Project 1: Calorimetry CHM2046L-029 24920 Introduction Background Calorimetry is a method of measuring the enthalpy (heat energy gained or released) of various state changes, such as chemical reactions. Calorimetry can also be used in a number of other ways, however, including in microbiology (where the presence of various microorganisms can be determined as their multiplication increases thermal power) and in environmental science (where a calorimeter can be used to determine insect

Reflective Statement, The Stranger Throughout the interactive panel discussion for The Stranger, I learned about how Camus’s views were reflected in his novel and differences between the societies of the novel and of real life. The story’s protagonist, Meursault, is seen by reader as an existentialist but he has certain traits where he could be perceived as someone who wants a connection but has difficulty receiving it. I also learned about how other people viewed Meursault's character

Josiah Wedgwood was born into a family of potters in Burslem, Staffordshire village. He is a potter who founded the Wedgwood & Bentley Company. In fact, he was credited as the industrialization of the pottery manufacture. The nature of Wedgwood’s completive advantage was the differentiator of being the first mover in the industry.

Albert Camus’ The Stranger follows Meursault, a Frenchman living in Algiers when he commits a murder of an Arab man. The novel was written initially in French, but had been translated into a number of different languages, in which deviation in words occurred. The title itself, when examined under multiple translation, creates a new connotation for the novel. L’Étranger is the novel’s original title and it derives several similar, yet different meanings: The stranger, outsider, or foreigner. The British

“Ohio State should not be number one because, they have not been playing up to their potential.” “On paper they have the number one offense and defense in the nation.” “Ohio State has also not played a top 25 team yet this season.” “You are right, if they keep playing the way they have played the last five games all bets are off for how they will play against a ranked team.” “Do you think their level of play reflects the opponents they have played to date?” “No, I think there are too many players

Most of all, Sethe is a mother. During her escape from Sweet Home, motherliness is accentuated as the toughest propeller. The most apparent question of a reader is that why a mother should kill her infant and whether this act can be made clear and be justified, by the ruthless structure of slavery. Many articles served the main topic of Sethe’s role as a affectionate mother in Beloved. Liz Lewis, for example in Moral ambiguity in Toni Morrison’s Beloved and Jazz, argues that, “Beloved reflects how

“I am going to blow them off the face of the Earth with the fury of God's own thunder.” These were the words of President Josiah Bartlet upon hearing the devastating news that Morris Tolliver, his physician and friend, had been killed in an unprovoked and cowardly attack by Syrian operatives upon a United States military aircraft. Through the heartfelt connection its characters inspire and the delivery of its plot and dialogue, The West Wing has earned its place in the pantheon of great television

Willard Frank Libby, (born Dec. 17, 1908, Grand Valley, Colo., U.S.—died Sept. 8, 1980, Los Angeles, Calif.), American chemist whose technique of carbon-14 (or radiocarbon) dating provided an extremely valuable tool for archaeologists, anthropologists, and earth scientists. For this development he was honoured with the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1960. Libby, the son of farmer Ora Edward Libby and his wife, Eva May (née Rivers), attended the University of California at Berkeley, where he received

The major events of the American Revolution included many horrific things that many people are astonished even to hear about today. Some of the horrific events were accidental, some involved miscommunication, and some were the results of violence by cruel people. One of the major events, though, contained all of the three reasons, and it is widely known as The Boston Massacre. Some people interpret the Boston Massacre as an event based on rage, but it was, in fact, nearly the opposite. It was based

Emma Hart Willard was an early link in the chain of equality for women’s education. Emma knew that the time was not right for women to have equal occupations as men, so she decided to set the first stepping stone by giving women a seminary where they could learn college level curriculum equivalent, if not better than men’s. Willard started her career in the 1800s when women needed her most. This time period kept wives from working, denied women in colleges, and forbid females from speaking out

Hilton is an American hotel chain founded by Conrad Hilton in the early twentieth century. Hilton remains the second largest hotel group with 4,278 establishments and 700,000 rooms in 85 countries. The Hilton Worldwide is a leader in the hospitality industry and currently has more than 130,000 employees.

I considered Marriott a global company prior to reading the article, however, I never imagined the number of hotels they have as well as the countries they are located in. After reading the article, From Root Beer Stand to Global Hotel Company by Dan Schawbel, it is clear that Marriott continues to look for new opportunities for expansion in other countries. It is also clear why when you hear the name Marriott you think of a nice hotel versus other motels. I immediately think of good quality and

Argument in Support of Quine’s Holism In “Two-Dogmas of Empiricism,” W.V. Quine argues that the analytic and synthetic distinction in Epistemology is false. He presents the view that beliefs do not exist independently of each other; instead, our beliefs form an interconnected web. In Quine’s view, all beliefs within this web of knowledge are revisable if we make sufficient changes in other parts of the system. Thus, for Quine’s version of Holism to be true, all beliefs must be revisable. Analytic

In the subject of chemistry there are many standards, the main six standards include, mass, volume, chemical reactions, chemical changes, and physical changes and the periodic table. Mass is the weight of an object such as “3 pounds”. Volume is the amount of space an object or substance takes up, such as a 5x5x2 box takes up 50 cubic feet. The periodic table is a way to organize all the elements into a sensible organized “table”. These are all important in chemistry because without them you would
