artificial photosynthesis is the mean to produce energy by using sunlight and carbon dioxide. By this mean not only we get energy but by using carbon dioxide we can also lessen the global warming. This process is not fully developed but is a great hope for future fuel needs.
The threat of global warming is high due to the extensive use of fossil fuels.Using non-renewable resources is a viable solution. Sunlight can be converted in two ways - into electrical energy and into chemical energy. Water splitting and CO2 are two important methods which can be used in solar cells.

EXPERIMENT #4
GREEN LEWIS ACID-CATALYZED HYDROLYSIS OF CYCLOHEXENE OXIDE
Introduction:
Epoxides are three-membered ethers. They are special because unlike most ethers, they can react
with nucleophiles to form a new bond between carbon and the nucleophile and break a bond
between that carbon and oxygen. This ring-opening reaction makes epoxides versatile functional
groups for organic synthesis. (In fact epoxide is the functional group that makes epoxy resins
possible.)
Scheme 1. Ring opening of an epoxide in the presence of a nucleophile.
Ring-opening of the epoxide can occur under basic or acidic conditions. Under basic conditions,
the reaction is similar to an SN2 reaction so that the nucleophile attacks the less substituted carbon
of an unsymmetrical epoxide by backside attack. Sodium ethoxide reacts with this epoxide in the
following reaction.
Scheme 2. Ring opening of an unsymmetrical epoxide under basic conditions.
Under acidic conditions, the reaction is more complicated. It is similar to an SN2 reaction because
the nucleophile reacts by backside attack. However, because there is partial positive charge on the

Scheme 3. Ring opening of an unsymmetrical epoxide under acidic conditions.
While sulfuric acid is an inexpensive acid catalyst, it is difficult to handle. It is very corrosive and
can cause severe burns. In addition, it is viscous, which makes it difficult to handle on the scale of

Investigation on the Effect of TiO2 and H2O2 for the Treatment of Inorganic C...inventy
Sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) is regularly used as a disinfectant or a bleaching agent because of its high efficiency against many bacteria and viruses present in seawater along with its cheaper cost. Now a days, with the increase in the environmental concerns concerning the use of chlorination for the disinfection or bleaching of treated water related to the formation of potentially harmful chloro-organic by products through reactions with natural organic matter (NOM), it is preferred to implement a process with environmentally friendly chemicals for water treatment processes. About This report aim to study the possibility of reducing the inorganic carbon present in seawater by oxidization reaction of seawater with TiO2 and H2O2. Investigated and a comparison between thin film method and suspension method with a reactor system in conjunction with a light concentrating system has been done.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. Introduction
Catalysis:
Definition: Catalysts are substances that help to speed up
the process of chemical reactions without taking part in
the reaction. This process of speeding up the speed of
chemical reaction without taking part in the reaction is
called catalysis.
•Over 80% of industrial processes involve catalysts.
4. Activity 1: The decomposition of H2O2 using
yeast as a catalyst
Something decomposes when it breaks down into its
component parts.
Hydrogen peroxide is not a very stable compound the
decomposition goes very slowly. In this reaction, yeast
catalyzes the decomposition, making the reaction go much
more quickly.
Yeast
5. Activity 1: The decomposition of H2O2 using
yeast as a catalyst
6. Activity 2: Examples of
Catalysts:
1. Natural catalyst:
Enzymes are the commonest and most efficient of
the catalysts found in nature. Most of the chemical
reactions that occur in the human body and in other
living things are high-energy reactions that would
occur slowly, if at all, without the catalysis provided
by enzymes. For example, in the absence of
catalysis, it takes several weeks for starch to
hydrolyze to glucose; a trace of the enzyme ptyalin,
found in human saliva, accelerates the reaction so
that starches can be digested. Some enzymes
increase reaction rates by a factor of one billion or
more.
7. 2. chemical industry:
Process catalysts play a vital role in the economy.
More than 90% of chemical manufacturing processes
and more than 20% of all industrial products employ
underlying catalytic steps. Petroleum refining, which
is the source of by far the largest share of industrial
products, consists almost entirely of catalytic
processes.
This two types of catalysts—petroleum refining
catalysts and chemical processing catalysts. With
petroleum refining catalysts, the difference in
refinery configurations in each region causes
different patterns of catalyst consumption.
8. Act. 3: Using a Heterogeneous Acid
Catalyst
in chemistry, homogeneous catalysis is a sequence of reactions that involve a catalyst in
the same phase as the reactants. Phase here refers to solid, liquid, vs. gas. Most
commonly, a homogeneous catalyst is co dissolved in a solvent with the reactants.
9. Cont. Activity
3
The result:
1. The pH paper in first 3 minutes of cup No.1 and 3 didn’t change . But cup No.2 change to
orange color .
2. No. 2 cup start to become more darker in 6,9, 12 and 15 minutes. But cup No.1and 3 didn’t
change.
3. That means that cup No.2 is an acidic.
4. When we add the baking soda in cup No.3, its start to bubbled and that mean that cup
No.1 is also acid but it takes time for react with the water.
10. Act. 4: Using a Metal Catalyst to
Degrade an Air Pollutant
In this activity we will investigate the catalytic conversion of ammonia into safe
molecules . More specifically as a class we will compare the performance of an iron
catalyst and two types of copper catalyst in breaking down or degrading ammonia .
Copper
granules
Copper
turnings
Iron
fiber
12. Act. 4: Using a Metal Catalyst to Degrade
an Air Pollutant
• The conclusion :
We found after the activity that the best catalyst that
change the ammonia to nitrogen and water is :
1. Copper granules .
2. Copper turning.
3. Iron fiber.
We use indicator called “Phenolphthalein” it color the
ammonia to pink to show the ammonia level.
In the activity we notice that the iron fiber had become
deactivated, or poisoned because it oxidation.
13. Act. 5: Using Photocatalysis
to Degrade a Water Pollutant
A photocatalyst is defined as a substance which is activated by adsorbing a
photon and is capable of accelerating a reaction without being consumed .
These substances are invariably semiconductors. Semiconducting oxide
photocatalysts have been increasingly focused in recent years due to their
potential applications in solar energy conversion and environmental
purification .

Editor's Notes
Disadv: it is hard to get the reactant to the surface
By product may deactivate (poison the catalyst)
This experiment ties in closely with light-harnessing reactions, photosynthesis, and even ozone depletion. As photocatalysis involves using solar energy to produce a reaction, it is one of the best ways, environmentally-speaking, to use catalysis.
