Once Upon a Time by Gabriel OkaraOnce upon a time‚ son‚they used to laugh with their heartsand laugh with their eyes:but now they only laugh with their teeth‚while their ice-block-cold eyessearch behind my shadow.There was a time indeedthey used to shake hands with their hearts:but that’s gone‚ son.Now they shake hands without heartswhile their left hands searchmy empty pockets.‘Feel at home!’ ‘Come again’:they say‚ and when I comeagain and feelat home‚ once‚ twice‚there will be no thrice-for then

Ice hockey is recognized as the national winter sport of Canada. It is a fast-paced‚ continually growing sport that requires courage‚ athletic ability‚ and determination to master. It is contended at various levels. Usually‚ any sport at the beginning starts with children playing amongst each other to have fun. At the highest level‚ the endless hours of hard training and practice are crucial for an athlete to perform to their full potential. Stickhandling‚ shooting‚ passing‚ skating and body-checking

REACTION PAPER on GOD IS DEAD The lines‚ “God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him‚” can be true in literal sense. Subjectively‚ the lines presented are very agnostic and atheistic. Those are against my will and belief as a Roman Catholic faithful. The three shorter mentioned lines are three important points to be clarified about. The first line says‚ God is dead is true in literal sense. In the Scriptures‚ it written that Jesus became man and so he died as a human. Yes‚ I believe

Checkpoint Patient Self-Determination Act In 1990‚ The Patient Self-Determination Act began. This Act would require that healthcare facilities inform patients about their right in case of an emergency situation. Also the patient would be informed about their rights to get advanced healthcare accommodations‚ and any related information that pertains to the legal impact and state laws regarding all healthcare decisions. Many of the healthcare facilities that exist today in America would

with the OH- ions from the base. H+(aq) + OH-(aq) H2O(l) When a weak acid is neutralised some of the energy is needed to dissociate the molecules to make the hydrogen ions available for neutralisation. The result is a value for neutralisation enthalpy lower than - 57 kJ/mol (numerically lower‚ not more negative!) Note that as the weak acid is in equilibrium as the hydrogen ions are ’mopped up’ by the base the equilibrium shifts to the right hand side to make more until eventually all of the

ALS Helpful or Hurtful The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge went viral on social networks‚ but is it too successful for its own good? ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) often referred to as “Lou Gehrigs Disease‚” is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord (ALS Association). It’s like Parkinson’s on super-steroids. Now‚ the challenge aspect was a simple dare. You had 24 hours to drench yourself in a bucket of ice water‚ and if you didn’t complete

Communism: On ice advantage? An iconic period in time where the world held their breath‚ not when the air hung stale over the threat of an inter- continental nuclear war was possible but comparably so during the 1972 Canada vs. Russia summit series. Ideally this should have not caused as much as a stir as it did‚ the threat of an all out nuclear war as over and a detente had been called. With two hockey loving countries buying for the title things did get especially heated both on the ice and in the

Melissa Carrithers AP Chemistry period 6 2-11-15 Determination of Ka of Weak Acids Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to find the strength of weak acids by determining the equilibrium constants for their ionization reactions in water. Is to use their measured pH values to calculate the pKa for the two unknown weak acids thus determining their identities. Hypothesis: If we neutralize a solution that contains a weak acid by adding a strong base to the solution‚ then the ions will be isolated and

Complexometric Determination of Water Hardness 9/12/2013 Abstract: Two sets of acid-base neutralization titrations were conducted for experimental analysis. The first set of titrations was to standardize a solution manufactured in the lab. An approximate solution of Na2EDTA of 0.004 M was titrated against a known solution of 1.000 g CaCO3/L to deter mine to exact molarity of the Na2EDTA. Ca2+ + Na2EDTA → CaEDTA + 2Na+ The second set of titrations was to use the now standardized Na2EDTA

Indirect determination of ∆H via Hess’s law Conclusion & Evaluation Research question: What is the ∆H/mol of hydration of CuSO4 (anh)? The ∆H/mol of hydration of CuSO4 (anh) is -70.2‚ according to the experiment done in class. It was determined by applying the Hess’s law‚ using two reactions 1) CuSO4-5H2O ----> CuSO4 (aq) + 5H2O 2) CuSO4 (anh) -----> CuSO4 (aq) According to the Hess’s Law‚ which states that the total enthalpy change for a chemical reaction is the same disregarding
