Atomic energy is energy produced by atoms. The term originated in 1903 when Ernest Rutherford began to speak of the possibility ofatomic energy.[1] The term was popularized by H. G. Wells in the phrase‚ "splitting the atom"‚ devised at a time prior to the discovery of the nucleus. Atomic energy also may refer to: * Nuclear binding energy‚ the energy required to split a nucleus of an atom * Nuclear potential energy‚ the potential energy of the particles inside an atomic nucleus * Nuclear

DATE PERFORMED: JULY 20‚ 2007 SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT FOR A REACTION ABSTRACT UV-VIS spectrophotometry is one of the most widely-used methods for determining and identifying many inorganic species. During this experiment‚ this spectrophotometry was used to determine the equilibrium constant‚ Keq‚ of the Fe3+(aq)+SCN-(aq)↔ FeSCN2+(aq) reaction. By determining the amount of light absorbed‚ the concentration of the colored FeSCN2+ solution was also quantitatively

Experiment No. 2: Dynamic Equilibrium and Le Chatelier’s Principle December 1‚ 2011 Final Formal Results Le Chatelier’s Principle states that “when a stress is applied to a chemical system at equilibrium‚ the equilibrium shifts in a direction that reduces the effect of stress” (Gross‚ Abenojar‚ and Tan 23). Moreover‚ it helps us “predict the direction of the shift of the equilibrium” (Silberberg 745). Silberberg also stated that there are three kinds of disturbances - concentration‚

TIDAL ENERGY [pic] *75% of the planet’s surface consits of water. Our water supply transformed a barren planet into a lush green garden of life with a multitude of biodiversity. Water has easily fufilled our every need in many ways. As we near the twentyfirst century‚ a time when public attention is focused on the environment and society is increasing at an ever accelerating rate‚ the energy crisis continues to burden us. Questions of what to do about increasing energy demands and future requirements
