The oceans are said to be the "source of life." The enormous, blue, calm oceans are the signatures of the planet earth. They cover nearly three-fourths of the surface of the earth. This is equal to 71 percent of the earth's entire surface or about 361 million sq km (140 million sq m...

For years ever since most of the world has been industrialized, the effects of pollution have plagued nations alike. Acid rain is one of the largest contributors to this industrialized form of pollution. Throughout this report an explanation of the devastating effects to the environment caused b...

Introduction A team was sent to the chemical manufacturing division of a small chemical company to help the technicians with experiments. Since the notes written by the technicians were inaccurate and unfinished, all of the experiments they had preformed needed to redone and documented correctly....

Purpose: To demonstrate the isolation of a natural product from a biological source (tea bags) using extraction techniques, and to demonstrate purification by sublimation. Procedure: In a 400ml beaker, 15 tea bags were submerged in approximately 125ml of water. This was brought to a boil ov...

In this paper I will describe the molecular structure and the chemical properties of water. Also I will discuss the importance of water to living organisms and the effects of acid rain on our environment. Water, as a molecule is a bent molecule and this characteristic makes it a very polar. W...
