of shipbreaking on biodiversity: Coastal soil and sea water environment are mainly contaminated through the discharge of ammonia, burned oil spillage, floatable grease balls, metal rust (iron) and various other disposable refuse materials together with high turbidity of sea water. Furthermore, oil spilling may cause serious damage by reduction of light intensity, inhibiting the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide across the air-sea water interface, and by acute toxicity. As a result the…

built armored cars. They were thriving. The controversy started here because just four days before the dam collapsed, a federal mine inspector rated the dam “acceptable” and “satisfactory”. When the dam burst, over 130,000,000 gallons of black water flooded the towns below. During this incident 125 people were killed and over 1,100 people were injured. Of the 16 towns that were affected,…

was measured and recorded. Using a graduated cylinder, 50-100 milliliters (ml) of water was measured and added to an empty soda can that was cut in half and cleaned. The soda can was then suspended on a ring stand using a metal ring, and its height was adjusted so that it was about 2-3 centimeters (cm) above the food holder. A thermometer probe was then inserted into the can, and the initial temperature of the water was measured and recorded using the Logger Pro 3.4.6TM software. With the…

What is Ocean Acidification? Ocean acidification occurs when the chemical composition of ocean waters changes such as the temperature and pH. The pH of a substance defines how acidic, basic, or neutral it is on a scale from 1-14 by measuring the amount of hydrogen ions, where 7 is the neutral point. If the pH is below 7, the solution is acidic. If the solution is above 7, it is basic. In nature, the atmosphere is composed of about 0.05% of carbon dioxide. However, humans are rapidly using fossil…

reaction between sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid. INTRODUCTION This lab demonstrates the double replacement / acid-base neutralization reaction between the reactants of two household cooking items, baking soda and vinegar, producing carbon dioxide, water, and sodium acetate. Baking soda is an odorless, powdered chemical compound called sodium bicarbonate (NaHCOз). NaHCOз is most commonly used in baking as a leavening agent, along with acidic components like vinegar, also used as a reactant…

produced in the reaction, and determining the effectiveness of the procedure by calculating the percent yield. In order to complete these objectives, a flask containing the magnesium ribbon was completely submerged into a large beaker filled with water. Next, hydrochloric acid was emptied into the flask using a gas syringe. Then, a Gas Pressure Sensor was used to measure the pressure in the sealed vessel, and a temperature probe was used to measure the temperature of the reaction indirectly by…

Water is everywhere covering over two thirds of the Earth’s surface with only about a third of the surface being covered by land. Even though there is an immense amount of water on the Earth, water pollution has become a major global issue that needs to be dealt with because water is an important resource to both humanity and the natural environment. Water pollution has polluted many bodies of water such as oceans, rivers, lakes, etc., and is extremely harmful to both humans and the…

The book titled the Pollution Paradox, by Bregman Lenormand, is all about the effects of pollution. Bregman first starts his book off by stating who the real villains are in the crime of pollution. Suspects of the crime are the chemical industries, cities, and even the cherished automobiles. However, these are only contributors to the problem of pollution. In fact, the true villain in the crime of pollution is us; people. Every person shares a little responsibility of our generation’s pollution.…

plumbing follows fundamental laws of nature such as gravity, pressure and the fact that water always seeks its own level. Plumbing systems are comprised of pipes, values, drains, fittings and fixtures. Most plumbing pipes are made of plastic PVC piping and sometimes galvanized steel. Plumbing systems are actually comprised of two separate, yet equally important subsystems. The first subsystem brings new water in and the second takes old water out. These systems supply water to fixtures, which…

left. That is why Earle makes it very important that the reader knows that by every marine animal that goes extinct it doesn’t just hurt life in the water but eventually it will start to hurt life out of the water. Animals in the water already have to compete…
