My microclimate report of My Garden Microclimate is the climate of a small area within a larger area‚ my garden. I was given the task of investigating the microclimate of my garden and recording what I found. The warmest place was site 3 with a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius In site 3 there is a low albedo so heat is absorbed therefore the temperature is higher here on a warm day the aspect of this site is south west so this results in this part of the garden being warmer‚ because places facing

Introduction The primary objective of this lab is to be able to determine the specific heat of a reaction by using a calorimeter. A calorimeter is a device used to determine the specific heat of chemical reaction or a physical change. The specific heat a reactions is used to refer to the amount of heat that is lost or gained when one gram of a particular substance increases or decreases by one degree Celsius. When a chemical reaction occurs in an open container most of the energy gained or lost

Ondiano‚ Eliza L. MSEST – 1 CENTRIFUGATION Centrifugation is a process which through rapid spinning imposes high sustained centrifugal force on suspended particles‚ or even molecules in solution‚ and causes separations of such matter on the basis of differences in densities. More-dense components of the mixture migrate away from the axis of the centrifuge‚ while less-dense components of the mixture migrate towards the axis. Effectively‚ the centrifuge substitutes a similar‚ stronger force

Comment on the forecasting system being used by Yankee. What would be the smoothing forecast for Yankee for Month 1 of Year 5 using the four Month 1 data points in each of the last 4 years using an alpha of .3. (the demand for Month 1 of year 1 is the most historical data point.) Do this manually setting the very first forecast equal to the very first demand value)

Specific Heat of a Metal Post-Lab I. Purpose The purpose of this lab is to determine the specific heat of an unknown metal. II. Safety Wear goggles and lab apron at all times. Use caution when boiling water. Do not pick up hot beaker or hot metal with hands. Use tongs. III. Pre-Lab Questions 1. A 12.5 g metal is raised to 100C in boiling water. It is put into 82.8 g of water at 22.4C‚ and the water rises to 28.6C. Recalling that the specific heat of water is 4.18J/gC‚ use the equation above

Conclusion My hypothesis was if the temperature increases the Vitamin C content will decrease. The results indicate that my hypothesis was wrong; temperature does not affect the content of Vitamin C left in the orange juice. Future Considerations If I were to conduct this project again I would measure the temperature more accurately‚ conduct more trials‚ keep the juice at a high temperatures for a longer time and use another juice with a lot of Vitamin C content. The purpose of this experiment
