such as bioenergy and carbon capture and storage (BECCS), and of climate geoengineering (Creutzig et al. 2015; Irvine et al. 2010). Geoengineering applications of albedo enhancing solar radiation (for example: low – stratosphere cloud brightening) and sulhpur oxide injection is not notably popular or predominant in science-policy dialogue due to low government funding and negative ecological effects attributed to most initiatives (Crutzen 2006; Irvine et al.…

In this year’s thanksgiving weekend, my family decided to buy a car for my brother since he accepted a job offer in northern Virginia and he needs a car to go there every day. When we started looking for a car, we saw lots of different cars of different brands or different countries cars. Finally, we chose Honda Civic 2015 EX because of its features and great quality of engine and transmission which was manufactured in Japan. I had more choices to choose from and it’s possible because of…

During the early nineteenth century, generations of immigrant women undergo assimilation to unite themselves in American customs. The ideology that they will be accepted into a society that does not suppress their gender identity has driven them to this process but they blindly forget their origin culture. America’s “opportunities” is proved an illusion when the “American Dream” influences many foreigners to reevaluate their lives and social standings upon arrival. The illusion of upward…

This is one way in which energy is transferred between organisms in an ecosystem. The energy is used for a number of life processes. In a food chain only around 10 per cent of the energy is passed on to the next level. The rest of the energy passes out of the food chain in a number of ways: 1. via heat energy 2. is used for life processes (for example movement) 3. uneaten parts that pass to decomposers 4. is excreted and passes to decomposers. As less energy is transferred at each level…
