The Oceanic Corporation (Determining the Cost of Capital) Larry Stone wants to estimate the firm’s hurdle rate because it is a benchmark for how well the company needs to do on a project in order to at least break even. The higher the hurdle rate‚ the riskier the project will have to be and the lower the hurdle rate is‚ the safer the project will be for a company. A company should strive for a financing mix that minimizes the hurdle rate and matches the assets being financed. If there

Determining Order from Rates of Reactions AP Chemistry Purpose The focus of this experiment is to recognize that when aqueous solutions of potassium iodate ion (KIO3-) and bisulfite ion (HSO3-) are mixed‚ a series of reactions will occur‚ and the final reaction is signaled by the appearance of a dark blue color. My partners and I investigate how the concentration of the reactants affects the rate of reaction. The purpose of this lab is to find

Introduction The purpose of this lab was to explore the properties of an unknown compound. An unknown was given and a cation flame test and anion test was performed to determine the identity of the compound. Once the identity was determined‚ the properties were explored. Experimental To determine the cation of the compound‚ a cation flame test was performed. A bunsen burner was lit until a medium blue flame was burning. The given unknown was scooped onto a nichrome wire loop. The wire was held

Determining an enthalpy change of a displacement reaction Aim: To determine the enthalpy change for the displacement reaction between zinc powder and copper (II) sulphate solution. Zn (s) + Cu2+ (aq) → Cu2+ (s) + Zn2+ (aq) Theory: For the displacement reaction‚ an excess amount of zinc powder is added to the measured amount of aqueous copper (II) sulphate. The temperature change over a period of time has to be measured and thus‚ the enthalpy change for the reaction can be measured. The equation

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION A. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM This study aims to find out how long a lemon (Citrus limon) can last as a lemon battery powering a digital clock. B. HYPOTHESIS The researcher assumes that one lemon would last for a day or two and that the usage of more lemons would entail a longer battery time. C. OBJECTIVES Specifically‚ it aims to: 1) come up with a quantity-longevity ratio with the use of a varied quantity of lemons in the production of a lemon battery 2) find

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions by lowering the amount of activation energy needed to start the reaction and let the reaction occur at temperatures found in living cells. The way that enzymes do this is explained with the lock and key hypothesis. This hypothesis says enzymes have a specific shape called the active site which is different between different enzymes. Molecules called the substrate that participates in the reaction also have a specific shape that can
