Title: Liquids and Solids Purpose: The experiment will help determine two important physical properties‚ boiling and melting point‚ of liquids and solids. Procedure: Before starting the experiment I gathered all materials appropriate for the experiment and prepare a safe environment for my experiment. I record the boiling point of the Isopropyl Alcohol and the melting point of powdered Acetamide with lab equipment such as the thermometer‚ capillary tube‚ beaker‚ test tube‚ and burner fuel

Project: Practical Investigation Aslam Khan‚ Keenan Wong and Jinhyuk Yeh 2013 Aim: To verify Snell’s Law and find the relationship between angle of incidence and the angle of refraction‚ for monochromatic light passing from air into Perspex. Hypothesis: As the angle of incidence increases so will the angle of refraction (directly proportional). Apparatus: * Laser (Monochromatic light) * Rectangular Perspex * Ruler * Pencil * Paper * Protractor * Calculator

HOOKE’S LAW EXPERIMENT Aim: The aim of this experiment is to determine the force constant (k) of the particular spring used. Introduction Hooke’s Law: Hooke’s Law is a law that shows the relationship between the forces applied to a spring and change in its length (extension). The relation is best explained by the equation: F= -k Δx F: Is force applied to the spring this can be either the strain or stress that acts upon the spring. k: Is the spring constant and details how hard

Practical 3 Absorption Spectra and the Beer-Lambert Law INTRODUCTION Electromagnetic radiation can be described in terms of frequency (V) and wavelength (λ). Absorbance is the capacity of a substance to absorb radiation and transmittance (the fraction radiation at a specified wavelength that passes through a sample) is physical properties that all molecules have. The purpose of experiment one was to find the maximum absorbance (λmax) occurred for both bromophenol blue and methyl orange by

Boyle’s Law Experiment Aim To show that Pressure is proportional to the inverse to volume Method A gas syringe was attached to a pressure sensor. The pressure sensor was calibrated‚ assuming the atmospheric pressure at the time of the experiment was 100kPa. Differing volumes of gas were created in the gas syringe and they were recorded as were the corresponding values of pressure at that particular volume. The volume was varied between 20cm3 and 75cm3. Results A set of readings was obtained
