Title: Liquids and Solids Purpose: The experiment will help determine two important physical properties‚ boiling and melting point‚ of liquids and solids. Procedure: Before starting the experiment I gathered all materials appropriate for the experiment and prepare a safe environment for my experiment. I record the boiling point of the Isopropyl Alcohol and the melting point of powdered Acetamide with lab equipment such as the thermometer‚ capillary tube‚ beaker‚ test tube‚ and burner fuel

Chem 21 Fall 2009 Experiment 9 — Recrystallization _____________________________________________________________________________ Pre-lab preparation. (1) Read the supplemental material from Zubrick‚ The Organic Chem Lab Survival Manual. (2) Draw the structure of acetanilide and report relevant physical data. Be sure to cite the source of the data. You should be able to figure out what’s relevant by reading the procedure. (3) Find and report the boiling points of the solvents you will be using

Buoyant Forces The purpose of this lab is to calculate buoyant forces of objects submerged in water. The first step in the lab was to measure the mass of a metal cylinder‚ which was found to be 100g‚ and then to calculated it’s weight‚ which was .98 newtons. Then next step was to measure the apparent weight of the cylinder when it is completely submerged in a bath of water using the formula Wa=ma*g ‚ this was found to be 88.5grams. Knowing these two numbers‚ the buoyant force that the water

HL Vectors Notes 1. Vector or Scalar Many physical quantities such as area‚ length‚ mass and temperature are completely described once the magnitude of the quantity is given. Such quantities are called “scalars.” Other quantities possess the properties of magnitude and direction. A quantity of this kind is called a “vector” quantity. Winds are usually described by giving their speed and direction; say 20 km/h north east. The wind speed and wind direction together form a vector quantity

Air Pollution -occurs when gases‚ dust particles‚ fumes (or smoke) are introduced into the atmosphere in a way that makes it harmful to humans‚ animals and plant. This is because the air becomes dirty or contaminated. -the introduction into the atmosphere of chemicals‚ particulates‚ biological materials that cause discomfort‚ disease‚ or death to humans‚ damage other living organisms Air Pollutants -Things that pollute the air -A substance in the air that can be adverse to humans and the environment

discussion I would like to contrast controlled laboratory experiments and naturalistic observations research methods. In controlled laboratory experiments‚ the researchers conduct their studies in a controlled setting. Conversely‚ studies involving naturalistic observation‚ examine participants in their natural environment. Below I present a contrast of the most essential features of each of these methods of research. Controlled laboratory experiments: • Objective: Seek to compare two or more conditions

December 2011 Vectors Math is everywhere. No matter which way you look at it‚ it’s there. It is especially present in science. Most people don’t notice it‚ they have to look closer to find out what it is really made of. A component in math that is very prominent in science is the vector. What is a vector? A vector is a geometric object that has both a magnitude and a direction. A good example of a vector is wind. 30 MPH north. It has both magnitude‚(in this case speed) and direction. Vectors have specific

I have come up with an experiment to test the 3 variables to figure out what treatments if any will work the best. My hypothesis is that all 3 of the suggestive treatments when done before flying on an airplane‚ will reduce the effects of jet lag. Experiment: A commercial airplane traveling from New York City to Los Angles non –stop will be selected at random. All passengers will be randomly

quantity which depends on direction a vector quantity‚ and a quantity which does not depend on direction is called a scalar quantity. Vector quantities have two characteristics‚ a magnitude and a direction. Scalar quantities have only a magnitude. When comparing two vector quantities of the same type‚ you have to compare both the magnitude and the direction. For scalars‚ you only have to compare the magnitude. When doing any mathematical operation on a vector quantity (like adding‚ subtracting‚ multiplying
