After rocks are formed, they are weathered when exposed at the surface; this prepares material for transport by erosional processes in the rock cycle two main types of weathering include mechanical (disintegration) and chemical (decomposition) that act together and enhance the effectiveness of each other Mechanical: reduction of rocks to smaller pieces, includes: Frost wedging…
Andrew Marvell, a famous poet, was born in 1621 and raised in Yorkshire, England. Most of his poems were published after Marvell’s death in 1678 which is about thirty years after they were written. Although Marvell’s style and theme relates his writing to other famous poets such as Donne and Jonson he is considered to…
Purpose The purpose of this investigation is to explore the percent yield of the precipitate in the reaction Introduction For known amounts of reactants, theoretical amounts of products can be calculated in a chemical reaction or process. Calculated amounts of products are called theoretical yield. In these calculations, the limiting reactant is the limiting factor…
Purpose The purpose of this investigation is to determine the effect that varying temperatures have on the rate of a reaction. Introduction Based on the Kinetic Molecular Theory, the central idea of the collision model is that molecules must collide to react. Therefore, the greater number the number of collisions per second, the greater the…

Introduction Vinegar is a common household item containing acetic acid as well as some other chemicals. This experiment is designed to determine the molar concentration of acetic acid in a sample of vinegar by titrating it with a standard solution of NaOH. CH3COOH(aq) + NaOH(aq) -> CH3COONa(aq) + H2O(l) By adding the sodium hydroxide, which…
William Blake’s ‘The Tyger’ is a comprehensive poem that poses questions to the reader such as, what is ‘The Tyger’? What is its creation?

Question: What effect does the concentration of a substance have on the overall rate of a reaction? Hypothesis A higher concentration of a given substance may cause a reaction to proceed at a faster rate when compared to a reaction with a lower concentration of the same given substance. This would be because there would…
