Since the beginning of the scientific revolution in the early nineties the mankind looks for
an energy source that is clean and renewable; solution of this problem would be probably the
most common thing in our life - WATER. Water consists of two chemical elements, hydrogen
and oxygen. Each molecule of water consists of two hydrogen (H2) atoms and one oxygen (O)
atom. Chemical binding between these three atoms is very stable and strong. Therefore, the
reaction of hydrogen and oxygen is under normal circumstances very intense and generates a lot
of energy. 2H2 + O2 ® 2H2O + energy Both, hydrogen and oxygen are gases at normal
temperatures and pressures and the product of this reaction is pure water, usually in its gaseous
form - steam. Now it may look like hydrogen is the ideal power source that mankind is ever
since looking for. More than 70 % of the Earth surface is covered by water, therefore hydrogen
is renewable and unlimited. Reaction of hydrogen with oxygen generates a lot of energy and it
does not have any negative output, only water. But, the respectable power hidden in water is
known for more than 200 hundred years and as long scientists are trying to find a way to extract
this energy, rather how to split the water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen.
Hydrogen can be used to power cars, rail engines, airplanes, to produce electricity and
heat. But, although the technical breakthrough in 19th and 20th century brought hydrogen into
experimental use in many applications, there are still many problems to deal with. There sure is a
lot of misinformation about hydrogen gone to public, so here are the basic facts about hydrogen
as a power source according to the Nuts & Volts Magazine. Hydrogen on earth is not a fuel. It
is only an energy carrier. Following the definition of the word fuel, fuel is a substance that is
capable of delivering new energy when burning or other chemical reaction occurs. On the other
hand energy carrier is a substance that is only able to move previously acquired energy from
one place to another. To be accurate, water molecule is energetically very advantageous for
both oxygen and hydrogen atoms and needs much energy to disintegrate it again into hydrogen
and oxygen atoms, or better H2 and O2 molecules, therefore H2 and O...

...national strength of all the
countries that do not have any important petroleum resources and every country could be self-
sufficient with hydrogen. For example U. S. trade balance sheets show that oil imports drain 1
billion dollars from the U. S. economy every week. Important is also the "clean transport
effect", thanks to an engine that does not produces any carbon dioxide or other environmentally
dangerous emissions.
Hydrogen could be considered to be more safe than gasoline, if safety prescriptions are
not violated, in case of an accident hydrogen would quickly evaporate and ascend in the
atmosphere, while gasoline would stay spilled on the ground. Hydrogen caries much more
energy than gasoline, is more engine saving and also the fuel cell technology promises further
development and increasing reliability of hydrogen powered cars. Following United States
Department of Energy we can expect regular hydrogen-powered traffic in 20 maybe 30 years.
Although, until now no hydrogen-powered cars are in production and hydrogen-powered
engine is only under development hydrogen stays the main alternative fuel of the future.
While marketing is everything businesses do to identify its target market and create strategies for reaching its customers, sales is everything businesses do to close the sale and get a signed agreement or contract. Both are essential to the success of a
Oxides of Hydrogen Introduction: Hydrogen atoms can react with oxygen atoms forming different compounds. There are mainly two types, one is water and the other is hydrogen peroxide. Structure: A water molecule is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom joining together by covalent bonds. The shape of it is bent and its bond angle is of 105°. The structure is shown below.
The marketing concept is producing a product that people want to buy and that the business is not selling because it likes making the product there doing it because they know people will buy their product. The marketing concept can be looked as a philosophy that potentially determines what type of marketing tools/ strategy can be used a company.

Business Firms and organization need to apply workforce diversity in their management. Diversity at the workplace is simply understood as the variation of skills, experience and ideas among employees. This can arise due to differences in various aspects like race, gender, religion and physical attributes. In addition to these, other discrepancies include national origin, medical conditions and so many more (Subbarao 98). Diversity among the workers is an important tool that often leads to prosperity in an organization hence the need for maximum application of this important business virtue.
When something gives us energy, it means more than to just give us the required power to work or move along for such a specific task. In biological terms, it means to have your energy be transported through your body and placed by cells into biomolecules. Biomolecules such as lipids and carbohydrates. It then stores that energy in our body.
In the beginning of episode 2, two Native Americans really clarify the meaning of the title, "We Shall Remain". There conversation goes along the lines of how they agree that this land is theirs and that nobody has the right to remove them from where they have always been. One man states, "the master of life has appointed us this place to light our fires and
Abortion is the expulsion of an embryo or fetus from the uterus. This can be done naturally and spontaneously, also known as a miscarriage, or induced medically. It’s no secret that abortion has become a major debate over the past few years as well. Depending on the person some seem to be okay with this process and some are completely against it. There has been a decrease in abortion rates because some states have taken it as far as restricting access to abortion but also because there has been an overall decline in pregnancy rates. The link I provided will give an explanation for some reasons of why abortion should be illegal. To give some examples listed in the article; one states that it’s killing a child, another gives the option of adoption,
The oxygen atom is joined to the hydrogen atom as well as the carbon atom, which makes the oxygen a part of a hydroxyl group. These atoms are generally part of a hydrocarbon chain. These alcohols can take away water from the body, in which a hydrocarbon chain has replaced a hydrogen atom. Alcohols have a general structure of CnH2n+1OH. The aim of this investigation is to see the link between the number of carbon atoms in a fuel with the amount of energy it releases.
The hydrogen and the hydroxide ions react to form water. As bonds are made this is an exothermic reaction so heat will be given out and this will be shown as an increase in temperature. The chemical energy will be negative ( H is minus). APPRATUS/MATERIALS:- 1. Polystyrene cup [IMAGE] 2.
Often in organisms substances must be in solution and water is the solvent. Plants can only obtain mineral salts in solution so require water to live. Also human digestion will only dissolve soluble foods, meaning large starch molecules must be broken down into soluble sugars. Also many organisms living in water spend most of their lives underwater, yet they require oxygen to live and respire, and as water is such a good solvent the required oxygen gas is dissolved in the water and the organisms can use it. Water is the most abundant component in any organism, proving its
...ination, hydrogen fuel and solar energy (World Economic Forum 2014). These are technologies that closely related to environmental and recourse preservation, which help the society switch to use renewable energy.
Personally what makes a brand “luxurious” is the atmosphere and the emotions one feels once walking into a flagship store. Every brand has its unique photography style; its own color pallet and even the logo can give it a sense of high quality and set off emotions. Each brand presents itself to the world in either a traditional looking way, with the use of old but long standing typography. “The lower floor…devoted to the heritage of the Vuitton brand: luxurious…But upstairs is a Marc Jacobs wonderland.” This too supports my viewpoint on the environment inside a store, it plays a big role into creating strangers into loyal customers, the way the brand has been branded inside
