Stoichiometry and Limiting Reagents Theodore A. Bieniosek I. Purpose and Theory The purpose of the experiment is to study and apply the processes of stoichiometric calculation on a controlled chemical reaction. We will be adding variable amounts of reactants in a chemical reaction in order to demonstrate the effect of limiting reagents. Based on the volumes of the reactants‚ and their respective molarities‚ we can calculate the theoretical yield of the reaction and compare it to the

Observation on U.S. Treasury Yields Date: Oct 10‚ 2012 Introduction In this paper‚ we establish three regression models on U.S. Treasury yields with two different maturities: three-month and one-year. Model 1 is to interpret the relationship between unemployment rates and the risk-free rates‚ which we choose the three-month T-bill interest rates. Model 2 is to evaluate the movement of short-term interest rates under pure expectation theory and liquidity premium theory as well as to compare
