“Water is more important to human life than diamonds‚ yet tap water suppliers are less profitable than those selling diamonds. Using the concepts in MCS Chapter 3 as well as your general knowledge‚ explain why this profitability difference is likely to occur.” There are a couple of factors that come to mind when answering this question. First‚ lets look at the willingness to pay factor. We know from the text book that we can think of the product’s value to the customer as the highest price he/she

Chemical Proportionality (Carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid) Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is what happens when a solid substance‚ a metal carbonate is added slowly to a solution of an acid. We are finding methods of determining acid concentration. For us to balance certain equations‚ we will use a stoichiometry. For this experiment‚ we will need to set up the ratio and finding the concentration of HCI. Procedure: • Grab 4 different beakers. • Add a small amount of sodium carbonate

compare them‚ we can put on mind the The Diamond & Water Paradox‚ which was highly discussed in 18th & 19th century‚ and finaly resolved by Alfred Marshall and Adam Smith. The paradox is magically explained with an understanding of marginal utility and total utility. People are willing to pay a higher price for goods with greater marginal utility. As such‚ water which is plentiful has enormous total utility‚ but a low price because of a low marginal utility. Diamonds‚ however‚ have less total utility because

Summary What are the secrets of India’s success in information technology? By using Porter’s Diamond Model‚ this article tries to answer that question. Based on the analysis‚ it seems the only determinant in the Porter’s Diamond that creates India’s success is Factor Condition (i.e. the Indian intellectual capital and “Indian connection” in Silicon Valley). The supporting determinant outside the diamond is the outsourcing trend in current global competition‚ which can be considered as the Chance

Abstract Chemical equilibrium occurs when a reversible reaction is happening forward and backward‚ at the same time by the same amount‚ is equal. Two procedures were made. First is the Effect of Concentration on Equilibrium. The solution became orange when it was diluted with ammonium hydroxide and the solution became yellow when water was added to the solution. In the second‚ Effect of Temperature on Equilibrium‚ the solution turned into a light brown gas when it was placed in the refrigerator
