Chemical Prperties of Metals Most metals are chemically reactive‚ reacting with oxygen in the air to form oxides over changing timescales (for example iron rusts over years and potassium burns in seconds). The alkali metals react quickest followed by the alkaline earth metals‚ found in the leftmost two groups of the periodic table. Examples: 4Na + O2 → 2Na2O (sodium oxide) 2Ca + O2 → 2CaO (calcium oxide) 4Al + 3O2 → 2Al2O3 (aluminium oxide) The transition metals take much longer to

Purpose: In this lab‚ we will heat up a metal rod and measure how much it expands. We will calculate its Coefficient of Linear Expansion‚ α‚ and prove the formula for thermal expansion‚ ΔL = αLiΔT. Also‚ we heat up a known volume of methyl alcohol and calculate its Coefficient of Volume Expansion‚ β‚ and prove the formula for volume expansion of a liquid ΔV = βViΔT. Equipment: Hollow Metal Rods of different metals‚ Steam Generator‚ Stand‚ Burner‚ Flexible Hoses‚ Motion Amplifier‚ Micrometer

Case Study Finance - EDHEC MBAUnited Metal | | Background We refer to the case in the finance textbook for the details. Throughout our efforts in determining the right decision for United Metal‚ our team decided to calculate the difference between the ‘Make’ or ‘Buy’ options‚ using the numbers given in the case. However‚ in order to determine the net present value (NPV) and make appropriate recommendations‚ a risk adjusted discount rate (rate-of-return or ‘r’) needs to be incorporated.

Study of Gold metal Date: 14/01/2013 Submitted to: Dr Sami Habib Submitted by: Jamil Mahfoud (A1010659) I- General introduction about metals: a- Historical background Back to 6000 BC‚ process metallurgy is known as one of the oldest applied sciences. Despite that the form of metals was very basic but it has a big impact on the society because of its wide uses especially as tools for agriculture or hunting and even as artistic styles later on. There are 86 known metals so far that were

STRENGTHENING OF METALS There are 4 major ways to strengthen metals‚ and all work because they make dislocation motion more difficult. They also reduce the ductility: 1) Cold work (Strain Hardening) 2) Reduce grain size (Strengthening by Grain Size Reduction) 3) Add other elements in solid solution (Solid Solution Strengthening) 4) Add second phase particles (Precipitation or Age Hardening) • These mechanisms may be combined. • For example‚ the world’s strongest structural material (with

I. BACKGROUND Precious metals and gemstones have been a popular investment vehicle especially in Asian countries and on the part of those who are constantly moving from one country to another. Asians have a special fondness for them because precious metals and gemstones have enabled them to survive hard times most especially when the super power waged their wars on our shores. Another reason for this is the presence of many gold deposits and mines in our country

workforce diversity can help any country advance‚ because work diversity includes many aspects‚ such as age‚ gender‚ nationality etc. For the age diversity‚ the country’s workers can not only the young person‚ and also can’t only old person‚ because old worker have more work experience‚ they can help young people grow up fast‚ but old worker always have fixed mind-sets‚ so the young people can bring the spirit of innovation‚ they complement each other and learn from each other‚ they can improve together

Heavy Metal Music Good morning to our lecturer and my fellow friends. Today‚ I’m going to inform you about my favourite music genre‚ the heavy metal or metal. I’ll talk about its origin‚ characteristics and its evolvement. I am pretty sure that all of you are not fans of heavy metal. Perhaps‚ some of you did not even heard of it. Heavy metal ‚ often referred to as metal ‚ is a genre of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s with roots in blues rock and psychedelic rock. Heavy

TOPIC 2 Metals The History of Metals * Uses of metals through history: * Copper Age (3200-2300 BCE) – copper and tin were most common metals‚ and were used for ornaments‚ weapons and tools. * Bronze Age (2300-700 BCE) – copper‚ tin and bronze were used for tools‚ weapons and transport. They produced bronze by heating copper and tin with charcoal. * Iron Age (1000 BCE – 1 CE) – iron steel and lead was used for tools‚ weapons and pipes. Iron is much harder than bronze.

The brass alloy we are experimenting on is called Muntz Metal. Muntz metal is 60% copper‚ 40% zinc and a hint of copper [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muntz_metal] (accessed 4/10/12). Muntz metal was developed as an alternative to expensive‚ heavy copper. It is comprised of about 60% copper and about 40% zinc‚ with a small amount of iron. The finished product actually is considered a form of brass‚ but it has maintained its name of Muntz metal. [http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-muntz-metal.htm] (Accessed
