Thermite Background: Thermite is a powder made from aluminum powder and a metal oxide [usually iron oxide (Fe2O3‚ known as rust)]. The thermite reaction is a redox reaction‚ where Aluminum reduces the oxide of another metal. For example‚ when using iron oxide (as I did) the equation would be Fe2O3(s) + 2 Al(s) -> Al2O3(s) + 2 Fe(l). Black or blue iron oxide (Fe3O4) could also be used. Other examples of possible oxides are manganese thermite (MnO2)‚ Cr2O3‚ and copper thermite (CuO). Aluminum can also

A) January 18‚ 2011B) Empirical Formula C) The purpose is to determine the empirical formula of a metallic oxide. D) Pre Lab Questions: After heating the metal‚ the crucible and contents should mass less than it did before it was heated. This is because heating the crucible may rid of other residue that was left in it; bringing it a to a constant mass. A yellow flame will deposit soot on the crucible. This would be a problem because the soot left on the crucible would vary from our constant

African Diaspora and the World After reading the short story “Diaspora” by Joanne Hyppolite‚ I got a vivid understanding of how diaspora can have an effect on one’s identity. Over the past month we have studied many theories and concepts concerning race‚ gender‚ and politics. There are three theories that capture the essence of Joanne Hyppolite’s worldview as a Haitian growing up in America: intersectionality‚ identity‚ and diaspora. Individuals oftentimes experience the theory of Intersectionality

Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to analyze the trends of the atomic radius (AR) and the first ionization energy (IE) for the first 36 elements of the periodic table. Procedure: A piece of graph paper was given out by the teacher. A periodic table that has the atomic number‚ atomic radius (AR)‚ and first ionization energy (IE) was given out by the teacher. A sheet of paper was taken out to record the elements‚ atomic number‚ atomic radius (AR)‚ and the first ionization energy (IE). To record
