determination of thermodynamic variables of KNO3 is presented. KNO3 was heated and dissolved in varying volumes of distilled water. Upon dissolution‚ the KNO3 solution was removed from heat and the temperature was recorded once crystals formed. For each solution‚ ∆G the Ksp were found with the temperature and molarity values. ∆H and ∆S were found through the linearization of the data with a plot of lm(Ksp) vs. . ∆G becomes increasingly negative as temperature and concentration increased. ∆H was found to be

businesses are facing increased competition and are under pressure to cut costs. They face escalating labour‚ energy or material costs and are concerned about their business’s environmental impact. Robotics is a powerful tool to address these pressures and sharpen their competitive edge. Robotics has come a long way in the last 20 years‚ from its beginning in highly structured environments‚ where native intelligence on the part of the robot was not required. Today‚ once prohibitive costs in developing on-board
