Effects Of Acid Rain Sulfur Dioxide And Nitrogen
3,730 wordsWhat is acid rain? Acid rain is the term for pollution caused when sulfur and nitrogen dioxides combine with atmospheric moisture. The term 'acid rain' is slightly misleading, and would be more accurate if deemed 'enhanced acid rain', as rain occurs acidic naturally. Acidity is measured on what is know as the pH scale. Fourteen is the most basic, seven is the most neutral, and zero is the most acidic. Pure rain has a pH level of 7, which is exactly neutral. The acidity of rain is determined by t...

Heavy Metals British Isles
1,130 wordsZinc hyper accumulation in Thlaspi caerulescens as a chemical defence against herbivore ABSTRACT Thlaspi caerulescens is one of several plant species known to accumulate heavy metals in excess of 2 % of their above ground plant biomass. The reasons for hyper accumulation are unknown, but several studies conclude that it may be a plant chemical defence. This has been of interest to biologists because these metals are usually toxic. The accumulation of these metals may serve as a model for coevolu...

Acid Mine Drainage Causes Effects And Solutions
1,484 wordsFor hundreds, even thousands of years, human beings have mined for metals and stones, and with the advent of greater technology as well as greater needs, the demands for these resources continue to grow. While these resources benefit our lives in many ways, the effects of mining can be detrimental, and one such effect is the topic of this essay, acid mine drainage (A. M. D. ). The causes of A. M. D. will be discussed, along with some of the physical and biological problems associated with it. So...

Valence Electrons Periodic Table
854 wordsThe periodic table is simply the organization and classification of different elements. By the end of the 1700 s, scientists had identified about 30 elements. In less than 100 years, the number of known element doubled because of new means of recognizing them. In the early 1800 s, Dobereiner observed that there were elements that could be classified into groups of 3, or triads. These triads were significant because these classifications of similar elements represented the very beginning of the p...

Sulfur Dioxide Acetic Acid
1,936 wordsLead, symbol Pb, dense, bluish-gray metallic element that was one of the first known metals. The atomic number of lead is 82; the element is in group 14 (or IVa) of the periodic table. Lead was mentioned in the Old Testament. It was used by the Romans for making water pipes, soldered with an alloy of lead and tin. Few metals have been used in more different ways than lead. Lead ornaments and coins have been in use since ancient times. In the Middle Ages strips of lead called came's were first us...

Stainless Steel Defense System
1,166 wordsWhats Metal Allergies On Gold Whats so special about this gold stuff, anyway? I mean, its expensive because its rare but why do we use it in jewellery? Gold has a couple of fairly unique properties that have made it attractive to jewellers throughout history. Prime among these is its resistance to corrosion. The only chemical that can dissolve or even tarnish pure gold is royal water, a mixture so fiendish few of us are ever likely to encounter it and those who do will have other things to worry...

Prince Edward Island Precious Metals
3,239 wordsCanadian Mining Facts Annual In 1997, Canadian mining was hard hit by the current metal downturn that began with a dramatic drop in the price of gold. However, despite a larger-than-expected number of mine closings, the year ended with 21 mine openings (11 mines and 10 re-openings) and 20 mine closings (9 suspensions and 11 closures). Overall, Canadian mines incurred a substantial net gain of some 31 485 t of daily ore production capacity and some 25 mining jobs in 1997 through mine openings and...

Copyright C 1994 Middle Ages
869 wordsScience Alchemy Alchemy, ancient art practiced especially in the Middle Ages, devoted chiefly to discovering a substance that would transmute the more common metals into gold or silver and to finding a means of indefinitely prolonging human life. Although its purposes and techniques were dubious and often illusory, alchemy was in many ways the predecessor of modern science, especially the science of chemistry. The birthplace of alchemy was ancient Egypt, where, in Alexandria, it began to flouris...

Alkaline Earth Metals Transition Metals Elements
421 wordsTransition Elements, series of chemical elements that share similar electron orbital structures and hence similar chemical properties. The transition elements are commonly defined as the 30 elements with atomic numbers 21 to 30, 39 to 48, and 71 to 80. The transition elements exhibit multiple valences or oxidation states typically ranging from + 1 to + 8 in compounds. In organometallic compounds, consisting of metals bonded to organic species, transition metals sometimes take on negative oxidati...
