...company is ExxonMobil who retained the prestigious spot of number one for this year. However, there are other companies in the same field that are considered rivals but they also continue to strive and push forward. This paper will discuss the comparisons with the other companies in the same field. Also the financial health of said company, any technological advances, how globalization has affected the company’s business strategy and a bench marking analysis. Hess Corporation As one of the more notable competitors for ExxonMobil, this is a company that does have some extensive history behind it as well. It does have its place on the Fortune 500 list, however the number is quite down and not as high as s tome might think. This is a company that has marketed gasoline throughout more “1360 Hess gas stations in 16 U.S. states and operates a 50% owned oil storage terminal in the US Virgin Islands and a refinery in New Jersey. It also provides power to Northeast and Mid-Atlantic customers”(Andrews, 2012). “Leon Hess formed the Hess Corporation in 1933 where he purchased a 1926 second hand 615-gallon oil delivery truck and begins residential delivery, seven days a week near his home in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Between 1937-1947, recognizing that the large power companies...

...SCH 4U – U3 Hess’s Law Lab (refer to Investigation 5.4.1 “Hess’s Law”, Nelson Chemistry 12, P. 351-352) Introduction: You will use calorimetry and Hess’s Law to determine the molar enthalpy of combustion, ΔHc, of magnesium metal (Mg): Mg(s) + ½ O2 ( MgO(s) In open air, this combustion occurs too rapidly so that a calorimetric determination in the student lab would be ineffective (and impossible, considering flames!). However, a different pathway can be constructed using 3 different equations, and the ΔHc (Mg) can be calculated using Hess’s Law. Two of these reactions can be conducted in a student calorimeter to obtain first their q values, and then converted to ΔH using the relationship n ΔH = -q. This last relationship can also be written as ΔH = -q/n, and can be used only if adiabatic conditions are assumed. Lab Preparation: 1. Calculate the expected (accepted) values for ΔH1 and ΔH2 using the ΔHfo tables (source: Brady and Holum, 1988), plus the ones below: Hfo (MgCl2 (aq)) = -801.15 kJ/mol Hfo (HCl (aq)) = -162.2 kJ/mol Hfo (MgCl2 (aq)) = -601.6 kJ/mol 2. Calculate the expected ΔHc (Mg) value using Hess’s Law and the expected values for ΔH1, ΔH2, and ΔH3. 3. Show all of your work in tidy and thorough solutions. Amendments: 1. New Question to start the lab: “What is the ΔHc (Mg), determined by using a student calorimeter? How effective is the student...

...9.4 Water Balance The body’s internal environment of extracellular fluid must maintain a constant volume, solute content, and often temperature. Humans and other organisms require a stable aqueous environment to survive. They carry this aqueous environment inside their body, and they must continuously replenish and maintain it. Aquatic organisms must also maintain their internal environment, since the conditions of the external environment change in terms of solutes and temperature. Atlantic salmon spends part of its life cycle in both freshwater and saltwater environments. For the first few years of its life, the salmon lives in freshwater rivers and lakes, where the solute concentration is less than the concentration within its body. This concentration gradient results in the uptake of water into the salmon’s internal environment, and therefore homeostatic mechanisms must expel the excess water from the body. As the salmon matures, it abandons the freshwater environment for the salt water of the Atlantic Ocean, where the concentration of solutes is higher. In this saltwater environment, the salmon experiences a continuous loss of water from its body, which it must replenish. Because water is not as abundant on land as it is in aquatic environments, terrestrial organisms require mechanisms to conserve water and maintain a homeostatic balance of solutes within their body. OSMOSIS – define the following: During osmosis, water molecules move from a region where they are highly...

...EXPERIMENT 3 Title : EXPERIMENTAL APPLICATIONS OF HESS’S LAW Objective : To determine the heat of reaction by applying Hess’s Law for reactions whose energy cannot be easily measured directly. Introduction An exothermic reaction releases heat into the surroundings and is usually observed as temperature increases in the solvent, container, and other immediate surroundings. The amount of heat released from the reaction can be expressed as q reaction = q solution + q calorimeter ……..(1) In this experiment, the calorimeter is assumed to absorb so little heat that q calorimeter is nearly zero and thus the equation simplifies to q reaction = q solution ……...(2) The temperature change caused by the addition of a given amount of heat will depend on the specific heat, Csp of the substance. Thus, the heat involved can be calculated by the equation Q = (Csp)(m)(T) ………(3) The mass of the substance is m, and the change in temperature is T (final temperature – initial temperature) Since this experiment is run at constant pressure, thus the heat changes observed will be equal to the enthalpies of reaction, H for the reactions considered. The enthalpies of these directly observed reactions and Hess’s law will be used to calculate the enthalpy change for an additional reaction which is not directly observed. Recall that since enthalpy is a state function, the enthalpy change for any process will depend only on the initial and final states...

...Harry Hess was born in New York on May 27, 1906. He died on August 26, 1969. Harry Hess made many contributions to science such as he discovered features on the floor of the ocean that appeared to be mountains with the tops flattened. Harry Hess used sounding equipment. The sounding equipment takes measurements of the sea floor. Harry Hess is a geologist who studies plate tectonics theory. The theory of plate tectonics explains the features and movement of Earth’s surface in the present and the past. Harry Hess received a Bachelor of Science degree from Yale in 1931 and a Ph.D. from Princeton in 1932. In 1934, He became a professor at Princeton University, where he became the head of the Geology department. He became the head of the geology department in 1950. Also in 1964 the sixth Blair Professor of Geology. Harry Hess died of a heart attack on August 26, 1969 in Massachusetts. Dr. Hess’ most significant contribution to plate tectonic theory began in 1945 when he was the commander of the U.S.S. Cape Johnson. While traveling from one place to another, Hess left the sounding equipment on that takes measurements of the sea floor. It was at the time the time that Dr. Hess discovered features on the floor of the ocean that seemed to be mountains with flattened tops. He called these features on the floor of...

...Harry Hess is a well-recognized person in the geology community for his discoveries supporting the theory of continental drift. He was the first person to discover that there was an under-sea mountain chain and he also proposed the theory of seafloor spreading. He made these findings while working on a boat in the Atlantic, he left the sounding equipment on so it would take measurements of the seafloor but what he found out was that the seafloor consisted of large mountains that had been flattened on the top. Dr. Hess published a book backing and explaining Alfred Wegner’s theory of continental drift and how it worked called History of Ocean Basins which also answered many unanswered questions in the geology community. Harry Hess was much more than just a geologist. Harry Hess was born May 27, 1906 in New York City. He received a Bachelor of science from Yale in 1931 and his Ph.D. from Princeton in 1932. Upon graduation Hess taught 1 year at Rutgers University and spent a year as a research assistant at a geophysical laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. In 1934 he became a professor at Princeton. In 1950 he became head of the geology department at Princeton and in 1963 became the Sixth Blair of Geology.

...Introduction The energy content of a substance, called its enthalpy, cannot be measured. However, the enthalpy change, ∆H, of a chemical reaction can be measured. Most chemical reactions are accompanied by energy changes, usually in the form of heat energy. The enthalpy change of a reaction is the heat energy released or absorbed in a chemical reaction. Exothermic reactions are reactions that releases heat energy to the surroundings. The enthalpy of the products is lower than that of the reactants. So, ∆H is negative and its temperature of the mixture increases. Some examples of exothermic reactions have dissolution of sodium hydroxide in water, dilution of a conc. Acid, neutralization and bond formation. For calculate the amount of heat released from the reaction in this experiment, the equation can be expressed as qreaction = qsolution+ qcalorimeter − ① In this experiment, the calorimeter is absorb a very little heat or can be said that nearly to zero. Therefore the qcalorimeter can be neglect in the equation ① as well. This is because the small value of it have. Thus, the equation can be simplifies to qreaction = qsolution − ② Next, the temperature change caused by the addition of a given amount of heat will depend on the specific heat capacity, Csp of the substances. Thus, the heat involved in this experiment can be calculated from this following equation. Q = (Csp)(m)(∆T) − ③ where, m is the mass of substances...

...change your mind. Bill Hess, the General Manager gave us a tour of the hotel after his interview, it was a spectacular experience.. Inside of the hotel, adjacent to the garden area there are several banquet halls named after local areas such as “Berkshire”. The full-service aspect is provided by the Champions Sports Bar, Currents Restaurant, and Currents Bar. These food establishments bring in large amounts of revenue and help serve guests the options of breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as some entertainment. The Marriott has a wide selection of target guests for these dining establishments, including groups outside of travelers. The Champions Sports Bar helps the hotel pick up revenue from locations such as the Basketball Hall of Fame. The major hotel market segments primarily include transient travelers and group guests. Of the transient guests, the hotel’s specific target is a ‘business’ transient guest, many of which have open contracts with the hotel. One of the companies who provide frequent business travelers to the hotel includes Smith and Wesson Gun Company located in Springfield, MA. Usually happens with these company business travelers have multiple open contracts with hotels in the local area such as the Sheraton located next door to the Springfield Marriott. Once the traveler is aware of their planned stay in Springfield, they contact the multiple hotels (including the Marriott) and the battle begins for revenue in Springfield. Mr. Hess comments that it is essential...

...The Tropical Rainforest is known for its biodiversity as it is home to many different types of plants and animals also referred to as Flora and Fauna (Hess, 2016). There are approximately 15 million different species of plants and animals thriving throughout this biome (Bioexpedition, 2012). In each level of the biome, there are different types of animals and plants because of the unique characteristics of each location (Bioexpedition, 2012). Tropical rainforests create a layered appearance separated into four levels (Hess, 2016): Emergent Layer Top Level: Consists of the tallest trees usually called “emergents” as they overlook the canopy layer (Hess, 2016). Canopy Level Middle Level: Consists of smaller trees that create the ongoing shade of the forests called “canopies” (Hess, 2016)....

...almost one-third of all installed software is pirated (Jansma, 2004). Software pirates are responsible for over $10 billion in lost revenue (Hess, 2003). Each industry must protect its own intellectual property. The three most important aspects in helping to resolve piracy is knowing the processes and techniques in capturing piracy, identifying the motivating factors, and prevention. How do organizations capture pirates? There are three processes that can help software companies catch violators: monitoring, preserving evidence, and taking action. The first step is for companies to determine the extent of its piracy problem and monitor the online channels (Hess, 2003, p.4). Once the extent of the problem is identified, online monitoring should be implemented to discover the details. The two types of monitoring are in-house and outsourcing. The advantage of using the in-house monitoring program is that it saves money and the staff gains firsthand knowledge of the strategies that are used. Outsourcing the monitoring can be expensive, but the main advantage is that the service is extensive and uses systematic monitoring (Hess, 2003, p.5). Most pirated software is sold on auction websites, such as eBay, Yahoo! Auctions, and Amazon.com Auctions (Hess, 2003, p.5). Approximately, 60-90% of the software products offered in online auctions are illegal (Hess, 2003, .5) Software companies should monitor auction sites to see if their product is being sold illegally. Auction sites are easy to monitor...

...“We have freedom of speech, but you have to watch what you say.” ~ Tracy Morgan. Over the last couple months, more than 1000 people have been arrested or injured when participating in controversial protests across the nation. However, the majority of those arrests were due to violent outbursts as a response to invidious utterances made by people in an opposing crowd. Amanda Hess’s article “Battle Cry” demonstrates how people’s inadequate communication skills can turn their speech into acts of violence. Hess begins her article with a bewildering rhetorical statement that allows one to bring forth their own perspective in order to understand the author’s intentions. Hess uses repetition throughout her introduction to form a parallel about...
