    Density Determinations

    The objective for experiment #2 was “to determine densities of objects/salt solutions with different concentrations of salt, to see how density changes as a function of concentration.” In experiment #2, part II, calculations of Density of NaCL solutions were made from 0%-25% NaCL concentration. My hypothesis was that as the % increased, so would the density, because adding weight would increase the density of each solution. The density calculations in part II, were precise and accurate within + 0.03 g/cm^3. The results for this experiment prove that as you increase % of NaCL, the density increases also because of the weight of NaCL is increased. Graph #1 shows that as the %NaCL increased so did the density, therefore proving the accuracy and precision of part II calculations. In part III, of the experiment, the density of regular shaped objects, were calculated based on volume measured method and water displacement method. My hypothesis for this part of the experiment was that volume measured method would be more accurate because water displacement method contains too many random errors. The density calculations of volume measured for part III were both more precise and more accurate within a standard deviation of + 0.06 g/cm^3, where water displacement method had a standard deviation of + 0.15 g/cm^3. Graph #2 shows the error was greater according to water displacement method when measuring the initial and final volume’s displaced with a standard deviation of + 2.0 g/cm^3. The average calculated density of the regular shaped objects compared to the graphical determination were within + 2g/cm^3 standard deviations. The accuracy and precision, when comparing the graph with the average calculated density, shows that human error when measuring water displacement can make a big difference in the outcome of the answer. The test tubes used to measure were only capable of measuring in 1 digit, where the calculations were…

    Why We Hate Hr

    The article Why We Hate HR by Keith Hammonds, deputy editor for Fast Company, discusses the ineffectiveness human resources have on a company. He very boldly argues that HRM’s striving to become involved in strategic business planning and to have “a seat at the table” are inhibited by the routine functions of HR and administrative expectations (Hammonds, 2005, p. 1). Hammonds’ article develops claims that lead up to his conclusion that HR is a wasted talent for a company to utilize to gain differentiation, competiveness, and value. The critiques Hammonds used to define human resources can be used to explore the potential value and capabilities HR has to offer a business and possibilities of a company gaining in the HR area of the work force.…

    Writing Assignment 1

    The main purpose of this article is to identify and inform the reader of the ever prevalent challenges faced by Human Relations Mangers, (HRM), around the globe in today’s new modern, global, business world. Many companies, and their senior leadership alike, still believe that an HR department really doesn’t produce anything and only costs the company a portion of its profits. Human Relations, (HR), departments can and should be much more productive than they have traditionally been. No longer do we have a typing pool next to the water cooler, and a part-time secretary down the hall to keep track of employee information and their stamp-clock time cards. HR departments are taking on duties that have previously belonged to supervisors, and play a vital part of any company that hopes to succeed in the future. Employee training, retention and compensation are all within the HR area of responsibility.…

    Expanded Awareness: As the amount of HR data within an organization has grown, so too has the need to glean better information from that data. Problems that HR organizations assumed were just part of “the cost of doing business” are now identified, acted on, and in many cases, prevented. HR business indicators that were previously only hinted at by virtue of an anomaly here or a trend there are conclusively determined.…

    Emerging Trends of Hrm

    The management has to recognize the important role of Human Resource Department in order to successfully steer organizations towards profitability. It is necessary for the management to invest considerable time and amount, to learn the changing scenario of the HR department in the 21st century. In order to survive the competition and be in the race, HR department should consciously update itself with the transformation in HR and be aware of the HR issues cropping up. With high attrition rates, poaching strategies of competitors, there is a huge shortage of skilled employees and hence, a company 's HR activities play a vital role in combating this crisis. Suitable HR policies that would lead to the achievement of the Organization as well as the individual 's goals should be formulated. HR managers have to manage all the challenges that they would face from recruiting employees, to training them, and then developing strategies for retaining them and building up an effective career management system for them. Just taking care of employees would not be enough; new HR initiatives should also focus on the quality needs, customer-orientation, productivity and stress, team work and leadership building. This book is divided into two sections that throw light on the emerging HR trends and discusses HR issues in various industries like financial services, IT, Power, Healthcare, to name a few. This book should be valuable for practicing HR managers of every organization and also for those who have a significant interest in the area of Human Resource Management, to realize the growing importance of human resources and understand the need to build up effective HR strategies to combat HR issues arising in the 21st century.…

    Laboratory Measurements and Density

    Laboratory Measurements and Density Objectives: A. To determine the density of Aluminum (lit. value = 2.7 g/cm3) by determining its mass, and measuring its volume by dimensional analysis and water displacement. We will also examine the % error in our determination based on the literature value. B. To determine the mass and diameter of select ball bearing. Plot graphs of mass vs. diameter, mass vs. surface area, and mass vs. volume. Afterwards use slop of the mass vs. volume graph to determine density. Procedure: 1. A. Weigh an aluminum cylinder on the analytical balance and record its mass to the nearest 0.01 g. • Using a Vernier Caliper, measure and record the height and diameter of the cylinder. • Using proper formula to determine the volume of the cylinder. A cylinder with radius r units and height h units has a volume of V cubic units given by V = πr2h, (r = ½ d). • Calculate density according to d = mass/volume. • Compare your calculated densities with the literature value for the density of Aluminum and determine the % error for each calculation. B. Add water to a graduated cylinder, read the volume (mL), carefully slide the aluminum cylinder into the water in the graduated cylinder and read the volume (mL) again. The difference between the after volume reading and the before volume reading, gives the volume attributed to the aluminum in mL. Calculate the density of the aluminum using the already determined mass and the displacement volume. C. From the known value for the cylinder’s density, which method has the better accuracy? Which method has the better precision? 2. Weigh 4 ball bearing (one at a time) on an analytical balance to the nearest 0.01 g. Record the mass of the bearing in increasing order. • Measure the diameter of each ball bearing using the Vernier Caliper, and record each value. • Calculate and record the surface area of each bearing using the equation (A = 4πr2). • Calculate and record the volume of each bearing using equation (V = 4/3πr3).…
