Gas Law Lab

This lab contains two experiments that both test the knowledge of the gas law and how it applies to the state that is necessary to form a cloud and to calculate the rate of effusion of CO2 (carbon dioxide) leaving a balloon. If carbon dioxide is placed into a balloon for a period of time, then the carbon dioxide will effuse out of the balloon at a linear rate, because of the pressure that the gas is placing on the wall of the balloon that will allow it to escape from the balloon's microscopic pores. If a match is placed into a flask with room temperature water and heated water, then the resulting cloud that forms in the heated water will have a higher volume and a higher pressure than the cloud that forms in the room temperature water.

The creation of the cloud is controlled by the pressure, volume, and temperature of the cloud and its surroundings. In order to study the effects of any changes in the pressure, temperature, or volume the Combined Gas Law will be implemented after this part of the experiment has been completed. To complete this portion of the experiment, a sample of water will be placed into a side-arm Erlenmeyer flask with a stopper that has an inserted thermometer. One side of a rubber tube will be put onto the side-arm of the flask and the other side will be attached to the opening of a syringe. This allows the volume to be manipulated and the temperature and pressure to be altered. Then a math will be lit then blown out and dropped into the flask. This will produce ash particles that will serve as the condensation nuclei. The syringe will be used to push pressure into the flask to turn the air from clear to "cloudy." The process of forming the cloud will be done at room temperature and at 30 degrees Celsius and the purpose is to determine the dew point pressure at both

The control in the experiment is water. Units used while timing the productivity of gas from an Alka-Seltzer tablet in different temperatures is, seconds. In order to find out if temperature controls the rate of chemical reaction, whether hot water is a more effective way to make the gas produce at a faster speed, it would be necessary to compare the results of different temperatures at the end of each trial. In order to do this the scientists will measure the volume of gas that is produced within a 10 second interval time after the tablet begins to react.

Stoichiometry is a method used in chemistry that involves using relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction, to determine a desired quantitative data. The purpose of the lab was to devise a method to determine the percent composition of NaHCO3 in an unknown mixture of compounds NaHCO3 and Na2CO. Heating the mixture of these two compounds will cause a decomposition reaction. Solid NaHCO3 chemically decomposes into gaseous carbon dioxide and water, via the following reaction: 2NaHCO3(s) Na2CO3(s) + H2O(g) + CO2(g). The decomposition reaction was performed in a crucible and heated with a Bunsen burner.

The science behind this is very simple, it involves the behavior of gases. Atoms in a gas is free flowing. They respond and move faster when there is heat, and slower when it is cooler because of a loss of energy. It then changes the pressure of the gas, as the atoms in a certain volume of gas changes. In this experiment, we heated to can with water in it until it was boiling, which

The writer of This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen, is Tadeusz Borowski. He was a polish writer, who was a survivalist of the Holocaust. Tadeusz wrote most of his books about his challenges and issues he had to overcome during the Holocaust. Although, Tadeusz committed suicide he left behind a great read for many of us to understand an insight on the Holocaust. The theme of, This Way for the Gas Ladies and Gentlemen, reveals the emotional, physical, and territorial impact that hunger (and other items) has on humans.

In the poem “Treblinka Gas Chamber”, by Phyllis Webb and in the TRC’s “The History”, both texts share a common theme of inhumane treatment towards children within certain cultural and ethnical groups. While the two authors explore distinct historical contexts, both texts are centred on racial segregation with nationalistic motives. Phyllis Webb appeals to a logos strategy through the use of allusion. In her poem, “Treblinka Gas Chamber”, Webb presents fictional and historical examples to display her knowledge and establish her credibility.

h. Gas chamber In this method of execution the prisoner is restrained and sealed in an airtight chamber and dropped hydrochloric acid potassium cyanide or sodium cyanide crystals which producing hydrocyanic gas. This gas destroys the body's ability to process blood hemoglobin, and unconsciousness can occur within a few seconds if the prisoner takes a deep breath. Death usually occurs within six to 18 minutes. After the pronouncement of death the chamber is evacuated through carbon and neutralizing filters.

Why did you go after to find Sasha? I went after to find Sasha because she is my true love. Also, I went after to find her because when we were in the infected zone together she saved my life, when the jocks were after me. Sasha also saved my life by helping me into a gang so I had a place to stay and food to eat. Were you ever scared looking for Sasha in the infected zone?

In “This Way to The Gas, Ladies and Gentleman” by Tadeusz Borowski was a poet and was detained because he was clinically depressed. In this essay I will discuss the importance of “human nature” in the Holocaust and why it contributed to the deaths of millions of Jewish people (among other minority group’s i.e. gay men, black people, disabled people). The question of human nature is irrelevant and inappropriate in discussions about the holocaust. Since it was those questions of human nature that - What makes a human? What is natural?

In scientific writing being able to identify and use audience, context, and purpose correctly in scientific writing is very helpful in providing what the specific paper will be about (context), who it is targeted toward (audience), and what is the reasoning behind the given section of a reading (purpose). Aristotle was once quoted saying, “Rhetoric is the art of seeing, in any given case, the available means of persuasion.” Being able to dissect someone's stance on an argument is a very important skill to have. Just because someone is able to publish a paper on a certain topic does not mean you should immediately accept everything in that paper. In the scientific journal titled, “The Delphic Oracle:

Place the the beaker onto a hot plate that is on a low heat setting (about setting 3). Every 5 minutes for 20 minutes, measure the circumference of the balloon and record it in Data Table A. You can measure the circumference of the balloon by looping a piece of string around it then using a ruler to measure the string’s length. Record the data in the data

Title: THE BALLOON INFLATION REACTION Introduction: Chemistry is one thing that makes us understand and gives us reasons of why certain reactions gives certain results. In this experiment we will be illustrating the reaction between baking powder and vinegar and see what happens to the balloon that is attached to it. Hypothetically the reaction of the vinegar and baking powder will produce carbon dioxide which will inflate the balloon. If the more vinegar may happen that when more vinegar is added to the baking powder it may produce more carbon dioxide thus the balloons diameter increases.
