In this episode, we talk about addition polymerisation. Addition polymerisation is a process where numerous short-chain monomers, specifically alkenes, combine to form a single long-chain polymer. This occurs because the carbon-carbon double bonds in the alkene monomers break, enabling them to link together. Notably, the resulting polymer is the so…

In this episode, we discuss food farming techniques. Achieving global food security requires more efficient food production methods. The amount of energy transferred between trophic levels in food chains has implications for food production efficiency because only a fraction of energy is passed on. Shortening food chains can, therefore, increase ef…

High birth rates, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, exacerbate the issue. The emergence of new agricultural pests and diseases, coupled with the increasing frequency of extreme weather events…
  continue reading
 
In this episode, we discuss the properties of hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbon characteristics are directly influenced by their chain length. Specifically, longer hydrocarbon chains exhibit elevated boiling points and increased viscosity, meaning they are thicker and less prone to flow. Conversely, hydrocarbons with extended chains demonstrate reduced fla…

Water surplus and deficit are determined by the balance between water availability and the needs of an area's population, agriculture, and economy. A surplus indicates water security, where supply exceeds demand for drinking water, while a deficit signifies water insecurity, where demand outstrips supply. Demand is influenced by population size, de…

In this episode, we discuss deforestation. Deforestation, the clearing of forests for purposes like agriculture and biofuel production, has significant environmental repercussions. One key impact is the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide due to burning trees and reduced photosynthesis. Habitat destruction is another consequence, leading to biod…

In this episode, we discuss changing voltage output. A battery's voltage is not a fixed property but can be adjusted through its components. Specifically, altering the materials used for the electrodes impacts the voltage, with more reactive metals creating a higher output. Furthermore, the chemical environment provided by the electrolyte influence…

In this episode, we discuss food surplus & food deficit. Global food dynamics are characterised by a stark contrast between nations with food surpluses and those facing food insecurity. While countries like China, India, and the USA are major food producers, several nations, particularly in Africa and the Middle East, struggle with providing enough…

In this episode, we look into land use. Human expansion leads to the destruction of peat bogs to make way for farming, fuel and garden compost. Peat bogs are composed of partially decayed plants that store carbon, preventing its release into the atmosphere. However, the destruction of these bogs causes the peat to decay or be burned, releasing sign…
  continue reading
 
In this episode, we discuss reaction profiles and chemical bonds. Chemical reactions involve the breaking and forming of bonds, with energy changes occurring in the process. Bond breaking requires energy input and is thus endothermic, while bond formation releases energy and is exothermic. The overall energy change of a reaction can be determined b…
