Oil Companies Crude Oil
900 wordsWhy are we paying so much for gasoline? If you havent noticed you must not drive, but there has been a drastic increase in gas prices in the past year and a half. It seemed like just the other day when I was at the gas station and I said Can I get 20 dollars on pump 3 please? and that would guarantee a full tank of gas. But those were the good old days when gasoline was a low, low, low price of. 99 cents per gallon. 20 dollars has my gauge reaching for the halfway mark on the gas meter. Nowadays...

U S Trade Billion A Year
1,477 words... on. 9 Sema tech was launched in 1986 to promote the U. S. microchip industry over rivals in Japan and Germany. It spent several billion dollars of U. S tax dollars for the purpose of boosting the sales and profitability of U. S. chip producers -- such as Intel. Now, some twelve years later and after spending taxpayer funds to prop up Intel, the Federal Trade Commission is spending taxpayer dollars to sue Intel under antitrust statutes for being too big and too profitable. As these examples d...

Mccabe Thiele Graphical Hetp Vs Vapor Velocity Column
5,222 wordsThis report Chemistry: Destination Abstract This report outlines the steps taken to separate a 50: 50 by volume ethanol and isopropanol side stream. The resulting separation must contain no more than 3 % alcohol impurity in each product. A laboratory column, run at total reflux, was utilized to scale up to a forty foot high by one foot diameter column. The laboratory column allowed the team to determine vapor velocities and HETP values for the 0. 24 inch Pro-Pakq packing. HETP is defined as the ...

Carbon Atoms Measuring Cylinder
3,479 wordsComparing Energy Release from the Combustion of Alcohols I am going to investigate the energy released by burning alcohol called the enthalpy of combustion. I will be trying to find out how the number of Carbon atoms the alcohol contains effects the enthalpy change that occurs during combustion. The Alcohols are a series of related organic molecules where each member has the -OH (hydroxyl) group in the molecule. The general formula of an alcohol is: Cn H 2 n+ 1 OH, where n is the number of Carbo...

Amount Of Energy Oxygen Atoms
1,983 wordsPlanning In this investigation I will be burning alcohols to heat up a beaker of water. I will be burning five alcohols, methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol and pentanol. The aim is to find out how much energy is produced when burning these alcohols. An alcohol is a series of organic homologous compounds, with the general formula Cn H n + 1 OH´ . Alcohols react with oxygen in the air to form water and carbon dioxide. The reaction that is involved in burning alcohols is exothermic because ...
