In the short story “the Cold Equations” by Tom Godwin the author shows that sometimes you must sacrifice your self for the life of others even if you dont want to, through dialouge and conflict. In the story Marilyn is saying goodbye to her brother before she chooses to die “ Goodbye, Gerry.” This shows that she is sacrificing her self and is saying good bye to her brother because she has no choice and understands that she has to in order to save others. Here we see that she is getting ready to die…

1.0 Introduction The transfer of heat normally involves the change in temperature of an object with high temperature to another object with lower temperature. According to the First Law of Thermodynamics, heat transfer changes the internal energy of both systems involved. As such, the three modes of heat transfer are; Conduction, Convection and Radiation. According to C.R. Nave (Hyper Physics, 2010), conduction is heat transfer by means of molecular agitation within a material without any motion…

capacity of the calorimeter is determined, that is, the amount of energy needed to raise its temperature by 1°C (or K). In order to do this, a known mass of cold water will be added to a known mass of hot water in the calorimeter. As heat is lost by the calorimeter and by the hot water while begin absorbed by the cold water, the following equation can be used to determine the calorimeter’s heat capacity: . The calorimeter used is not a sealed system. Consequently, the reactions occur at constant pressure…

The goal of this preparative experiment was to create acetaminophen through a Nucleophilic Acyl Substitution reaction. In this reaction, p-aminophenol reacted with acetic anhydride to create acetaminophen. The new skills learned include vacuum filtration, and decolorizing of the crude product. In the experiment, vacuum filtration was used to extract any solution from the crude product so that all of the solid crude product could be well collected and for purification purposes as well. Decolorization…

If there is no presence of oxygen then the cycle goes directly to ethanol lactic acid and glycolysis, this whole process is called fermentation. Our formula for when there is no oxygen present is Also 2atp and 2H2O are the products of this equation. This process is called anaerobic. If there is a presence of oxygen then the formula changes to This includes 36 ATP. The point of this experiment is to see the rate of a reaction of carbon dioxide happening in the yeast at different temperatures…

prepared and to this solution, 1.5mL of pyridine was added slowly while stirring, followed by 3mL of silver nitrate solution (5% w/v, 8.83E-4 mol). The solution was cooled to below 10 °C and the orange solid formed was filtered, washed with 5mL of ice cold water, then twice with 5mL of alcohol. The above amount of reagents yielded 0.158 g (43.04%) of [Ag(py)4]S2O8. RESULTS Table 1 REACTIONS OF PEROXODISULFATE AND HYDROGEN PEROXIDE Reactions Peroxodisulfate Hydrogen Peroxide 1) Acidified…

CHEMISTRY DOT POINT SUMMARY TOPIC NAME 1. Fossil Fuels provide both energy and raw materials such as ethylene, for production of other substances. STUDENTS LEARN ABOUT: a) Construct word and balanced formulae equations of chemical reactions as they are encountered b) Identify the industrial source of ethylene from the cracking of some of the fractions from the refining of petroleum. Cracking is the name given to the chemical process of breaking large hydrocarbon molecules into smaller…

plenty of more treaties that were very important. Jimmy Carter was the type of President that was for people, not just the people in the United States but all around the world. Mr. Carter was all for human rights. You will be reading questions and summaries of President Carter. Why the energy policy? The import of oil has risen to 65 percent in a year’s times by 1973, and in 1976 the country was using about 25 percent of OPEC products. America was wasting energy, about 2.3 times for a country in the…
