Introduction The nation’s high unemployment rate is a result of a severe drop in demand for goods and services. It’s not a reflection of longer-term structural changes in the economy but rather cyclical changes in the economy. The demand for goods has been limited because of tight credit‚ decreases in government budgets‚ suppression of demand by consumers and foreign markets‚ and the inability by the fed lower interest rates. Even with the low level of interest rates the Fed is currently practicing a tight

The national unemployment rate fell to 4.4 percent in October the lowest level of unemployment since May 2001. This is a sign of unexpected strength in the job market. [The unemployment rate is based on a survey of households‚ rather than the survey of employers used to calculate the payroll number. Unemployment does not include full-time students‚ the retired‚ children‚ or those not actively looking for a paying job.] The unemployment level is defined as the labor force minus the number of people

Rate of Osmosis vs Solute Concentration Introduction: In nature‚ the quest to reach equilibrium‚ or the state of rest or balance due to the equal action of opposing forces (http://www.dictionary.com). Osmosis and diffusion are two ways that cells reach this equilibrium‚ without exerting energy. Due to the unique nature of the phospholipid bilayer‚ small molecules can pass through the semipermeable membrane easily‚ through diffusion (https://www.biologycorner.com). Water‚ however‚ has a slightly more

reaction used to determine the experimental rate law of is 2I-(aq) + H2O2(aq) I2(aq) + 2H2O2(l). The rate law determined experimentally is rate= k[I-]1.017[H2O2]0.927. Additionally by performing essentially the same experiments but with temperature changes one can determine how k is affected by temperature changes and the new activation energy. Also‚ from graphs the activation energy was determined to be 33.3 kJ/mol. INTRODUCTION: The rate of a chemical reaction often depends on reactant
