energy are earthquakes. Earthquakes can be caused by techniques involving enhanced geothermal systems. Water pollution is also a danger of geothermal energy. As water circulates through hot rock,it can pick up many poisonous substances. In 1852, Kelvin invented the first geothermal energy heat pump.America’s first district heating system in Boise, Idaho was powered by geothermal energy in 1892. By 1892, the system was serving over 200 houses and 40 businesses. In 1904 electric geothermal…

THE COLD PLUTO By : Ethan Garcia Pluto was discovered on February 18th, 1930. By an American astronomer named Clyde William Tombaugh. The name Pluto was given to the planet by an eleven year old girl, by The name of Venetia Burney. The scientist wanted to keep the tradition of naming the Planets after Roman Gods of the Underwold. Pluto was said to be the smallest Planet in the solar system and the ninth Planet from the sun, little after Pluto was recategorized…

People who would normally be friends falsely accused each other because they were afraid. Another example of fear is that after the “violent attacks that took place in France, Kuwait and Tunisia on June 26… The worry is the United States is next.” (Kelvin Gostola). People in the United States saw what happened to the people in the ISIS attacks and that makes them very afraid that the same thing could happen to them. The same thing happened in The Crucible because “Prior to 1692, there had been…

The problem of the experiment was to determine the volume of one mole of H_(2(g)) at STP. In a way, the problem is essential in understanding how one mole of an ideal gas at STP is always equivalent to 22.4 L. By determining if the volume of a mole of H_(2(g)) is 22.4 L, it supports Avogadro’s law that one mole of an ideal gas occupies 22.4 L at STP. At the same time, it indicates that a direct relationship exists between volume and the number of moles of gas as temperature and pressure stays…

Introduction The electric light bulb has basically remained unchanged for over a hundred years. The new federal energy-efficiency standards have taken effect and are pushing out the old uneconomical light bulbs for more efficient options, such as light emitting diodes. The primary function of LED lighting is for the preservation of energy. This composition will furnish information to home owners about the advantages of shifting to LED lighting, by contrasting the benefits of modern LEDs to the…

temperature and volume are directly proportional. Charles’ constant (C ) can be expressed by V=CTwhere volume is in cm^3 and temperature is in Kelvin. Gay-Lussac’s Law states that when volume is held constant, temperature and pressure are directly proportional. Gay-Lussac’s constant (G) can be defined as P=GTwhere pressure is in atm and temperature is in Kelvin. All three laws play a role in the ideal gas law, PV= nRT where P stands for…

It’s been little over 21 days since the fighter awoke from a Georges St-Pierre chokehold to discover he had been stripped of his UFC middleweight championship title. But Kelvin Gastelum had other ideas… in the form of a first-round TKO. Gastelum gave Bisping the what’s for in the main event of UFC Fight Night 122 in Shanghai, China. Although Bisping landed some decent counters, ultimately Gastelum out-powered him, switching his lights off like it was NBD. Wow, talk about brutal. Talking…

completed. An article in the New York Times by Alina Tugend explains that multitasking slows us down and learning the art of “single-tasking” is beneficial for our productivity (Tugend, 2008). Although Tugend talks about doing tasks one at a time, Kelvin Lui and Alan Wong found in their research that multitasking isn’t always a bad thing. Those who are accustomed to multitasking preformed better with multi sensory integration and were not deficient in all kinds of cognitive tasks. On the…

Henry Pickering and Frank Bursley Taylor . Eduard Suess had stated the theory of a supercontinent Gondwana in 1885 and the Tethys Ocean in 1893. John Perry wrote a paper in 1895 saying that the inside of Earth was fluid, and disagreeing with Lord Kelvin on the age of the earth. After closely observing a globe it shows that the continents come together like a puzzle : the west African coastline seems to fit into the east coast of South…

protons and electrons and 74 neutrons. It has an atomic mass of 126.904 amu and I127 is a common isotope. It's electronegativity is 2.7 which means it has a decent ability to get electrons to be like a noble gas. It's melting point is 387(K) which is Kelvin and it's boiling point is 457(K) (both at STP). Iodine's first IOnization energy is 1008. (kj/mol) and it's atomic radius is 136 pm. which stands for picometers. Iodine also has a density of 4.933 g/cm3. Ths element is both found and…
