...2013-14 Advanced Environmental Technologies 2013-14 Holly Cross Athletic Facility Decontamination Analysis Cleaning vs. Disinfecting Introduction Cleaning and disinfecting of public transportation is a matter of technique, coupled with the proper cleaning agents. To insure that cross contamination of harmful microbes does not occur, certain steps need to be followed to take cleanliness down to the microscopic level, where the cause of the problem actually originates. Current practices of popular cleaners often instruct the user to spray on, wait 30 seconds, and wipe. They also do little to stop cross contamination as the user moves from one container to the next. For containers, airplanes, and intermodal vehicles that go all over the world, the simple act of “cleaning” with a less powerful agent could actually be the cause of a disease jumping from one country to the next. The current practices of using alcohol-based Simple Green, or similar products, instead of the more powerful chlorine dioxide could be a legal problem due to the to the lack of disinfecting properties required by insurance and governing policies. School buses play a major role in the intermodal world we live in. The public transportation network moves millions of people around the world in vehicles that are prime targets for the growth of microbials such as viruses, bacteria and fungi. About Microbes within Athletic Facilities Microbial populations of viruses, bacteria, and fungi are among...

...Lab Session 12, Experiment 11: Valence, the Combining Capacity of Elements and Molecules One molar mass of an element or compound that produces or reacts with 1.008 grams of hydrogen has a valence of I. It follows that the same quantity producing or reacting with 2.016 grams of hydrogen is valence II, and producing or reacting with 3.024 grams of hydrogen is valence III, etc. In this experiment, the magnesium metal will be reacted with concentrated hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas according to the following chemical equation: Mg (sol) + x HCl (aq) → MgCl x (aq) + x H2 (gas) 2 The hydrogen gas produced will be collected, its volume measured, and the mass in grams calculated using the ideal gas law: PV = nRT When using this equation, the units of the gas constant (R) must be consistent with the units used for the other quantities in the equation. The Handbook of Chemistry and Physics lists the value of R as R = 0.08206 L × atm × mol –1 –1 ×K Thus, pressure (P) must be expressed in atmospheres, volume (V) in liters, and temperature (T) in Kelvin. 11A Experiment A sample of magnesium metal with an approximate mass of 0.24 grams will be reacted with excess hydrochloric acid. The hydrogen gas produced will be collected, its volume measured, and finally its mass in grams will be calculated. Chemicals Required: 6M hydrochloric acid Note: 12M HCl(aq) must be diluted. Apparatus Required: 500 mL Florence flask Glass tubing Watch...

...Lab Report #2 Name: Lab: #9 Enzymes – Experiment #4 Due date: Purpose The purpose of the experiment is to compare and examine the effect of substrate concentration on catalase activity. Introduction All chemical reactions require a catalyst. A type of catalyst that exists is an enzyme, which acts to bring out a specific biochemical reaction. At all times, all work inside a cell is being performed by enzymes (Brian, 2000). The purpose of an enzyme is to help the cell carry out reactions very quickly. An interaction must be made for a reaction to become catalyzed. The active site is where this interaction between the enzyme and the reactant and/or reactants takes place. In order for the enzyme to work efficiently and properly, the reactant (or substrate) must position itself perfectly within the active site. Most enzymes usually only can catalyze a single chemical reaction, which is called specificity (Introduction To Enzymes, n.d.). Enzymes can also operate to an optimal extent where chemical reactions can occur rapidly and with the upmost efficiency, under certain conditions known as the enzyme’s optimum activity (Boli, 2012). The many different conditions include environmental, such as pH and temperature, or concentrations of the substrates and enzymes. In this experiment, we examined a substance called catalase. Catalase is the isolated cells from potatoes and beef liver. As the substrate for the experiment, hydrogen peroxide was used at various different amounts...

...is odourless gas due to which Ethanethiol is added as powerful odorant, so that leakage can be easily detected. We can detect the presence of dangerous LPG leakage in the cars, industrial sectors and residential premises using an Ideal Gas Sensor. We can easily integrate the LPG gas leakage detector unit into a unit that can sound an alarm or give a visual suggestion of the LPG concentration. The sensor used in this Project will have both admirable sensitivity and rapid response time. This sensor can also be used to sense other gases like iso-butane, propane, LNG and even cigarette smoke. The output of the sensor goes LOW as soon as the LPG sensor senses any gas leakage. This is detected by the microcontroller and the LED & buzzer are turned ON. After a delay of few milliseconds, the exhaust fan is also turned ON for throwing the gas out and a “GAS LEAKAGE” message is sent to a pre-defined mobile number using GSM Module. MQ-5 Semiconductor Sensor for Combustible Gas Sensitive material of MQ-5 gas sensor is SnO2, which with lower conductivity in clean air. When the target combustible gas exist, the sensors conductivity is Higher along with the gas concentration rising. We use simple electro-circuit, convert change of conductivity to correspond output signal of gas concentration. MQ-5 gas sensor has high sensitivity to Methane, Propane and Butane and could be used to detect both Methane and Propane. The sensor could be used to detect different combustible gas especially Methane...

...Synthesis of the Diels-Alder Adduct Purpose: To investigate the methods behind Diels-Alder chemistry through the laboratory synthesis of 4- cyclohexene-cis- ,2-dicarboxylic anhydride from butadiene sulfone with maleic anhydride. By utilizing the theoretical concepts in a hands-on approach through laboratory synthesis, I hope to gain a better understanding of the reaction concepts governing Diels- Alder chemistry. Theory: The Diels-Alder reaction is a cycloaddition, chemical reaction that occurs between a conjugated diene, a molecule with two alternating double bonds, and dienophile, an alkene, to form rings and bicyclic compounds. Because it involves the interaction of four π electrons that are supplied by the diene and the two π electrons supplied by the dienophile, the Diels-Alder reaction is often called [4 + 2] cycloaddition. In the reaction, two new σ bonds are formed and one π bond is formed at the expense of two π bonds, which results in a cyclic product. The Diels-Alder reaction is a member of a larger class of reactions called pericylic reactions, which are reactions that take place in a single step, without intermediates and that involve the flow or redistribution of bonding electrons. The reaction proceeds through a cyclic transition state and is concerted, meaning bonds in the transition state are simultaneously made or broken. The Diels-Alder reaction is favored when the dienophile is the substituted with electron withdrawing groups such as nitriles, amines...

...work of fiction for an academic exercise and in no way is meant to imply actual terrorist plans or intents. BACKGROUND: Sarin is one of the most lethal and effective nerve agents available. It can be used in liquid or gas forms, and it can kill within 1 to 10 minutes (CDC). Sarin is flexible and can be used to poison the air both indoors and outdoors, attached to an explosive, sprayed over crops or added to water supplies. Even those who happen to receive immediate medical attention will likely be permanently physically and or mentally handicapped (LaFranchi). Sarin would be an excellent addition to our organization’s stockpile as it can be used in a wide variety of situations across the globe with high effectiveness. ACQUISITION: Sarin gas has been declared illegal by the UN since the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993 and it was declared a weapon of mass destruction by UN Resolution 687. As such, it is illegal for just about any state (who has signed onto the convention) to manufacture, own, stockpile or distribute sarin. While this may seem like it will complicate acquisition, there are currently sources to exploit where we already have control and/or influence. According to Woodward, Aum Shinrikyo was able to create a facility to produce sarin gas with only $30 million USD. This is a paltry sum now that we have allies and subgroups consolidating and commanding territories in Syria and Iraq. With our world-wide influence and reach, it will not be hard to recruit the...
