    • 2 Pages

    Matter is a poorly-defined term in science (see below). The term has often been used in reference to a substance (often a particle) that has rest mass. Matter is also used loosely as a general term for the substance that makes up all observable physical objects.[1][2] All objects we see with the naked eye are composed of atoms. This atomic matter is in turn made up of interacting subatomic particles—usually a nucleus of protons and neutrons‚ and a cloud of orbiting electrons.[3][4] Typically‚ science

    Background: As heat is a form of thermal energy‚ they tend to have the behavior of reaching a thermal equilibrium. This means that when two bodies of different temperatures come in contact with each other‚ the hotter ones will transfer heat particles to the body with a colder temperature‚ with an aim to reach this “thermal equilibrium”‚ whatever the temperature may be. The larger the surface area‚ means there can be more “paths” from the sides of the body that are capable of releasing this heat particles

    Kinetics of an SN1 reaction: the effect of solvent on rate Object The purpose of this experiment is to determine the rate of hydrolysis in acetone/water (50/50 v/v and 60/40 v/v). Background and Theory An SN1 reaction of tert-butyl chloride takes place in two steps. First‚ the Alkyl Halide will leave the molecule. In this step the bond is breaking‚ which takes a longer amount of time‚ so it will determine the rate of the reaction. As a result‚ it forms a tertiary carbocation‚ since this

    What is a Theory? We often hear someone say “That’s just a theory” or on the contrary - “In theory and in practice‚ it always works.” This term may indeed hold in itself a somewhat ambiguous undertone‚ and lead to confusion and misuse. Let’s look at the origin of the word; according to an etymology dictionary‚ theory derives from the Greek “theoréo” which means ‘to look at’‚ ‘to observe’. The definition tells us that one must firstly observe a phenomenon so that a theory about a certain aspect

    Ah Seung Chong Molecular Biology CTW: Enzyme Kinetic Dr. Cruz 07/22/2010 Enzyme kinetics Introduction Enzymes are biological catalysts or assistants‚ without enzyme many of important processes of life could not happen. Most of enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions by lowering amount of activation energy needed for the reaction1. Enzymes are usually highly selective‚ only bind to specific substrate and convert it to product at a particular rate1. The rate of the reaction

    Haugh The Voice is What Matters Poetry is unique compared to other literary works in that in order to close the gap of emotional distance within the individual reader‚ the voice needs to be sincere. When a character is not relatable to the reader‚ it destroys the art of poetry. Berg explains in his essay “The Poetry Does Not Matter”‚ “I detest that man‚ who hides one thing in the depths of his heart‚ and speaks forth another” (Berg‚ x). Readers want to be able to relate to the work and not simply

    Heat pump From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation‚ search For theoretical background‚ see Heat pump and refrigeration cycle. Outdoor components of a residential air-source heat pump A heat pump is a machine or device that transfers thermal energy from one location‚ called the "source‚" which is at a lower temperature‚ to another location called the "sink" or "heat sink"‚ which is at a higher temperature. Thus‚ heat pumps moves thermal energy opposite to the direction that

    Introduction Specific heat is defined as the measure of the ability of a substance to change temperature. Specific heat of a substance is the heat needed to change the temperature of 1 gram of a substance once degree Celsius. The more Joules (unit of heat) needed‚ the higher the specific heat will be. The goal is to determine specific heat of a soil sample as compared to water. This difference has many ramifications regarding our climate‚ with local and global. Hypothesis I predict that after

    Grendel and Cain In the story of Beowulf you get a glimpse of many different themes throughout this epic. Those themes range from good and evil to those of death and glory. The story itself depicts a period in history when life was lead "blind" through the teachings of the book of the lord and his spoken words. At this same period in history traditional pagan religious practices and beliefs have slowly given way to the ideals and philosophy of Christianity. Many of the themes held within the pages
