It is gas taxation. Taxes on gas hit wallets hard and drain bank accounts. The federal gas tax was a mere penny per gallon and first came into effect in 1932 as a temporary charge. Nine years later‚ the gas tax became permanent through the Revenue Act of 1941 in order to help fund the war effort and increased by half a cent per gallon. In 1959‚ President Eisenhower raised the tax to four pennies per gallon to fund his creation of the interstate highway system. As of 2005‚ the federal gas tax alone

Introduction The purpose of this lab is to determine the percent mass of Cu in a penny and see if the fabricator that makes the planchets for the government is using the correct amounts of Cu in the pennies. The composition of a standard penny is 97.5% Zn and 2.5% Cu. In the lab we will be using Beer’s Law (A=elc+b where A is solution absorbance‚ e is a constant called molar absorbency‚ l is the length in cm‚ and c is the concentration). Using Beer’s Law in this lab a colorimeter is used to find the

Gas Tungsten Arc Welding The Process Gas Tungsten Arc Welding‚ also known as Tungsten Inert Gas Welding‚ is an arc welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce a weld. The weld area is protected from atmospheric contamination by an inert shielding gas‚ such as argon or helium‚ and filler metal is normally used‚ except in autogenous welds. A constant-current welding power supply produces energy which is conducted across the arc through a column of highly ionized gas and

The Mass of Acetylsalicylic Acid in Aspirin ------------------------------------------------- Purpose The purpose of the lab is to determine the mass of the ‘active ingredient’ in a commercial ASA tablet. ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- Introduction There are three main theories surrounding acids and bases including the Arrhenius‚ Bronsted-Lowry‚ and Lewis theories. The Arrhenius theory of acids and bases states that

temperature. The heat lost by the metal when placed in cold water is gained by the water. Thus‚ the heat gain of water must equal the heat loss of the metal. -q (metal) = q (water) The specific heat capacity can be used to determine the molar mass of a metal using the equation below. The derivation of this equation was largely based off of an assumption by Dulong and Petit in 1819‚ that one mole of all metals have roughly the same capacity to absorb heat. They found that the heat capacity

Gas is an important productive resource in the world. Driving cars‚ heating buildings‚ producing electricity‚ people all need gas. Therefore‚ gas is directly related to people’s normal life and the global economy. Recently‚ due to the fights between Israel and the Hezbollah guerrilla‚ the Middle East political and economic situation has been deteriorating‚ which has led to the continuous hikes of gas prices. Since gas plays an important role in our economy‚ people should understand that the high

This week’s video covered how to properly remove an old A-frame gas block to swap out with a modernized low-profile/picatinny railed gas block. Throughout the course of this video it’s very apparent that utilizing the proper tools can make this an easy job. I’ve had the unfortunate experience of “winging it” on an upgrade on my first AR-15. I’ll now cover the importance of using the proper tools. The video doesn’t demonstrate it‚ but it’s also very valuable to pay attention. The Gentleman in the

Patrick Meehan Jeb Waldschmidt ENGL 102-05 3-26-05 Natural Gas and the Future of Energy Until recently natural gas was considered the dirty brother of oil. Natural gas was often stranded and left undeveloped‚ often wasting it. Oftentimes natural gas was considered unusable ’ and worthless ’ compared to oil. But now that the oil is running out a new light is being shown on natural gas. Today natural gas is very much in favor as a clean fossil fuel‚ especially for electricity
