The spring constant Manuel Cereijido Fernández – UO237242 PL-4 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------1. Objectives The main objective of this experiment was to determine the spring constant using the dynamic method. 2. Theoretical fundamentals On the one hand‚ when a spring oscillates‚ the movement which describes can be classify as a simple harmonic motion. Therefore‚ its position‚ velocity and acceleration equations respect the time will

The Equilibrium Constant of an Ester Hydrolysis Reaction CHM 152LL Section 33263 March 28‚ 2014 John Weide Abstract: The purpose if this experiment is to determine the equilibrium constant of an unknown alcohol. In this experiment unknown alcohol number three and unknown ester number three were used. The equilibrium constant was found by titrating a series of reactions containing H2O‚ HCl‚ and the unknown ester with only the last solution containing the unknown alcohol

Chest Tube Insertion‚ Infant A chest tube is a thin‚ flexible tube that is inserted into the space between lung and chest wall. Air or fluid can collect in this space and cause infants to have breathing trouble. Infants at risk for this complication include those who: • Have lungs that are not fully developed at birth. • Breathe in stool during the birth process (meconium aspiration). • Need to be on a machine to help them breathe (ventilator). • Have surgery on the heart or lungs

It is equally terrifying or even a death sentence‚ to know the exact hour when you die. Today‚ however‚ with the development of mechanical respirators‚ electronic pacemakers‚ and other medical technologies‚ it has created the possibility of a greater temporal separation between various system failures. A person may slip into coma or lose consciousness a decade or more before his heart and lungs fail‚ for example. Meanwhile‚ interest in the availability of transplantable organs has provided an incentive
