Properties of Water Water is essential for life as we know it on earth. It is used by plants and animals for basic biological processes which would be impossible without the use of water. The origin of all life can be traced back to the water in the Earth’s precambrien seas. Water is also the universal solvent. It reacts with more elements and compounds than any other substance known to man. Water is a polar molecule made up of on atom of hydrogen and two atoms of oxygen. It is attracted

DESCRIBE THE PROPERTIES OF ( FINE AND COARSE ) AGGREGATES ? REPORT Aggregates are defined as a combination of distinct parts gathered into a mass or a whole. They can increase stability of a structure and protect it from bad weather. In addition‚ aggregates can also increase quality and reduce price of the cements beacause of their greater volume stability and filling function. Therefore‚ it is important for civil engineers to understand properties of aggregates. Aggregates’ properties are the characteristics

An intensive property is a physical quantity whose value does not depend on the amount of the substance for which it is measured. For example‚ the temperature of a system in thermal equilibrium is the same as the temperature of any part of it. If the system is divided the temperature of each subsystem is identical. The same applies to the density of a homogeneous system: if the system is divided in half‚ the mass and the volume change in the identical ratio and the density remains unchanged. According

Observations and Chemical Changes By: Andre the Giant Higgson 02/19/14 CHE 107 E1 Intro to Chemistry 1 Objective Certain Chemicals like Bromthymol blue and Phenolphthalein can be added to other chemicals to determine acidity or basicity. Other reactions can be observed as well when different chemicals are added to each other. Procedure This experiment involved placing drops of specified chemicals into a well on a 96well plate. Each well number was recorded along with question number and name of chemicals involved

Step 1 A. EasyBeds is a hotel chain operating in Europe and recently expanded into the Asian market. The last two years it operates a small- capacity hotel in Shanghai. The strategy of the business is to provide customers with int’l service standards but at a significantly low cost base. As a result‚ their competitors are 5* hotels‚ but the level of their prices are just above 2 to 3* hotels. To manage that they offer their clients only basic services. In addition‚ their client mix includes both

lightning flashes account for only 25% of all total lightning flashes worldwide. Since the base of a thunderstorm is usually negatively charged‚ this is where most CG lightning originates. This region is typically at the elevation where freezing occurs within the cloud. Freezing‚ combined with collisions between ice and water‚ appears to be a critical part of the initial charge development and separation process. During wind-driven collisions‚ ice crystals tend to develop a positive charge‚ while a heavier
