Melting

experiment one, are determining the melting points of different crystalline substances following a specific procedure. By finding the melting point of a crystalline substance, it helps determine what kind of compound it is as well as initiate the purity. A DigiMelt apparatus can be used to determine the melting point where a small amount of the the substance is packed into a capillary tube and heated slowly in the apparatus which includes a thermometer, a heating coil and a magnifying eyepiece for observing the substance. The two temperatures that need to be noted down is the first point at which liquid is formed on the crystalline substance, and second the point at which the crystalline substance turn into a clear liquid. These two…

The melting point of a substance is best described as the temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid (Bruice 2014). On the molecular level, when a compound melts the forces between the molecules become weaker. This is because when a substances heats up the kinetic energy between the molecules increase causing the molecules to vibrate. When the vibrations become strong enough for the molecules to move around and pass other molecules, the compound that is being heated up starts to melt and…

Our country is influenced heavily on immigration and people migrating from their own countries to gain citizenship in America, and this is why America coined the name the Melting Pot. We are all just a piece of the American puzzle. The Melting Pot helps people feel welcome and wanted in a culture other than their own. Multiculturalism definitely played a part in early America. People who immigrated from other countries to America assimilated to the culture around them. That wasn’t because they…

Melting pot The melting pot metaphor implies both a melting of cultures and inter marriages of ethnicities, yet cultural assimilation or acculturation can also occur without inter marriage. Thus African- Americans are fully culturally integrated into American culture and institutions. The salad bowl concepts suggests that the integration of the many different cultures of United States residents combine like a salad, as opposed to the more traditional notion of a cultural melting pot. As far as…

The United States of America is considered by many “The Great Melting Pot” because of its tradition to welcome people from different places of the world. In contrast to other nations, by the virtue of its fundamental principles, the USA is a country of diverse religions, races, cultures and ethnicities that according to the idea of the melting pot, fuse to form the notion of America. In the poem, The Melting Pot, Israel Zangwill, argues that while Israel is a nation where people from all kinds…

The Melting pot theory … “a place where a variety of races, cultures, or individuals assimilate into a cohesive world '(Webster Dictionary, n.d.). Some people think this is the way new immigrants to our country should act. They should learn english and try to blend in. The blending in of other cultures to create one unified culture is what makes America a melting pot. This is American culture where anyone is welcomed to join and become apart of one nation. The Salad Bowl theory… “the…

The Melting Pot To foreign countries, the U.S. seems to be the "melting pot" but it's not. The term melting pot means a heterogeneous society becoming a homogeneous society which means that people of different cultures and religions have mixed together and come together. America has accepted other cultures and religions but not to the point where everyone is involved with everyone. People say the U.S. is diverse because we have people of different ethnicities, religions, and cultures who live…

Is America still the melting pot of the world today? In the history of America, the country was known for it’s large diversity and immigration. Do you believe this is still true of the United States? In modern America, there is a lot of arguing over the topic of America being a melting pot, and nearly everyone has a different idea. This has become an important topic of interest in society, due to the fact that America is typically known as a place where anyone from anywhere can come in search of…

Whether America is a ‘melting pot’ or a ‘mixed salad’ is an enduring metaphorical debate among historians, philosophers, and sociologists alike. Some believe our nation’s collective mentality is numerous separate cultures bumping against each other but never melding, while some believe our nation’s mentality is one new culture, informed and influenced by, but separate from all other world cultures. Perhaps there are some aspects of both conditions in our society. However, the aspects of our…
