1. What transitions has Earth gone through and why? The young earth was anything but habitable. Radioactive elements decaying within its mass and impacts from debris raining down form space generated intense heat. There was no life during this era. Is called the Hadean era and was formed about 4.5 billion years ago. Hadean comes from the Greek word Hades which means “Hell”. That’s how hot the Earth’s temperature was. The next phase in the Earth’s history was the Archean era. It existed

Specific Heat of a Metal Post-Lab I. Purpose The purpose of this lab is to determine the specific heat of an unknown metal. II. Safety Wear goggles and lab apron at all times. Use caution when boiling water. Do not pick up hot beaker or hot metal with hands. Use tongs. III. Pre-Lab Questions 1. A 12.5 g metal is raised to 100C in boiling water. It is put into 82.8 g of water at 22.4C‚ and the water rises to 28.6C. Recalling that the specific heat of water is 4.18J/gC‚ use the equation above

Density of Metals Problem: How does the mass and volume help determine the density of known metal samples? Hypothesis: When comparing the density of Zn(zinc) and Cu(copper)‚ you will find that Copper is more dense than Zinc. You can test this out by using the density formula D=m/v. Materials: * 2 metals (options: zn‚ al‚ or cu) * 3 samples of each metal (small‚ medium‚ and large) * Scale/Balance * Calculator * Water * Graduated Cylinder Safety: * Be prepared for your

Experiments with Metals and Ions of Metals Introduction Metals are similar in their physical properties in general‚ but they are not identical. Most of the metals are solids; few of them are liquids‚ such as mercury and cesium. Density of metals is not similar also. For example‚ sodium has density of 0.97g/cm3 while lead has density of 11.4g/cm3. Melting point of sodium is 98.0oC while for lead it is 327.6oC. Metals have the capability to lose electrons when they react with non-metals such as
