a 2 Old mine workings are often the cause of the pollution of mountain streams One of the main
chemical responsible for such pollution is iron pyrites, Fe2, in which iron has an oxidation state of

a 7 he most remarkable property of water is that it is a liquid at room temperature found on Earth
Even more interesting is the polar nature of water he polar nature of water means that most ionic
compounds can dissolve in water But hydrogen bonding also means that polar covalent molecules,
sugars and amino acids, for example, are also soluble in water

In common with other catalysts enzymes provide an alternative reaction pathway that has a lower
activation energy barrier than the uncatalyzed reaction
Most inorganic catalysts catalyze a range of reactions involving similar substances hey are able to
function over quite a wide range of temperatures and pressures Although they are able to produce
significant effects in speeding up reactions, their effectiveness as catalysts has been minimized by

the fact that nanoparticles can have very different properties from their related bulk materials Many
applications only require very small amounts of nanoparticles, so this reduces risks considerably
