LAB ACTIVITY 1 MEASUREMENTS IN SCIENCE: MASS‚ VOLUME‚ AND DENSITY Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is find the density of two metals using their mass and volume. Introduction: The purpose of the experiment that was conducted was to measure and calculate the density of two different metals. Density is an important characteristic of a material. The density of an object shows how much mass is contained in the unit volume. To calculate the density of metals the experimenters had to find

Copper is an element that occurs in minor amounts in the earth’s crust. Estimates of average crustal prevalence are on the order of 0.0058 percent by weight. Deposits considered to be economically recoverable at current market prices may contain as little as 0.5 percent of copper or less‚ depending on the mining method‚ total reserves‚ and the geologic setting of the deposit. Here is the flow sheet on how to process copper from Zenith. Copper Process Flow Sheet: Copper ore is first quarried from

The Effect of Metal Ions on Lichens Casey Stinnett ESC 1510 October 30‚ 2014 Introduction Lichens are a sybiotic association of fungus (mycobiont) and algae (Pediastrum boryanum . The fungus engulfs the algae‚ then supplies carbs‚ nitrogen‚ and vitamins while the algae photosynthesizes. This unusual relationship enables the lichen to grow in environments where neither fungus nor algae would normally be able to solely survive. They are found on every continent‚ ranging all the way from

Boys’ Code of Conduct In the article “How Boys Become Men”‚ written by John Katz‚ he analyzes situations he experienced while growing up. Katz believes that boys become men by not showing fear or feelings and not ratting on others. As in the novel‚ The Other Wes Moore‚ both Weses are forced to become men at an early age. They experience events that push them to make decisions that make them grow and think like men do. Katz details the maturation process for boys‚ as the book‚ The Other Wes Moore

Study of Krebs cycle using Mitochondria from Mung Bean Seedlings INTRODUCTION The mitochondria is a very important organelle in the plant cell because it carries out very important cellular reactions in the cell like the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation which is how the plants produce ATP from the pyruvate produced through glycolysis (Meyer and Millar‚ 2008). Glycolysis produces a net of 2 ATP for the plant which is not enough for the cell to function while the Krebs cycle and electron

Introduction/ Purpose: Stoichiometry is the study of the quantitative‚ or measurable‚ relationships that exist in chemical formulas and also chemical reactions. The calculations of a stoichiometry problem depend upon balanced chemical equations. The coefficients of the balanced equations indicate the molar ratio of the reactants and products taking part in the reaction. There are three major categories of stoichiometry problems such as mass-mass‚ mass-volume‚ and volume-volume. Convert to desired limit Molar

Purpose: To find out the densities and to find out the name of the unknown metals. (Based on the extensive and intensive properties) Check up the words mass‚ volume‚ density‚ extensive properties‚ and intensive properties. Where do the units for mass and volume) come from and what do they mean? What is the density of distilled water? What is Archimedes principle? Does temperature affect the density of a solid? Liquid? Gas? Materials: Safety glasses‚ 10‚ 25 or 50 mL graduated cylinders

Crystallization: Lab Report Theory/Introduction The purpose of this lab is to understand the concept of purification through crystallization. Crystallization is the process of purifying a substance‚ with the most adequate solvent. The process of crystallization came to be based on the principle of solubility. First‚ we must choose a solvent. The solvent is crucial to crystallization because it’s what will allow impurities to dissolve. Therefore‚ when selecting a solvent it is important that it
