Chemistry: The Element Of Nickel
The element of Nickel is number 28 which means it has 28 electrons and 28 protons (this is the atomic number). The atomic mass of Nickel is 58.71 g.mol^-1 which means that there are 30.69334 neutrons since you subtract the number of protons from the atomic mass to get the number of neutrons. The electronegativity of Nickel is 1.8 on the Pauling scale; this is the tendency of Nickel to attract a bonding pair of electrons. The density of Nickel is 8.9 g.com^-3 at 20°C and the melting point is 1454 °C. The physical properties of Nickel are that it is silver in color, magnetic, hard, ductile, and malleable. Since it is a metal, it also conducts electricity and heat. Nickel is used in coins because it remains shiny and also in magnets as an alloy

    Determination of % Composition of Pennies Using Spectroscopy

    In this lab, we will determine the percent composition of a modern (post-1982) penny by using a strong acid to react and dissolve the zinc core, leaving only the copper coating. Once only copper remains, we will compare its mass to the entire mass of the penny to determine how much of a penny is copper and how much is zinc.…

    Density Of Penny Between 1980 And 1980

    Based on the class data, the density of the penny changed dramatically between 1980 and 1985. From 1975 to 1980, the penny became 1.40g/mL less dense and from 1980 to 1985, the density dropped by 0.626. With this data and the percent composition equation we were able to determine that the second metal in the penny is Zinc with a density of 7.14g/mL. Using scholarly online sources, I was able to confirm this data concerning the second metal to be correct. The United States Mint’s website states that in 1962, the cent’s tin content was removed making the composition of the cent 95% copper and 5% zinc.…

    Nickel and Dimed Analysis

    In Barbara Ehrenreich's book "Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting by In America" we read about a middle aged journalist undertaking a social experiment of the greatest magnitude. The journalist is Ehrenreich herself and the experiment was to find out how a woman, recently removed from welfare, due to policy reform, would make it on a six or seven dollar an hour wage. The experiment itself started out as just a question in the middle of lunch with one of Ehrenreich's editors, it soon turned into a job assignment. Before starting the experiment, Ehrenreich laid out some ground rules for her to follow during the duration of the assignment. First she could never use her college degree, or other work experience to land a job. Second, she had to take the highest paying job that was offered to her, and do whatever she could to hold it. This means not quitting a job, no matter how grueling the work place environment was. Third, she had to find the cheapest living conditions she could find, with reasonable respect paid to personal safety, and basic privacy. Also before starting out Ehrenreich was sure to point out that while she did try to adhere to the rules as best she could, there was minor rule bending and occasionally rule breaking. The final problem Ehrenreich worked out before embarking on this journey, is how to market herself to the people she was about to work for and with. She decided to go with a cover story that was more of a succinct version of who she really is. While it is true that she is a divorced wife, it is untrue that she has not been employed over the past few years. This was required to keep from receiving preferential treatment, and to prevent her test environment from becoming tainted. Ehrenreich decided that since she already lived in Florida she might as well start there with her experiment, moving to nearby Key West, Florida. She shares in the opening that she…

    Nickel And Dimed Analysis

    In “Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America”, Barbara Ehrenreich, a well-off white woman with a Ph.D. in Biology questions how low-income workers, especially females, make a living. Due to the welfare reform, 4 million women were about to have to enter into the workforce, usually for less than minimum wage. Ehrenreich decides to make an experiment out of her ideas. She decided she would travel to three different cities: Key West, FL., Portland, ME., and Twin Cities, MN. (all picked based off of the low salary there), and attempt to live as a regular low-income woman. She wants to find out how they make their income work and what they do to get by. Ehrenreich makes a set of…

    Nickel And Dimed: A Comparative Analysis

    Although authors Barbara Ehrenreich and Matthew B. Crawford both obtain a higher degree from a university, both continue to work low-income jobs for different reasons. Ehrenreich believes minimum wage work is challenging in all aspects of the employment. She has the option to remove herself from this lifestyle but continues to stay in order to gain experience for her book "Nickel and Dimed". Crawford on the other hand finds a deeper appreciation for the working class, and even though he has an option to pursue a higher education career with his college degree he chooses to work as a mechanic for the love he has for the work. With both authors coming from similar backgrounds it's interesting to analyze how their ideas continue to differ dramatically.…

    Critical Review: Nickel and Dimed

    Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich is a mentally challenging read in more ways than one. In this book, Ms. Ehrenreich guides us through her adventure into starting over from the bottom of the social barrel. Her experiment with poverty begins with an agenda, a few amenities, some rules, and a lot of ambition to dive into her new lifestyle. The overall take from this book I received is one that left me critically thinking. Ehrenreich’s uses her arguments, examples, and evidence to state and support her conclusion: the working poor should be paid more. However, her final verdict is not one I am not entirely against, nor do I find it practical. After reading her story and doing some analyzing of my own, I’ve decided that her argument seems valid, yet, her conclusion standing alone does not.…

    Nickel and Dimed Analysis

    Looking at whether or not individuals living in poverty are considered to be a minority group by our contemporary culture is an interesting scenario. I’m a social work major so of course I want to think, yes, individuals living poverty are most definitely an oppressed group in society. Minimum wage is nowhere near to what could be classified as a living wage, and these positions often have little room for career advancement within the company. But I assume that what the question was getting at was whether or not those living in poverty are viewed as a minority group by America’s contemporary culture. The answer to that I believe is a “no.” People who belong to the upper and middle classes often don’t consider the fact that you can have a job yet still be living in poverty. A single parent may hold down two minimum-wage paying jobs, but still need a little help to make ends meet. And because they receive government assistance their hard work is ignored and they are simply viewed as lazy nuisances who are mooching off the middle classes’ tax dollars, not an oppressed minority group.…
