So Mexicans are Taking Jobs from Americans Notes
AP Chemistry Background The solubility product constant, Ksp, is a particular type of equilibrium constant. The equilibrium is formed when an ionic solid dissolves in water to form a saturated solution. The equilibrium exists between the aqueous ions and the undissolved solid. A saturated solution contains the maximum concentration of ions of the substance that can dissolve at the solutions temperature. A knowledge of the Ksp of a salt is useful, since it allows us to determine the concentration of ions of the compound in a saturated solution. This allows us to control a solution so that precipitation of a compound will not occur, or to find the concentration needed to cause a precipitate to form. The solubility product which will be determined by this experiment is that of the strong base, calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2. Materials and Equipment Calcium nitrate, Ca(NO3)2, 0.10 M Sodium hydroxide, NaOH, 0.10 M (2) 96-well micro-wellplates 50-mL beaker Small dropper bottles for Ca(NO3)2, NaOH, and H2O (2) disposable pipets for mixing Note Hold the droppers vertically when dispensing the drops. Discard the first drop as it may contain an air bubble. Procedure Part A Ca(NO3)2 varies, NaOH held constant Arrange a micro-wellplate so that you have 12 wells up and down. Put 5 drops of 0.10 M Ca(NO3)2 in well 1 in the first row. Place 5 drops of water in each of the wells 2 though 12 in the first row. Next add 5 drops of 0.10 M Ca(NO3)2 to well 2. Use an empty pipet to mix the solution thoroughly by drawing the solution into the pipet and then squirting it back several times. (Calculation hint the solution in this well, 2, is now 0.050 M in Ca2 ion.) Use your empty pipet to remove the solution from well 2 and put 5 drops of this solution into well 3. Put the remaining solution back in well 2. Mix the solution in well 3 as before. Continue this serial dilution procedure, adding 5 drops of the previous solution to the 5 drops of water in each well down the row until

    6.03 Calorimetry Lab

    The calcium dissolved really quickly and there were bubbles and foams formed. We then heated the beaker with a hot plate for 2 to 3 minutes, equally distributed the supernatant solution into two test tubes, but avoid pouring the solid. After centrifuging the samples, we added extra HCl solution into the test tubes, there wasn’t any bubbling occurs, so we could continue and put the mixtures into the centrifuge again. And then put the NaCO3 solution into the beaker and wait to allow the CaCO3 precipitate to form. We then tested whether the supernatant solution is still acidic with a piece of red litmus paper, filter the liquid and we had some CaCO3. Dried the filter paper and CaCO3 in the oven, then we broke the CaCO3 into small particles with a glass rod, and dried it one more time. Let it cool and repeat heating, cooling and weighing it until the masses differ between two results are less than…

    Abstract: The purpose of the lab, Stoichiometry of a Precipitation Reaction, is to be able to calculate the amount of a second reactant we need to react with the reactant one. You must calculate the amount of the second reactant using stoichiometry to figure out what amount is needed. After the amount is calculated, you then can add it to the first reactant and it will give you a full reaction. To figure out what you need you have to use stoichiometry. My calculation for the second reactant was: 1.0g CaCl2*2H2O(1mol CaCl2*2H­2O/147g CaCl2*2H2O)(1mol Na2CO3/1mol CaCl2*2H2O)(106g Na2CO3/1mol Na2CO3) = 0.72g Na2CO3. The final, when its dried in the paper filtered weighed at 1.6 grams.…

    Formula of a Hydrate Lab

    This lab was done to determine the percentage of water in a hydrate, which was CuSO4 ?H20. Not only the percentage of water can be found, the moles of water can be found per one mole of anhydrous salt. An anhydrous salt is a hydrate that lost its water. Using various lab equipment such as burners, crucible, and balance, and techniques such as the mass-to-mole ratio and mass to percentage, the percentage of water in a hydrate was determined. Salts appear to be dry, yet when heated, surprisingly large quantities of water are driven off, because water is loosely bonded to the hydrate.…

    Why the New Jobs Go to Immigrants

    In March of 2005 a journalist by the name of David R. Francis form the Christian Science Monitor wrote “Why the New Jobs Go to Immigrants”. He argued that millions of American jobs had been taken by illegal immigrants; this was because former president George Bush was letting them. He figured it would grant them a way for U. S. citizenship. Many people would agree with David Francis’s claim and why he expressed that more illegals have jobs than Americans. Throughout the article he provides examples from Aristotle’s three strategies for argumentation: logos, ethos, and pathos. Mr. Francis not only gave lots of evidence to support his thought process but he gave real life examples.…

    So Mexicans Are Taking Jobs Poem Analysis

    The United States in the 1970s was full of controversy. Riots, protests, and strikes were appearing all over the news throughout the nation, and the discrimination against Mexicans and Mexican Americans in the workforce was finally coming to light. During this time, Jimmy Santiago Baca wrote about some of these issues in his poem "So Mexicans Are Taking Jobs from Americans." The poem speaks volumes to what was occurring in America. Although the title may give one impression of the poem, the true meaning lies within its satirical message. Through elements such as the poem’s historical context, the literary devices, and the narrator’s ability to evoke sympathy, we recognize that the poem’s true message is to communicate the discrimination against…
