Introduction

In this experiment, we are interested to determine the heat change of two different reactions using the ice calorimeter. The heat change values are applied together with the given values of the heat transformation of water (∆H(H2O)) and the application of hess law to establish the heat of formation of MgO (∆H(MgO))
A formation reaction has a defined stoichiometry which makes them ideal constructs to be investigated by the Bunsen ice calorimeter. When the heat is released by the reaction, it causes the ice to melt and the volume of the ice-water mixture to contract. From the ...

Natural ice is a fascinating state of water to say the least. As the name clearly states this ice occurs naturally in nature without the intervention of any man made forces or influencing factors. This simple fact makes natural ice a very pure form of ice in deed. Just like water natural ice is colorless. This means that it does not have any particular color that can be attributed to it. Thus natural ice is very clear in its appearance. In the purest form natural ice is see through no less than a glass or any other see through ...

Disturbing trends in the climatic condition of the Arctic led to scientists researching this area. Upon close scrutiny the fascinating greening of the Arctic has been observed. From the space, using Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), which is an index of vegetation greenness, the circumpolar changes in the tundra vegetation are observed. The NDVI records of the last 29 years were gathered and the Maximum NDVI was derived. According to studies the MaxNDVI was usually observed in August due to many factors such as CO2 fluxes, above-ground biomass, total eco-system production etc. Many other biophysical properties also cause the ...

Carbonated drinks like Coke have been popular in the US market for a long time. Even so, this trend is slowly changing as many people are shifting to non-carbonated drinks for health reasons. Carbonated drinks have negative effects to the body as they cause diseases like diabetes, obesity, and cell damage. As such, the report on non-carbonated soft drinks is important as it hedges consumers from the diseases that arise from the intake of soft drinks. For purposes of this research, Lipton ice tea will be used to give a clear picture of the marketing strategy employed for ...

Climate change coupled with global warming remains one of the challenges facing the world. Researchers have established that natural and human factors contribute significantly on this issue, but at different levels (Drake, 44). Human activities such as combustion of fuel fossils, deforestation, and emission of green house gases from industries remains some of the factor fuelling global warming, depletion of ozone layer and climate change. The media has aired and addressed the impacts associated with global warming and climate change and recommended the use of environmental friendly energies. Although the media remains vital in addressing impacts accruing from climate ...

Difference between freshwater lakes and oceans in terms of the formation of ice

Ocean ice is found in Polar Regions. It covers an area of 25 million square kilometers. Ocean ice forms on the surface of the ocean. It grows and melts above oceans. During winter, ocean ice grows but melts during summer (Thompson & William 1). The occurrence of ocean ice has a direct influence on the global climate. Ocean ice has a bright surface that reflects most of the light that strikes it. The co sequence of this phenomenon is that areas that the ocean ice covers have low absorption of solar energy (Ilker 149). In this regard, the temperatures in ...

ABSTRACT

At no other time in the history of the planet has the impact of human activity affected the natural order of the planet. Humans account for the increase in global warming. In turn, global warming occurring at such a rapid rate leaves scientists scrambling determining how the future looks for all living creatures including humans. Statistics exist today, and predictions exist for tomorrow. However, changes in the climate, chemical effects on the oceans, the air, and changes in the planet's ecosystems continue and the rapid increase in global warming are still unfolding affecting plants, animals, and people as discussed ...

Introduction

Polar bears are a range of bears from the family Ursidae and genus Ursus that natively lie within the boundaries of the Arctic Circle which well includes the landmasses and surrounding seas around the Arctic Ocean . Considering the native geographical location where the polar bears reside, it can be safely assumed that these creatures live in a predominantly cold weather environment . In terms of general physical features, a male adult polar bear should weight somewhere around 770 to 1,500 lbs. ; a female adult on the other hand should be somewhere around half of this size . Polar bears are ...

Background on Immigration

The United States of America has been reputed as a nation of immigrants. This is largely because the majorities derive their origin from Europe, North America, Asia and African continents.

Introduction

Science fiction and disaster films often must take dramatic liberties with science and truth in order to serve a greater narrative purpose; events are compressed, effects are exaggerated, and realism and physics are thrown out the window in order to provide greater drama and spectacle (Revkin, 2004). In the movie The Day After Tomorrow, directed by Roland Emmerich in 2004, the world is subjected to global disasters brought about by climate change. The effects are myriad; global cooling sets New York in a coating of ice and freezing temperatures, glaciers crack and separate, and a “superstorm” is said to ...

Ice T, Taylor Swift, and How Cultural Considerations Inform Their Music

“Fuck the police” chants Ice T, in his hit “Cop Killer,” “tonight we get even.” These are the some of the lyrics to one of his most successful, and most controversial, songs. Released in 1992, this song was written partially in protest of the acquittal of two police officers who beat Rodney King in LA. Conversely, almost twenty years later, we have another pop star, Taylor Swift, singing “Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can’t breathe?” She continues, “He’s the reason for the teardrops on my guitar. The only thing that keeps me wishing ...

“One tricky question is whether the overall accelerated melting of the ice sheets can be linked to man-made climate change” . This is one of the controversial issues that Naik tried to address in his article entitled “Polar Ice Sheets Melt Faster” published online in The Wall Street Journal. The apparent participation of humans as contributory for the eroding glacial ice was likewise evaluated in greater depth by Revkin in his article entitled “A Message in Eroding Glacial Ice: Humans Are Turning Up the Heat” published in The New York Times. The current discourse hereby aims to present a comparative ...

According to Warrick (1993), global warming is the main contributor to the rise in global sea level since the Industrial Revolution. Human activities such as burning coal and oil and cutting down tropical forests increase atmospheric concentrations of heat-trapping gases. The three main factors leading to the rise in sea levels include: thermal expansion, ice loss from Greenland and West Antarctica and melting of glaciers and polar ice caps.
Land ice, that is, glaciers, ice caps, and ice sheets, stores nearly two-thirds of the world’s freshwater and is shrinking in response to higher temperatures. Glaciers partially melt each ...

Some people say that global warming is not a serious phenomenon at all. They say that the earth naturally goes through warm periods and cold periods. But, on the other hand, the Arctic has not had a warm snap for about 40,000 years when people from the Stone Age were living in Russia close to the Arctic Circle. (Henson, 2008, p. 75) There are many reasons that this time the warming process is a lot less natural. For example the warming is happening very quickly. Firstly that means the change from ice cold to warm is quickly changing the scene in the Arctic Circle. Secondly temperatures are much warmer than anyone predicted or expected. In Alaska temperatures in the winter have become 7º Fahrenheit degrees warmer in the past fifty year. (Henson, 2008, p. 77) The melting of the glaciers in the Arctic causes more water to dump into the ocean and that makes the waters more dangerous. ...

Analysis of the poem Fire and Ice by Robert Frost

The poem Fire and Ice was written in 1920 and belongs to early cycle of author’s poetry. Nevertheless, it is one of the most well-known and popular work of Frost. It consists of only nine lines or 51 words. Yet the imagery of these lines is so deep that there are even different versions of inspiration reason gained by Robert Frost. According to the first one, the verse was written after re-thinking of Dante’s Inferno image. According to the medieval poet, the lowest circle of the Hell, where betrayers were placed, is covered with ice and this ...

Abstract

Global sea levels have fluctuated during the earth’s long history, falling during the ice ages and rising during periods of global warming. The most recent ice age occurred more than 10,000 years ago. Over the last few decades, we have experienced global warming, which has been aggravated by the effects of global warming resulting into excess gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. Records on rise in sea level for the last 100 years indicate an average rise of one to two inches every 25 years and the figure is increasing. The rising sea level will have ...

Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” and “Fire and Ice” are both rhyming, rhythmic poems. However, their themes are very different. While the former explores the choices that all humans make in everyday life, the latter delves more deeply into possible causes of destruction for planet earth. While the two poems have similarities in terms of style, the main themes within them are quite different.
“The Road Not Taken” is a famous and well-anthologized poem in the history of American poetry. A common interpretation asserts that the narrator in the poem is upholding independence and non-conformity.

Water is one of the most fascinating natural elements on earth. It is fascinating not only because of its capability to sustain life on earth as we know it but also because of its versatility. Water is one of the most versatile elements on earth. It comes in three primary forms that are vapor, liquid water and ice. These three primary forms of water are greatly affected by temperature. This means that temperature dictates the form in which water appears.
Water primarily appears in its liquid form. Under natural environmental conditions water is a clear liquid that is not ...

Global Warming Myth

Global warming is one of the biggest threats facing humanity and it is vital to understand its history and the pieces of evidence that will support the theory (Maslin 17). Global warming has been in existence for more than one hundred years but it was only during the late 1980s that it has been taken seriously as a world issue. The delay in recognizing global warming threat is due to the power of the global average temperature data. The temperature can be determined by taking into account the land-air and sea-surface temperature. It was during 1940s to 1970s that ...

The Hydrologic Cycle

The global hydrologic cycle involves the change of water between three states. Water can be gaseous, like humidity in the atmosphere and the condensation in clouds, liquid as in our lakes, rivers, and oceans, or solid as in our ice caps and glaciers. Water is very complex and energy is required for it to change between the different states. Without water, biologic life could not exist.
Evaporation and transpiration return water from the liquid state into the gaseous state. It takes a lot of energy to effect this change in state. Approximately 600 calories per gram of water is ...

In the recent past, many scientists have provided evidence on how global warming that result from greenhouse gases may adversely affect the arctic regions (including tundra biome). These scientists argue that the excess abundant of greenhouse gases will cause global warming of the earth's climate in the near future. This global rise in temperature is more likely to damage the Antarctic and Arctic biome that than all other biome. This is because global warming is expected to shorten arctic tundra's winters and melt snow that covers permafrost. As a result of this, there will be flooding in many coastal ...

Azo dyes are the most popular dye materials that cover more than 50% dye market. The azo group is the main feature of all organic dyes; it joins the aromatic rings that result in an extended conjugated multiple bonds system. The unique characteristic of organic dyes is that they possess the colour. The reasons behind this uniqueness are the light absorbance in the visible spectrum (400–700 nm) and presence of at least one chromophore (colour-bearing group). Their conjugated system and resonance of electrons also produce color ...

Water and Its Unique Properties

Water is has a unique physical and chemical properties which are essential to life and to the earth processes such as climate change. Water molecules generally consist of one oxygen atoms and two hydrogen atoms. However the atoms do not share equal electrons thereby making water slightly charged—exhibits polarity. Water molecules interact with other water molecule through a weak hydrogen bond. Hydrogen bonds allow water to interact also with other polar substances. Water is known as the universal solvent. Thus, it has the capacity to dissolve various polar substances like ammonia and nonpolar substances such as methane (Freudenrich, ...

Global Significance
The one environmental issue that has the most important significance in the world today is global warming. That is because the rising temperatures at the surface of the earth are responsible for causing negative impacts around the world. The two general causes for global warming are (a) natural and (b) manmade. Green house gases are causing the warming because the amount of manmade greenhouse gases added to those that are formed naturally have created the problem of too much trapped heat in the atmosphere. The sun’s energy plus reflected energy from the surface of the earth ...

Is global climate caused by human activities?

Currently, the question on whether human activities cause global warming has sparked debates from environmental experts. The massive growth of the population has increased growth of consumption, and this poses threats to the global climate. The rise of the earth’s temperature is mainly caused by the gases released by greenhouses, especially carbon dioxide. It is saddening to note that the climatic changes affect the physical and biological systems across the universe. Global warming can only be decreased if the carbon output released by human activities is reduced. The Journal of Climate published a paper by Jara Imbers, Chris ...
