During Ancient Greece‚ Pre-Socratic philosophers had turned away from religious teachings and sought to use “logic and theoretical reasoning to solve practical questions” (Cunningham 72). Through the power of human reasoning‚ many philosophers derived concepts and theories of the world’s fundamentality and the human existence. They examined several fundamental questions regarding the composition of the world and the possibility of unity of all things. As mentioned in the video‚ these philosophers

liquid level‚ separation power base‚ material balance split. Pressure has prime distillation control variable. This is because when the pressure is reduced‚ a surge takes place in vaporization. When the pressure increases‚ it can cause a surge in condensation. Therefore‚ the pressure has to run steadily during the process. Therefore‚ the best way to control column pressure is to manipulate a valve in a vent

The food I chose for this project is Creme brulee. I chose this food because it is interesting to see how the sugar gets caramelized with heat in a few seconds and it is delicious. The word‚ “Creme brulee‚” means a cream that is burned. The exact origin of this food is a mystery‚ but most people believe that it was first made in England. Also‚ Trinity College remade Creme brulee in a form that looks like today’s Creme brulee. This food has a custard cream at the bottom and a layer of caramelized

synthetic polymers such as the polycarbonate in our lab goggles are more committed to achieving comfort and pleasure in life. The best ways to classify synthetic polymers is by the chemical processes used to produce them; addition polymerization and condensation polymerization. Generally‚ three important reactions take place in addition polymerization: initiation (birth)‚ propagation (growth)‚ and termination (death). Addition polymers‚ commonly known as chain growth polymers‚ are made through a chain

Efficiency of an Incandescent Light Bulb Alex Mendez November 4‚ 2008 Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to examine the conversion of electrical energy to light and thermal energy as well as the efficiency of incandescent light bulbs. Procedure: To design this experiment we need to have a jar with water‚ temperature‚ and an voltage source. First‚ we poured 200 mL of water into a beaker then poured into a cup. We then stir up the water and measured the initial temperature of

be insulated by lifting the floorboards and laying mineral wool insulation supported by netting between the joists. Be careful not to block underfloor airbricks in your outside walls‚ as areas under floors require ventilation to prevent damp and condensation. Loft insulation acts as a blanket‚ trapping rising heat in the house. Without loft insulation you could be losing as much as 25% of your heat through your roof‚ so this type of insulation is a simple and effective way to reduce your heating

carbohydrate‚ all of which are useful to living organisms. The most important carbohydrate is probable glucose. Glucose is a monosaccharide and is the monomer unit which makes up more complex polysaccharides. Two glucose molecules can be joined in a condensation reaction‚ whereby water is removed‚ for example to produce maltose‚ a disaccharide. The bond between the glucose molecules is a 1-4 glycosidic bond. Glucose is also soluble‚ a reducing sugar and the blood sugar of mammals. It is respired to produce

important part of organic chemistry that has many practical applications. Esterification can be used to make polymers. In most cases‚ esters are used for scents – they often smell fruity and sweet. In general‚ an esterification reaction results from a condensation reaction between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol. The carboxylic acid group loses an OH group‚ and the alcohol loses and H. For instance‚ the reaction between methanoic acid and methanol is shown below COOH+CH_3 OH →CHOOCH_3+H_2 O Purpose The

it stays warm. Landforms‚ such as mountains‚ act as barriers that force air masses to move up and over them. When warm‚ moist air meets a mountain it is forced to rise. As this warm air rises‚ it begins to cool down with increased altitude and condensation occurs.
