deformation and fails after a given settlement. Terzaghi developed a simple equation which calculated the ultimate bearing capacity of a soil which was dependent on the soils’ properties and the loading conditions. The first term takes into account the effect of the cohesion of the soil‚ the second term for the surcharge on the soil and the third term for the self-weight of the soil. All of the factors of Nq Nc Nγ are derived from the friction angle of the soil. Terzaghi had developed the equation

Study of Solubility Equilibrium of Potassium Hydrogen Tartrate Wang Haina 1. Aim 1. To determine the solubility of potassium hydrogen tartrate (KHT) at various temperatures from 10°C to 50 °C‚ and determine the corresponding Ksp at these temperatures. 2. To obtain the changes in enthalpy and entropy of the dissolution of KHT from the dependence of Ksp on temperature. 2. Results and discussion 2.1 Collection of data A portion of KHT (1 to 1.5 g) was added into about 100 mL of deionised

CHAPTER 10 CRITICISMS OF ABSORPTION COST SYSTEMS: INCENTIVE TO OVER-PRODUCE P 10-1: Solution to Federal Mixing (10 minutes) [Explaining absorption versus variable costing] Variable costing writes off to income all fixed manufacturing costs incurred during the year. Absorption costing prorates the fixed overheads between units in inventory and units sold based on machine hours. Absorption costing net income is higher than under variable costing by $1.2 million. This means that inventories

Findings Analysis to determine the sex of our case study AFA was done using a physical exam karyotyping and PCR-based sex testing. The results from our physical exams on AFA showed well-developed female external genitalia‚ presence of breasts‚ no menstrual cycle‚ and no facial or chest hair. This led to a conclusion that AFA is a sterile female. The results from the Karyotype Analysis showed presence of 22 pairs of autosomes chromosomes and two X’s revealing that she is female. Lastly the PCR-based

Solubility product The Solubility product is related to SPARINGLY SOLUBLE SALTS ONLY!!!!! Examples are silver chloride‚ lead(II) chloride‚ calcium sulphate (in other words‚ it deals with salts commonly called insoluble salts) Consider a sparingly soluble salt MX Imagine the reaction that occurs when the solid is placed in water aMX (s) + H2O [pic] aMn+ (aq) + bXm- (aq) The equilibrium expression would be [Mn+]a [Xm-]b [MX]a [H2O]

mass of calcium carbonate content?Calcium carbonate is a substance found in the eggshells giving them hardness and strength. It is essential to the commercial egg industry that the biggest possible amount of eggs reaches the market. Hence‚ as calcium carbonate reacts steadily with hydrochloric acid to produce carbon dioxide as well as two other substances‚ I investigated which type of an eggshell contains more calcium carbonate. This reaction cannot be used directly to titrate the calcium carbonate

Complexometric Determination of Water Hardness Abstract: Create a standardized EDTA solution for use as a titration solution to determine the hardness of water from a single random sample. Introduction: Using a calibrated EDTA solution to determine water hardness from a random sample. Essentially the Na2EDTA solution reacts one to one with the mineral content of a sample of tap water and by use of a standardized solution a ppm estimation can be obtained for the hardness of water.

molecules as a part of their crystal structure. We call such solids hydrates‚ and we call the bound water the water of hydration. A hydrate has a definite number of water molecules bound to each anhydrous salt unit. The formula of the hydrate copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate is CuSO4 · 5 H2O The dot indicates that the molecules of water are attached to the ions in CuSO4 by weak bonds. We can drive off the water of hydration by heating the hydrate. If blue CuSO4 · 5 H2O is heated‚ the water of hydration
