The purpose of the lab was to measure the effectiveness of antacids at neutralizing excess stomach acid. A neutralization reaction is when an acid and a base react to form water and salt. To illustrate‚ H+ hydrogen ions from the acid react with the hydroxide ions OH- from the base. Antacids are taken to relieve heartburn or indigestion caused by excess stomach acid. For instance‚ antacids such as alka-seltzers contain baking soda which is highly reactive with acids‚ settling the discomfort of indigestion

Biology Coursework Practical Heat Loss The aim of this practical is to find to what extent does the surface area to volume ratio of an object affect the rate of heat loss from the object Hypothesis: As the ratio of surface area to volume of an object decreases the rate of heat loss from the object will also decrease. Objects with the same surface area to volume ratios loose heat at the same rate so long as there are not other variables involved. Background Knowledge: The surface area

Protecting Yourself From the Summer’s Heat The summer is finally here! Although many of us like to leisurely spend time in the sun whether it means going for a walk‚ doing some much needed yard work or gardening‚ or just enjoying the beautiful outdoors‚ it is important to be aware about how much sun we get to avoid heat-related illnesses like heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Prevention is the first step in keeping us all healthy through these hot temperatures! To protect your health when temperatures

experiment aimed to determine the specific heat of two different metals‚ Lead and Zinc‚ in order to calculate their individual atomic weight. Theory The calorimeter consists of a metal outer cup‚ a removable metal inner cup‚ which is held in place by a rubber ring‚ and an insulating lid with a small opening for a thermometer. It is a closed system as the air between the inner cup and outer cup insulates the water and heated metal‚ so‚ ideally‚ all heat is contained within the calorimeter (1). Early

thermal‚ mechanical and hydraulic design response report to a heat exchanger problem where ethylene glycol and a poor quality feed of water are put through a shell and tube exchanger with the objective of cooling the ethylene glycol feed. A shell and tube exchanger was chosen over several other exchangers due to its high efficient performance and its relative ease of maintenance in processing these fluids. From the data given and specific heat capacity researched for ethylene glycol‚ a MatLab script

Investigation Investigate the amount of heat evolved when magnesium reacts with dilute acids. Planning What I am going to do I am going to find out how much heat is given out when magnesium reacts with a variety of dilute acids. In order to make comparisons between the acids‚ I shall use my results to work out how much heat would be given out if 1 mole of magnesium reacted with an excess of each acid. The acids I shall use are hydrochloric acid‚ sulphuric acid‚ nitric acid and ethanoic acid

African Diaspora and the World After reading the short story “Diaspora” by Joanne Hyppolite‚ I got a vivid understanding of how diaspora can have an effect on one’s identity. Over the past month we have studied many theories and concepts concerning race‚ gender‚ and politics. There are three theories that capture the essence of Joanne Hyppolite’s worldview as a Haitian growing up in America: intersectionality‚ identity‚ and diaspora. Individuals oftentimes experience the theory of Intersectionality

for a given acid at a given temperature. In this experiment we determined the Ka using two different methods: 1) the measurement of the pH of a solution containing a known concentration of a weak acid‚ and 2) measurement of the pH at the half-neutralization point in the titration of a weak acid and a strong base. Theory and Concept: When titrating a weak acid‚ HA‚ with a strong base the equilibrium between the weak acid and its ion is reestablished after every addition of base. The reaction in

Heat Transfer Phenomena in Heat Gun – Effect of Melting Heat gun is actually a one of the common power tools which usually can be found in autoshop. This particular of tool looks alike to hair dryer (that normally being used in house to drying wet hair). Heat gun is actually pretty handy tool as it can be used to desoldering electronic components‚ shrink warping and heat shrink tubing‚ bending PVC pipe and tube‚ window tinting‚ vinyl and leather repair‚ as well as many others unconventional creative

Actual Mechanism of Heat Loss during Exercise High heat and humidity reduce body’s ability to lose heat by radiation or convection and evaporation. While exercising‚ the heat production within muscle and it is transfer from the core to the skin. Under appropriate environmental conditions‚ excess body heat dissipates to the environment which regulates the core temperature within a narrow range. During exercise in the heat‚ the heat loss mechanisms compete with the active muscles for more of the
