The purpose of the Density Lab was to determine the identity of four unknown solids and two unknown liquids by calculating their densities and comparing them to a density chart, taking into account error analysis and finally classifying the substances. In order to calculate this density, we first found the mass of the container that was to be holding the substances. We then found the volume of the substance, and lastly determined the mass of the container and substance. We subtracted (Container + Substance) – Container to find the mass of simply the substance. In order to distinguish density, we took the final mass divided by the volume, and identified the substances based on Density Charts we found online. Originally we hypothesized that we would be able to identify these substances based on the densities we calculated, yet this proved to be harder than it seemed, however our hypothesis was correct. We now could concluded the densities and identification. The density of Unknown Liquid 1 was 1.26 which was found to be Colorless Glycerin (also density of 1.26) and Unknown Liquid 2 was 0.88 or Rubbing Alcohol (colorless). Unknown Solid 1 has a density of 7.20 or Iron, Solid 2 is 2.59 and Aluminum, Solid 3 is 5.47 and Tin, while Solid 4 has a density of 9.81and Nickel? We…

Sounds to me that Joy and her mother don’t get along very well; I wonder what put a strain on their relationship?[6]…
George Orwell, author of the modern classic 1984, wrote about the politics of his own era and prophesized a dystopian future in his novels. Some of his predications have proved to be terrifyingly accurate in describing some of the world’s nations after the year 1949. The North African country of Libya, for example, has recently been freed from the long, totalitarian rule of Muammar Gaddafi. Libya is now recovering from Gaddafi’s policies that kept the country isolated from most of the world and hurt its diplomatic relations, particularly with the West, almost beyond repair. From foreign policy to political theory, Orwell’s negative utopian vision and Muammar Gaddafi’s regime share many striking similarities.…
In Hemingway’s story “Cat in the Rain,” there are four characters; the husband, his wife, the innkeeper, and a maid. The focus of this story is on the wife’s want of a cat. The innkeeper resolves this issue but in the process makes the husband look bad. In fact in this story the husband appears insensitive, rude, and lazy; the innkeeper is contrasted as being completely the opposite of the husband. In this story it appears that innkeeper is a model of what this woman’s husband should be.…
