... When Nitric acid is constantly boiling in a mixture with water contains only 68% HNO by weight, and become to have an atmospheric pressure of 68.4% by weight and boiling at 121.9˚C (Nitric Acid 2015). When it is combined with moist air, fumes emitted by acid gives it the name of fuming nitric acid. Since Fuming nitric acid is highly concentrated it is label as “red fuming acid” or “fuming nitric acid” because when it is exposure to air it emits a reddish-brown fume, and the color comes from the nitrogen dioxide that is liberated at the time it is exposure to air (Glenn2005). The concentration of nitric acid of the red fuming nitric acid is about 85%. Fuming nitric acid is also labeled as “white fuming nitric acid”, and is highly concentrated anhydrous nitric acid and it has a concentration of approximately 98-99%; from the 100% the rest 1-2% is water and nitrogen dioxide. (Glenn 2005)). Nitric acid is a powerful oxidizing which nitrates many organic compounds and a strong monobasic acid because there is only one dissociation (Glenn 2005). It has been known for around 1000 years, it helped since the early experiments because of its ability to dissolve different metals which include copper and...

...when you study for an examination, you concentrate more on areas that you feel are likely to be covered on the test. You may cancel or postpone an out door activity if you believe the likelihood of rain is high. In business, probability plays a key role in decision-making. The owner of a retail shoe store, for example, orders heavily in those sizes that s/he believes likely to sell fast. The owner of a movie theatre schedules matinees only during holiday seasons because the chances of filling the theatre are greater at that time. The two companies decide to merge when they believe the probability of success is greater for the consolidated company than for either independently. Some important Definitions: Experiment: Experiment is an act that can be repeated under given conditions. Usually, the exact result of the experiment cannot be predicted with certainly. Unit experiment is known as trial. This means that trial is a special case of experiment. Experiment may be a trial or two or more trials. Outcomes: The results of an experiment are known as outcomes. Sample space & Sample point: A sample space of an experiment is a set or collection of all possible outcomes of the same experiment and is usually denoted by the symbol . Each outcome of an experiment can be thought of as a sample point or element in the sample space. Events: One or more...

After marking where the rope just broke the surface of the blue-green, we slowly pulled the disc out of the frigid Atlantic water. It was the fourth day of a marine biology program at the Shoals Marine Laboratory off the coast of Maine. There, along with twelve other high school students, we learned about a plethora of topics, ranging from the mechanics of oceanic tides to the anatomical differences between a shark and a mackerel. Almost part every day of the first week was spent on a small boat, performing a variety of tasks in the field. We took water samples from various depths using a niskin bottle, caught plankton...

...cannot be expressed and explained verbally. Thereby, both consciousness and its existence become very hard to explain. According to Jackson, if qualia exists then materialism and physicalism are not true. His argument is that there are conscious aspects that cannot be explained with the any physical account; thereby the topic itself has no any kind of explanation, reasoning. Nevertheless, Jackson does defends his argument by explaining his thought experiments which show that consciousness or any kind of experience cannot be explained when compared with a physical description. The first experiment is based on ones visual perception. In this experiment, a guy by the name Fred has a different visual experience than a normal human being. The difference in his visual perception is that he can view different shades of red. What Jackson is trying to explain that Fred possesses qualia because Fred’s visual experience is only felt by Fred; thereby, one cannot know or experience how many of red shades he can see. Another thought experiment that Jackson presents is about a women by the name Mary who is made to live inside a black and white room with black and white television for a week. When she is released from the confinement, she learns about colors. Thereby, Jackson claims that Mary perception from black and white to colors is a visual experience which is only felt by Mary herself. Therefore, According to Jackson, qualia exists. Nevertheless, Jackson, in his article also discusses...

The Red Badge of Courage takes place at the battle of Chancellorsville, that battle takes place May 1st-3rd. The battle of Chancellorsville was one of the bloodiest battles in the entire Civil war. The american civil war had a negative effect in the people living both in the north and south due to high death tolls, poverty, and general animosity. “He felt that in this crisis his laws of life were useless. Whatever he had learned of himself was here of no avail. He was an unknown quantity. He saw that he would again have to experiment as he had in early youth. He must accumulate information of himself, and meanwhile he resolved to remain close upon his guard lest those qualities of which he knew nothing should everlastingly disgrace him” (Crane, 25).In this passage it shows Henry’s initial fear about whether he has the courage to face battle or not. He thinks that war is created just to make heros and when men turn into soldiers it will...

...Farmers had no money and weren't capable of paying their mortgages. Americans traveled throughout the country looking for a place to work to support themselves and their family. Farmers plight during the Great Depression and drought. When the rains failed to come, the grass began to disappear. As the farmers watched their plants turn brown and the dirt slowly turn to dust they began to fear what was to come. In the water-cut gullies the earth dusted down in dry little streams. As the sharp sun struck day after day, the leaves of the young corn became less stiff and erect; then it was June and the sun shone more fiercely. The brown lines on the corn leaves widened and moved in on the central ribs. The weeds frayed and edged back toward their roots. The air was thin and the sky more pale; and every day the earth paled. The farmers were terrified that the government feed loans wouldn't be available to keep the livestock from dying. In many cases, the Red Cross was making allowances for feed to keep live livestock. The small farmers of fruit trees and vegetable plants depended on others who ran canneries to bottle and can their produce. The people they depended upon were the same people that hired scientists to experiment on the fruits and vegetables to come up with better tasting and yielding...

...Individual assignment DMAIC Triple Mock Up Green Building I am Anas Bin Razali with my team of team 16 are doing research at date of 15/03/2015, our group had went to British Malaysian Institute (BMI) to do our research on the Triple Mock Up Green Building. This experiment is essential as to compare with the green building and the conventional house build by typical material. For the individual assignment, I have to compare roof/walls/ambient/floor/windows temperature between M1, M2, and M4. M3 is yet under construction so it is not yet reliable to measure. Devine Chart Data I choose building M1 because of its material and structure are different than M2 and M4. M1 is made up of wood wool plus cement and it is a material produced using more than 80 years of European research and technology comprising entirely natural and non toxic materials. It is a building material made from wood fibers that are chemically impregnated and cleverly bonded under pressure with cement to form a light weight building material that produces great durability and versatility. The temperature exceeds the tropical thermal comfort line 11.30a.m onwards up to 32.8 C. It decrease a little but still up high from the tropical thermal comfort line. But from data that I collect with my friend and do different part to calculate the temperature, we confirm that in M1 there a leakage of temperature because of the structure in the roof. Measure Thermal camera The thermal camera we use it to measure...

...To my surprise the castle was in very good shape, despite looking to be abandoned for years. I unrolled my sleeping mat and fell asleep in the great hall. My dreams were dark that night, full of blood and monsters, but to all that there was complete silence, creatures would open their mouths to below and scream at me, but no sound came our, but their was two sounds, a scraping sound underneath me and a dripping sound coming above. I awoke to a drop of rain that must have leaked through the roof. I reached up to wipe the drop from my forehead, it was thick, too thick, I knew that feeling, I was intimate with that feeling, it was the feeling of ultimate horror, it was the feeling of death, red, liquid death. I dove to my pack and lit the torch. It was a mistake, all around me was blood, the walls were covered with the bloody streaks of clawing hands, I looked down, my hands were bloody. Why were my hands bloody? And why were my fingernails torn up, like I had been clawing at something all...

...SIMPLE SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS HANS JURGEN PRESS 1. Astronomy Image of the Sun Place a pair of binoculars in an open window in the direct path of the sun’s rays. Stand a mirror in front of one eyepiece so that it throws an image of the sun on to the opposite wall of the room. Adjust the mirror until the image is sharp, and darken the room. You would risk damaging your eyes if you looked directly at the sun through binoculars, but you can view the bright disc on the wall as large and clear as in the movies. Clouds and birds passing over can also be distinguished and. if the binoculars are good even sunspots. These are a few hot areas on the glowing sphere, some so big that many terrestrial globes could fit into them. Because of the earth’s rotation, the sun’s image moves quite quickly across the wall. Do not forget to re-align the binoculars from time to time onto the sun. The moon and stars cannot be observed in this way because the light coming from them is too weak. 2. Sun clock Place a flowerpot with a long stick fixed into the hole at the bottom in a spot, which is sunny, all day. The stick’s shadow moves along the rim of the pot as the sun moves. Each hour by the clock mark the position of the shadow on the pot. If the sun is shining, you can read off the time. Because of the rotation of the earth the sun apparently passes over us in a semi-circle. In the morning and evening its shadow strikes the pot superficially, while; it midday, around 12 o’clock...
