What is potential energy? Stored energy that results from the position or shape of an object is called potential energy. 2B.What factors affect an object’s potential energy? The factors that affect an object’s gravitational potential energy are its height relative to some reference point‚ it’s mass‚ and the strength of the gravitational field it is in. 2C. What is the potential energy of a 50-kg pole vaulter when

how certain factors of a chemical reaction affect the rate of reaction. This experiment focused on how temperature affects the rate of reaction for the reaction of alka-seltzer and water. The rate of a reaction is a value calculated to figure out how fast a chemical reaction occurs. There are three factors that can be changed that will affect the rate of a chemical reaction: surface area‚ concentration‚ and temperature. Temperature specifically affects the rate of a chemical reaction‚ because when

Lithium‚Sodium‚Potassium‚Rubidium‚Caesium and Francium are all part of group 1.They are metals that can be easily cut.After being cut‚it is shiny but it quickly tarnishes due to the fact that the metal reacts quickly with oxygen or water.The shiny surfaces of Sodium quickly tarnishes more quickly than Lithium and Potassium more tarnishes more quickly than Lithium.This shows that the reactivity increases as we move down the group.

Jennifer Everett Phase 4 DB Instructor: Clement Yedjou 3/10/2015 Acid rain Acid rain is a result of air pollution that is harmful to the environment‚ generally caused by fuels being burnt. When any type of fuel is burnt‚ many different chemicals are produced. These gases that are released react with the water in clouds‚ and the rain from these clouds is acid rain. This type of acid disposition can appear in many other forms besides just rain‚ such as sleet‚ snow‚ and fog (Editorial Board‚ 2013)

Synthesis of benzilic acid from benzoin utilizing a multi-step reaction. Names: Arian Karim TA Name: Sayantan Das Lab Day & Time: Thursday 7:30-11:40 Lab Section #: Abstract The main purpose of this experiment was to synthesize benzilic acid from benzoin. This requires a multistep synthesis with benzyl as an intermediate product. The first step required HNO3 as an oxidizing agent and the second step required KOH and HCl. The percentage yields of benzil and benzilic acid were 59.5% and 21

Investigating the Ratio Between Poly-Vinyl Alcohol and Sodium Borate to form a Bouncing Ball Timothy English Gen. Chem. 1 Lab Section: 009 Introduction: Poly-Vinyl Alcohol (PVA) is a water-soluble synthetic polymer that will be used as one element to form the well know bouncing ball‚ along with Sodium Borate (borax)‚ which has a variety of uses because of its weak base. PVA is ideal for this experiment because it is odorless‚ nontoxic‚ has high tensile strength and flexibility. The

Acid-Base Titrations A Titration of Potassium Hydroxide Phthalate and Sodium Hydroxide Hanna Piper Department of Chemistry‚ SUNY College at Brockport‚ Brockport‚ NY 14420 Chemistry 205.06 Abstract Titrations are used to find the molarity of an unknown solution. A titration begins with an analyte and titrant being used to measure the unknown molarity of the analyte. In the following experiment‚ sodium hydroxide was used as the titrant and potassium hydroxide phthalate was used as the

Factors that Affect Management Course/ XMGT 230 To get a good look at how external and internal factors affect management‚ we are going to look at the United States Army and how it is affected daily by global‚ technical‚ innovative‚ diverse and ethical issues. Today now more than ever the world has shrunk and it takes great leaders to command a company to achieve success in the world. By looking at the Army we can see all five examples of factors that affect leaders and managers

Standardisation of a Solution of Sodium Hydroxide: Introduction: In a lot of cases it isn’t possible to prepare a solution by accurate weighing of the solute‚ dissolving in water and diluting to volume. There are many possible reasons for this‚ but in the case of sodium hydroxide‚ the solid absorbs moisture from the air‚ and also reacts with carbon dioxide from the air. In that case‚ it cannot be accurately weighed in air. In an experiment like this‚ a solution of the approximate required concentration
