of reaction of Alkali metals and Alkaline Earth meatals are compared in this lab. The pH of each of the resulting metal solutions are tested and the products of the reaction between calcium and water is discovered. The tested elements are sodium‚ lithium‚ potassium and calcium and each of them were placed in a beaker filled with water. The resulting solutions pH levels were tested with litmus paper. There were more steps for caclium because it is the only Alkaline Earth metal. For calcium‚ the gas

Full Metal Jacket Analysis/Summary During the first part of the film‚ it was the training of the drafted soldiers. I did not have any idea how brainwashed a soldier got after training. In the movie‚ Sergeant Hartman was very rude and insulted the soldiers most of the time‚ if not all the time. He would give mean nicknames to all soldiers‚ making fun of them. Nobody dared to talk back to him or answer him in any other manner than what he ordered. The soldiers got pushed to their limit‚ perfecting

The “Cumber-Coil”: A Revolutionary Product for the Value-Conscious SITUATION ANALYSIS Cumberland Metals Industries developed a new type of cushion pad for pile drivers made of curled metal. The 11.5 inch “Cumber-Coil” was tested by two different companies on two different projects and was found to far exceed the performance of the existing market-dominant product‚ the asbestos pad. The Cumber-Coil weighed half what the asbestos pad did and boasted a 33% faster driving time‚ 60% reduction in

Ground state- normal configuration of the electrons about the atom or the ion of an element; stable particle electrons are at lowest possible energy level Excited state- when stable particles are heated to very high temperatures some of the electrons leave their ground state and become “excited”; these electrons move to higher energy levels 3.

speed of a metal carbonate breaking down depends on where the metal is in the reactivity series. The more reactive a metal is the slower it takes for it to breakdown. The less reactive a metal is it breaks down faster. Explain the hypothesis using scientific ideas: The metal carbonate which is lower in the reactivity series such as copper can thermally decompose much faster because it is the least reactive metal so its an unstable carbonate and the bonds are much weaker. So the metal that is
