harsh on the environment has been going on ever since the United States has increased its use of this process to obtain more natural resources. Hydraulic fracturing is also directly correlated to having effects on drinking water. The process of fracking includes the injection of water containing other chemicals into the ground to extract natural resources that would otherwise be more difficult to obtain (Hydraulic Fracturing Overview, 2012). Although the process of fracking has resulted in an increase
Cochabamba is a town in the Andes Mountains (Murdock). In 2000, the town’s population was approximately 800,000 (Murdock). Although the town was small, the people inside created quite an uproar in the year 2000 (Murdock). What was the cause? Water. Bolivia has the weakest economic system in South America (Murdock). The country is so poor that they had no other option than to sell of their railroads, mines, oil and gas fields, electric companies and so much more (Hennigan). Yet, Bolivia’s economy
amount of water molecules attached loosely to each atoms. So, an example of a hydrate would be ZnSO4 XH2O (X being the number of water molecules). This equation is written in empirical formula which means it is written in it’s simplest form with the subscripts reduced as much as possible. The X has to equal an exact number in accordance to the law of definite proportions, which states that a chemical compound always contains the same proportion of elements by mass. After you evaporate the water from the
The purpose of this lab is to prove Beer’s Law. Beer’s Law states that the absorbance and concentration of substances, once graphed, should prove to be a linear relationship (Lab Manual, 2014). Furthermore, the purpose is to determine the concentration of the unknown solution and the diluted solutions. Moreover, in the lab chromatograph and spectroscopy was used to determine the maximum absorbance of chloroplast and fast green. As well, this lab hopes to show that an absorption spectrum once graphed
generations. Our earth has been sending us warnings and distress signals for over forty years such as the collapse of the North Atlantic cod fishery which left thirty thousand people unemployed and seven hundred communities in poverty. In china water supplies are already scarce and not able to meet the needs of people, industries, and culture (Linden, pg.18). The following are some issues that are affecting our world today. Our atmosphere provides us with crucial things that we cannot survive
the time and the actual concentrations of the dyes in the solution were not determined yet. On the second day, the actual concentrations in the original solution were very close to being determined and absorbance vs wavelength graph and the Beer’s law graph was created for the red dye. Introduction Dyes are organic compound that gives colors to some compounds. Nowadays, our food, such as cereal and candy has many artificial additives.
Experiment 2: Isolation of Eugenol from Cloves Background; Readings on Vapor pressure, Raoult’s Law from TRO: A mixture of the essential oils, eugenol and acetyleugenol, will be steam distilled from cloves. These compounds are isolated from aqueous distillate by extraction into dichloromethane. The dichloromethane solution is shaken with aqueous sodium hydroxide, which will react with eugenol, to yield the sodium salt of eugenol in the basic
the Waugal, or the Rainbow Serpent. The serpent is believed to be the first thing that moved across the land, making the paths in the land such as dunes, rivers, mountains, valleys, and where the serpent stopped to rest is where lakes and bodies of water were formed. The Noongar recognize the Waugal as the giver of life because it mainly created waterways to provide for the people. The story of the Waugal comes with a story of the creation of the earth, when it was dark, flat, and featureless. The
Initially, the bill was going to be made a law without governor Gregg Abbott's signature but on May 18, 2015, House Bill 40 was signed by the governor. The bill took action immediately and many cities had to allow hydraulic fracturing to resume in their city. Many residents were not happy with this action but something had to be done so that cities did not remain completely upset at the government’s actions. First of all, what is House Bill 40? House Bill 40 is a law that was passed to put restrictions
What is fracking? Fracking, according to Webster’s Dictionary, is to force water, sand, and chemical fluids into a crack or seam in a subterranean level of rock so that natural gas or oil may be harvested as it escapes through the crack. Fracking causes many harmful effects to the environment, but it does help the economy in a tremendous way. Fracking can cause loads of chemicals out into the air and into the water supply and it can also cause small earthquakes and tremors. It is useful for the
