devices to show readers what all scientists must go through in order to prove a single discovery. In the first three paragraphs of the passage, Barry lays the foundation for his argument. First, he states that while certainty creates strength, uncertainty creates weakness and fear, making one

Determining the equilibrium constant from pH values of changing concentrations of ethanoic acid Design Research question: How will altering the concentrations of ethanoic acid affect the pH value, and, in-turn, the equilibrium constant? Background information: When weak acids react, the reaction typically does not go to completion. Rather, the system goes to an intermediate state in which the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal. Such a system is said to be in chemical

some or all investments (Risk, 2013). Uncertainty refers to situations in which there is no viable method of assigning probabilities to future random events (Keat & Young, 2009). In order to understand the relationship between uncertainty and risk, first I would like to define risk. First, in technology and economics, risk is expressed as an expected value that an event will be accompanied by undesirable consequences (The Difference Between Risk and Uncertainty, 2013). Here it is measured by both

Interpersonal Relations Positive relationships may lead to better communication and wider interaction between group members. In a group composed of friends, it would be expected that communication channels would be more open and numerous. This in turn, would be expected to exert facilitative effects on problem solving because it may lead to greater interchange of viewpoints and information and to more widespread contribution to problem solutions. And the sense of mutual support
