Mini-Project #1: Linear Models The United States is the largest waste producer in the world with most of the waste being dumped into the ground. As with most states, Indiana's landfills are filling at an alarming rate Listed are the tons of waste generated for the years 1990-1994. These numbers include solic waste and material that may be recycled. (Source: Monroe County Solid Waste Management, Bloomington, Indiana. Funded in part by the National Science Foundation and Indiana University 1995) in...
ENVIRON 1 What types of solid waste do we produce and why do we say waste is a "human invention"? 1 True or False if we handled waste in a circular economic system rather than a linear one, we would produce less waste overall 2. Why do we say there is no waste" in nature? a. Nature does not produce toxic or unwanted material b. Nature can destroy unneeded or dangerous matter c. The waste of one organism can be...
IReview I Constants Periodic Table The presence of SO2 in the atmosphere and the sulfuric acid that it produces result in the phenomenon of acid rain. Uncontaminated rainwater is naturally acidic and generally has a pH value of about 5.6. The pH of acid rain is about 4 Part A This acidity has affected many lakes in northern Europe, the northern United States, and Canada, reducing fish populations and affecting other parts of the ecological network within the lakes and...
Most of the sufur used in the United States is chemically synthesized from hydrogen sulfide gas recovered from natural gas wells. In the first step of this Synthesis, called the Caus process, hydrogen sulfide gas is reacted with dioxygen gas to produce gaseous sulfur dioxide and water Suppose a chemical engineer studying a new catalyst for the Claus reaction finds that 788. liters per second of dioxygen are consumed when the reaction is run 177. "C and 0.97 m. Calculate...
In the United States a government agency known as FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) pays out funds to areas and people affected by natural disasters. Following Hurricane Sandy, which flooded the low-lying parts of lower Manhattan, FEMA paid out funds to help pay for damages in the area. There is currently a proposal to construct a unit complex on the Outer Banks in South Carolina. This is an area that is likely to be increasingly affected by flooding and hurricanes...
Part B Gastric acid pH can range from 1 to 4, and most of the acid is HCI. For a sample of stomach acid that is 6.95x10- Min HCl, how many moles of HCl are in 12.9 mL of the stomach acid? Express the amount to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. View Available Hint(s) DHMÄ ? amount of HC1 = Value Units Submit The concentrations of solution are typically described as a ratio of the amount of...
FINAL Homework 1- Multiple choice questions (1 point each) Please answer all the following questions. Which one of the following is NOT considered as a natural resource? Energy from the sun Energy from the wind Energy from a battery a Energy from water 2. Aquifers are formed of water That infiltrates into the ground That evaporates into the air None of the above s. Which of the following are advantages of withdrawing groundwater? Sinkhole formation Overpumping Increased contamination from deeper...
Microscale techniques: In today's experiment we will be using very small amounts of chemical reactants. This method is generally less expensive and more environmentally-friendly than traditional "test tube" chemistry. Some of the waste products produced in today's experiment, particularly those containing lead and barium, are harmful to the environment. By using such small amounts of chemical reactants we generate far less waste than by using larger scale methods. Procedure 1. Put on your safety goggles. Be sure to wear them...
NPP = GPP – R Net primary production = ______________ = GPP – energy used for cellular respiration Gross primary production = ________________ production of primary producers Respiration = ______________________ Thus NPP is the amount of energy available to primary consumers = primary production Explain the different ways in which primary production is influenced in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems Primary production: terrestrial ecosystems influenced by water, temperature, and nutrient availability Evapotranspiration rate measures the amount of water entering the atmosphere...
Business magazines and newspapers regularly publish articles about the changing nature of work in the United States and about how many jobs are being changed. Because so much has been made of the shift toward service-sector and professional jobs, many people might assume that the number of unpleasant and undesirable jobs has declined. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. While many Americans work in gleaming air-conditioned facilities, millions of others work in dirty, grimy, unsafe settings. For...
