How Important is the Penny? The one-cent coin‚ commonly known as the penny‚ was made legal by the Coinage Act of 1864. On the penny that we carry in our pockets‚ is the face of the 16th President of the United States‚ Abraham Lincoln. Throughout the years‚ the penny has helped shape our culture‚ by giving us sayings and idioms‚ such as ¨a penny for your thoughts¨ and ¨not one red cent”. Over the years‚ the penny has seen many things‚ yet now a conflict has arisen: Should the United States keep producing

Penny Marshall has directed six films in her career: "The Preachers Wife"(1996)‚ "Renaissance Man"(1994)‚ "A League of Their Own"(1992)‚ "Awakenings"(1990)‚ "Big"(1998)‚ and "Jumpin’ Jack Flash"(1986). We know Penny best from her stint in Laverne and Shirley (1976-1983) as the hilarious Laverne De Fazio. After the series was cancelled Laverne appeared in some pictures until her directorial debut in "Jumpin’ Jack Flash". This film was pretty much a bomb and Penny gained credibility as a director in

If a chemical reaction occurred‚ write a balanced equation for it. Then using the A‚ B symbols‚ write a general equation for a single-displacement reaction. Here are the chemical formulas of the reactants for each reaction: • zinc – Zn copper sulfate – CuSO4 • aluminum – Al copper sulfate – CuSO4 •

its constituent elements. The purpose of this lab was to test for law of definite proportion through determining percentage composition of each element in Magnesium oxide. I hypothesized that the composition mass of magnesium will be more than oxygen and this would be the result for other groups as well. My null hypothesis was that if the experiment is done accurately‚ the percentage composition of magnesium shouldn’t exceed 65%. Material: -Refer to lab manual on page 180 in Nelson Chemistry 11

Identification of a Hydrate Based on Percent Water Varun Wadhwa 11/19/12 Introduction The identity of an unknown hydrate was determined by massing the hydrate before and after heating and calculating the percentage of water. Procedure First‚ we cleaned‚ dried and heated an evaporating dish for five minutes on an iron ring with the Bunsen burner and massed it. Then‚ we added 2 grams of an unknown hydrate and calculated the mass of that. Next‚ we used gradually increasing heat for

Argumentative Essay 1 The topic of this argumentative essay is whether the United States should keep the penny or stop the production and distribution of it. My claim is yes‚ we should stop the production of the penny. My reasons being that pennies are a waste of space(Jeff Sommer)‚ it costs more to produce them than what they are worth(Jeff Sommer)‚ and with pennies gone‚ retail sales will be rounded up or down(Jeff Sommer). The counterclaim is that we should not stop the production and distribution

Aim The purpose of this experiment is to determine the percentage by mass of calcium carbonate in eggshells. Introduction To avoid the breakage of eggs before reaching market‚ the eggshells needs to be as strong as possible. The strength of eggshells is mainly determined by the percentage of calcium carbonate in it. In order to monitor the quality of eggshells‚ the following experiment has to be done to determine the percentage of calcium carbonate in eggshells. In this experiment‚ back titration

Percent Copper in Brass Background The scientific concepts involved in this lab include Spectroscopy‚ Beer’s law‚ Calibration curve‚ concentration‚ and electronic transitions. The main objective of this experiment is to see how the percent composition of brass can be determined to verify the properties influenced by copper and zinc. Brass is a generic term for alloys of copper and zinc. The main technique used in this experiment is Spectroscopy. The three equations used in this lab are: Y = mx

To determine the percentage by mass of Calcium carbonate in an egg shell Aim: is to find and work out the percentage of calcium carbonate by mass in eggshells by using acid base “back titration” Introduction: Calcium Carbonate‚ CaCO₃‚ is a compound which is polymorphic and therefore means that it can be found in a variety of different objects or organisms. For example: Rocks (limestone‚calcite)‚ sea snail shells‚ Eggshells‚ pearls and many more. This investigation will focus on finding out the

Copper Cycle Summary During the copper cycle lab‚ my partners and I performed a series of reactions on copper powder and observed the changes it underwent. For the first step‚ we mixed nitric acid and copper powder‚ and noticed that a yellowish brown gas emerged‚ along with effervescence. The red solid disappeared and became a blue liquid. We know that we produced copper nitrate‚ nitrate gas‚ and water because the only two blue solutions in “A New Language” are copper sulfate and copper nitrate
