hard, leathery leaves that enable them to reduce transpiration and therefore resist the dry and hot conditions of summer. Silver trees as well also have a similar adaptation, the silver trees have large numbers of fur which decrease the amount of evaporation that occurs during a hot day and this also gives them the silver color. Due to the fact that there are fires and some environmental constraints the plants are forced to survive and adapt or die. Fynbos has adapted so that every time there is a

SOLAR STILL INTRODUCTION : Solar distillation is a relatively simple treatment of brackish (i.e. contain dissolved salts) water supplies. Distillation is one of many processes that can be used for water purification and can use any heating source. Solar energy is a low tech option. In this process, water is evaporated, using the energy of the sun then the vapour condenses as pure water.This process removes salts and other impurities. Solar distillation is used to produce drinking water or

Synthesis of (R,R) Jacobsen’s Salen(Co) Catalyst and Product Analysis of Hydrolytic Kinetic Resolution of Phenyl Glycidyl Ether Grace Sun, Caralyn Takata, Elisabeth Young Thursday Evening Chem 250 Laboratory, Fall 2010 Abstract: It was discovered by Eric N. Jacobsen that the chiral Jacobsen’s Salen(Co) complex 6 is effective in acting as a catalyst for the hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) for regioselecting epoxides. The complex is prepared in four steps. A mixture of 1,2-diaminocyclohexane

INTRODUCTION - Every day, the average person inhales about 20,000 liters of air. Every time we breathe, we risk inhaling dangerous chemicals that have found their way into the air. Air pollution includes all contaminants found in the atmosphere. These dangerous substances can be either in the form of gases or particles. Air pollution can be found both outdoors and indoors. Pollutants can be trapped inside buildings, causing indoor pollution that lasts for a long time. The sources of air pollution
