The local atmospheric pressure is 88 kPa. Now‚ heat is transferred to refrigerant-134a until the temperature is 15°C. Determine (a) the final pressure‚ (b) the change in the volume of the cylinder‚ and (c) the change in the enthalpy of the refrigerant-134a. 3. Determine the specific volume of superheated

Aim To investigate the effect of molar mass on the molar heat of combustion of adjacent members of a homologous alcohol series. Introduction Chemists refer to the energy stored in a substance as the heat content or enthalpy of the substance. The heat of reaction is determined by the difference in the enthalpy between the reactants and products. The molar heat of combustion of a substance is the quantity of heat liberated when one mole of that substance is burnt completely in air. In the case

ABSTRACT The Stroop experiment focuses on the interference of a person’s reaction time on a given task. Certain tasks can be performed with more accuracy due to the fact that our brain becomes conditioned to react automatically after exposure of the stimuli. In this particular experiment‚ eight-teen college students underwent the Stroop experiment in individualized laboratory rooms. Four students were male and fourteen were females. The experiment helped us examine the horse race model

Bread Mold Experiment Mold is something that we often take for granted‚ as something that makes us have to throw the bread away or the cheese smell bad. Mold is‚ in fact‚ a fascinating organism which has had many different uses over the years and our lives would not be the same without it. Most of us know that food seems to become moldy more quickly in the summer than in the winter when it is colder. Food in refrigerators seems to keep longer than food left out in the sun. Is this true? Does temperature

The main focus of this experiment was to find the relationship between temperature and the enzyme activity of amylase. This was achieved by attaining amylase enzyme‚ starch solution and potassium iodide (determines if enzymes hydrolyses the starch solution)‚ water bath and a hot plate. The temperatures used for this experiment were room temperature‚ 37oC‚ 60oC‚ 80oC‚ and 90oC. The hypothesis developed was that as the temperature increased‚ so will enzyme activity. Therefore‚ the ability of the

is still open to controversy. Does a dose of caffeine heighten one ’s mental performance‚ or does it achieve the opposite? Many experiments have already taken place in order to discover how caffeine effects a person ’s mental performance. In the Radiological Society of America ’s annual conference in December of 2005‚ Florian Koppelstatter reported an experiment in which he used functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI) to determine how coffee effects brain activity. Subjects were then given

The Afterlife Investigations: The Scole Experiment “Best evidence of life after death ever.” This is what this documentary film is pointing out. Is there really a life after death? Well this film makes me believe more that there is indeed a life after death. However‚ how can scientific evidence explain life after death? Now this film showed me how. The ninety-minute documentary film is about the Scole Experiment‚ which is a five-year investigation into life after death. It is conducted by

perform better when they are participants in an experiment. Individuals may change their behavior due to the attention they are receiving from researchers rather than because of any manipulation of independent variables. The Hawthorne experiments took place from 1927 to 1933 in the Hawthorne plant of Western Electric. They wanted to test scientific management. The experiments were held by Elton Mayo‚ and a few of his colleagues. The experiments began as a series of productivity studies from

bubbles. So that’s why we call it a lava lamp inside of bottle. The conclusion is that you can make lava lamp household items if you use Alka-Seltzer‚ water‚ food coloring‚ and vegetable oil. So if you want to try just do what we did. That is our experiment. Why this happened because the Alka-seltzer had a chemical reaction beacuse of some powder on the outside of the alka-seltzer so the bubbles carried the food coloring up to the top of the bottle
