for the discrepancy between the perceived and actual income inequality is the reference group theory (Hyman‚ 1960). Reference groups usually refer to relatively small groups such as family‚ neighborhoods‚ or regions where the individuals live. Individuals will usually compare themselves to others when evaluating their own positions. If they do not properly take into account the selection process and fail to apply the Bayes’ rule to deduce the income distribution for the entire population from sub-sample

Iron-Silver Equilibrium In studying equilibrium between iron and silver‚ 0.10 M FeSO4 and 0.10 M AgNO3 were used. The balanced equation for the reaction is: FeSO4 (aq) + 2 AgNO3 (aq) ↔ Fe(NO3)2 (aq) + Ag2SO4 (s) It has a net equation of: Fe2+(aq) + Ag+(aq) ↔ Fe3+(aq) + Ag(s) This part of the experiment

there is a grim‚ dark side to this apparently ordinary village (Jackson‚ 2004). In this tale‚ Jackson effectively uses irony which the reader does not fully recognize or appreciate until the end of the story.

Introduction: Solubility equilibrium refers to the dissolution of a compound in water. Specifically‚ the degree to which a compound is soluble (Tro‚ 739). This can be measured using the expression Ksp = [Mb+]a[Xa-]b‚ in which Ksp represents the solubility product constant (Thorne‚ 90). This constant is important because it does not change at a given temperature‚ regardless of the solution a compound is in; a smaller constant would indicate lower overall solubility. It is important to note that
