is not even recognized. When the war began in 1861‚ the confederate and union states began taking in prisoners. These prisoners of war were treated very poorly‚ and some prisons saw a death rate of twenty-five to twenty-nine percent (Hall). Prison camps were described as having conditions worse than the battlefields. Every day‚ prisoners were fighting for their lives rather than fighting for their country. By 1862‚ both armies had large numbers of prisoners. The confederate states began with the

A buffer solution can maintains a narrow range of pH even when strong acid are added. In our experiment‚ we can see water is not a buffer‚ water can undergo very big changes when small amounts of strong acid or strong bases are added. When the strong acid‚ 100µl HCl was added into the dd water‚ the pH value changed from 7.38 to 5.83 which mean the dd water has turn into acid. The same phenomenon occurs while strong base‚ 100µl NaOH was added into the dd water. The pH value changed from 7.07 to 9

If a person was condemned to Camp 22‚ nobody missed them. Those who once loved them wouldn’t know if they were dead or alive. Camp 22 held no secrets when boasting one of the highest death rates of inmates in North Korea‚ maybe even the world. Kwan was relieved his life would soon be over.

Electrolytic Solutions Solutions are sometimes grouped according to their ability to conduct electricity. Substances whose solutions conduct electricity are called electrolytes and those that do not conduct electricity are called nonelectrolytes. Also electrolytes can be strong or weak. Under strong electrolytes we have NaCl and CaCl2 which are ionic compounds‚ HCI‚ HNO3‚ HBr and H2SO4 are under acids and NaOH‚ KOH‚ and LiOH are under bases. Weak electrolytes are ionic compounds and slightly
