Experiment 3: Solution Calorimetry: Thermodynamics of Potassium Nitrate II. Abstract A determination of thermodynamic variables of KNO3 is presented. KNO3 was heated and dissolved in varying volumes of distilled water. Upon dissolution‚ the KNO3 solution was removed from heat and the temperature was recorded once crystals formed. For each solution‚ ∆G the Ksp were found with the temperature and molarity values. ∆H and ∆S were found through the linearization of the data with

1. INTRODUCTION 1. OVERVIEW In order to achieve several small scale and large scale objectives in various electronic circuits‚ it is highly essential to regulate the voltage supply‚ given to electronic circuits. This project‚ namely VARIABLE VOLTAGE REGULATOR‚ aims at fulfilling such small goals‚ using the 3-terminal voltage regulator LM317. The circuit consists of an IC LM317 and a set of resistors and capacitors‚ in addition to the transformer and the rectifying element. The AC

Variable costing and absorption costing are the two most commonly used methods of inventory costing for manufacturing companies. The inventory method of variable costing takes place when total direct and indirect variable manufacturing costs are included within inventoriable costs. Fixed manufacturing costs however‚ are considered costs of the period under variable costing. The next method of inventory costing‚ absorption costing‚ includes all variable manufacturing costs as well as fixed manufacturing

THE THIRD-VARIABLE PROBLEM Correlational data are frequently misinterpreted‚ especially when presented by newspaper reporters‚ talk-show hosts‚ or television newscasters. The Most common problem in interpreting correlations is Third-Variable Problem. A correlation simply indicates that there is a weak‚ moderate‚ or strong relationship (either positive or negative)‚ or no relationship‚ between two variables. When interpreting a correlation‚ it is also important to remember that although the correlation

Variable Geometry Turbocharger Turbochargers works on the simple principle of increasing the intake air density by compression. Being able to fill more air into the combustion chamber will allow more fuel to be added to produce more power. However the operation of the turbocharger relies solely on the exhaust gas velocity to drive the compressor. Thus the compressor will be at optimum operation range when the engine is under heavy load. When the throttle is opened‚ it will take a certain period
