    ABSTRACT This laboratory focused on the thermodynamic processes involved when two incompressible substances are mixed together. 12 experiments were performed‚ 10 involving the combination of a measured amount of hot and cold water and 2 involving the combination of ice and liquid water‚ the majority of these experiments were performed three times. The average variance in final temperature for each experiment was less than 10 percent providing proof of repeatability. Equipment used during the

    Thermal Conductivity of Metals and Non-metals 1. Introduction Thermal conductivity is a physical property of materials of great importance. Unlike some physical properties‚ however‚ thermal conductivity cannot be directly measured. In order to determine a material’s thermal conductivity‚ intermediate quantities must be determined from which the conductivity may be ultimately calculated. The objective of this lab was to determine the thermal conductivity of metals. To do so‚ it was necessary to study

    INTRODUCTION Maleic acid and Fumaric acid are both compounds belonging to the carboxylic acids class. In this experiment‚ we formed the two isomers of 1‚2-ethylenedicarboxylic acid and tested the solubility and melting points of both of these products. Both of these compounds involve a carbon-carbon double bond that is composed of one σ bond and one π bond. The overlap of sp2 hybrid orbitals forms the σ bond‚ and one empty p orbital forms the π bond. This process is illustrated in the figure below:

    The change in syntactic function and paradigm‚ i.e. in distribution‚ that the stem undergoes in conversion is obvious from the examples. As to the semantic changes‚ they are at first sight somewhat chaotic. Many authors have pointed out that dust v means lto remove dust from smth* and also the opposite‚ i.e. ’to powder’‚ ’to cover with smth’ (e. g. to dust a cake with sugar); stone v means ’to throw stones at1‚ ’to put to death by throwing stones at1 and also ’to remove the stones’ (from fruit).
