elements are divided into two broad groups, the metals and the non-metals. In this experiment, you will examine some members of the metal group and identify similarities and differences in their physical and chemical properties. Metals are the elements that are found in the left of the periodic table with high electrical and thermal conductivity. Metals lose electrons to create positive ion charges. Metals have a unique shine, are prone to forming, have a high tendency to form cations, and combine
killing 91 of the 173 miners working that day. ‘The Sunshine has produced millions of tons of lead, zinc, and copper; and over 360 million ounces of silver (Carpenter, n.d.)’. Throughout this report an investigation will be conducted surrounding the metals that were abundant in the mine, the disaster that had occurred at the Sunshine Mine as well as laws and procedures which were altered or approved after the incident. Lead is commonly used in radiation protection as it absorbs gamma radiation, therefore
Ac 2.3 Explain the method of making titanium alloy and investigate how the composition and structure of metal alloys, polymers and poly-matrix composites influence the properties of the parent material. 1. Extraction of Titanium Titanium is extracted from its ore rutile-tio2. It is first converted into titanium (5) chlorine, which is then reduced to titanium using either magnesium or sodium. The ore rutile is heated with chlorine and coke at a temperature of about 1000˚c. 2. Melting of Titanium
Copper Transformations Prelab Questions Three metals ions are Magnesium, Iron, and Nickel. Iron is used in the sea with iron rich minerals, for substances. Iron was also used in the formation of earth. Magnesium is used in cells of every organism. It helps balance out the functions within the cells. Nickel is used for light absorption in natural environments. Nickel is also used in rings for a cheap substance rather than silver or gold. The material needed for this experiment include a 100mL
1. INTRODUCTION One of the actual problems in the manufacturing engineering is related to the assembly of the sheet metals, thin-walled tubes or profiles. These tasks could be performed using Friction Drilling technology, which enable to simplify assembly process and to improve reliability of the joint. Friction drilling is also called Thermal Drilling, Flow Drilling, Form Drilling, or Friction Stir Drilling. Friction drilling is a non-traditional hole-making method that utilizes the heat generated
For this experiment, Cu(s), went through many reactions with a series of reagents to produce four different copper containing compounds before being restored back to its original metallic form. The observations from each reaction were then used to determine the type of reaction it was, and various equations associated with each reaction type. The amount of copper measured at the beginning and end of the experiment were compared to one another to determine its percent recovery by using Equation 1
Lead exposure takes place as soon as lead dust or fumes are breathe in, or once lead is ingested. Lead entering the respiratory and digestive systems is released to the blood and dispersed throughout the body. Additionally, more than 90% of the entire body encumbrance of lead is accumulated in the bones, where it is stored. Lead in bones may be released into the blood, re-exposing organ systems long after the original exposure. The toxic nature of lead is well documented. Lead affects all organs
magnesium. The solutions are copper nitrate, silver nitrate, zinc nitrate, and magnesium nitrate. If the element is in the alkali earth metals such magnesium than it should be more reactive with the solutions than most groups and the metals in the transition metals should have some reaction to some solutions. Alkali earth metals are pretty reactive while transition metals are less reactive. Analysis:
Georgia , a country located in between Europe and Asia. The labor force/economic activities in Georgia consist of 55.6% of population being involved in agriculture , 8.9% in industry, 35.5 % involved in services. Out of all the land in Georgia approximately 43% of it is identified as agricultural land. Once again from the total agricultural land about 27% is arable lands. Pastures, being the largest of the agricultural land make 59% of agricultural land.Crops that are not temporarily are grown on
4.1.1. Definition Asbestos is a naturally occurring minerals that are resistant to heat and corrosion. Asbestos has been used in products, such as insulation for pipes, floor tiles, building materials, and in vehicle brakes and clutches. 4.1.2. Physical and Chemical Characteristics There are six types of asbestos minerals, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, anthophyllite and actinolite. Asbestos is inert, insoluble in water and
Plato’s Protagoras is a dialogue of much debate that allows for the readers to look further and to bring into question the argument on virtue for themselves. It is not something to be taken whole-heartedly since Plato is throwing different theories about virtue around in this dialogue. Socrates, one of the main characters was always fixated on virtue, especially the concept of defining and teaching virtue, and whether or not it can actually be taught. However, one must keep in mind that Socrates
Referencing our data, it can be determined that out of the three metals, Pb, Cu and Zn, it is shown that Lead (Pb) is more active than Copper (Cu) due to single-replacement reaction that took place. Lead had replaced Copper in the solution. Zinc (Zn), however, had replaced Lead thus leaving Copper to be the least active leaving Zinc to be the most active out of the three. In order of activity from least active, to most active, the metals would be lined up as following: Ag, Cu, Pb, Zn, Mg. From this

Rhenium is element 75 on the periodic table as a metal. It is located under manganese, but it was not always there. Rhenium was discovered by Walter Noddack, Ida Tacke and Otto Berg in 1925. Rhenium is one of the rarest metals on earth with the melting point of 3185-degrees Celsius, 5,765 degrees Fahrenheit. The only element with a higher melting point is Tungsten. Rhenium can
There are two ways of mining Nickel and Copper. One is from sulphide ore and another is from iron ore. Many companies finds sulphide mining’s more profitable than iron ore. In Minnesota sulphide mining is new even though economically beneficial than traditional mining iron ore, it causes sever environmental damage. Therefore, I believe sulfide mining should not be part of Minnesota mining because it is hazardous to our environmental. Sulphide mining is more hazardous than iron ore mining. When
Calcium chloride is commonly used as the main ingredient in road dust control products because it has the ability to hold on to moisture for a longer period of time. Therefore, this keeps the dust from becoming airborne. Since the dust remains settled on the ground this creates a smooth surface that is easy to drive on. One of the reasons why calcium chloride is so effective is due to how it is handled prior to use. If the chemical substance is stored incorrectly this can ruin your roads and create
Polar bears have a thick layer of fat called blubber which is about 11 cm thick. This also helps the bears to survive in the freezing conditions. Not only on land, but the thick layer of fur coat and blubber helps them as they spend a great amount of time swimming in the freezing waters of the Arctic. Blubber is a thick layer of fat that helps prevent sea mammals from getting too cold. Blubber in depth, is an extra digested food stored in the form of adipose tissue, which contains molecules called
The element cesium is an element like no other. It has many characteristics that separate it from many of the other elements that most people know. Cesium also has important uses for our society and we can benefit from it a lot. Cesiums story starts way back in 1860 Heidelberg Germany, with two German chemists by the names of Robert Bunsun and Gustav Robert Kirchoff. A year before they discovered the element cesium, they developed a spectroscope. This tool allowed them to see the atomic spectra
In performing these sets of experiments, in which we would drop a water/water solution onto the surface of a penny, we were trying to test and experiment the bonding qualities of water when made into a solution compared to when the water is pure. When we dropped pure tap water on to a penny, the water, instead of flowing and spreading out, stayed together in a single drop on the penny. We wanted to see how different substances affected this phenomenon. When we formulated our guiding question we
How has the extraction of metals changed the course of history? Metal: Magnesium Magnesium is a metal that is both industrially and biologically important. It is the lightest structural metal that is currently available for us. Its other advantages include excellent fatigue, denting and damping resistance. Therefore it is used commonly in alloys for car and airplane construction, electronics, luggage and power tools. It is also used in fireworks and sparklers, as it is easy to ignite and burns
