Determining the Enthalpy of a Chemical Reaction All chemical reactions involve an exchange of heat energy; therefore‚ it is tempting to plan to follow a reaction by measuring the enthalpy change (∆H). However‚ it is often not possible to directly measure the heat energy change of the reactants and products (the system). We can measure the heat change that occurs in the surroundings by monitoring temperature changes. If we conduct a reaction between two substances in aqueous solution‚ then the

From the graph I can clearly see that Distilled water has a much larger concentration of water then the cell sap in the potato tissue. I can make this conclusion because the results show a big increase in weight of the potato piece.

Towards the middle of the story‚ Doodle‚ the protagonist‚ is taught how to walk by his older brother. When they decide to show their family the surprise‚ everyone walks over to Doodle’s older brother to give him

Don’t you like it!” His mother had a stern look on her face and responded‚ “Luke‚ I told you to leave that poor cat alone.” Rudy slowly sneaked into the room drenched in black paint. He gave out a low “Meow” and looked up to the mother with pleading eyes‚ as if he were saying “Help me please.” The mother told

I believe in determination‚ determination is something that everyone should have. I’m an athlete and I think that every athlete should have some sort of determination. Determination is having your mind set on something and fulling that to the best of your ability. Every person should set goals in their life and to be able to accomplish those goals you need to be determined. This year I ran cross country. I hate running but I was determined not to give up cross country just because I hate running
