Acid Base Titration Purpose: The purpose is to calculate the molarity of a NaOH solution by titrating the base with 5mL of standard HCl solution in each trial. By adding the base with unknown molarity to the acid with 0.10M the molarity of NaOH can be calculated. The base‚ NaOH‚ helps bring the pH of the acid‚ HCl‚ closer to seven‚ which neutralizes it. When using the buret the amount of NaOH used is able to be determined. Then by writing a balanced chemical equation and using the titration

Slavery as a Necessary Evil It is inevitable that with the mention of slavery emotions will be aroused within whoever is present. Today most people look at slavery as one of the biggest mistakes our country has ever made. However‚ some will say they can see positives within the topic. It is the obvious nature and cycle of life that everything is not perfect and mistakes must be made to learn valuable lessons. Appalled by any notion of slavery as being necessary‚ most people do not see the evidence

Chlorophyll Extraction This easy science project shows simple and efficient method of chlorophyll extraction from a plant. This is only a demonstration of working method which can be refined and used for a full scale science project. Plants contain many pigments in different proportions. For flowering plants it’s mostly a combination of chlorophyll-A‚ chlorophyll-B‚ pheophytin and Carotenes. These pigments have shades of green‚ blue green‚ grayish‚ and yellow-orange. Their concentration is

Biosphere Lab Report A biosphere can be defined a lot of different ways. Our interpretation of a biosphere is the area in which life can be contained within. In the case of the earth‚ it means as high as a bird can fly and as deep as fish can swim in the ocean. A biosphere is a closed system that has a constant flow of energy between the organisms living within it and it needs nothing outside of itself but sunlight to continue to be sustained. At the University of Arizona‚ they attempted to build

simple mechanisms used to convert rotary motion into oscillating linear motion and vice-versa. The first of these is the slider-crank - a mechanism widely used in engines to convert the linear thrust of the pistons into useful rotary motion. In this lab we will measure the acceleration of the piston of a lawn mower engine at various speeds. The results exemplify a simple relation between speed and acceleration for kinematically restricted motions‚ which will discover. An adjustable slider-crank apparatus

demographics‚ why is it necessary to have immigration into our country? What consequences would there be for your generation if our government gets this wrong?” Immigration is key for Canada. We have become an popular option from immigrants from all around the world. We are capable of giving them great opportunities‚ and a better life. In 2011‚ foreign born immigrants represented approximately 20.6% of Canada’s total population. Without immigrants; Canada will lose its potential. Why immigration is

Coulomb’s Law Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to demonstrate that the force between two stationary charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely to the square of the distance between them. Coulomb’s law tells us that the force between two charges depends (1) linearly on the strength of each charge‚ and (2) inversely on the square of the distance between them. Mathematically we would write this as . Procedures Part1 Begin by removing the right side

Electoral Votes Are They Necessary Someone asked the question what is an Electoral College‚ what does it mean and how does it work. The Electoral is a formal body which elects the President and Vice President of the United States. Every state is given a number of electoral votes according to its population. However‚ in this day and age is the Electoral College/vote need today‚ or just another loophole that the government is exploiting. Even though electoral voting has been in play for
