HOW FAST ARE CHEMICAL REACTIONS? THEORY The study of reaction rates‚ how fast or how slow a reaction takes place‚ is known as chemical kinetics. The rate of chemical reactions varies greatly. Some reactions‚ such as the explosion of an atom bomb are uncontrollable. Reactions like the decay of radioactive carbon (14C) are so slow that it takes centuries to see any noticeable change. Between the two extremes are reactions that can be measured in the laboratory. There are several factors that

In general‚ the poem “Stop all the Clocks” written by W. H. Auden is about death of a dear person. When analyzing this poem in details‚ we see that the subject matter of first stanza is concerned with shutting out every sound apart from drums‚ which will accompany the entering coffin. As for the second stanza‚ the subject matter deals

use of clocks and watches‚ the doomsday clocks‚ Rorschach’s mask‚ the Comedian’s badge‚ and the slogan “ Who Watches the Watchmen.” All of these symbols have more meaning and makes more sense the farther you read into the novel. When the Comedian’s blood spatters onto the badge‚ it makes an arrow shape and symbolizes a couple of things. The blood spatter looks like a minute hand on a clock‚ and it is pointing twelve minutes to twelve which is connected to the doomsday clock. The doomsday clock is used

Reaction Time Reaserch Question: To design on investigation into stimuli ( sight/sound ) that may affect reaction time ( time taken for a response to occur in reaction to a stimulus.) Background information: Humans perceive their outside world through five senses: touch ‚sight‚ taste‚ smell and sound. The reason why we have the 5 major senses is to detect and discriminate among the signals that comes from our environment. These signals carry information necessary for us to support our vital

the opening line‚ the speaker meditates on death and his mortality through the use of clock imagery. The speaker actively engages in counting; “I do count the clock”‚ which emphasises the process of time passing. In the early modern period‚ clocks served as a reminder of the brevity of earthly life‚ and were often inscribed with Latin mottos emphasising the passing of time in relation to death. This use of clock imagery throughout the Renaissance period signals a cultural preoccupation with time

pulled off a sheet from one of the chairs. It smelled dirty and musty. I started to uncover other things‚ like paintings and other furniture. Yet out of all the things I found‚ my two favorites were a handmade grandfather clock and an old bookcase! I like the grandfather clock because it filled the creepy silence of the house with a slow‚ yet graceful “Tick-Tock.” The bookcase I liked because the books make a beautiful display even with the gritty and dusty covers. The crinkly pages were fragile

Metals and Halogens reactions Elements such as fluorine‚ chlorine‚ bromine‚ iodine‚ and astatine belong to Group 7‚ Halogens. At room temperature‚ fluorine is a yellow gas‚ chlorine is a pale green gas‚ bromine is a red liquid‚ and iodine is a purple solid. Astatine is a radioactive element‚ therefore it exists only in small amounts. All the halogens exist in diatomic molecules. They have high ionization energies and are the most electronegative elements. Their electron configuration ns2 np5 make

I was at the medical centre on Friday for my monthly check-up. After three long years‚ Im finally expecting another baby. It has been a long wait. Every month‚ my hopes were raised as high as a tsunami wave‚ but each time they crashed down on me‚ thirty-six times in all. I felt as if God was punishing me but I wished that He would punish me more severely in another way. One thousand days passed before a little seed grew inside me. A lady with a big belly came in after me. She took a clear plastic
