    The Sixth Extinction?
    By: Anastasia Webb 
    May 12, 2019 
    In the 4.5 billions years Earth has been around, it has witnessed five mass extinctions. A mass extinction is the extinction of a large number of species within a relatively short period of geological time. Each of these extinctions are said to be caused by dramatic events that resulted in a sharp loss of the diversity on Earth. Many scientists believe that most of them resulted from meteorite impacts, massive volcanism, and other cataclysmic and natural forces. There are also people who think that we are amidst a 6th extinction that may have a lot to do with humans. 
    The five mass extinctions are the End Ordovician, 444 millions years ago. It was responsible for the death of 86% of species. Late Devonian, 375 millions years ago, which killed off 75% of species. End Permian, 251 million years ago. During this extinction, 96% of species were lost. End Triassic that caused the death of 80% of species 200 millions years ago. The most recent mass extinction, End Cretaceous, killed off 76% of species 66 million years ago.  The most recent mass extinction is the one responsible for the death of the dinosaurs. Scientists are not 100% sure as to what causes these mass extinctions, but they are pretty sure it has a lot to do with rapid climate change. 
    Climate change has been visible on Earth for years. It is an undeniable event that affects millions of species and humans on Earth. The climate is changing both naturally and because of humans, and it could be one of the causes of the next mass extinction. This one in particular is said to cause the extinction of a quarter of land animals, birds, and plants. It is much worse in 4 ways: the spread of non-native species around the world; humans taking over a significant percentage of the world’s primary production; human actions increasingly directing evolution; and the rise of something called the technosphere. Each of these things are the reason we could see a sixth mass extinction because they are not natural things that would normally happen on their own. 
    We are currently seeing many rises in extinction rates across the globe. These rates are 10,000 times higher than they were before humans came along. Humans move animals out of their natural habitat, and these animals can become invasive and drive the native species of animals to extinction. Another way humans are having impacts on Earth is by chopping down forests and burning fossils fuels. Burning fossil fuels warms up Earth’s atmosphere and this changing temperature causes animals to adapt to new climate. If they cannot adapt, they die off.  The road to the sixth extinction can be put to an end. It is not inevitable and it does not need to happen. 
    Due to many changes in Earth’s climate by burning fossil fuels, , animals being transported around the world, and deforestation, our world may be on the road to a sixth extinction that could have the biggest impact we have ever seen. Because of all of these changes, extinction rates are 10,000 times higher than they ever have been. Works Cited

  • Title: Chemical Reactions in Industry: Producing Everyday Products

    Topic – Chemical Reactions in Industry 
    Many of the products required by modern society are produced by chemical reactions through the application of science and technology. Pick a chemical reaction that an industry uses to produce a product and write a 2 page report about the reaction. There are many industries that perform chemical reactions to produce a product we use in our everyday lives. Some examples of industries are listed below. 
    Due Date: May 30th, 11:59 PM
    Ideas of types of industries that use chemical reactions (Tip—Google “chemical reactions involved in industry name” to get started): 
    Petroleum Fertilizers Pulp and Paper Plastics Mining metals (from seawater)
    Man-Made Fibres Detergents Ceramics and Glass Cosmetics Mining metals (from ores)  
    Paints Dyes Pharmaceuticals Electroplating
    Things to include in the report: 
    Part 1. Write a brief summary how the product is produced (1/2 page maximum). Write a balanced chemical equation for the production of the product. Be sure to include all reactants, products, states, necessary reaction conditions (ie temperature, catalysts), and a typical percent yield for the reaction. 
    Part 2. For each reactant and product in your chosen reaction describe what type of particle it is. (ie. metal element, nonpolar covalent, polar covalent, or ionic compound). Identify and describe the intermolecular forces that would be attracting each reactant and product particle to its neighbors. 
    Part 3. Pick one of the products produced in the reaction and report its melting point, boiling point, conductivity and solubility. Discuss and explain the properties of the product using your chemistry knowledge. Ex. Why does it have a high/low melting point or boiling point? Why is it soluble or insoluble? Why is it conductive or not conductive? 
    Part 4. Using calculations, show how you could synthesize 1 kg (actual yield) of the product you have chosen to research. This must be based on its actual percent yield that you have researched. In the production of the chemical, which reactant does the industry make the limiting reactant? Discuss why the industry would choose this reactant to be the limiting reactant. 
    Research and Citation:
    You are expected to select reliable, current scientific sources of information to put together this report. All ideas obtained through research (including images) must be cited using the APA format shown in the High School Student Agenda, using both in-text citations and a works cited page.

  • “The Impact of Human Activity and Natural Processes on Global Temperature Change: A Century-Long Analysis” Title: The Rise in Global Temperature and Carbon Dioxide Levels: A Graph Analysis and Prediction Study

    – I uploaded all this info it’s much easier to read. Please look at that instead of this – Research and write an essay about the rise of global temperatures over the past century. 
    Global Temperature Change
    Student Guide
    Assignment Summary
    For this assignment, you will ask questions about the factors that have caused a rise in global
    temperatures over the past century. Then, you will conduct research to answer your questions. You will
    also graph provided information, analyze the graphs, and make conclusions based on the graphs.
    Finally, you will write a paper describing the conclusions of your research and graphs.
    Background Information
    Global temperature change is a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere.
    Both human activity and natural processes have contributed to this temperature increase. Examples of
    human activities include the burning of fossil fuels, cement production, and agricultural activity. Examples
    of natural processes include changes in incoming solar radiation and volcanic activity.
    Scientists present evidence for the rise in global temperature in the form of tables, graphs, maps, and
    models. For example, scientists build climate models (computer simulations of climate systems) to
    explore the causes and effects of global temperature change and to predict future trends. These models
    predict that the Earth’s average surface temperature will rise as greenhouse gas concentrations continue
    to rise. Based on these models, scientists predict that average surface temperatures could rise by
    between 2°C and 6°C by the end of the 21st century.

  • Exploring Factors Affecting the Reactivity of Transition Metal Complexes: Case Studies on the Reactions of CrCl3 and [Cr(OH2)6]2+ with Co(en)2I2 and [Co(NH3

    The reaction of CrCl3 with liquid NH3 to give yellow [Cr(NH3)6]Cl3 often has a low yield,
    since the reaction tends to stop with the production of pink [Cr(NH3)5Cl]Cl2. However,
    adding a small piece of Na metal to the liquid NH3 results in complete conversion of the
    CrCl3 to [Cr(NH3)6]Cl3. Offer two plausible explanations of this rate enhancement for the
    final step of the substitution process
    2- Write a hypothetical inner-sphere redox mechanism for the reaction of [Cr(OH2)6]2+ with cis-
    [Co(en)2I2]+ in acid solution to give (ultimately) cis-[Cr(OH2)4I2]+, Co2+
    (aq) and en. What
    evidence could support this mechanism and why?
    3-Consider reduction of the following cobalt complexes [Co(NH3)5(L)]3+ (L = pyridine (I),
    NC5H4-p-CH2NH2 (II), NC5H4-p-CONH2 (III)) by labile [Cr(OH2)6]2+
    .
    a). Which cobalt complex is least likely to be reduced by an inner-sphere mechanism?
    b). The reduction of III proceeds with a rate constant of k = 17.4, while the reduction of I
    proceeds with a rate constant of k = 4.0 × 10-3
    . What is a likely explanation of the difference?
