Background Information
What does waste incineration do to the environment ?
Incineration create the

largest source of dioxin, one of the most toxic chemicals. will lead to 3 types of dangerous pollutants heavy metal; unburned toxic chemical and new pollutants.

Burning hazardous waste

Background Information Continued

Which chemical reaction type is involved ?

The chemical reaction that is involved is decomposition. Trash gets incinerated creating a green house gasses that could harm the planet.

Background Information Continued

Why is recycling important ?
Recycling is important

because it reduces trash and does not damage the atmosphere including helping us waste less natural resources.

Purpose
What was the purpose on creating a recycled product ?
The purpose on creating

this recycled product is to reduce less chemicals in our air. This might show how much carbon dioxide is being produce and released into the air.

Procedures
Stuff we used Paper Plastic ( Milk Gallon ) What we did for the project is roll magazine papers horizontally until you reach the other end of the paper. Then weave them ( In & Out ) for the bottom is the same process. For the handles we

fold it in half. if this product was burned it would of made 122.8L of CO2.

Calculations
What type of plastics and papers did you have ? How many moles of each type of materials did you use ? The plastics that we used was Polyethylene and the type of paper that we used was cellulose Polyethylene = C2H4 Cellulose = C6H10O5 0.72gC2H4 1

x 1 mole = 0.026 moles of plastic 28g

25.59gC6H10O5 x 1mole = 0.15796 moles of paper 1 162g

What are the correctly balanced chemical reactions using your materials ? C6H10O5 + O2 CO2 + H2O Balanced Formula for PAPER C6H10O5+6Co2 6Co2+5H2O What are the correctly balanced chemical reactions using your materials ? C2H4+O2 CO2 + H2O Balanced Formula for PLASTIC C2H4 + 3O2 2CO2 + 2H2O

Conclusion

If we were to burn our project it would have created 112.8L of CO2. That would be 62, 2-litter soda bottles of CO2. We can stop this from happening by recycling our plastics and papers. This will help the atmosphere and mostly our earth.
