Organic Arsenic Compounds
Arsenic is a white metalloid solid element widely distributed in the nature and present at an average concentration of 2 mg/kg. To form organic and inorganic compounds, arsenic can combine with other elements. Compare with organic arsenic compounds, Inorganic arsenic compounds are thought to be more toxic. Arsenic occurs in crystalline, powder, amorphous or vitreous forms in all rock, soil, water and air. Industrial processes such as smelting, mining, and coal-fired power plants all contribute to the presence of arsenic in air, water and

    Aluminum: The 13th Element on the Periodic Table

    Aluminum is a tin-white metal which melts at 640°C and boils at 2,327-2,450°C (N/A, 2012). It is very light and has a density of 2.68g. It is both ductile and malleable, making it stiff and strong, and with frequent annealing it can be rolled into thin foil (N/A, 1996-2012). It is a good conductor of heat and electricity, and it is a solid in its standard state. One of Aluminums chemical properties is that in moist air, it combines slowly with oxygen to form aluminum oxide. The aluminum oxide forms a very thin, whitish coating on the aluminum metal (N/A, n.d.). This element is also a fairly active metal. It reacts with many hot acids and with alkalis. Aluminum also reacts quickly with hot water, and in powdered form, it catches fire quickly when exposed to a flame (N/A, 1996-2012).…

    Introduction: Lycopene is the red pigment in ripe tomatoes and, as an antioxidant, helps to fight certain cancers. In this lab you will isolate lycopene from tomato paste. To do this you will first extract carotenoid pigments from the paste and then use column chromatography to isolate the lycopene from the other pigments. You will then use TLC to evaluate the column chromatography separation. Note: because lycopene is light-sensitive, prevent any unnecessary exposure to light.…

    Arsenic And Old Lace Analysis

    Typically, a play about two elderly woman poisoning lonely males would never have entertained my short attention span, but "Arsenic and Old Lace" was able to grasp and maintain my interest. The cleverly complex plot (the two woman murderers have a mobster nephew) proved to be both suspenseful and engaging, encouraging audience members to examine and predict the next twist. Each scene builds the anticipation of the climactic resolution, never failing to loose the viewers' attention. Flawlessly constructed with straightforward language, the involved story was not difficult for even the simplest audience member to understand.…

    The Importance Of Pollution Levels In El Paso

    Rogers and Leonard Lewisohn opened a smelting business, one of the first actually, in the city and added it to the American Smelting and Refining Company (ASARCO). Marianne Sullivan wrote a book in 2014 called Tainted Earth that examines the impact smelting has had on El Paso. In addition, she also observes the environmental and public health effects this process has had on the community. In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s people were looking for new industries to thrive and ways to make money. “When Rogers and Lewisohn came up with a faster and more efficient way to extract metal from ore their business quickly boomed (Sullivan, 2014, pg.14)” Little did the two men know that during this procedure, lead arsenic are released into the atmosphere. Over time production of releasing metal from ore increased and so did the toxins released into the…

    The Influence Of Antimony On People And The Environment

    Antimony is found in the environment, but found in very low levels. The majority of antimony comes from the resources humans use. The antimony used in human products increase the amount of antimony in the natural environment. There is some antimony in soil, but high concentrations of it are found in wastes sites. The most common ways antimony can enter the body is simply consuming it or breathing its dusts in. Also contact with soil with high amounts of antimony can increase unwanted exposure. Since antimony is used to produce some types of food packaging, such as plastic water bottles, consumption is much more likely than breathing it in and touching toxic…

It is assigned atomic number 33 in the periodic table, and has a relative atomic mass of 74.92.(1) Being found throughout the earth crust, it is the twentieth most abundant element and is found in our air, water, and soil. Arsenic is usually combined with other elements, forming compounds with oxygen, chlorine, and sulfur; and it is in both organic and inorganic forms. Organic arsenic is combined with carbon and hydrogen, where inorganic binds with elements such as oxygen, chlorine and sulfur. Common inorganic compounds of arsenic are trivalent arsenic and pentavalent arsenic; and two reocurring organic compounds are monomethyl arsonic acid and roxarsone.…
