Melting

As simple and logical as I see it, I believe the concept of the “melting pot” is seen as a food metaphor for the sole fact the word “pot” is used. Because the term is used in America to describe Americans, I would assume the phrase would be deciphered through an American mind, meaning we use the word pot as an object that cooks food. And though the word is used to refer to a pot used for combing metal, it seems that it is easier to understand the concept through food than a machine used with…

1) First, melting candle wax is a physical change. When heated, the candle wax, which is opaque, white and has a hard, waxy feeling, changed from a solid to a liquid. The hot wax became more of a transparent white and after cooling time, the hot wax changed back into a solid. Changing back into its original state suggests physical change. But, burning candle wax shows evidence of both physical and chemical change. The melting of the wax is an example of physical change, the heat source caused…

The melting point is the temperature at which a solid precipitate changes into its liquid form upon heating. It also helps when determine which isomers predominate. The experimental melting point of the E-stilbene was 242 degrees Celsius. The actual melting point of the E-stilbene was 241 degrees Celsius. This verifies that the predominating isomer is meso indicating that the cyclic intermediate remained. Therefore, almost no error occurred within the reaction since the two melting points are…

United States has strived to be the most diverse and accepting country in the world. So it is no surprise that a common nickname for America is the “Melting Pot,” which was coined around 1908 by Israel Zangwill. This name was coined in an attempt to reassure newcomers that America would welcome them with opened arms. However, through the years the “melting pot” nickname became a burden of tolerance and approval that many Americans did not want to carry. The USA quickly realized that opened door…

Why does the temperature of ice help melt it? Well, the freezing point of water is 32F, making it easier to find the temperature to put a heating device at. In places where black ice forms a lot, they could put big heaters near streets, at 70F, for melting…

Did you know, if you add salt or ice to anything cold the temperature drops? In my experiment, I wanted to find out if different materials impact the rate of ice melting. Before starting this experiment, I know sugar and salt dissolve in water and sand turns into mud. I predict that the results of this experiment will be that the sugar and salt will make the ice melt at a faster rate than the sand because sugar and salt dissolve in water and sand does not. To complete this experiment I will…

The two seem to stand for the American melting pot defending diverse cultural groups’ right to survive as this would then promote the liberal ideas on individual self-development and moral autonomy (Tamar 113). Furthermore, the two ideals support Americanization, a program that conformed immigrants…

“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…

Conclusion: After observing the evidence that we received from this experiment it is clear that the results thoroughly support my hypothesis. Within my hypothesis I had stated that the melting order from first to last was, as follows, paraffin, glucose, sucrose, and finally, salt. The results that we gathered supported this exact hypothesis. The first substance to melt was indeed paraffin and the second was glucose, and then sucrose and finally salt. The results are supported by the basic…

The next thing that was found was the percent yield which is equal to the actual yield over the theoretical yield times 100. Since the theoretical yield was 0.00056M, the result was a 34% yield. The melting point was found to be 262.7 oC, which lies within the correct range theoretically. The results of the TLC plate testing also concluded that the product was pure. The spot from the product appeared half way up the card while the anthracene was at the…
