of the Enthalpy of an Acid-Base Reaction Abstract The purpose of this lab was to first‚ determine the specific heat capacity of a homemade calorimeter‚ and second‚ to calculate the enthalpy of reaction for an acid-base reaction between 6M KOH and 6M HNO3. To determine the specific heat capacity of the calorimeter‚ two differing temperatures of water were measured and volume was measured and mixed within the calorimeter. The enthalpy of reaction for an acid-base reaction was found by these

form of lower sales. Base on the view of culture metaphor‚ organizational culture is not a simple mirror of social reality but a framework for understanding (Slvesson). It is‚ however‚ important to reflect carefully upon the ideas‚ beliefs‚ and values that are important as subjects in organizational life and to distinguish between ‘key symbols’-symbols that play a vital role in terms of cognitive mapping‚ inspiring action‚ or summarizing emotions (Ortner‚ 1973). Base on this metaphor‚ sub goals

of ointment base. The types of ointment bases used as vehicles for drugs are selected or designed for optimum delivery of the drugs and also to contribute emolliency or other quasi-medicinal qualities. Ointments properties vary since they are designed for specific uses‚ ease of application or extent of application. The purpose of the lab was to learn the difference between different types of ointment bases. In this experiment‚ we learned how to measure the ability of each ointment base to incorporate

One type of an extraction technique is the acid-base extraction‚ which is used to separate organic compounds from a mixture based on their acid-base properties.1 There are certain principles that must be taken into account when

Another reason why this is a strong acid is that its conjugate base has strong resonance stabilization
