(Jefferson‚ 1776‚ p. 5). There are many arguments to be made that this expression was not all people‚ but all men because those in power are self-interested. Whites still have privileges that would not want to be given up‚ and disadvantages are given to minority groups in turn. African American‚ women‚ and GLBT issues are still very present today‚ and people are still suffering because of it. The thought of equality was started when Jefferson wrote The Declaration of Independence at the originating times

But we must look deeper past the numbers and statistics and into the cultural aspects and the effects and consequences of the myth of the model minority has. Asian children are increasingly pressured by family and cultural values to achieve. The parents of these students feel that the performance of their children is a representation of their parental abilities and when their children fall short of their expectations‚ these feelings are sometimes expressed in form of physical violence for something

Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to determine the rate constants‚ k1‚ for the methyl acetate hydrolysis reaction at 25 °C and 35 °C‚ as well as the overall activation energy of the reaction. Methods Methyl acetate was placed in an HCl solution‚ in which it reacts with water to form acetic acid over time. At each time interval‚ an aliquot of the mixture was removed for titration against NaOH to determine the concentration of the acetic acid produced. From the amount of acetic acid produced

Some systematic errors could be if the wrong molarity was determined for the permanganate because then that would though off the calculations for the Fe+2 and

In the substitution reaction the Hydrogen in HCl protonated the alcohol group in t-pentyl alcohol and turned it to a good leaving group (H2O). a tertiary carbon cation was formed. a nucleophilic attach of the negative Cl- attacked the carbon cation forming t-pentyl chloride [7]. As the reaction proceeded‚ extraction and distillation techniques were used to get a pure product of t-pentyl chloride. The percent
