The uncertainty reduction theory was created with intention of giving an explanation to an everyday occurrence when encountering new people. The theory gives reason to something everyday people experience regularly without consciously thinking about it. Psychology had attempted to explain the emotional process of first encounters but never like this. Although a lot of thought and consideration had been put into this‚ there was no way it could consistently cover every aspect it addresses. Diving further

presence of a reinforcement can motivate an individual to repeat the behaviour more frequently. Drive-reduction theory argues that a primary or secondary drive motivates an individual to perform actions that will reduce the drive (Burton‚ et al.). Reduction of the drive is a form of reinforcement leading to the individual repeating the action more frequently (Burton‚ et al.). According to the drive reduction theory‚ sleep is a primary drive which is reduced‚ and thus‚ reinforced by the act of sleeping

9.1.1 Define oxidation and reduction in terms of electron loss and gain. Oxidation: the loss of electrons Reduction: the gain of electrons 9.1.2 Deduce the oxidation number of an element in a compound. Always determine elements that never change their oxidation number then ensure the charge of whole molecule is right. N.B. Atoms in elemental state have oxidation numbers of 0 9.1.3 State the names of compounds using oxidation numbers. Example of this in iron‚ can be iron(II) or iron(III) 9.1.4 Deduce

The purpose of this lab was to measure the reduction potentials of metals and to understand how a reduction-oxidation relationship works to produce spontaneity. Lastly‚ these results were used to determine the Faraday’s constant and Avogadro’s number by electrolysis‚ which is chemical decomposition produced by passing an electrical current through a solution with ions. The primary objective of part one of this experiment was to discover how the properties of an electrochemical cell works. An electrochemical

Running head: Budget 1 Budget Deficit Reduction Melissa Dick Budget Deficit Reduction History has a way of repeating itself and the budget deficit and attempts to reduce it are no exception. The budget deficit is an annual amount that the federal government sets forth based on the amount of tax revenue it receives. When the amount spent goes over the amount received‚ you have a deficit. The United States government and the economy has gone in cycles when the budget deficit

Cost Control and Cost Reduction A business enterprise must survive‚ grow‚ and prosper. Cost Control and Cost Reduction are activities necessary for ensuring that these objectives are fulfilled. With the liberalization of the Indian Economy and Globalization‚ there is now a cut throat competition from various concerns of the world. As a result there is now a race to secure a place for survival. This has increased the importance of cost control and Cost Reduction. Cost Control “Cost control

Delivering successful cost reduction programmes In the current economic climate‚ most organisations must face up to a prolonged period of extreme competition and funding restrictions. This is particularly the case if the past few years have been focused on growth‚ service improvement or reorganisation (i.e. cost efficiency has not been a recent priority). Such pressures require an approach that reduces costs in a strategic‚ disciplined‚ and sustainable manner - delivered at pace. In our view

Period 1 11/7/13 Chapter 35 Discussion Background: Potassium permanaganate is widely used as an oxidizing agent in volumetric analysis. In acid solution‚ MnO4- ion undergoes reduction to Mn2+ this is the equation: 8H+(aq) + Mno4-(aq) + 5e- Mn2+(aq) + 4H2O Since the KMnO4 – ion is violet and the Mn2+ ion is nearly colorless‚ the end point titrations using KMnO4 as the titrant can be taken as the first pink color that appears in the solution (and stays without disappearing).
