Geology a science that examines the earth‚ its form and composition‚ and the changes it has undergone and is undergoing involves the knowledge of what happened before and the events occurring within the atmosphere requires not only a study of the materials found on earth but an understanding of the various geologic processes aims to develop an understanding of the earth’s materials and how these materials were changed and modified through the action of natural forces over a period of time Geology

Patel Chem 101 10-13-09 Introduction The objective of this lab was to show how stoichiometry is applied to a specific chemical reaction. Stoichiometry is pretty much the math behind chemistry. Doing stoichiometry can calculate masses‚ moles‚ and percents with a chemical equation. The use of stoichiometry is how we were able to find the limiting reagent in this lab. A limiting reagent is the chemical that will be used up first. Many calculations had to be made throughout this lab. Some of
