Carbon offset

The human race has relied on finite resources as a source of energy since their beginning as a race on the Earth. While humans have used resources such as food in order to provide their bodies with the essential energy they need in order to survive, these sources are relatively much less finite than that of other human resources. This is because human beings are able to grow and produce their own food as they please. Sources of energy such as water on the other hand, which are relatively less finite

many hydrocarbons, particularly 84-87% of carbon, 12-14% of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sulphur (1-2%) (Simanzhenkov, 2003 ) Page 4. It’s formed from fossil remains obtained from reservoir’s thousands of feet below the ground. There are 3 main groups of hydrocarbons; paraffinic, naphthenic and aromatic hydrocarbons. The paraffinic series of hydrocarbons have the general formula CnH(2n+2) and can be either be straight chains or branched chains of carbon atoms. Naphthenic hydrocarbons have the formula

Carbohydrates are biological molecules made up largely of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Monosaccharide sugars are rings of carbon, sometimes with an oxygen atom in the ring, with additional carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen branches. Sucrose is normal table sugar. Sucrose is a non reducing disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose linked via their anomeric carbons. It is obtained commercially from sugarcane, sugar beet (beta vulgaris), and other plants and used extensively as a food and a sweetener

different", he answered. It was an introductory class on physical chemistry and our chemistry teacher was teaching us the allotropes of carbon. At the end of the class, he asked us, “What do you think makes a small piece of diamond more precious than tons of charcoal, although they are made up of same carbon atoms? Is it its appearance? No. It’s the pressure that the carbon endured for thousands of years to become a diamond”. “A diamond is just a piece of charcoal that handled the pressure well”, he quoted

Comparison of Three Isomers of Butanol SCH 4UI Abstract The Hydroxyl group on alcohols relates to their reactivity. This concept was explored by answering the question “Does each alcohol undergo halogenation and controlled oxidation?” . Using three isomers of butanol; the primary 1-butanol, the secondary 2-butanol and the tertiary 2-methyl-2-propanol, also referred to as T-butanol, two experiments were performed to test the capabilities of the alcohols. When mixed with hydrochloric acid in

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE PROPERTIES OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS THROUGH VARIOUS TESTS Johanna Lynne La Rosa, Denise Gianelli Lopez, Anna Reyzell Lundang, Marlon Mallillin III and Jacinto Mari Manual Group 5 2E Pharmacy Organic Chemistry Laboratory ABSTRACT Organic compounds have been subjected to comparative investigation to differentiate the behaviour of one from the other. The physical state at room temperature, odor and color of the samples were noted by simple observation. The samples are classified

Nitrogen are more electronegative than the carbon on which they’re attached electrons are pulled towards O- and N- attracting the ethane from Iodoethane. Iodine being more electronegative

have lost limbs find it hard to pay for them, since they’re very expensive, so I looked into materials used, which are currently plastics such as polypropylene and carbon fibers. However, there are still some problems such as slow reaction time so manufacturers and laboratories are looking into alternate solutions such as carbon nanotubes and microchips. Research is expensive though, so I do not see the cost of

accomplished once the drip rate of the product into the collection vessel diminishes considerably. After the reflux and distillation is complete 13C NMR and IR is used to identify the product or products for each reaction. 13C NMR is used to observe the carbon skeleton of an organic molecule. Analysis of this spectrum allows certain stretches to be observed. An IR spectrum has energy measured as frequency recorded on a horizontal axis and intensity of the absorption on the vertical axis. Analysis of the

All three fungi, Pleurotus pulmonarius, Pycnoporus sanguineus and Trichoderma sp. were grown in three different type of media MEA, PDA and GYMP under conditions of pH 5.5 and temperature of 27. Based on the graphs, Pleurotus pulmonarius grew faster in the medium of MEA followed by GYMP and PDA. Pycnoporus sanguineus and Trichoderma sp. grew faster in MEA medium as well but followed by PDA and then GYMP. The accumulative growth for Pleurotus pulmonarius in MEA medium is 2.11875, PDA medium is 1.393333
