Potassium nitrate

During the last eleven years my work in Belize has evidenced that sustainable development is possible when academic research incorporates community direction, and recognizes local expertise as a component in the formation of new knowledge. Indeed, we are able to manage problems—and in many cases improve lives—by collaborating to undertake community driven and academically supported initiatives. What is sometimes misunderstood in the context of academia, community-based research promotes the creation

Analysis:  The  experiment was  performed on 4  anions: chloride (Cl­), sulfate (SO42­),   nitrate  (NO3­),  and  carbonate  (CO32­).  A  sample  of  each  anion  was  prepared  by placing  10  drops of  each  anion solution into  a centrifuge tube.   The tubes  were labeled accordingly.  The original color of  the  solution was recorded.  The  first test  performed was  an  Anion Elimination Test,  the Silver  Nitrate  Test.  0.1  M AgNO3 was  added  dropwise  to each  tube  until a  precipitate was formed or 5 drops of 0

the product must be precipitated out of the solution and then weighed. For this lab, lead (II) nitrate (Pb(NO3)2) and potassium chromate (K2CrO4) will be reacted together to demonstrate double replacement reaction between 2 ionic compounds. This was shown when chromate replaced the nitrate and formed lead (II) chromate, and when the nitrate replaced the chromate and formed potassium nitrate, which is shown in the

previous season of 2013-2014. However, the problem that comes with having a higher population of cows than humans within New Zealand (4.9 million cows) is that the amount of waste that is deposited into the soils and waters is excessive. Even though nitrates and phosphates within the waste are essential for the nutrients of plants and soils, immense amounts can eventually be leaked through the soils or runoff into the streams, polluting the ground waters and rivers creating a vast problem environmentally

you live, a healthy septic system is vital for the long-term care of your household wastewater. Properly maintained systems can last for 25 to 30 years, and help to keep groundwater clean and free of pollution, bacteria and viruses, as well as the nitrates and phosphates that can cause algae bloom in bodies of water. Many homeowners, though, want to know the best way to take care of their septic system, and one of the best ways to do so is by understanding how laundry can affect the overall health

Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to formulate an aqueous liquid fertilizer that followed the mass percent guidelines of the fertilizer my group was assigned and that had a neutral pH. The fertilizer my group was assigned included the following elements and their mass percent values: 0.8 N, 0.2 P, 0.2 K, 0.1 Fe. We scientifically chose which compounds to include in the fertilizer and performed calculations to determine how much of each compound needed to be added to the fertilizer solution

mixed it with , or Copper III nitrate. The purpose of this test was to determine whether my unknown formed a percipitate with this compound, and to eliminate cations. 2. If the reaction with is insoluble, it would allow me to eliminate suspected cations to get closer to the real cation. Since my cation for my unknown is soluble in most reactions, I attempted to mix it with Copper (II) nitrate, and compare them with the results of phosphate mixing with Copper (II) nitrate. 3. This test requires a

1. Purpose of potassium within the plant To begin the process, potassium is a vital nutrient to productively grow many plants, although potassium isn’t an active ingredient of the chemical structure it still plays several significantly high roles in the development. There are several roles potassium does such as enzyme activation, photosynthesis, stomatal activity, transportation of sugars, water and nutrient transportation, starch synthesis, and improving the quality of the desired crop. 2. How

be discussed later in this paper. Those elements are Potassium, Sulfur, and Krypton. The first is Potassium. Potassium was first discovered and isolated by Sir Humphrey Davy, a Cornish chemist and inventor, in 1807. Potassium is highly reactive, but Davy isolated the element through a process what’s called electrolysis, a process by which an electric current is passed through the element to cause chemical change within the element. Potassium could be extracted through minerals such as carnalite

are being presented with a sense of urgency, we need to be concerned about the greenhouse gases fireworks produce, which include Carbon dioxide (CO2) and ozone. In addition, Fireworks fallout can contaminate water supplies and residue on the ground can be carried away by rain and end up in our lakes, rivers, or oceans. Along with both these types of pollutions, Fireworks can be loud and the vibrations can travel far which results in noise pollution. In the middle of the night fireworks often disturb
