Now for all this history there are certainly important leaders of chemistry that need to be given some credit. First there is Jābir ibn Hayyān who is also known as Gerber. He was a chemist from the eighth century AD. Geber became one of the first people to use scientific methods to study and experiment. Through his experiments and studies he is thought to have discovered hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, and nitric acid. He also discovered what is now called Aqua Regia, which is an acid that is…

Nuclear Energy Nuclear energy is energy stored in the bonds holding protons and neutrons together in an atom 's nucleus, when split the broken bon releases an enormous amount of energy—nuclear fission, according to Nuclear Energy. Nuclear energy has been a global energy alternative source for nearly half a century. Its predecessor, nuclear power, developed for military use in World War II became the biggest fear during the Cold War. After the Cold War, international use of nuclear weapons were…

Uranium is the 48th most natural abundant element. It is 40 times more abundant than silver. Every human has around .0001 milligrams of uranium in their body. It is believed the Earth’s internal heat is caused by uranium and thorium reacting. It cost 13 cents for 1 gram of uranium. It also cost $100 for 1 kilogram of uranium. To create energy you can use the element uranium. When uranium was used it changed the way of warfare. Over the years scientists have made new discoveries…

Nuclear Energy Should Nuclear energy be the primary source of electricity around the world? This has been a much debated topic for years. Though there are several countries that have taken the step to use nuclear energy, many haven’t including Australia. There are many positives, including the fact that Nuclear energy is clean and it also reduces Co2 that is released by fossil fuel, the nuclear reactors cost relatively low to operate and nuclear energy can save many lives in the long run. There…

role for setting up the cost of electricity of geothermal systems. 1.3 TYPES OF GEOTHERMAL RESOURCES Geothermal energy comes from the natural generation of heat mainly due to the decay of the naturally occurring radioactive isotopes of potassium, thorium and uranium in the earth. The estimated total thermal energy above mean surface temperature to a depth of 10 km is 1.3 x J, equivalent to burning 3.0 x barrels of oil. Since the global energy consumptions for all types of energy, is…

the most known types of radioactive decay despite the fact that there are some more. Alpha decay, α, composes of two neutrons and two protons making alpha particles similar the nucleus of helium. Large components, for example, uranium, radium, and thorium have a greater number of neutrons than they have protons which aids alpha decay to happen. At the point when another atom is made the mass number decreases by four and its atomic number by two after the core discharges an alpha particle which…

leaves to vibrating ribbons (Windbelt), solar panels that use more than just a couple wavelengths of sunlight, generators that run off of Ocean waves, and potential concepts like extracting ionized energy out of the ionosphere such as Tesla proposed, Thorium salt breeder reactors like those that were built before nuclear went Uranium in order to be weaponized, and Fusion reactors, which is still in the concept phase. Personally I would like to see some of these newer, more compact, safer, and…

By doing this, it will be able to switch from uranium (limited reserves) to thorium (plentiful reserves). (“Russia develops hybrid”, 2014) According to another article from RT News (Oct. 15, 2014), even Russia is trying to develop a hybrid nuclear reactor that uses both nuclear fusion and fission. The project is open for international…

enter the house and allow the stale air to exit. The effects of VOCs can also be lowered by minimalizing exposure to these compounds. An example of a VOC is methanol, a substance which is toxic if ingested because it metabolises to form Formaldehyde (CH_2 O). Methanol (CH_3 OH) is most commonly found in products such as cigarettes as well as in foods or drinks containing aspartame, an artificial sweetener. Formaldehyde is another toxic VOC which can cause the development of cancer. Formaldehyde…

Evolutionists use the geological column as a means of supporting their theory of evolution. The geological column is the theory of a sequence of rocks extending through time from the oldest at the bottom to the youngest mud, dirt and sand deposited on the surface. In many locations around the world, fossils have been discovered that run through many layers of rock. These fossils are known as polystrate fossils. This occurs when a fossil is deposited quickly and through a very large event, such…
