complex reactions and reaction sequences‚ where raw materials react together to give the product. Such chemical process often releases energy‚ in the form of heat‚ and the reaction is described as exothermic. Many of these reactions may also evolve gases at high rates‚ and could cause reactor over-pressure. Thermal runaway reaction Runaway reactions are thermally unstable reactions where the heat of reaction can raise the temperature of the reactants sufficiently to accelerate the reaction rate out

One view is that the literacy rate has risen from 72% to 90% in the last 30 years. According to the 2005 Functional Literacy‚ Education‚ and Mass Media Survey conducted by the National Statistics Office (NSO)‚ 48.4 million or 84% of the estimated 57.6 million Filipinos who are 10 to 64 years old are said to be "functionally" literate (Source: "8 out of 10 Filipinos are functionally literate" by D.

Effect of osmosis rate on different surface areas‚ depending on different types of water solution An investigation showing the effect of surface area on osmosis rate‚ including some different types of water concentration. Osmosis is a type of passive (not requiring energy) transport of water molecules across partially permeable membrane‚ from an area of high water concentration into area of low water concentration. But how does surface area affect rate of osmosis? Surface area plays important

is day 0‚ the loan will be initiated on day 60 and will mature on day 210.) The implied forward rate over 150 days‚ and hence the rate on 150-day FRA‚ is 2.5%. The actual interest rate over that period could be either 2.4% or 2.6%. (a) If the interest rate on day 60 is 2.6%‚ how much will the lender have to pay if the FRA is settled on day 60? How much if it is settled on day 210? (b) If the interest rate on day 60 is 2.4%‚ how much will the lender have to pay if the FRA is settled on day 60? How much

can be potentially more important for the next generation than it is for us. The issue is birth rate or population‚ what it is now and what it will be in the future. First of all‚ what is birth rate? The birth rate is the total number of births per 1000 of a population in a year. As you may know‚ by subtracting the death rate from the birth rate we will result in the rate of population. Here is a display of the birth rate from 1950 to 2015. Year Birth rate 19501955 37.2 19551960 35.3 19601965 34.9

BIOL2220 Lab 3: Hill Reaction Introduction In 1937‚ Robert Hill discovered that isolated chloroplasts can generate oxygen when they are illuminated in the presence of a suitable electron acceptor‚ even in the absence of carbon dioxide. This finding was a landmark in the study of photosynthesis because it established that the source of the electrons used in the light reactions is water. It also confirmed that the released oxygen is derived from water instead of carbon dioxide. In chloroplasts

The purpose of this lab was to find my and my fellow classmates resting heart rate and record it. There were seven people in the class and we all participated in this study. There are four places to check heart rate and they are in your wrist‚ the inside of your elbow‚ the side of your neck‚ or the top of your foot. Everyone used the wrist or their radial artery. We used our middle and index fingers to gently feel for the radial artery in each others pulse. I then counted the pulse for 10 seconds

Free exchange Savers’ lament The complex effects of low interest rates on consumption and investment Dec 1st 2012 | from The Economist print edition WHEN interest rates hit double digits in the late 1970s‚ house-builders sent planks of wood to the Federal Reserve in protest. With rates stuck near zero‚ the protests now come from the opposite direction. The retired complain of a “war on savings”. The Fed cut rates to current levels at the end of 2008 and has promised to keep them there until
