Paul Vu Reusser ENGL Comp 1113 8AM 23 June, 2014 Environmental Danger Have you ever wondered how some oil companies get natural gas? There are numerous ways to obtain oil from the ground. Most people require natural gas in their everyday life. It has become more common, cheaper, and cleaner energy source. One of the ways to get it is called fracking.
Let’s call this number X. Then the structural formula of BaCl2 hydrate can be written as BaCl2•XH2O. The reaction of dehydration is |BaCl2•XH2O ( BaCl2 + XH2O |(5) | According to the stoichiometry of the reaction (5) |[pic] |(6) | Where N1 is the number of moles of BaCl2 formed in the reaction (5) and N2 is the number of moles of water lost in the reaction (5). To find out N1 you need to divide the mass of BaCl2 after the reaction by its molar mass. To find out N2 you have to determine the mass of water produced in the reaction.
Describe how the storage of molecules is broken down and used to produce ATP. The process of ATP formation occurs when you inhale or exhale. In this cycle beta oxidation occurs causing fatty acids to be broken down into two carbons which forms
The issue: Is hydraulic fracturing, or hydrofracking, a safe way to extract natural gas, a much needed energy resource? Or could it contaminate drinking water and cause other environmental damage? * Supporters of hydrofracking say: There is no proven case of hydrofracking contaminating drinking water, and the process is perfectly safe. Natural gas can revive local economies, reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil and provide a cleaner-burning fossil fuel. Further regulation is unnecessary and will only prevent an opportunity for the U.S. to develop an alternative energy source and create jobs.
Even though there are people against fracking, the opposites consider that it could be good because it will create jobs, Americans could have their own energy and the U.S.A will use less coal. People who are against fracking claim that it has negative environmental consequences. The drillers use acids such as Boric Oxide and Hydrochloric that are used to clean swimming pool filters. Moreover, they use detergents one of them is Sodium Hydroxide.pH buffer. It is very corrosive and causes severe burns.
This is done by a procedure called refluxing. Refluxing is the process of heating a product to the boiling point and re-condensing the vapor continuously. The procedure halogenation is the addition of a halogen to a π bond forming a halo alkane. In this synthetic reaction bromine was used in the process called bromination. The bromine is acting first like an electrophile, and then after bromine has broken the π bond, a carbocation has formed, and a bromide ion has been created, the bromide ion then acts as the nucleophile and forms a bond with the carbocation.
Oil is a fossil fuel supply which is not being created as fast as it is being drained. It is something that has been the cause of many deaths in two world wars. Hemp could be contributing to our independence in lieu of the government spending money to burn these crops that grow naturally. Some food crop production is being geared toward making a fuel called Ethanol. Ethanol is a healthy alternative to oil.
Driving cars, heating buildings, producing electricity, people all need gas. Therefore, gas is directly related to people’s normal life and the global economy. Recently, the Middle East political and economic situation has been deteriorating which has led to the continuous hikes of gas prices. The oil price, the volatile situation in Libya and rumblings in Saudi Arabia are being blamed for spiking gas prices. The political turmoil sweeping across countries like Egypt, Libya, Bahrain, and Tunisia have resulted in rising oil and gasoline prices, increased inflation, devalued currencies, and diminishing stock values.
A Fracking Problem Drill, baby, drill, has been the mantra behind the ever-present need to find cheaper, more efficient energy. The most recent solution to our energy dilemma has been hydraulic fracturing, a process that may be causing more harm then benefit. While the natural gas produced from fracking, as the practice is nicknamed, is a cleaner alternative to both coal and oil, it still releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere promising no relief from the dangers of climate change. In addition to the climate change issue, the process of fracking is being investigated for claims of methane contamination of groundwater sources and possible negative geological effects, including human-induced earthquakes. The dangers
If we drill here, as I have stated, we spend less money; by spending less money, we can keep more money here from taxes and shipping costs, lowering the prices at the pumps, because the oil companies will not be getting taxed as much, leaving them room to drop the prices. Drilling ANWR is better than it is bad. All of the money we could keep, and make in America would boost our economy in a much needed forward motion. This gives businesses extra money in pocket, leaving them some money to expand themselves and higher more employees, which will lead to even more money! ANWR is not an environmental threat, so I ask, Why not?
