Compostable Bioplastics

Bioplastics are plastics that decompose naturally in the environment.

They are often used as compostable materials because they can also
decompose in soil that is very good because it can due to the bacteria in the plastic.

According to a study in Germany, many composts made from kitchen and garden waste contain microplastics,
which are then found in the fields. This is a problem that happened in several different European countries like (France, Spain, Switzerland).

Here in Cameroon composting is not a common thing so won’t be such a problem but I believe it will be a positive thing for countries
in development like Cameroon because most of the food to compost in Cameroon do not have plastics they are mostly natural but if plastic was
compost it would be used with bioplastics and will make Cameroon increase their economy and lower pollution in the country.

Nutrients for agriculture:
The recovery of organic waste is undeniably a good ecological practice. Instead of being incinerated, kitchen and garden waste are transformed by microorganisms,
in the presence or absence of oxygen (it is then referred to as composting and fermentation respectively).
The composts and digest thus obtained are valuable sources of nutrients and humus,
which are used to enrich farmland.

Isomerization

Research: What are structural Isomers? Online definition: In chemistry isomerization is the process by which one molecule is transformed into another molecule which has exactly the same atoms, but the atoms have a different arrangement My definition: When the arrangement of a molecule is changed but still has all of the same atoms. (Alkanes) Examples : - Methane - Ethane - Propane - Butane VIDEO: Constitutional Isomers : Isomers that differ in connectivity Simple hydrocarbons such as; methane, ethane, and propane can not have constitutional isomers because there is no other way to connect them. There are 2 different butanes that re constitutional isomers.

Combustion Reaction🔥

Reactions Complete Versus Incomplete Combustion So there is something we call a complete combustion and the other a dirty combustion. Fuel such as petrol or methane, etc can undergo complete or incomplete combustion. When methane completes a complete combustion it produces carbon dioxide and water. When methane goes through an incomplete under a limited amount of air it produces carbon monoxide and water or carbon or water. What is Combustion? There are many types of combustion. But I believe the most known one is the combustion with methane which is the one I put above. Combustion can also be called burning. Combustion is an exothermic reaction which means it gives out heat. Reaction above is a combustion reaction. This the formula CH4 + 2O4 -----> CO2+ 2H2O * In order to know if a formula is perfectly balanced you need to know that there are the exact number of molecules on the rea

Combustion reaction by Doris Kra

Doris Kra 05/03/2019 Chemistry Miss. Block What is a combustion reaction A combustion reaction is when a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen and creates carbon dioxide and water. The formula for a combustion reaction is Hydrocarbon + Oxygen→ Carbon dioxide + Water. A combustion reaction is a common reaction in chemistry it can also be referred to as burning. A combustion reaction is a exothermic reaction because it is releasing heat or energy. (b) Some examples of a Combustion reaction are: Combustion reaction of Methane CH₄(g) + 2 O₂(g)→ CO₂(g) + 2 H₂O(g) Combustion reaction of Propane 2 C₃H₈(g) + 7 O₂(g) → 6 CO₂ (g) + 8 H₂O(g) Combustion reaction of Ethane
