Introduction of Lab 5: Analysis of a Zinc: Aluminum Alloy The analysis of a metal alloy was designed to learn how to use the Ideal Gas Law (formulas listed below) in a laboratory setting in relevance to acquiring moles of gas created‚ thus giving us one step closer to finding the molar mass. The importance of the Ideal Gas Law‚ as well as the other gas laws‚ is that it signifies the relationship between the properties of an ideal gas. These properties assist in the explanation of the Kinetic Molecular

Aluminum is the third most plentiful element in the earth’s crust. It is the second most widely used material in new cars and trucks in the world. Before aluminum foil was invented‚ food and other items were packed in tin foil. However‚ tin foil was too stiff to be malleable‚ and some experts feared that it might affect food adversely. History Although others have vied for the honor‚ history credits Hans Christian Oersted‚ a Danish chemist for the initial discovery of aluminum foil‚ 1n 1825. On

This experiment contains three separate procedures in which Aluminum Potassium Sulfate(Alum) will be melted‚ massed out and mixed with Barium Nitrate‚ along with distilled Water. Procedure one we completed two trials of melting two separate 0.01g of Alum and making a comparison to the literature temperature of 92.5‚ to do this we attached an Alum filled capillary tube to a thermometer and inside a beaker placed over a Bunsen burner. Procedure two consisted of placing 2.00 grams of Alum into a crucible

The Aluminum Industry in 19941 and Aluminum Smelting in South Africa: Alusaf’s Hillside Project2 1) Is primary aluminum production an attractive industry? Why or why not? Within the framework of the Structure-Conduct-Performance (SCP) model3‚ the primary aluminum production industry (“the industry”) in 1994 can be described as perfectly competitive. The industry is characterized by a large number of competing firms – the largest of which has only 4.1% of total industry capacity; homogeneous

Recommendation Although aluminum prices are at relative historic low today‚ we recommend that Alusaf go ahead with plans to construct the Hillside smelter plant. Based on the following analyses‚ we project the price of aluminum to rise to approximately $1‚590 per ton in 5 years. This price exceeds the minimum required level of $1‚416 per ton to yield Alusaf a positive net present value (NPV) on its initial plant investment of $1.6 billion.

When a beam is subjected to an external load there are unseen internal forces within the beam that one must be aware of when implementing it into any design or structure. These internal
