Investigation Followup PROCEDURE The purpose of this experiment is to test different minerals to see where on the Mohs hardness scale they would fit. My question and problem‚ “What mineral is the hardest out of all?” My hypothesis is by looking at all mine minerals‚ amethyst is the hardest mineral‚ followed by opal‚ than apatite‚ then halite‚ than graphite and the muscovite will be the softest mineral. To begin this experiment‚ I purchased and gathered all my materials

Percent Water in a Hydrate PURPOSE To determine the percent water in a hydrate sample. INTRODUCTION Many substances contain water molecules as a part of their crystal structure. We call such solids hydrates‚ and we call the bound water the water of hydration. A hydrate has a definite number of water molecules bound to each anhydrous salt unit. The formula of the hydrate copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate is CuSO4 · 5 H2O The dot indicates that the molecules of water are attached to the ions in

Mechanical Testing: Impact and Hardness Testing ME-3701-02 3rd March 2009 Ke Chen Abstract This experiment‚ as may be derived from the title‚ involves testing multiple metallic specimens to determine their toughness‚ strength and hardness. The three tests used to determine these characteristics are called the Charpy Impact test‚ tensile strength test and Rockwell Hardness test. As stated by www.key-to-steel.com {1}‚ “Charpy impact test method for metallic materials is specified by European

Emilia Monroe August 27‚ 2014 Experiment #01 The Determination of the Percent of Water in a Compound CHEM 1315-022 For experiment one‚ The Determination of the Percent of Water in a Compound‚ the sole purpose of conducting this experiment was to determine the percent of water found in compounds such as Magnesium Sulfate‚ Copper Sulfate‚ and so on. Along with determining the percentages of the hygroscopic compounds the experiment allowed for the exploration of separation of hydrogen bonds

Determination is a positive emotion that involves persevering towards a difficult goal in spite of obstacles.[1][2] Determination occurs prior to goal attainment and serves to motivate behavior that will help achieve one’s goal. Empirical research suggests that people consider determination to be an emotion; in other words‚ determination is not just a cognitive state‚ but rather an affective state.[3] In the psychology literature‚ researchers have studied determination under other terms‚ including

ELECTROLOYSIS OF WATER: DETERMINATION OF THE FUNDAMENTAL ELECTRONIC CHARGE PURPOSE: The fundamental electronic charge of water will be determined. A system of collecting the formation of H2 and O2 using two inverted glass collections tubes and a 1-L beaker filled with water will be setup. An electrolyte (H2SO4) will be added to water to make it an electrical conductor. A small amount of electricity will be applied to the water (roughly 400 mA) to oxidize the oxygen and reduce the hydrogen

Determination In “The Glass Castle” we see many different possibilities pertaining to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. We see the father‚ Rex and one of the daughters‚ Maureen‚ who fall victim to Maslow. Then there’s Jeanette and the mother‚ Rose Mary who have both seemed to achieve self-actualization regardless of their hardships. Traditionally‚ Maslow’s Hierarchy is thought to be achieved by working up from the bottom of the pyramid to get to the top. However‚ in “The Glass Castle” this is not particularly

change of the water in the aluminium can • Can used as calorimeter • Mass of water in calorimeter • The room temperature (environment) It is important that the controlled variables are all kept the same because it makes the experiment more reliable and accurate. Ways to ensure that the controls are kept the same is to record the measurements of the equipment and substances being used such as the distance from the top of the wick to the bottom of the can and the mass of the water inside the can

My hypothesis for this Experiment is that a mineral is able to scratch a mineral with a lower number and can‚ therefore be scratched by a mineral with a higher number. A mineral’s density is the amount of matter in a given space (mass/volume). Each mineral has a characteristic density (density
