“The more you do for someone, the more that someone takes you for granted.” At the beginning of Kafka's "Metamorphosis", Gregor reveals to the audience that he has "...an exhausting profession! One the road, day in, day out" (1205). We later discover that the motivation behind his work commitment is to pay back debts owed by his parents. When Gregor's mother states " It almost worries me that he never goes out on his evenings off...his only hobby is a little occasional woodwork" (1208), we realize

As a member of this group, I think everyone was treated with respect and that was one of the key attributes of that group. This allowed everyone to feel comfortable enough to express their voices and opinions. With the artefact project, we were all able to provide input and all of our individual ideas were taken considerably and never turned away. There have been times where the group would get distracted during workshops however I think it allowed all of the members to become comfortable with one

mol-1 and +33.86 kJ mol-1 respectively. Calculate the standard enthalpy of reaction, in kJ mol-1 for the formation of N2O4 from NO2. 4. The combustion of one mole of ethylene (C2H2) gas to form carbon dioxide and water releases 1299.4 kJ of heat energy. (a) Write a balanced thermochemical equation for this reaction. (b) State whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic. 5. Enthalpy changes for the following reactions can be determined experimentally. 4Al(s) + 3O2(g) → 2Al2O3(s) ΔH =

space and has weight. It comprises of atoms and molecules that are constantly in motion due to energy that they possess. Energy is present in all matter mostly in form of heat energy. Energy takes various forms and can change from one form to another form. Other than heat energy, various forms of energy include electrical, light, mechanical, chemical, sound and nuclear energy. These different forms of energy can cause a substance to heat up by simply increasing the speed of the molecules in the matter

Introduction Most of us have had a job at some point in our lives. In my experience, younger people today take advantage of the fact that they get additional breaks other than their lunch breaks while working. Unfortunately, what they don't realize that these additional breaks that they've received while working in their retail jobs are mandatory based on the companies that they work for, not mandated by federal law. Up to 75% adults who are in the throws of their careers don't take their lunch

substances present in its surroundings, generally using energy from light (photosynthesis) or inorganic chemical reactions (chemosynthesis). They are the producers in a food chain, such asplants on land or algae in water, in contrast to heterotrophs as consumers of autotrophs. They do not need a living source of energy or organic carbon. Autotrophs can reduce carbon dioxide to make organic compounds for biosynthesis and also create a store of chemical energy. Most autotrophs use water as the reducing agent
