Heat Treatment and Qualitative Metallographic Analysis Lab ME 3228: Mechanics & Materials Laboratory Summary Comparing a material’s initial treatment and the microstructures that are formed from different processes‚ an engineer can accurately understand why certain treated materials of the same family can be stronger than another. In this experiment annealed and cold-worked specimens of AISI 1018 STEEL are used‚ along with a Hardness tester‚ a grinding and polishing process‚ and a micrograph

Name: Name of lab partner: Date: Title: Determination of the valency of magnesium Objective: To study the quantitative relationship between the amount of reactant and products of a reaction. A known starting mass of magnesium and the measured collection of hydrogen gas will be used to determine the reaction stoichiometry and the valency of magnesium. Introduction: In Chemistry‚ stoichiometry is the study of the quantitative relationship between amounts of reactants and products of a reaction

Human Demography: The study of age-structured populations Lab Preparation: Read the lab and be on time. There will be a quiz. Also‚ we’ll be riding a bus to the field location. If you want to join us for lab‚ don’t miss the bus! Bring your lab manual‚ a hard notebook or clipboard‚ paper and charcoal (for rubbings) and wear warm‚ possibly waterproof clothes. We’ll be outside for a good portion of the lab regardless of the weather. Background: Demography Demography is the descriptive study

Acidic vs. Alkaline Introduction: Potential of hydrogen‚ or pH‚ is a scale used to express the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. The scale ranges from 0 to 14‚ below seven represents acidity‚ seven is neutral‚ and more than seven is basic. Acid-base indicators show whether the solution is acidic or alkaline. They do this by reacting with the solution‚ seen as a color change‚ as the concentration of hydrogen (H+) or hydroxide (OH-) ions changes in an aqueous solution. Different indicators

So in wood combustion we observe solid wood disappear and be converted to gas products‚ leaving only some ashes. These are formed by minor components of wood that cannot burn and remain solid. 1. Explain what happens to the mass of a tree when it catches fire and burns until only ashes remain. You must include a chemical equation; discuss the chemical reactions taking place‚ and the law of conservation of mass in your answer. The wood from the tree has undergone a chemical change. When you burn

8/2/15 Lab Report Experiment to measure the latent heat of vaporisation of water Theory Latent heat of vaporisation is when a liquid is heated enough to start boiling‚ at this point‚ even if the source of heat keeps heating the liquid‚ the liquid’s temperature will not rise any further until all of the liquid is converted to gas. For example‚ if water is boiling in a kettle‚ and the kettle is left on whist the water is boiling‚ the water’s temperature will not exceed 100°C because all the heat energy

and not on their identity. Why is the thermometer bulb positioned near the sidearm of the distillation flask instead of being dipped in the solution? Had you did it in the solution‚ the thermometer would have measured the temperature of the direct heat from the flame. However‚ what we want is the temperature at which a substance boils. Hence‚ by positioning the thermometer near the sidearm of the distillation flask measures the temperature of the vapour which is also the boiling point of that substance

Standard enthalpy change of combustion The standard enthalpy of combustion of a substance is defined as the enthalpy change that occurs when one mole of a substance is combusted completely under standard conditions. (298K and 1 atm)‚ all reactants and products being in their standard states Symbol ∆Hc CH4 (g) + 2O2 (g) CO2 (g) + 2 H2O (l) Incomplete combustion will lead to soot (carbon)‚ carbon monoxide and water. It will be less exothermic than complete combustion. Measuring the enthalpy change

heat exchanger is a device built for efficient heat transfer from one medium to another. The media may be separated by a solid wall‚ so that they never mix‚ or they may be in direct contact.[1] They are widely used in space heating‚ refrigeration‚ air conditioning‚ power plants‚ chemical plants‚ petrochemical plants‚ petroleum refineries‚ natural gas processing‚ and sewage treatment. One common example of a heat exchanger is the radiator in a car‚ in which the heat source‚ being a hot engine-cooling

material of the remains of plant and animal organisms that lived millions of years ago. These remains form sediments eg at the bottom of seas‚ and become buried under layers of sedimentary rock. They decay‚ without air (oxygen)‚ under the action of heat and pressure to form crude oil over millions of years. It is a fossil fuel because it is formed from once living organisms and the Sun is the original source of energy. It is a non-renewable and finite (limited reserves) energy resource because
