Everest Base Camp

CONCLUSIONS: The purpose of this experiment was to find the concentration of the unknown base (NaOH) through a titration. In the experiment, it took 0.95 mL of NaOH with a concentration of 0.53 moles to neutralize 5.0 mL of a 0.100 M of HCl. In the expected result, the concentration of the NaOH was 0.50 moles. The percent error for the lab was only 6%, which means the lab had a fairly high accuracy. Differences between the expected results and the actual result would be caused by the sources of…

Buret was rinsed with water and NaOH, and followed by filling with NaOH solution made in the first week of lab. An acid of unknown concentration was prepared by the instructor and given for analysis. 25.00 mL of the acid was transferred into an Erlenmeyer flask using a volumetric pipette and 2-3 drops of phenolphthalein were added. The resulting solution was titrated with NaOH to achieve the faint pink endpoint and [unknown] was calculated according to the volume of NaOH used. The purpose of…

Everest trekking Everest trekking is an adventure journey into the base camps of the world highest mountain. A strenuous grade hiking begins after 30 minutes flight (Kathmandu-Lukla) at Lukla, 8 hours bus tour (Kathmandu-Jiri bus) at Jiri, and after the 25 minutes flight (Kathmandu-Phaplu) at Phaplu. The northeast region of Nepal has five different short and long treks, including Everest Base Camp Trek, Short Everest Base Camp Trek, Everest high pass trek, Gokyo Lake trekking and Everest view…

Standing at 29,029 feet, Mount Everest is the tallest mountain in the world. But in 2015,a deadly event occurred that changed the future of climbing Everest forever. June 25,2015. A 7.8 magnitude earthquake strikes the capital of Nepal,Kathmandu,Everest being approximately 140 miles east of the epicenter. Avalanches started near base camp on Everest while people ran for cover from the snow,wind,and rocks. 19 died and 120 were injured. The identified people were five climbers and ten…

Mark Inglis does not have the same experience of climbing Mt. Everest as most people. Most people may worry about frostbitten toes. Mark Inglis worries about have a spare prosthesis. To climb Mt. Everest it will take all of his strength to reach the summit. It is very difficult for someone to reach the summit but , try imagining reaching the summit as a disabled. Mark Inglis is a double amputee. He unfortunately had to have both of his legs amputated from the knee down. He lost his…

dramatic real-life events after the accomplished “The Deep”, dated from two years ago. Right after the latter, he made an incursion into the action-crime fictional genre with the uninvolving “Two Guns”, starring Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg. “Everest”, an account of the tragedy occurred in the famous Nepalese mountain in the spring of 1996, also presents a strong cast, including Jason Clarke, Jake Gyllenhaal, Josh Brolin, John Hawkes, Keira Knightley, Robin Wright, and Emily Watson.…

the endpoint of a solution. It also allows us to see a physical change, thus resulting in a more accurate measure of how much was titrated. Citric acid is a weak acid, making it best titrated by using a strong base, such as sodium hydroxide. The combination of a weak acid and a strong base would result in an endpoint that corresponds to the range of phenolphthalein indicator approximately a pH of eight. Image A Phenolphthalein is composed of C14H20O4, as shown in the image above and can…

This paper describes the process by which a three-component mixture was separated and identified. The mixture was separated with the aid of a separatory funnel and various solvents acids and bases. The compound was found to be comprised of meta-nitroaniline, naphthalene, and benzoic acid / 2-napthol. All three of them are organic compounds with melting points in the order they were listed 111-114, 79-82 and 121-122/121-123 °C. the percent yield of each component was also calculated at the end…

3.2. Chemical quality parameters and pH value:- 3.2.1. Chemical quality properties, pH values and total plate count (TPC):- Total volatile basic -nitrogen (TVB-N), the peroxide value (PV), pH and total plate count (TPC) are good index to determine the freshness and quality of fishes and their products. Data presented in Table (4) show the values of TVB-N, PV,…

The influence of selected variables such as pH of phenol solution, concentration of hydrogen peroxide, concentration and the volume of phenol to be treated was studied to find the degree on the degradation of phenol. The influence of these variables on the degradation of phenol using H2O2 by interpreting the TOC results is presented in the following sections. 3.1 Effect of pH The phenol degradation with different pH is shown in Figure 3. As it is clearly seen, a higher pH favors the removal…
