Anaconda Copper

Starting in 1955, the Berkeley Pit became well known as a large truck-operated, open-air copper mine in Butte Montana. The unusually high copper prices resulted in the Anaconda Copper Mining Company opening many pit mines, including the Berkeley Pit. Buying up two communities and a lot of Butte’s previous population, the company was able to clear out a pit site. But after the discovery of very acidic sources and harsh effects, the Berkeley pit ceased mining in 1982; even today, the mine is still a hazard and causes problems for the surrounding community and environment. (“Berkeley Pit”, 2016) As a local mine, the Berkeley Pit has not only a large impact…

two and four eggs a year and baby toucans do not have large bills. They grow over time and is not full size for quite a few months. The main threat to their survival is the pet trade. (nationalgeographic.com) Anacondas are members of the boa family. The green anacondas of South America are the heaviest snakes in the world. They can grow to more than 29 feet, can weigh more than 550 pounds and can measure more than 12 inches in diameter. Females are significantly larger than the males. Also…

The purpose of this lab is to calculate a value for Avogadro’s number and compare it to the actual value for Avogadro’s number. Avogadro’s number will be determined by setting up an electrochemical cell to oxidize a copper electrode. The results of the amount of copper deposited and the average current used will be used to calculate a value for Avogadro’s number. Techniques used: In this experiment, different techniques will be used to collect the required data, such as taking the mass of…

Based on Otzi’s belongings I think he was a hunter. IF he was a farmer I believe he would have brought some of his own food with him. Even though he had arthritis he seems to be too skilled with a bow and arrow to just be a farmer since 1 arrow had 2 different people’s blood on it. I also think he lives with a group of people since he was whipworm. Whipworm is spread by human poop which makes me think he can’t get sick of his own poop. I don’t believe he died from this illness since he does not…

Bending pipes using a pipe bender is not an easy or simple job to learn how to do. If you are just learning how to bend pipes using a pipe bender, use these three tips to help you become more effective and precise at this new skill. #1 Measure From The Center When working with pipes, you always need to verify that you are working with the correct size of pipe. The best way to measure a pipe is to place it in the pipe bender so that it is secure, and then measure the length of the pipe,…

center of the paint can, and continue tin wire through the 11/16th inch hole in the soda can to the other 11/16th inch in the soda can. Thread the tin wire to the second 9/64th inch hole so that there is also approximately 2 inches of wire outside of can. This will result with the suspension of the soda can in the paint can. Attain a clean and empty tuna can, with the lid removed. Produce five holes 7/16th inches in diameter, 9/16th inches down from the top of the can, approximately 1 1/2…

The testable question asked what is the actual percent yield of copper produced in grams/milliliters from the reaction of 2 g of solid copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate and approximately .25 g of aluminum foil in 10 mL of water versus the theoretical yield of copper metal. The hypothesis stated that if a reaction occurs between 2 g of solid copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate and 2 mL of 6 molar hydrochloric acid with approximately .25 g of aluminum foil, then the actual percentage yield of copper…

piece of art is an oil painting created during the Italian Renaissance in 1514 in Italy. The painting can now be found at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. This painting used multiple elements of art, principle of designs, and has a historical meaning behind it. The Feast of the Gods is an oil painting.

is usually literally on the top of the lot. [ Figure 1.4 ] A coin’s rarity depends on the opinion of the buyer. There are items, for example, a Constantine XI coin, the last Byzantine Emperor. [ Figure 1.4 ]. There were only a dozen reported surviving samples that are priced in hundreds of thousands or even millions. Personally, it looks like a piece of metal that had been crushed by a truck. The value of a coin depends on the appeal to a certain collector. For example, there was a coin…

artifacts has shown that stone tools were actually very sophisticated and almost modern as they went over each item that Otzi was carrying and its possible importance. Along with the tools were weapons such as a knife and arrows that many were unfinished raising questions on why the ice man would enter the mountains practically unarm. One specific weapon that has lead to a amazing discovery that Otzi was carrying in his possessions was a copper axe that was way advance during his time. This…
