This experiment’s aim was to find the alcohol with the highest energy output when burnt using specific heat capacity of calorimeters. This data gathered only partially supported the hypotheses stated. There is an apparent trend between the heat energy of the alcohols and the amount of carbon atoms in the alcohols in the graphs shown. The first experiment (first graph) shows the results of the tests with a controlled calorimeter height of 20 centimeters. This means that the calorimeter, rather…

planet is done by using energy? In fact, you are using energy right now. Energy is the capability of producing work. Energy makes a change in an object. Force plays a role in deciding whether an object has done work or not (“Work and energy”, 2015). If the object moves towards the direction of the force, the work done is positive (“Work and energy”, 2015). If the object moves away from the force, the work being done is negative (“Work and energy”, 2015). An important aspect of energy is that it…

Basal Metabolism Basal metabolism is the minimum amount of energy expenditure required per unit of time that is necessary to conduct involuntary bodily functions such as respiration, blood circulation, muscle tone, maintain body temperature, and ultimately maintain life. The human body requires energy to sustain proper body fluids and nutrients that preserve life and health. An individual’s basal metabolism can be determined by finding their basal metabolic rate. According to Respiratory Care…

Every inch of it is exerting energy in some sort. To navigate through this, not only was muscle needed, but also knowledge of how it works. This energy is often used throughout the flow of the river, which varies throughout. One thing that the newcomers had learned from the natives was to stay near the edge. This is because the current is…

Introduction: To fully understand the investigation, there are three main definitions to keep in mind. Thermal Niche is a development in which natural selection forms adaptation for an organism through temperature. Acclimation is the process for the organism to become accustomed to the climate change. Fitness is simply the survival of an organism, however, in the investigation, locomotion is more suited due to the focus on the affect temperature has on the organism’s performance. For this lab,…

about the engineering field and started to feel appealed by it. Between all specializations that the chemical engineering program has, I believe that the development of new types of energies and the development of polymers are the most interesting fields of the major. On the one hand, the rise of new types of energies is crucial when fossil fuels are no longer available,…

First ionisation energy- The first ionisation energy is the energy to remove electrons that are unstable from 1 mole of gaseous atoms to gain 1 mole of gaseous ions with a positively charge (1+) As you go down a group, the energy decreases from the top to the bottom due to the shielding effect. When there are a lot of electrons shielding the outer electron shell from the nucleus, energy is less needed to expel an electron from an atom. Fluorine has the most ionization energy and Caesium with the…

Glass. In modern times this substance is used as a basic necessity for windows, car windshields, bottles, jars, glasses, dishes, etc. Glass was discovered by Egyptians in the sixteenth century B.C. when experimenting with their pottery. During the fifthteenth century, the Egyptians started venturing into glass vessel making. Later, the Phoenicians and Mesopotamians followed suit by developing a fairly adequate method of glass blowing. To describe glass blowing in brief, glass must first be…

What is an Onsen? An onsen is a term used for Japanese people referring to the “hot spring baths”. A natural Onsen use hot water from geothermal heated springs, though there are many indoor onsen (bath houses) that are filled with heated tap water. The onsens were used as public baths for Japanese people but nowadays there are many private ones and it’s also a tourist attraction for foreigners. My experience I went to one onsen in Nagoya called “Ozone No Yu”. Ozone-Cho, Higashi-ku Nagoya…

Kapha type body According to Ayurveda, our body is made up of five elements namely, air, water, earth, fire and space. Kapha is a combination of the elements Water and Earth whose meaning is ‘sticky’. Our body structures are formed by the energy derived from kapha energy. It supplies the vital nutrients and liquid that are needed to life to emerge and sustain on the planet. Kapha provides the body with lubrication in physical form and structure that results in the smooth and proper functioning…
