Thermodynamics

TASK 12: Anything that has a mass and takes up space is known as matter. Energy is what can cause a change to matter. As energy cannot be created or destroyed, it gets stored or transferred. Kinetic energy is what a substance possesses due to it being in motion. The kinetic theory of matter states that matter is made up of small particles that are constantly in motion with spaces between them. (Andrew Rader Studios. Matter is the Stuff Around You. 1997-2015) There are 3 main phases of matter…

If you are looking for ways to reduce your energy bill this winter, you should look into insulating your electric water heater. An uninsulated water heater loses heat, which can impact your overall energy costs, especially during the winter months when it is colder. Here is what you need to do in order to insulate your electric water heater. #1 Clean Your Heater The first thing you need to do is remove any items that you have stored in or around your water heater. You'll want a clear work…

Temperatures Affect on Magnetism Magnetism is when an object has a magnetic force, field, or a pull on another object.Temperature plays a large role in the strength of magnetism, and more importantly how a magnet reacts towards temperature. One can describe temperature as how hot or cold an object is. Temperature is ultimately how fast the molecules in an object are moving. The faster the molecules in an object are moving, the more heated the object becomes. Magnetism is when an object has a…

Discovering that your air conditioner doesn't work during one of the hottest days of the summer is probably one of the worst things you could experience. Unfortunately, it's not all that uncommon. Luckily, you can help speed up the repair process by knowing the reasons why it might have failed. So why might an air conditioner stop working? Here are three common reasons: 1. Thermostat Stetting One of the most common reasons for an air conditioner to stop working properly is due to the…

Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to show the different absorption and emission rates of three different substances. Radiation laws, albedo, and specific heat are all reasons why this is achievable. An agreed upon hypothesis is that the sand will absorb the most heat due to the number of molecules, the moss will absorb the second most because it doesn't have as many molecules as sand, but it has more than water, which isn’t as complex. To complete this experiment, you need three beakers of…

3. Explain how the following factors would affect the results of the lab. Give a specific direction of the effect on the formula you calculated and fully explain why this occurs. a. You did not heat the sample to a constant mass. If the sample was not heated to a constant mass, that means that there is still water trapped in the lattice structure of the hydrate. If the mass gradually increases after heating, this indicates water is being reabsorbed into the hydrate. Once the mass remained…

The Life of Ashton Stamper Due: November 7 4 odd Definition of honor High respect. My definition people who have honor are respected well and known. Benjamin Thompson was a physicist and inventor who was a founder of the Royal Institution of Great Britain. While in the military Thompson noted that during the process of boring cannons, the metal turned red hot and even boiled the water used to keep it cool. The explanation was that if the metal broke into pieces the caloric is liberated…

Purpose: The main purpose behind this experiment is to know the how the strength of the intermolecular forces changes with the molecular size and structures. Based on the examination of the evaporation of different liquids and by determining the vapor pressure of different alcohols at a different temperature. Producer: There will be two parts in this experiment to know the strength of the intermolecular forces of different liquids, to conclude the role of the molecular size and structure of…

Fall is here, which means winter is just around the corner. Given the many chores required to prepare your home for the winter, it doesn't hurt to get an early start. One important part of your home to winterize is your garage. Perhaps you're thinking about adding insulation to the garage doors. This will certainly reduce your home heating bills. Don't forget to add a vinyl garage door bottom. It will prevent cold air from entering under the door and will keep drifting snow and water out. In…

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…
