we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say there are things that we now know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we do not know we don’t know. So when we do the best we can and we pull all this information together‚ and we then say well that’s basically what we see as the situation‚ that is really only the known knowns and the known unknowns. And each year‚ we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns.” I would have told you that I thought

Lillian Zhang AP Chemistry 3rd Period Formula of an Unknown Hydrate The purpose of the Formula of an Unknown Hydrate lab is to determine the weight percentage of H2O hydrated to an unknown salt and the empirical formula for the hydrated salt. To do this‚ a massed amount of the hydrate is heated over either a hot plate or Bunsen burner. This causes the water to be removed‚ leaving the anhydrous salt behind in the dish. The mass of the anhydrous salt‚ now with the absence of water‚ is less than

Voter identification laws has been a controversial issue on whether or not it should be implemented in every state in America. 34 states have passed laws that required voters who registered to show a photo identification issued by the government before voting. This leaves only 16 states that do not require voters to have photo identification. The whole purpose of voter identification was to stop people from impersonating other people and fraud‚ but some people believe that voter identification can

involves two oxidation-reduction reactions to calculate the oxidizing capacity of a sample of unknown bleach. In order to determine the volume of Na2S2O3 added‚ students will conduct a titration of bleach with thiosulfate with addition of a starch indicator to find the end point of the titration. Moreover‚ the oxidizing capacity of bleach is calculated with the percentage by mass of NaOCl in the unknown bleach sample. The overall chemical reaction throughout the experiment will be balanced with the

many class lab days‚ I concluded my unknown was Calcium Carbonate due to results from the Flame Test and Anion I Test. Throughout our lab days‚ my friends would help me determine various odors and colors of the substances which allowed me to confirm my answer. Also‚ I looked select test results up on the internet to see if they matched my observations. On our first lab day‚ I received my bottle and noticed a white precipitate in the bottom therefore‚ my unknown was insoluble. I started my testing

Determine the concentration of an unknown copper (II) sulfate solution by using colorimeter Introduction: The concentration of the solution also alterations the proximity of the solution. For example‚ the more focused concentration will frame to be denser than more weakened concentration of copper (ii) sulfate. This implies there is a connection between the concentration of an solution and its absorbance. Along these lines‚ this test is set up to discover the kind of connection between the concentration

performed this test‚ the initially slant for unknown microorganism #17 is important. For this lab‚ two identical slants are used for two reasons. Firstly‚ the slant can be used to make sure that there is no contamination from the Nutrient Agar plate. Secondly‚ the second slant will become a stock culture to prevent the shortage of slants during performing the series of tests. Kliger’s Iron Agar tests can be used to determine multiple characteristics of unknown microorganism #17. Kliger’s Iron Agar slants

Lab # 11 – Acid - Base Titration Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to determine the molarity (M) of an unknown HCl solution. A NaOH solution will be made and its molarity calculated. A sample of the NaOH solution will be titrated against the unknown HCl solution to calculated the volume needed to neutralize it. With these volumes the unknown molarity can be calculated. Theory: Solutions are made up of solvents and solutes. Materials known as acids when dissolved

Unknown Anomaly In the not so distant future‚ humanity has expanded its reach to distant planets‚ seeking refuge from Earth’s depleted resources. Among these colonies is Terra Nova‚ a swarming settlement on the outskirts of known space. Captain Brian Laurier leads the exploration vessel‚ the Mercury X‚ on a mission to scout new planetary systems for colonization. During a routine mission‚ the Mercury X encounters a peculiar anomaly—a rift in space-time that defies all known laws of physics. Its

In this experiment‚ gravimetric analysis will be used to determine the unknown metal carbonate. Gravimetric analysis. Gravimetric analysis is a method where an ion being analyzed can be classified through their mass (Yoder 2018). Due to the fact that carbonates can be hygroscopic‚ which means it would be able to absorb water from water vapor‚ extra precautions have to be taken place to be able to get an accurate mass (Helmenstine 2017). This can be done by using a drying oven and a desiccator. A
