Hurst was also struck by Vasquez’s claim that the Willingham blaze had “burned fast and hot” because of a liquid accelerant. The notion that a flammable or combustible liquid caused flames to reach higher temperatures had been repeated in court by arson sleuths for decades. Yet the theory was nonsense: experiments have proved that wood and gasoline-fuelled fires burn at essentially the same temperature. Vasquez and Fogg had cited as proof of arson the fact that the front door’s aluminum threshold

Vermiculite and Vigna Radiata Background Information: Vermiculite is a common material used in the planting of various types of plants. It is said to be efficient in soil aeration‚ and as a soil medium in germination. Generally it’s PH is 7.0 and varies slightly around the world (Grant‚ A. 2016). The property of Vermiculite tested in this experiment is soil aeration. This is extremely important for plant growth because if a plant is not aerated well CO2 will accumulate and slow down the growth of

The phlogiston theory held that when a candle burned‚ for instance‚ phlogiston was transferred from the surrounding air. When air became saturated with phlogiston and could contain no more‚ they flame would go out. Breathing was also a way to remove phlogiston from a body. A typical test for the presence of phlogiston was to place a mouse in a container and measured how long it lived. When the air in the container would accept no more phlogiston‚ the mouse would die. Antoine Lavoisier disproved the

A controversy has been noted about whether or not the Western portion of Dead Man’s Lake at Pilot Knob State Park is a bog. Although some have argued that the lake is actually a fen‚ I believe that the “bog” is indeed a bog. Based off of United States Fish and Wildlife standardized wetland characteristics and the Aquatic Ecology class’s observations
