1 We have been able to obtain formaldehyde by the exposure of solutions of carbonic acid and bicarbonates to tropical sunlight in presence of various inorganic and organic photocatalysts.

Carbonic acid is a heavy gas —it extinguishes fire and destroys all animal life. If an animal attempts to breathe it pure, there is spasmodic closure of the glottis and the animal dies as ...

In the case herein described, the lime water no doubt combined with the carbonic acid gas inhaled by the workman, and the carbonate oflime an inert substancewas formed ; it therefore appears to us ...

The rise in carbon dioxide levels in our atmosphere is also helping to acidify our oceans even further, resulting in more ...

The rate of ocean warming has more than quadrupled over the past four decades, a new study has shown. Ocean temperatures were rising at about 0.06 degrees Celsius per decade in the late 1980s, but ...

Jovine, the cofounder and chief scientist of Brilliant Planet, is trying to engineer high-growth microalgae strains to ...

To get an idea of just how fast some enzymes work, consider the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, which catalyzes a reaction that ... A common antacid is Tums, which contains calcium carbonate (CaCO3).

We describe the general background and the recent advances in research on underwater photosynthesis of leaf segments, whole communities, and plant dominated aquatic ecosystems and present contemporary ...

Uric acid is a waste product found in urine. If your body makes too much or doesn't eliminate enough of it, uric acid levels can become too high—a condition known as hyperuricemia. High uric acid ...
