Komal Patel Chemistry Honors Period: 5 February 29, 2016 Chemical Reaction Lab Report Introduction A chemical reaction is when substances (reactants) change into other substances (products). The five general types of chemical reactions are synthesis (also known as direct combination), decomposition, single replacement (also known as single displacement), double replacement (also known as double displacement), and combustion. In this lab, the five general types of chemical reactions were conducted and observations were taken before, during, and after the reaction. Then the reactants and observations were used to determine the products to form a balanced chemical equation. The purpose of this lab was to learn and answer the question: How can observations be used to determine the identity of substances produced in a chemical reaction ?

Rates of Reaction Essay example Investigating the rate of reaction between sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid I am going to measure the rate of the reaction when hydrochloric acid is added to sodium thiosulphate. I am going to investigate what effect the concentration of the sodium thiosulphate has on the reaction rate. When sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid are mixed, a yellow precipitate of sulphur is produced. The solution becomes increasingly difficult to see through as more and more sulphur is formed. This is how I plan to measure the rate of the reaction. I will place a laminated cross underneath the solution and will stop the stop clock when the cross can no longer be seen. I aim to conduct a fair and safe investigation to determine what affects ...show more content... This is collision theory . The two molecules will only react if they have enough energy. This is known as activation energy. Increasing the concentration of the reactants will increase the frequency of collisions between the two reactants. The following diagram illustrates this theory with the reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid, whereas we are using sodium thiosulphate instead of magnesium, but the theory is clearer if we use a solid as one of the reactants. However, when collisions occur, they do not always result in a reaction. Only if the two colliding molecules have sufficient energy will they react. This is the kinetic theory. It is normally applied to temperature, i.e., increasing temperature means the molecules move faster, but it is also relevant here. So, we can deduce from this that the temperature will also affect the experiment and therefore must remain constant. It is also relevant to note the following: – For a chemical reaction to take place, some bonds in the reactants must be broken. The colliding particles must have enough energy to break these bonds. This minimum amount of energy is called the activation energy, as mentioned previously. Only the very fastest moving particles have enough energy to break bonds.
In gases, liquids and in a solution, the particles move at a range of speeds. Some are moving very slowly and others are Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Chemical Reaction : Chemical Reactions Background Information: A chemical reaction is the change of a substance into a new one that has a different chemical identity (Chemical Reaction , 2015). It rearranges the atoms of the reactants to create different chemical elements or compounds. Chemical reactions occur because an atom is trying to get a full outer shell of electrons. A chemical reaction is usually accompanied by easily observable physical effects such as the emission of heat and light, precipitate, gas and colour change (Factors that affect reaction rates, 2015). When a chemical reaction is complete there will be stability, no further charge and no energy being released or absorbed. The rate of a chemical reaction is the speed at which the reaction occurs. Some reactions are essentially instantaneous while other may take decades. The factors that influence that the rates of chemical reactions include the temperature, the solvent, surface area and the presence of a catalyst (Factors that affect reaction rates, 2015) . Temperature increases the average kinetic energy making it move faster and collide more frequently, increasing the reaction rate (Reaction Rates, 2015). Solvent viscosity is the density and thickness of the solution. The more viscous the fluid, the more dense it will be and so it will take longer to diffuse causing the reaction time to be slower (Factors that affect reaction rates, 2015). The surface area is increased by grinding or cutting the substance into smaller pieces. If the surface Get more content on StudyHub.Vip
Reaction Paper on Accounting Chapter 7 Reflection Paper Financial Accounting Buildings, machinery, equipment, furniture, fixtures, computers, cars and trucks are examples of assets that will last for more than one year, but will not last indefinitely. These are some examples of long–lived non–monetary assets. When these assets were acquired, the company has made an expenditure. If the company will benefit in the curret period, the cost of the goods are expenses. If the benefits are expected in future periods, the costs are assets during the current period and the expenditures are capitalized. The cost of these non–monetary assets should be matched with the revenues that are obtained from its use in the future periods. In general there are two types of long–lived ...show more content... Under any depreciation method, the maximum depreciation during the life of an asset is limited to the cost of the asset. The difference in depreciation methods involves when you will report the depreciation. It's a matter of timing. When property, plant, and equipment are disposed of, their dollar amounts must be removed from the accounts and any other assets received must be recorded. One reason knowledge of the effects of disposals of property, plant, and equipment are important to managers is that such disposals can result in useful resources. Another reason is that such disposals can affect the company's net income. When considering disposing of property, plant, and equipment, managers must consider whether the advantages of obtaining usable resources are enough to offset the possible negative income effects. It is also possible to increase resources through the disposal of property, plant, and equipment. In such cases, resources and sources of resources increase. The increases in sources of resources are called gains and appear on the income statement as part of other revenues and expenses. Some properties and equipments are disposed by trading them in or exchanging them for new assets. If the trade in is similar, its value is assumed to be the net book value. If the asset traded is dissimilar, its value is its estimated fair value. Wasting assets refer to natural resources such as coal, oil or gas. Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Chemical Reaction : Chemical Reactions Chemical Reactions A chemical reaction is a "chemical change that occur when chemical bonds between atoms are formed or broken." The substance that goes into a chemical reaction is the reactant, and the substances produced produced at the end of the reaction are known as products. Chemical reactions are all around us constantly occurring, anything from a candle burning to the rusting on a fence are examples of a chemical reaction . Chemical reactions can be noticed by Chemical Change some example of chemical change are change in temperature, change in color, bubbles, precipitate, light, and odor.

Compounds are formed by combination of atoms in simple ratios to give compound atoms." The theory was the basis of modern chemistry Dalton's theory provided a basis for understanding the results of earlier experimentalists, including the The Law for Conservation of Matter and the Law of Constant Composition, which stated all samples of a substance have identical elemental compositions. These theory's and experiments defined the concept of chemical reactions. Thousands of known chemical reactions occur in living things, in industrial processes and in laboratories. To more easily predict the outcome of chemical reactions a basic system of classification was put in place for chemical reactions. The system categorized the reactions into five different groups Synthesis, Decomposition, Single–Replacement Reaction, Double–Replacement, and Combustion reactions. When scientists are creating new compounds from other substances, chemists say they are synthesizing a new material. A synthesis reaction is a reaction where two or more elements or compounds combine to from one compound. This reaction type fallows this general form A + B = AB Where A and B can be either compounds or elements. For example 2Na + Cl = 2NaCl These reactions are Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Essay On Reaction Time Statistics direct investigation Introduction The aim of this investigation Is to determine if there is a difference in reaction time between males and females, if so which sex has the fastest average reaction time. To determine which sex has the fastest average reaction time, a sample group of seven males and seven females will be used. This group will take an online visual reaction test. This data will be graphed into histograms (a graph to visually represent the reaction time for each sex ) and box and whisker plots, the mean and medium of this data will also be found. The group with the lowest five number summary will be found to have the fastest reaction time. The five–number summary contains five statistical values the minimum value, ...show more content... From this sample size, these results indicate that males have a faster average reaction time as four values of the five–point summary have been found to be faster in males. The range for the female values are 0.09 seconds (difference between the maximum and minimum values), whilst the range for males are 0.082 seconds. These graphs (figure 1.3 and figure 1.4) depicts a greater spread of data in the female reaction time compared to the male . These figures also depict all male's reaction times begin under the 0.3–second mark compared to the females with two values above the 0.3 mark. Analysis The results suggest that the average male reaction time is faster than females, which is indicated by the males having a faster mean and lower values from the five–point summary. The range of the data points for both males and females are similar. It was also found that males have more consistent reaction times (with each other) (figure 1.4), four males have the same range. Compared to females in which the highest shared value range was two people (figure 1.3). However, this may be a coincidence and could not be proven until the sample size of the practical is increased. The values utilized for both males and females were found to have no outliers (Calculate upper boundary = Quartile 3 + 1.5 x Interquartile range any values above this are considered an outliers) (Calculate lower boundary = Quartile 3 – 1.5 x interquartile range any Get more content on StudyHub.Vip
Equilibrium And The Chemical Reaction Introduction: Equilibrium, in a chemical reaction, is the state in which the concentrations of both the reactants and products remain constant. This phenomenon occurs because of the rates of both the forward and reverse reactions are equal. The concept of equilibrium is extremely important in our daily lives as it assists the industrial production of ammonia, the understanding of the acid dissociation constant (acid/base equilibria) and so on and so forth. In this lab, we will examine an equilibrium reaction, a solubility curve and the thermodynamics associated with equilibrium concepts in a simple manner. The dissolution reaction we will be examining in this experiment is shown below. KNO3(s) + H2O(l) –>–< K+(aq) + NO3−(aq) As water with calculated amounts of potassium nitrate (KNO3) is heated to certain temperature , the KNO3 will fully dissolve. When the solution is cooled down to a specific temperature, KNO3 will recrystallize and that temperature is recorded. The solubility (mol/L) of the compound will be measured for six or seven temperatures over a range of 40°C–60°C as more volume of water is added to solution. With the collected data, several thermodynamic variables (ΔH, ΔS and ΔG) will be calculated. In this experiment, we will make two simplifying assumptions in the calculations: #1. The activities of the ions and the ionic strength of the solutions are not considered. #2. The temperature at which the crystals become visible is probably lower then Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

The Reaction Of An Enzyme Essay An enzyme is a macromolecule that acts as a catalyst, a chemical agent that speeds up a reaction without being consumed by the reaction (Coleman 2016). With different pHs and temperatures the enzyme's rate of reaction can drastically alter. For example, peroxidase, a type of enzyme that is found in various plant tissues, was used to look into the reactions of Guaiacol + H2O2 –> Tetraguaiacol +2H2O mixed into test tubes. Following the extract of the enzyme the process of standardization was taking place in order to determine the amount of extract of peroxidase to use. Then data about the production of tetraguaiacol absorbance were recorded into a scatter plot and tables. Factors that were recorded in 15 second increments were the amount of extract, pH values, and boiling rate of reactions altered. The 0.5 mL had a lower change of reaction rate than the control while the 2.0 mL also had a lower rate of reaction. Then for boiling it seems that it hit a point of denaturation, because of the slope reached positive at first, then it had a negative slope, which lead to the process of breaking down hydrogen bonds. Containing the data about the three factors used for peroxidase is important, for results may alter or would not occur, due to the lack of optimal conditions met (Barron 2014).

Transfusion Reaction Essay Transfusion Reactions A transfusion reaction is the body's systemic response to the administration of blood. Causes for transfusion reactions can include red cell incompatibility; allergic response due to leukocytes, platelets, plasma protein components of transfused blood, or the anticoagulant (potassium or citrate preservatives) used to store the blood , just to name a few. Symptoms, prevention, and treatment will be discussed for the following transfusion reactions: Transfusion Associated Circulatory Overload (TACO), Transfusion–Related Acute Long Injury (TRALI), Hemolytic Transfusion Reactions, Anaphylaxis and Allergic Transfusion Reactions, and Febrile Transfusion Reactions. Transfusion–Associated Circulatory Overload (TACO) is a reaction that can happen during or shortly after the completion of the transfusion. It is a frequent and often serious. TACO is causes pulmonary edema which mimic's congestive heart failure. This is due rapidly infusing a large volume transfusion to a patient who is not able to handle the expanded blood volume. Some symptoms of TACO include headache, shortness of breath, and systolic hypertension. In order to prevent this from happening, transfusions to susceptible patients must be carefully administered and monitored. If a patient is at risk for volume overload, only a small amount of the transfused product should be transfused. For treatment, the excess volume must be removed, clinically, by diuresis.

Chemical Reactions Essay Chemical Reactions Chemical reactions are the heart of chemistry. People have always known that they exist. The Ancient Greeks were the firsts to speculate on the composition of matter. They thought that it was possible that individual particles made up matter. Later, in the Seventeenth Century , a German chemist named Georg Ernst Stahl was the first to postulate on chemical reaction, specifically, combustion. He said that a substance called phlogiston escaped into the air from all substances during combustion. He explained that a burning candle would go out if a candle snuffer was put over it because the air inside the snuffer became saturated with phlogiston. According to his ideas, wood is made up of phlogiston and ash, ...show more content... There are now many classification systems to classify the different types of reactions . These include decomposition, polymerization, chain reactions, substitute reactions, elimination reactions, addition reactions, ionic reactions, and oxidation–reduction reactions. Decomposition reactions are reactions in which a substance breaks into smaller parts. As an example, ammonium carbonate will decompose into ammonia, carbon dioxide, and water. Polymerization reactions are reactions in which simpler substances combine to form a complex substance. The thing that makes this reaction unusual is that the final product is composed of hundreds of the simpler reagent (a substance that contributes to a chemical reaction) species. One example is the polymerization of terephthalic acid with ethylene glycol to form the polymer called Dacron, a fibre, or Mylar, in sheet form: nH2OC(C6H4)CO2H + nHOCH2CH2OH –> [...OC(C6H4)CO2CH2CH2O...]n 2nH2O in which n is a large number of moles. A chain reaction is a series of smaller reactions in which the previous reaction forms a reagent for the next reaction. The synthesis of hydrogen bromide is a good example: H2 + Br2 –> 2HBr This is a simple equation that doesn't properly prove the reaction. It is very complex and starts with this:

Reaction Paper On Existentialism The world we live in is an odd one; some cope with its absurdities through intensive faith, others through utter disregard of all its meaning. Existentialism, however, leads us down a peculiar path that blurs these concepts into one unique belief system. While we might be faced with situations beyond our complete control, we do have the power to control how we handle said situations and whether or not we choose to cultivate significance from them. The search for significance is very primitive and so are the answers that have accompanied it throughout human history. Obviously, life doesn't have a clearly stated purpose to it; it is up to each individual to create their own relative purpose and find their own happiness in a life of suffering. This is exactly what Existentialism proposes, that it is not possible to know the truth, so it is up to the individual to create his or her own, and then create their own purpose. Merriam–Webster defines the philosophy theory of Existentialism as a "...philosophical movement embracing diverse doctrines but centering on analysis of individual existence in an unfathomable universe and the plight of the individual who must assume ultimate responsibility for acts of free will without any certain knowledge of what is right or wrong or good or bad." But Existentialism is not a concept that can simply be defined in one fell swoop. Throughout our studies of philosophy, I found there to be two main concepts that act as the foundation for the basic Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Reaction Paper On The Perfect Storm Sebastian Junger began to write The Perfect Storm "without even knowing it" (Junger XIV). His personal experience with the storm was "...standing on Gloucester's Back Shore watching thirty foot swells advance on Cape Ann..." (Junger XIV). The next day, Junger read an article in the newspaper about a Gloucester boat (The Andrea Gail ) that was believed to be lost at sea. He saved a clipping of that article and from then on, Junger began unknowingly writing the book. Junger witnessed this destructive storm in action. He also watched the 30 foot swells crash on the Gloucester shore. These personal connections persuaded Junger to write The Perfect Storm . Also, throughout the book, Junger states that fishermen do not get the respect they deserve for their dangerous jobs. Upon further research, it was found that Sebastian Junger used to work in a labor intensive job as well. He was a climber for a tree company. After he was hurt on the job, Junger realized that dangerous work was not written about a lot. As the terrible storm hit Gloucester and a fishing boat was lost at sea, Sebastion decided he would shine light on another dangerous business, the open seas fishing industry. The subject of The Perfect Storm is the Andrea Gail and the storm that it was trapped and eventually perished in. The subject is stated at the beginning of the book in the Forward. Here, Junger describes his writing process, his inspiration, and the subject of his book. Throughout the book, Junger Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Reaction Paper REACTION PAPER It is said that effective teacher will use both assessment and evaluation regularly to improve student learning and to guide instruction. Indeed, both have pivotal roles in the teaching–learning process yet, somehow they do differ in many ways. Assessment and evaluation measure whether or not learning and/or learning objectives are being met. One could look at assessment and evaluation as the journey (assessment) versus the snapshot (evaluation).

Evidence of learning could take the form of dialogue, journals, written work, portfolios, and tests along with many other learning ...show more content... In this program, teachers serves as active facilitators during the teaching–learning process. Another major change in our country's educational landscape is the implementation of the so–called K+12 education . Recently, President Aquino led the formal launching of the K+ 12 reformed basic education program at Malacañang, which makes mandatory kindergarten education for five–year– old children and two additional two years of senior high school for all students. The President noted that the Philippines is the only country in Asia and one of only three in the world – two of which are in Africa – with a 10–year basic education program. "How do Filipinos become competitive if from the very beginning we are already at a disadvantage in the number of years of studying and training? What we want is to give the next generation a strong foundation." (Aquino, 2012) The curriculum of the K+12 program will focus on the core subjects –Mathematics, Science and English– with electives that are sensitive and responsive to the learners' interest and local industry needs. The Department of Education (DepEd) enhanced curriculum by decongesting academic workload, giving students more time to master competencies and participating in co–curricular activities and community Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Essay on Reaction Time Reaction Time Objective: To determine reaction time and to access the accuracy of the measured time. Equipment: Timer, pencil or pen, meter stick, coffee filter, and metal ball Discussion: The significance of this experiment is to help us measure and understand our reaction time. Reaction time is the amount of time between something happening and you responding to it. We also did some free fall experiments with a ruler, a coffee filter, and a steel ball. This means that we dropped objects from a resting position that has nothing attached to it is only under the influence of gravity. Since we have a few seconds delay starting and stopping a timer after the object has begun to drop and after it hits the floor we used the measurements ...show more content... The reaction times for my group was .26. .17, .1453, .15479 seconds. My average catch was .1035 meters and my reaction time was .1453 seconds. I had the lowest reaction time. I accredit my reaction to the fact that I concentrated on the ruler falling and blocking everything else out. Then we took a coffee filter and used the meter stick and dropped it 10 times from the top of meter stick while timing. We found that the mean of the coffee filter free fall was 3.80 seconds and the mean deviation was +/–.523 seconds. Then we took the metal ball and dropped it 10 times from the top of the meter stick while timing. We found that the mean of the steel ball time was .577 seconds and the mean deviation was +/– .115 seconds. The last event we measured for reaction was our heart beats. We recorded the time it took to count 100 heart beats. It took me 1 minute 6 seconds and 93 hundredths of seconds to count out 100 heart beats. When we evaluated the possible percentage of error we found that we had 25.18% of error of reaction time for the metal ball which is high. We found that there was a 3.82% of error of reaction time for the coffee filter this is relatively low. I found that I had .22% of error of reaction time for my count of heart beats is relatively low. There are number of different reasons we could have source of errors for the free fall experiments. One could be human reaction which would be timing. If we start the timer after the ball began to drop Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Reaction Paper On Stress Have you ever wanted to pull your hair out or just yell at someone because you have a lot of pressure on you? This is called stress. Stress originates from a wide range of things and is the reason of many problem in a person's life. There are three main types of stress acute stress, episodic acute stress, and chronic stress . Each has their own characteristics, symptoms, duration, and treatment approaches. From work stress to grieving stress there are different ways to cope with it. "Stress occurs when pressure exceeds your perceived ability to cope" (Palmer 26). So, it is not just external pressure, for example achieving due dates that leads to stress, however whether you trust that you can adapt a circumstance that you see as essential or undermining. Research has demonstrated that there is a genuine physiological distinction amongst pressure and stress. Individuals encountering stress have larger amounts of the different stress hormones in their circulatory system than individuals who feels just challenged. The imperative point to note is this varies from individual to individual. One individual's pressure is someone else's stress. Everybody has distinctive stress trigger. Work stress tops the list, according to survey. Forty percent of U.S. labors confess to encountering office stress and one–quarter say work is the greatest sources of their lives. Circumstance that are probably going to cause stress are those that are unusual or uncontrollable, uncertain vague or Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Climate Change Reaction Paper What characterises academic writing? It is perhaps tempting to think that Academic Writing (AW) is guided by a fairly homogeneous set of rules and aspects. This is so, possibly because we frequently see books with titles such as Academic Writing and Writing Academic English, and we hear from fellow students, teachers, colleagues and friends about the need for skills within written academic English. However, even if there arguably are core aspects and skills, it is important to acknowledge the fact that many differences exist when it comes to how certain disciplines grapple the challenges of writing academic discourse. The question, then, is whether we should rather talk about Academic Writings, to highlight this heterogeneity. A General ...show more content... | | – Subjective and personal, e.g. In my essay I will attempt to... – Asking rhetorical questions, e.g. How can this be so? | On the whole, this means that academic writing is generally characterised by a high degree of formality. However, the characteristic of impersonal voice, for example, is not without contention. Even though tables of comparison like the one above can sometimes serve the purpose of highlighting differences between writing that is more academically oriented, and less formal writing, which is used in other domains, it can indeed be dangerous to paint such a polarised picture. We need to remember, for example, that a more subjective and personal style does occur in some text types in some academic disciplines. Therefore, a table like the one presented above should be treated with caution and only be seen as a very coarse and simplified view of the characteristics of academic writing. Another example of advice given to students on how to write academic English is taken from a textbook for graduate students written by Swales and Feak (1994). In the introductory chapter, the authors present six characteristic considerations of academic writing: audience, purpose, organisation, style, flow, and presentation. When discussing style, they give the following advice on how to maintain a formal academic writing style. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Swales &amp; Feak (1994) on how to maintain a formal academic Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Reaction Paper About Stress Stress can be a reaction to a short–lived situation, such as being in traffic. Or it can feel like it lasts for ever if you're dealing with any serious situation. Stress often occurs in response to situations that are perceived as being difficult to handle or threatening. Each person reacts to stress differently and common causes for stress include illness, injury, fear, and anxiety . Personality traits also increase the risk for stress, they include over–competitiveness, excitability, impatience, aggression, and pessimism. Stress is dangerous, it can interfere with your ability to live a normal life over an extended period. The annual Stress in America survey measures attitudes and perceptions of stress through the nation, and find the leading sources of stress, common behaviors used to manage stress and the impact that stress has on our lives. Since the first survey in 2006, stress levels have gradually decreased for Americans, with results from the 2016 poll showing the lowest overall reported stress level in 10 years. However, an additional poll was conducted in early 2017 shows more Americans a reporting symptoms of stress because of personal safety. Identifying Signs of Stress Everyone experiences stress, it can come from varieties of things such as school or work, sustaining different types of relationships, or managing life in general. Too much stress can create unnecessary challenges, and people can be unaware when they are experiencing feelings of stress. You Get more content on StudyHub.Vip
