1. Physical Properties of Water and Ice 1. Molecular Weight: A. 18.01528 g/mol Water‚ Molar mass Triple Point The temperature and pressure at which solid‚ liquid‚ and gaseous water coexist in equilibrium is called the triple point of water. This point is used to define the units of temperature (the kelvin‚ the SI unit of thermodynamic temperature and‚ indirectly‚ the degree Celsius and even the degree Fahrenheit). As a consequence‚ water’s triple point temperature is a prescribed value rather

After the discovery of isotopy by Frederic Soddy and Kasimir Fajans‚ it was found that elements considered to be non-active may possess radioactive isotopes having almost identical chemical properties [1]. Radioisotopes are atoms with a nucleus that is seeking a more stable configuration by emitting radiation. Scientists have learned that more radioisotopes could be created by subjecting certain elements to radiation inside a nuclear reactor or bombarding them using a particle accelerator

Culture in Horror Films Final Paper The Atomic Bomb‚ Mutations‚ and Aliens in Horror Films Horror films prey upon the mass’s deepest darkest and most vulnerable fears. Horror films can be broken down into an array of subgenres that prey upon different fears of society. From 1945 onward an explosion of mutations‚ aliens‚ and monsters have dominated aspects of horror culture that prey upon peoples fears of nuclear power and its consequences. The fear of nuclear power is the fear of the unknown
Free Nuclear weapon World War II Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Should every country have the right to possess nuclear weapons? On the 6th November 1945‚ a United States bomber flew towards the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The only cargo aboard that B-29 bomber was an atomic bomb – ironically nicknamed “Little Boy” - that was to be dropped on its target. At 8.15am and at a height of around 2‚000ft the bomb exploded above Hiroshima‚ taking 140‚000 lives with it. Most of the 140‚000 died instantly‚ horrifyingly the rest of the innocent civilians that were
Free Nuclear weapon Cold War Nuclear warfare
The World War II period brought new technologies and weapons of mass destruction that created tensions between countries and competition for a nuclear arms race well into the 20th century. While many countries‚ notably Germany‚ the Soviet Union‚ and USA attempted to develop technology leading to weapons of mass destruction in the World War II period‚ the US was the only country that successfully built an atomic bomb before the end of the war. There was significant research conducted by scientists

Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs) Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators are used to convert heat from the natural radioactive decay of plutonium into electrical energy. In The Martian‚ they had used RTGs to power the MAV far away from their habitat incase of a radioactive leakage. In real life‚ the radiation on Mars is more dangerous that the radiation from RTGs‚ so the natural radiation
