Introduction The purpose of this lab is to determine the percent mass of Cu in a penny and see if the fabricator that makes the planchets for the government is using the correct amounts of Cu in the pennies. The composition of a standard penny is 97.5% Zn and 2.5% Cu. In the lab we will be using Beer’s Law (A=elc+b where A is solution absorbance‚ e is a constant called molar absorbency‚ l is the length in cm‚ and c is the concentration). Using Beer’s Law in this lab a colorimeter is used to find the

I.Purpose The purpose of this lab is to show how potential energy and kinetic energy is shown and transferred using a model rollercoaster. This lab also demonstrates the Law of Conservation of Energy. II.Introduction Potential and Kinetic energy have a very big relationship. The Law of Conservation of Energy states that “Energy cannot be destroyed or created‚ but can be transformed or transferred.” This lab will help demonstrate this law and show the conversion between Kinetic and Potential

Kristen Sierman Lab Report: Experiment #7 Group #4 October 16th‚ 2012 Forces on a Pulley System A. Statement of the Problem The purpose of this lab was to address the following questions: how does the acceleration of a pulley system depend on the mass of the driving objects? And how does the acceleration of a pulley system depend on the mass of the driven object? To achieve this‚ a dynamic track was set up with a string attached to a cart. The string was part of a pulley system (the pulley

Thermodynamics- Enthalpy of Reaction and Hess’s Law Objectives: 1. To calculate the heat of reaction of a given reaction using the concepts derived from Hess’s Law. Pre-lab Questions: 1. Define Heat of Reaction. The enthalpy change associated with the completion of a chemical reaction. 2. Define Specific Heat. The energy it takes to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by one degree Celsius. 3. Calculate the heat of reaction assuming no heat is lost to the calorimeter. Use correct

SPA Lab 1: Weber’s Law of Just-Noticeable Differences Lisa Robinson University of Central Oklahoma Abstract SPA Lab 1: Weber’s Law of Just-Noticeable Differences Students react to a stimulus very differently based on one’s background and experience. These factors can affect how a person perceives things‚ especially when someone’s senses are being tested. Weber’s Law defines the correlation between concrete and alleged differences in stimulus strength (Coren‚ Ward‚ & Enns‚ 2004). The absolute

between the role of criminal law and civil law in relation to the legal system and analyse the purpose of the law. Criminal law is the body of law that relates to crime. It might be defined as the body of rules that defines conduct that is prohibited by the state because it is held to threaten‚ harm or otherwise endanger the safety and welfare of the public‚ and that sets out the punishment to be imposed on those who breach these laws.

2015 Daphnia Lab Results Paper Abstract The goal of the study was to observe the effects of multiple chemicals on a Daphnia magna’s heart-rate compared to a control (pond water). The different chemicals were caffeine and alcohol. The heart-rate was the main variable in this experiment. The Daphnia’s heart-rate was observed for 15 seconds and then multiplied by 4 to show its heart-rate in one minute. This was repeated 4 times for each chemical. The data was averaged at the conclusion. It was discovered

Nuremberg Laws The Nuremberg Race Laws were announced as two new laws on September 15‚ 1935‚ which included the Reich Citizenship Law and the Law for Protection of German Blood and German Honor law. These laws became known as the Nuremberg Laws because they were first announced at a Nazi Party Rally held in Germany. The Nazis made these laws because they believed that the world is divided into distinct races that are not equally strong and as valuable as others. The Nazis also considered Germans

A hypothesis is often not necessary or appropriate. Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions in cells. They break down molecules called substrates. Each enzyme has only one substrate that it breaks down. Enzymes are produced in
