Final Posting - Spring 2013

In class, we have been discussing thermodynamics and reaction rates.  I want you to research how these topics are used industry, agriculture, or in the treatment of contaminated soil, waste, or water.

The following are some questions to guide your research and should be answered in your post:  What type of reaction is taking place?  Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic?  What kind of enthalpy change takes place?  What is the purpose of the study, research, etc.?  Describe the rate of the reaction.  Do they use anything to speed up or slow down the reaction being used.  How is the research interesting to you?

The post is due by next Thursday, May 23rd @ Midnight.  We will discuss the next day in class.  If you have any questions, please let me know.
Good Luck!
