The goal of this experiment was to use chemistry to analyze an unknown compound and through testing its physical and chemical properties determine what unknown compound that was found in a landfill. This would benefit the Environmental Protection Agency because once they know what the substance was they could determine the best way to remove it from the landfill and if there were any potential safety hazards to beware of while handling the substance. This would prevent any accidents that may…

Hobbytown Rocket V.S. Chemistry Rocket Research Paper A Rocket is a projectile that can operate on it's own without oxygen by the combustion of it's contents. Rockets are particularly interesting because it has transported mankind where they have never been before. That is why this project is on Rocketry, but with small scale rockets. The purpose of this project is to see if a homemade Chemistry Rocket, fuel made of baking soda and vinegar, can equal the endurance and/or the height of a…

In this lab, two methods of distillation (simple and fractional) were utilized to separate a mixture of volatile compounds (cyclohexane and toluene). As a first observation of the results and data generated, looking specifically at the simple and fractional distillation curves, it seemed that the fractional curve obtained was not as expected. In fact, it was not very different from the simple distillation curve, having a gradual positive slope. This means that there was actually not a big…

The objective goal of this experiment is to identify a set of unknown liquids by measuring the liquids of three physical properties which consists of determining the density, solubility and boiling point of the liquids A, B, C and D. Ethyl acetate, methanol cyclohexane and acetone were the unlabeled liquids. In the data analysis the predictions came out to be liquid A for acetone, liquid B is for ethyl acetate, liquid C is methanol and liquid D is cyclohexane. Introduction and Experimental…

Maciej Szwoch Chm 131-005 5/5/18 Writing Assignment Figure 1 [This diagram shows at what temperatures/pressures water changes phases. As shown in Figure 1 (“Interactive Student Tutorial”) above water turns into a gas at 100 degrees Celsius. At 0 degrees Celsius and below it becomes a solid. This diagram makes it easy to see that the energy needed (temperature) to change phases greatly increases] Molality Molality is the number of Moles of solute divided by kilograms of solvent (Tutapoint…

According to Renewable Energy for America, in 2011 wind turbines generated enough electricity to power 11 million homes and 3,464 new turbines were built. The article also states that wind turbines are able to pay for themselves after three to six months in a windy environment. Turbine farms usually consist of about 100 turbines and creates an average of 250 megawatts (MW). To put this in perspective, it takes less than 10kW for residential energy supply. Additionally, wind energy produces no…

Renewable Energy * Wind * Solar * Geothermal * Biomass * Hydroelectric Wind Energy Wind Energy is an effect of the sun 's uneven heating of the atmosphere. Wind energy is commonly harnessed by turbines. Wind is formed when warm air expands and rises up, while cold air condenses and sinks. Wind energy can be used to power boats or even charge a battery. Although, it 's almost a perfect choice, it has its setbacks. The generators need a lot of land in order to function properly and if…

substitute for those greenhouse gases are wind turbines, what are those you may ask, well they are tall poles with a tri-propellor or sometimes different amounts of propellers but they are mainly eco-friendly and they do generate a lot of energy. These large wind spinning machines are often found in a rural place and are always surrounded with multiple other wind turbines. To add the wind turbines use a renewable and natural…

dangerous greenhouse gases that lead to rising ocean currents, ocean acidification, and rising yearly average temperatures. All of these effects are detrimental to the delicate ecosystems and humanity. Natural gas is just as bad as coal when it comes to the production of greenhouse gasses. Natural gas produces less carbon di-oxide, which is better for the environment,…

Turbochargers are more efficient than superchargers because of the way it compresses air. Superchargers are a belt driven turbine so they use the engine’s crankshaft to compress the air. This steals power from the engine because it need to spin the supercharger for it to work. However turbochargers are gas operated, so they compress air utilizing exhaust gases to spin a turbine. This greatly increases efficiency because it is harnessing the potential energy that is unused in a supercharger…
