Entropy

In this experiment, unknown B was a solid mixture containing two compounds of interests, 1,4-dimethoxybenzene and neutral benzoic acid. These compounds were separated by extraction and washing, and liquid-liquid extraction was specifically performed. Extraction is the process by which a compound of interest is selectively removed from impurities, and washing is the process by which unwanted products or impurities are selectively removed from the desired product. In liquid-liquid extraction,…

Experiencing the absurd is a normal, guaranteed part of human life. Every human has experienced something or thought of something absolutely absurd. Not only that, every human has had late night thoughts of what the true meaning of life is. Many people are plagued by thoughts of meaninglessness, and many do not know how to deal with it. Since the beginning of philosophical conversation, the topic of absurdity has pushed philosophy into countless heated conversations and debates that have lasted…

Yuval Harari is a historian professor who teaches at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, that was established by Jared Diamond. Under the support of Jared Diamond, who also aided him in endorsing his book, Harari connected logical research to each part of mankind 's history and also towards parts of history for which no composed records exist. In truth, Harari utilizes less science than Diamond. He underscores the trouble of knowing in detail the lives of our remote ancestors and is frequently…

entirely random as it is specific to a gaseous state because it has a certain degree of order between neighboring molecules. Due to the lack of regulation and the absence of a crystal grid, compared to the crystal the amorphous form has higher enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs free energy. Therefore, it is thermodynamically unstable and susceptible to spontaneous transition to a more stable crystalline form (14). Differences between the crystal and amorphous states are shown in Figure 3. Figure 3:…

The First World War had favored the United States in a spectacular way. American investors flocked to a rising New York Stock Exchange market that was based on credit and financial speculation. Many companies launched new innovative, cutting-edge products, like radios and washing machines and witnessed the large scale use of automobiles, telephones, motion pictures, and electricity, which accelerated consumer demand and aspirations, and marked significant changes in lifestyle and popular…

Humanity has pondered the meaning of life since its first steps—as doing so provides a confounding sense of purpose among the entropy that is the universe. This purpose can help free individuals from their doubt, and pain, and lead them to overcome that which was considered impossible, and all while inspiring the people around them. Within Frank Darabont 's Shawshank Redemption, these ideas are represented by one of the main protagonists of the story—Andy Dufresne, a successful young bank…

The quieter one becomes, the more one can hear. In both The Story of Edgar Sawtelle and Hamlet, the lead characters lack voices. Edgar is physically unable to speak, and Hamlet’s constant flirtations with words remain unheeded by the people around him. Furthermore, both characters “walk around in love with the idea of a thing instead of the reality of it” (257). Without the power of words, however, Edgar becomes a more potent observer. Cut off from verbal communication, he expresses himself by…

What is death? In medical terms, death marks the cessation of vital functions.[1] However, what is its purpose? We currently perceive death as an effect of an inevitable, insurmountable cause.[2] Although the process of aging is not a fully predictable process, we readily seek answers according to previously established guidelines. We do not hesitate to accept death in the form of trauma, disease and old age, however improbable or unexpected, as we firmly hold on to the opinion that these events…

Introduction Near-field communication (NFC) is a set of protocols that allow communication between two electronic devices. Most commonly this technology is used for communication between portable devices like smartphones. Even though it is a contact less system of communication, it requires that the devices are within 4 cm or 1.57-inch distance from each other (Carter & Faulkner, 2015). Basically, this technology relies on creating a low speed connection between the devices which has a very…
