Susan Harrison Aims: 1. To make simple measurements of body parameters 2. To assess whether they fall in the normal range Introduction In this practical you are going to measure your height (cm) and weight (Kg)‚ % skinfold fat‚ pulse rate (b/min) and blood pressure (mmHg). Put values on Excel sheet provided. 1. Size Equipment: Stadiometer; weighing scales. Measure your height (without shoes) in centimetres (cm) and weight in kilogrammes (Kg).

Raising the Interest Rate Principles of Finance Introduction After years of declining interest rates‚ we are facing a dilemma; should the Federal government increase rates to contain inflation‚ or keep rates low to boost the US economy? Increases in consumption of oil‚ metals‚ materials‚ and food‚ both foreign and domestic‚ are increasing demand. Prices are rising on a global scale as demand increases. Additionally‚ the US is experiencing rising costs for healthcare and education. Yet‚ the

Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to determine the rate law graphically from the rate of disappearance and the x y values also the specific rate constant (k). Activation energy was also determined‚ and the effect of catalyst was evaluated in the reaction between peroxodisulphate ion S2O82-‚ and iodide ion‚ I-. S2O82-(aq) + 3 I-(aq) --> 2 SO42-(aq) + I3(aq) The general expression for the rate law‚ given this overall reaction‚ is: rate of disappearance of S2O82- = k[S2O82-]m[I-]n Chemical

≪Propose a reaction mechanism using the criteria presented in the lesson‚ with the third step as the rate-determining step. Hypothetical reaction: A + 2B + 4C ---> 2D + E The rate law has been determined to be [B]^1[C]^2≫ I had prepared the material below before I received your criteria. As you know‚ each step in a reaction mechanism is an elementary step. Each step is characterized by its molecularity. A step could be unimolecular‚ as in A → B or A → B + C It could be bimolecular as in 2A → B +

Exchange Rate Notes Class Notes Exchange rate can be expressed in two ways‚ for example: £1 = 1.52 CHF 1 CHF = £0.66 Foreign Exchange (Forex) Market Many currencies float freely on the free market. However‚ this is a relatively new phenomenon. After the war‚ major currencies were pegged to each other under the Bretton woods agreement. They were backed up by gold reserves to keep them at this level. Prior to the war they were often pegged to the price of Gold. Prior to the Euro (1990s)

For what type of project would Federated’s weighted-average cost of capital be the right discount rate? 2. Suppose Federated Junkyards decides to move to a more conservative debt policy. A year later its debt ratio is down to 15 percent (D/V =.15 ). The interest rate has dropped to 8.6 percent. Recalculate

Changing the Rate of Reaction PART 1: PARTICLE SIZE Question: How does changing the particle size of marble (CaCO3) affect the rate of reaction when it is added to hydrochloric acid (HCl)? Hypothesis: If I change the particle size of marble to test how to change the rate of a chemical reaction‚ than the chemical reaction with the smallest marble particles will produce CO2 the quickest because the larger the surface area‚ the more place the hydrochloric acid will have to collide with the marble
