Melting Icebergs

the water while the rest was flush with the water (maybe like an iceberg). Next, I could see the blue stream downwards from the ice-cube to the bottom of the cup. I also noticed the ice cubes stayed next to one another and as the ice melted, it would periodically flip on its side. Since I timed this experiment, I know the ice cubes melted within seconds of each other at 2 minutes 3 seconds and 2 minutes 10 seconds. During the melting process, I watched the temperature gradually drop to 80…

I was born on September 1st 2001, I was a happy baby ready for the world to come. I was a very energetic I always wanted to know what was happening. Some of my favorite memories of me with my family were (and still are) the long road trips we do to San Diego. Also I really enjoyed flying to Connecticut to see my mom's side of the family. In the Hollister history the best road trip was when the car broke down just before the Grape Vine ( it is a big hill just before LA). We had to pull over and…

what if there was another method that was more environmentally and financially friendly. My project will benefit the town, the government, and the people. Through a chemistry experiment, this project will test how different substances affect the melting speed of ice. The experiment will be testing the effects of salt, sugar, brine, sand, and nothing on the speed at which ice melts. If the substance poured is salt, then the ice will melt the fastest. This is because salt lowers the freezing…

Even though an American can be defined as an individual that resides in America, it takes on a deeper meaning when one defines a "true American. America is a country that is portrayed as a melting pot. It is often described as such because it reflects the vast majority of immigrants moving to America to find freedom and new opportunity. With this comes new cultures, traditions and ideas But "American" is as broad of a term as "Freedom", yet we use the term loosely without ever defining it. So…

Nearly 20 percent of all international immigrants reside in the United Sate today. People can see how religious and cultural differences divide each individual in a multicultural society like America. America is a cultural melting pot that exposes a person to many cultures other than their own that they would not otherwise. Knowledge alone is not enough to shape our multicultural society like America. Therefore, I believe that learning about other cultures and religious are the best way to…

“The first settlers of this continent had the same right to come here that belongs to the emigrant of yesterday-no better and no other” (O’Neill 67). The question that the people of America should be asking themselves is simply this: where did Americans come from, how did the people get here, and why do they belong here when people around the world are being excluded by the thousands? When people look around all they can see are borders being raised while nations are being terrorized and…

This gives a difference of 1.10-0.54=0.56 g and a percentage of (0.54/1.10)*100=49.09% The true melting point of pure benzoic acid is 122.41°C and I received 126.9°C as my melting point. This gives a difference of 126.9°C-122.41°C=4.49°C and a percentage of (122.41/126.9)*100=96.46% Results: Impure benzoic acid 1.10g True melting point of benzoic acid 122.41°C Pure benzoic acid 0.54g Acquired melting point of benzoic acid 126.9°C Discussion: Each part of this lab was very…

The freezing point of the cyclohexanol was about 17.7°C, and the freezing point for the unknown solute mixed into the cyclohexanol was about 6.2°C. So the approximate change in temperature of the two freezing points was about 11.5°C. With this calculated information, the found molar mass of the unknown solute B was about 278.4g/mol, which is close to given molar mass of octadecanol. Conclusion- This lab allowed us to determine the molar mass of the unknown solute B by finding the difference in…

Is America still the melting pot of the world today? In the history of America, the country was known for it’s large diversity and immigration. Do you believe this is still true of the United States? In modern America, there is a lot of arguing over the topic of America being a melting pot, and nearly everyone has a different idea. This has become an important topic of interest in society, due to the fact that America is typically known as a place where anyone from anywhere can come in search of…

The Melting pot theory … “a place where a variety of races, cultures, or individuals assimilate into a cohesive world '(Webster Dictionary, n.d.). Some people think this is the way new immigrants to our country should act. They should learn english and try to blend in. The blending in of other cultures to create one unified culture is what makes America a melting pot. This is American culture where anyone is welcomed to join and become apart of one nation. The Salad Bowl theory… “the…
