grey cast iron gives the material good resistance to wear and also provides good corrosion resistance and lubrication characteristics which gives it exceptional machinability. The Carbon also provides good strength and toughness and has a high melting point which allows it to handle more heat under intense driving conditions. The composition of the grey cast iron is 3.5% carbon‚ 2.5% silicon and .65% manganese. Cast Iron engine blocks are still very common to this day in larger vehicles such as trucks

key concepts in this experiment is the term freezing point depression. The definition of this phrase is that when a solute is dissolved into a solvent‚ their collective boiling point will be less than that of the original boiling point of the solvent. This incidentally leads to another important definition‚ the colligative properties of a solution. This means a particular set of characteristics that are unique to that solution. As the freezing point of the solution decreases‚ the solution then attains

Do you like salt? Do you put it on your food to make it taste better? Salt doesn’t just make food taste better; it can change the freezing and boiling point of water. I bet you didn’t know that! There’s a reason for that‚ but I’ll explain that a little later. First‚ let’s find out if salt can actually change the freezing and boiling point of water. To do so‚ we need to do an experiment. Now‚ if you’re going to do an experiment‚ you’re going to need a hypothesis. Let’s use mine. I said “if we

The earth has not always looked the way it looks today. In other words‚ the United States one billion years ago was in a totally different location than it is today!! How does this happen? And why does this happen? Let’s take a look. In order for us to get some understanding of how the earth has changed over time‚ we first need to understand some of the things that took place‚ and are still taking place‚ in the earth. What about the internal structure of the Earth? Our best clues about the interior

properties are: freezing point of depression‚ boiling point elevation‚ vapor pressure lowering‚ and osmotic pressure.1 Colligative properties are present in everyday life‚ such as adding salt to a boiling pot of water. By adding salt to the water‚ the boiling point of elevation is raised and the boiling salt water will have a higher temperature compared to the temperature of boiling pure water.2 The colligative property that will be used in this experiment is the freezing point of depression‚ which

Melting Points Elizabeth McGrail Organic Chemistry I 25 January 2013 ABSTRACT The objectives of this lab are‚ as follows; to understand what occurs at the molecular level when a substance melts; to understand the primary purpose of melting point data; to demonstrate the technique for obtaining the melting point of an organic substance; and to explain the effect of impurities on the melting point of a substance. Through the experimentation of three substances‚ tetracosane‚ 1-tetradecanol and

Department of Chemistry [Colligative Properties & Osmotic Pressure] Purpose : The experiment this week had two different purposes. The first is to teach us about freezing points. This lab was designed to show us the freezing point of a pure solvent‚ in comparison to a solvent in a solution with a non-volatile solute. The second goal of the experiment is to teach students about osmosis. In the experiment‚ we got to observe osmosis as well as understand dialysis

Ideally‚ the percent yield should be 100%‚ as this means that you have recovered 100% of that material. A yield over 100% would mean that the substance still has some traces of another material that is adding additional mass. Ex. The iron filings having some sand particles leftover. A yield under 100% would mean that some of the substance was not recovered‚ it could have been lost (spilled) or found in another substance (not separated completely). The percent yields may give some insight into what
