In the national bestseller novel, The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference, Malcolm Gladwell discusses how ideas and products become popular, thus reaching its “tipping point”. According to Gladwell, the tipping point is when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire. One idea goes viral but not the others and Malcolm was determined to find out why. With years of research and experiments and analysis done, Gladwell concludes…

The treaty of Versailles caused more problems than it solved because of several reasons. First of all the treaty gave Germany the entire blame for the war which is completely unethical, second of all it completely ignored Woodrow Wilsons 14 points that would of most likely prevented another devastating war, third and fore most electing Hitler into power was the absolute worst decision ever. These three reasons is exactly why I somewhat agree that the treaty of Versailles did more harm than it…

when water is mixed with salt the specific heat value drops. In other words, it takes less energy to raise the temperature of the salt water by 1K than pure water. This means that the salt water heats up faster and eventually gets to its boiling point first. The heat capacity of NaCl has been found to be higher than that of MgCl2 but both lower than water’s specific heat capacity (Ernest, 2015). The heat capacity of the solution can be simply estimated using the formula (Haslego, 2010):…

In the writings of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s “Notes from the underground” and LU XUN’S “Diary of a madman,” the idea of an unreliable narrator is deeply imbedded to make the reader deliberate twice of the situation at hand. In both writings, there are characters whose credibility has been seriously compromised. However, the characters in both writing differ in their levels of credibility and verge of insanity. Furthermore, both authors allude to the many social problems relevant in their society and…

gives a difference of 1.10-0.54=0.56 g and a percentage of (0.54/1.10)*100=49.09% The true melting point of pure benzoic acid is 122.41°C and I received 126.9°C as my melting point. This gives a difference of 126.9°C-122.41°C=4.49°C and a percentage of (122.41/126.9)*100=96.46% Results: Impure benzoic acid 1.10g True melting point of benzoic acid 122.41°C Pure benzoic acid 0.54g Acquired melting point of benzoic acid 126.9°C Discussion: Each part of this lab was very important. So…
