Hardness

A Different Breed For those who have never done it, they will never know the pain, sacrifice, the guts it takes to be this type of athlete. The mindset of knowing you 're going to go out there and try and rip the other guy 's face off for 6 minutes straight and know he is trying to do the exact same thing to you. It is not a mindset most people have or are okay with having. It is something very few have. A very rare breed of person that is on the edge of psychotic, and is willing to push over…

The process of putting these books in order from best to least was fairly difficult for the top 3 and even more so for American Sniper and Prisoner B-3087. The fourth book on the list was an easy choice for me because of a couple of different reasons. First off, The Red Badge of Courage was a very difficult book to understand, which made it hard to read and know exactly what was going on in the book. Secondly, I just could not get into the book because to me, it was boring and very slow paced.…

Growing up in a small town, everyone knew everyone. You cannot go to the store without running into one of your grandparent’s friends or a coworker of your parents. Before you even introduced yourself the person you were talking to already knew many details about you. Now this can get extremely annoying but nothing is as annoying as when your teachers would have set expectations for you because they had taught your older siblings that had come before you. My two older sisters were not only great…

While speaking with my senior mentor, Abe Bos, it was hard to not be amazed at everything that he has accomplished and been through in his life.

He was the second of three children born in his family. His mother was a stay at home mom and his father was a teacher and a principle. Abe enjoyed…

Hardness Testing Lab 1 Moriah Ausherman E882U679 Kunza Arifa ME-251-10959 Thursday 3:30 Experiment Date- 8/31/2017 Due Date- 9/7/2017 Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to ascertain the hardness of two different materials. One material is aluminum the other will be determined through testing. Hardness is defined as a material’s ability to resist plastic deformation by indentation. Harder objects are more likely to resist deformation. The results of a hardness test will be…

James Apostolico November 6, 2014 The Chemistry of Natural Waters Chemistry 111 Section: 005 Kareem Ali, Dima Alfawaz Stephanie Le Clair Introduction Water hardness is a way of defining the quality of water based upon the amount of Ca2+ and Mg2+ions that the sample contains.1 Water mostly becomes hard by flowing over weathering rocks which release these ions into the water. These released ions dissolve in water and then react with various elements, ions and compounds that…

My science fair question was “Is the hardness of water the same everywhere?”. This question is ironic due to the fact that water has a very loose molecular structure and takes no shape without a container. The term hardness has a different meaning in this project instead of the adjective meaning firm or stiff it deals with the components of water. More specifically when dealing with molecular structure, hardness is the concentrations of mineral ions like magnesium and calcium inside the water. I…

Identities of Zinc, Sodium, Beryllium, Copper and Boron By: Shreya Uppala, Lizzy Jolly, and Kyrie Harrell Results: The first element we tested was zinc. Since zinc was already known, the density was stated to be 7.13g/mL and the hardness was a 2.5 based on the Mohs Hardness Scale. No magnetic attraction was observed when in contact with a magnet. Zinc had a shiny appearance with a light gray color and the strips of zinc added to solution were approximately 5 cm. When zinc was tested with water…
