analysing the graph‚ you can see that there is a relation between the rate of reaction and the surface area. The larger the surface are‚ the faster the rate of reaction seems to be. However‚ although the grain with the largest surface area (the smallest grain) reached the highest point within the shortest amount of time‚ its end result was still lower then the medium sized grain. The explanation for this result is relatively easy. The rate of a chemical reaction can be increased by increasing the size

Introduction We are going to do an experiment to see how surface area effects the rate of reaction when added to hydrochloric acid. I will add calcium carbonate (marble chips) to hydrochloric acid. When calcium carbonate is added to hydrochloric acid a reaction takes place. The solution fizzes and gives off the gas carbon dioxide. I will collect this gas in a gas syringe and will time how long it takes for the reaction to produce 100cm3 of carbon dioxide. CaCO3 +2HCL Co2 +CaCl2 +H2O CalciumHydrochloricCarbonCalciumWater

The social rate of return to education looks at the positive externalities of schooling‚ e.g. faster innovation‚ enhanced productivity‚ and the accrued benefits for the entire community. To give an estimation of its magnitude‚ social costs and social gains of education must be considered. Costs comprise the public spending destined to education‚ that usually represents one of the top three public expenditure recipients. The benefits are the sum of the private returns for each citizen and the benefits

Declining Birth Rate Introduction Our country’s population is declining since the many campaigns were launched in order to allow citizens to not reproduce so rapidly. Singapore’s total fertility rate (TFR) has been on a general decline. The last time that the TFR of the resident population (comprising Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents) was above the replacement level of 2.1 was in 1976. The resident TFR was 1.20 in 2011. Thus‚ we can conclude that Singapore’s total fertility rate has been

BMR (basal metabolic rate) Basal metabolic rate (BMR)‚ and the closely related resting metabolic rate (RMR)‚ is the amount of energy expended while at rest in a neutrally temperate environment‚ in the post-absorptive state (meaning that the digestive system is inactive‚ which requires about twelve hours of fasting in humans). The release of energy in this state is sufficient only for the functioning of the vital organs‚ the heart‚ lungs and kidneys and the rest of the nervous system‚ intestine‚

3) What proportion of the terminal value must be distributed to Comet Capital to produce its required 25% before-tax rate of return? In order for Comet Capital to produce its 25% before tax return‚ they must receive about $73.5M terminal value. This amount is about 69% of the total terminal value at the end of year 7. 4) What are the forecasted cash flows‚ rates of return on investment‚ and value created for Burns and Irvine under the debt and equity financing alternatives?
