Acid Rain Air Pollution
457 words
A form of air pollution, currently a subject of
controversy because of widespread environmental
damage it has been blamed. It forms when oxides of
sulfur and nitrogen combine with atmospheric
moisture to make sulfuric and nitric acids, which
then can be carried long distances from their
source before they are released by rain. The
pollution may also take the form of snow or fog or
be precipitated in dry forms. One large area that
has been studied extensively is northern Europe,
where acid rain h...

Loathing In Las Vegas Fear And Loathing In Las

Las Vegas has always been known as the city of
sin, and the movie Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas
corroborates this belief. From drug
experimentation to gambling, this movie portrays a
surprisingly thoughtful glance into the mind of
addiction and of drug usage. Though various drugs
were used in this movie, psychedelics seemed to be
the drugs of choice for the characters. The focus
of this paper is to define the hallucinogens by
using its most popular member, LSD. After LSD has

Rate Of Reaction Hydrogen Bonding

RESEARCH I know that Rennin is an enzyme, so
before conducting this experiment I am first going
to do some research into enzymes and their
effects. 1. Enzymes Enzymes are large globular
molecules of which the vast majority are protein
in nature, though some, known as 'ribozyme's' are
made of RNA. Enzymes have catalytic properties; in
other words, they alter the rate of reaction
without themselves undergoing a permanent change.
Most chemical reactions require an initial input
of energy, called ac...

Sulfur Dioxide Acid Rain
318 words
Acid Rain is, rain that is acidic (naturally).
There is a pH level scale which tells if something
is acidic or not. Due to certain chemicals in the
rain it has a pH level of around 5. 0, and
sometimes even 4. 0 (around volcanoes activity).
The term acid rain is now used for rain with a pH
below 5. Acid rain is caused when gases, generally
like sulfur dioxide (SO 2), dissolves into water
to form sulfuric acid. The rest comes from
different oxides of nitrogen (mainly NO 2 and NO
3). The chemical r...

understand the ways that LSD affect the brain we
must first discuss how the brain sends signals to
the body. In the brain and the brain stem there
are special cells called neurons. Neurons release
a number of chemicals that are sent to various
receptors. The receptors interpret chemical
signals and use them to make you move, see, hear,
learn, etc. These neurons are also responsible for
such behaviors as obsessive-compulsive behavior
and insomnia. The cell...
