What is the chemical formula for ozone gas?

Ozone is present in the troposphere, a part of the atmosphere. Ozone consist of 3 molecules of Oxygen. The chemical formula for ozone is O3. Ozone is also called as tri-oxygen since it consists of 3 molecules of oxygen bound to each other by covalent bonds. The structure and formula of ozone were identified in the year 1865. However, it is less stable than Oxygen and blue in color.

How does ozone form in the stratosphere?

Ozone is found in both, the stratosphere and the troposphere. The formation of ozone in both these layers is distinct. Stratospheric ozone is formed in two simple steps. Initial step involves ...

Full title- A COMPARISON OF THE INHIBITORY EFFECTS OF METAL IONS

Enzymes are an essential part for the functioning of the human system. Most of the enzymes require binding of metal ions and other non-protein components for their appropriate functioning. Such non proteins, which facilitate the functioning of enzymes, are called cofactors. The cofactors can be an organic cofactor as Thymine Pyrophosphate (TPP), Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide (FAD), Nicotinamide Adenine dinucleotide (NAD); or inorganic cofactors like metal ions, Mg2+, Cu2+, Mn2+, Zn2+ and Iron-sulphur clusters. When the enzyme is bound to a cofactor, ready to carry out its function, it is known as a ‘Holoenzyme.' An enzyme without a ...

Minerals are classified by their chemical composition as Silicates, Phosphorites, carbonates, and halides are all major mineral groups.

Silicates contain silicon (Si) and oxygen (O), the two most abundant elements in the earth and comprise the majority of Earth's crust. They have a chemical formula SiO2. Common silicate minerals include olivine, pyroxene, amphibole, mica and quartz.

Phosphorites are sedimentary rocks of biochemical origin and are rich in phosphate with chemical formula PO4. They are mostly used as chemical fertilizers. They are also used as food preservatives, anti-corrosion agent and also in the field of metallurgy. Limestone and mudstone are common phosphate bearing rocks.Carbonates are the minerals mostly found in the Earth’s near surface crust. They have ...

Introduction:

The analysis was conducted so as to study the behavior of two stocks i.e Commonwealth Bank of Australia and ABM resources. We began our analysis using various financial and government websites. For Instance, the risk free rate was derived from RBA, Australia using 30 Day Bank Accepted Bill as a proxy. On the other hand, all the stock related and market index(S&P 500-APX 200)information was derived from Yahoo Finance. We concluded the report by conducting a regression analysis between the excess return of each stock over risk free rate and excess return of market index over risk free rate

1.) Break-even analysis is an important tool, which helps to define the level of sales needed for the company to break even. The basic formula for calculating the break-even point is (fixed costs)/(selling price – variable cost per unit), however in some instances this formula is further adjusted for noncash items, in order to evaluate the break even position from the cash flow prospective only. The independent variables in this calculation are selling price as well as fixed and variable costs, while the dependent variable is the level of sales, needed to break even. This relatively easy ...

Spectrophotometry refers to a method that is employed in the determination of the amount of light that is absorbed by a chemical substance. In chemistry, the term spectrophotometry refers to the determination of the reflection or transmission characteristics quantitatively material through a function of wavelength (NIST, 2012). The spectrophotometry analysis is carried out through the light intensity determination as a beam of light passes through a tube containing the sample solution. The process of analyzing solution concentration using spectrophotometer utilizes the fact that light possesses a dual nature. This is where the light may exist either as particle or as a wave (Keller, 2003).

John Maynard Keynes (5th June 1883-21st April 1946) was one of the founders of modern macroeconomics. He was a British Economist, and he was in the Keynesian economics school of thought. His main contribution towards macro economics was the formulation of the Theory of Employment. His theory of employment opposed what the Classical Economists proposed.

In the theory of Employment, Keynes argues that the main cause for unemployment was insufficient expenditure in investment. Keynes argues that unemployment is as a result of rigidity in wages. The low demand for output and workers to perform a job causes involuntary unemployment. The classical economist ...

1. Bevan Industries’ current cost of capital

Discussed hereunder is the step by step calculation of Bevan Industries’ current cost of capital (Barber, 2004).

Cost of Debt (Cd)
Cd = I (1 - TR)

Where I is the Interest Rate on Debt

TR is the Tax Rate
Cd = {(30,000,000 X 0.06) / 25,000,000} X (1 – 0.28)

= 0.072 X 0.72 = 0.05184

= 5.184%

Cost of Common Stock (Ccs)

Based on the given information, the cost of common stock is calculated using the formula
Ccs = Cd + risk premium
rf = (20 X 8) / 160 = 1 (rf is the risk free rate)
Ccs = 5.184 + 0.75(1)

= 5.934%.

Cost of Preferred Stock (Cps)
