Argon

I am dressed in olive green switchback pants, a tan colored shirt, a forest green neckerchief with yellow trim, and a drab green ball-cap. This attire makes me stand out like a sore thumb. A cheeseburger is sitting in front of me on a table at a Wendy’s. I hardly touch it because my stomach is filled with anticipation. 6:28. My mom urges me to eat more of my burger. It will be a long drive. I pick it up and took another bite. It tastes dry. I suck at the straw in the cup of Sprite that…

on it from solar effects (solar flares and solar winds). It gets most of its energy from the sun, via infrared radiation which is emitted by the planet and some of them passes right by atmosphere and absorbed by greenhouse gas molecules (nitrogen, argon, Chlorofluorocarbons,…

The purpose of this spectroscopy experiment was to determine if the spectra matched the electronic transitions that occur in the hydrogen atom among several other atoms. We used the Bohr model of atomic structure to determine the orbit numbers that correspond with the spectrum emitted by the hydrogen atom. The Bohr model states that electrons will never be found in between states, but rather completely in one state or the other. We used this model to determine the initial n value at which the…

My Thoughts On I Am I Am is a documentary by Tom Shadyac the director of such comedy movies as Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Liar Liar, Patch Adams, and many more. In 2007 he had a biking accident and suffered post-concussive syndrome or PCS. He was in very severe pain and even thought about killing himself to escape the agony he was enduring. Eventually the symptoms lessened and he began to feel better physically. But both spiritually and emotionally he still didn’t feel right. He began to…

Esters have a very sweet fruity smell. Esters are commonly used in the preparation of artificial flavors or fragrances. Flavors and fragrances may utilize a single ester or a mixture of esters and other substances to duplicate the odor and flavor of a particular fruit. Naturally occurring esters are found in fruits. An ester is a product of the reaction of an acid (carboxylic acid) and an alcohol (the hydrogen of the acid R-COOH is replaced by an alkyl group R'). Esters mainly result…

Relative dating and radioactive dating have semi major difference in determining the age of fossils. Some differences would be the techniques and methods used to determine the age of a fossil. Also another difference would be the process and the different types of dating that will work to find the age for that fossil. As well as the many terms that goes in the processes for dating fossils. Relative dating does not give an actual date for the fossils. Relative dating is used to organize…

Brianna Susnak Mini-Project #1 1. The six steps of the formation of the solar system are: • Gravitational collapse—the protostellar cloud collapses into a rotating disk. This disk increases in temperature and rotation rate, due to the conservation of energy and angular momentum. The rotating cloud is flattened into a disk, and the materials in the disk move in a circular motion. The material in this disk forms planets that orbit in the same way that the material from which they are formed…

organizes the different known elements, and Neon is one of those elements. Neon is an element that is a non-metal and also a noble gas. The start of the element, Neon, was when a Scottish chemist named William Ramsay discovered Neon, Krypton, and Argon, which are all noble gasses ("Periodic Table of Elements: Los Alamos National Laboratory." Periodic Table of Elements: Los Alamos National Laboratory). For this achievement, William Ramsay won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Another person who…

The Impact of Air Pollution on the Economy The pure air is consisting of 21% oxygen, 78% nitrogen and less than 1% argon with Carbon di oxide. The pure air is essential for human bodies to live healthier with long life. Adult human intake pure air every day nearly 10-20 cubic meters where as children consume twice as adult. Hence pure air took an important and essential place in the human life. Thus we are celebrating Clean Air day on June 8th every year. Let us discuss about the air pollution…

CaCO3(s) ⇄ CaO(s) + CO2(g) Adding CaCO3 to the container will do absolutely nothing to the system, as it is a solid and is not taken into account when calculating the equilibrium constant. Increasing the pressure by adding argon gas will not affect the system. First of all, argon is an inert gas, which means it will not react with anything involved in this reaction. Since it does not react, it cannot affect the equilibrium constant. Increasing the pressure by decreasing the volume of the…
