Pol Pot‚ leader of the radical Khmer Rouge in Cambodia stands as one of the most savage mass murderers in the history of the world. In an attempt to create a utopian agrarian society‚ Pol Pot eliminated all opponents to his totalitarian regime. Up to 2‚000‚000 Cambodians lost their lives to this cleansing‚ the equivalent of more than twenty-five percent of the entire population. The world looks on in horror at the aftermath of this destruction. Pol Pot‚ or Saloth Sar‚ was born on May 19‚ 1925‚ in

Melting pointe determination #01 Introduction: Objective To learn how to obtain an accurate melting point using a MELTING POINT APPARATUS‚ then use them to draw eutectic curve and determine the eutectic point. Melting point of a solid is the temperature at which the solid and its liquid form are in equilibrium‚ i.e.‚ molecules move back and forth between the two states at the same rate‚ so both phases remain present. If the temperature of a solid is measured carefully as the solid is heated

Melting Ice Caps The Arctic is global warming’s canary in the coal mine. It is a highly sensitive area which is profoundly affected by the changing climate. The average temperature in the Arctic is rising twice as fast as elsewhere in the world (nrdc.org). Because of this‚ the ice cap is getting thinner‚ melting away‚ and rupturing. Here is an example of this; the largest ice block in the Arctic‚ the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf‚ had been around for 3000 years before it started cracking in 2000 (nrdc

During the dust bowl‚ approximately 2.5 million farmers fled from their home‚ approximately 10 of the 2.5 million were led in California into squatter camp or Federal camps (Richardson‚ Sarah). For many farmers‚ conditions got better‚ but for others‚ they faced conditions‚ such as starvation‚ miscarriages‚ beatings and very poor living conditions. As a result of the dust bowl‚ many American farmers were forced to move to California in special areas called Squatter camps and federal camps. Though

Pol Pot in Cambodia. This all started in 1925‚ when Pol Pot was born. He joined the underground communist movement in 1953. In 1962 he became leader of the communist party and was forced to flee into the jungle‚ in that same jungle he began building his own military resistance and began waging guerrilla war against the government. From 1969 until 1973 Pot watched as 150‚000 Cambodian peasants were slain from U.S bombs. In 1975 when they U.S left Vietnam. Cambodia’s government was in shambles it

Organic chemistry 201 | Mixed Melting Points | Determination of an Unknown Solid | | [Type the author name] | 9/15/2011 | Purpose : The main purpose of this experiment was to identify an unknown compound/substance by performing multiple experimental melting point tests. Pure and impure solids were tested to see what affect pureness/impureness had on a melting point. Background: The melting point of a solid can be used to determine the purity of the solid. Pure samples usually have

Tuesday‚ April 22‚ 1934 We had another dust storm yesterday. It was pretty bad. It was around 1:30 that it happened. I was outside when I saw it coming. I rushed inside and screamed‚ Dust Storm! Dad rushed inside from sealing one of the windows. Mom stopped cleaning clothes‚ and poured all of the water on any cloth that she could find. Then she hung them up on the inside of the window to catch any dust that came in. Dad went into his room and came back with some masks to put on and protect us from

Recrystallization and Melting Point of Benzoic Acid Organic Chemistry 1 10/4/12 Abstract Recrystallization was done to remove impurities from the sample. The percent recovery of benzoic acid during recrystallization is 23.02%. The difference between the pure and impure samples was observed by comparison of melting points. It was found that impure sample had a lower and wider melting point range of 120.1-122.2 (C). The pure sample melting point range was 121.3-122.5 (C). These ranges helped determine
