Figure 7 of Conrad et al. (1999) shows the variation in C-isotopic composition of CO2 as a function of the concentration of methane measured in the soil and aquifers of a site contaminated in the residues of aviation fuels.
Explain briefly the aim of these particular measurements made to the environmental study.
Also explain briefly why there is a difference in isotopic composition of CO2 obtained via aerobic degradation and methanogenic degradation of AVGAS (fuel residues as contaminants) and the linear “mixing relationship” noted in Figure 7.
How does the degradation process influence the CO2 isotopic signature ? I don't understand why the CO2 from aerobic degradation is lighter than the one from methnogenic degradation ?

In humans, a class of enzymes, which is of particular interest, are the liver enzymes. They break down all toxins encountered by humans. Research and describe the underlying causes for the elevated levels of any one of the liver enzymes described in a liver function test.Ask ONE (1) clarifying question about a topic you find difficult or want to learn more about from the concepts introduced in this module.In your response to your peer’s posts, locate a resource that may help address the clarifying question regarding the genetic topic in the initial post.arrow_forwardIn a time-resolved picosecond spectroscopy experiment, Sheps, Crowther, Carrier, and Crim (Journal of Physical Chemistry A, Vol. 110, 2006; pp. 30873092) generated chlorine atoms in the presence of pentane. The pentane was dissolved in dichloromethane, CH2C12. The chlorine atoms are free radicals and are very reactive. After a nanosecond the chlorine atoms have reacted with pentane molecules, removing a hydrogen atom to form HCl and leaving behind a pentane radical with a single unpaired electron. The equation is Cl (dcm) + C5H12(dcm) HCl(dcm) + C5H11 (dcm) where (dcm) indicates that a substance is dissolved in dichloromethane. Measurements of the concentration of chlorine atoms were made as a function of time at three different concentrations of pentane in the dichloromethane. These results are shown in the table. (a) Determine the order of the reaction with respect to chlorine. (b) Determine whether the reaction rate depends on the concentration of pentane in dichloromethane. If so, determine the order of the reaction with respect to pentane. (c) Explain why the concentration of pentane in dichloromethane does not affect the data analysis that you performed in part (a). (d) Write the rate law for the reaction and calculate the rate of reaction for a concentration of chlorine atoms equal to 1.0 M and a pentane concentration of 0.23 M. (e) Sheps, Crowther, Carrier, and Crim found that the rate of formation of HCl matched the rate of disappearance of Cl. From this they concluded that there were no intermediates and side reactions were not important. Explain the basis for this conclusion.arrow_forward
