Eric Klinenberg‚ assistant professor of sociology at New York University (formally of Northwestern University)‚ wrote "Heat Wave: A Social Autopsy of Disaster in Chicago" in order to further investigate the devastating Chicago heat wave of 1995. From July 13h to July 20th‚ the heat led to over 700 deaths and thousands being hospitalized due to heat related illness. Following the catastrophe‚ there have been numerous medical‚ meteorological‚ and epidemiological studies done examining the reasons for

Molar Heat of Combustion Aim: To find the molar heat of combustion for four different alkanols: 1. Methanol 2. Ethanol 3. 1-Propanol 4. 1-Butanol - And to compare the experimental value with the theoretical. Background: The Molar Heat of Combustion of a substance is the heat liberated when 1 mole of the substance undergoes complete combustion with oxygen at standard atmospheric pressure‚ with the final products being carbon dioxide gas and liquid water. (Ref. “Conquering Chemistry‚ Roland

the water would need a set amount of energy to break through the changes in matter. This is why temperature slows down in these phase changes. 2. When the ice is melting is it releasing heat or absorbing heat? Explain your answer. It is absorbing heat as it tries to achieve thermal equilibrium with the incoming heat. The water has more energy‚ which is why the water goes to a more easy to move around “phase” form from

Experiment to measure the latent heat of vaporisation of water Theory Latent heat of vaporisation is when a liquid is heated enough to start boiling‚ at this point‚ even if the source of heat keeps heating the liquid‚ the liquid’s temperature will not rise any further until all of the liquid is converted to gas. For example‚ if water is boiling in a kettle‚ and the kettle is left on whist the water is boiling‚ the water’s temperature will not exceed 100°C because all the heat energy from the kettle is

YOU THINK YOU CAN HANDLE THE HEAT? Mike Lupica’s book Heat has all of the elements that a story needs to have. It has a setting and a theme. It has a plot and a conflict. And what kind of book doesn’t have any characters. Also the story was interesting. Not all stories can appeal like Heat. If you like baseball you would agree that this book is interesting. Heat is about a kid who can’t seem to prove his age after moving to New York from Cuba. His dad has died so he has no contact with Cuba. Also

Heats of Reaction Lab Report Purpose: To measure the heats of reaction for three related exothermic reactions and to verify Hess’s Law of Heat Summation. NaOH(s) ( Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) ΔH = -10.6kcal/mol NaOH(s) + H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) ( H2O + Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) ΔH = -23.9kcal/mol Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) + H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) ( H2O + Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) ΔH = -13.3kcal/mol Background: Energy changes occur in all chemical reactions; energy is either absorbed or released. If energy is released in

Vapor Pressure and Heat of Vaporization Introduction: Evaporation is the process of a liquid becoming vaporized. When a liquid is placed into a confined space some of the liquids will evaporate. Evaporation of the liquid depends on the strength of the intermolecular forces that are between liquid molecules. During the evaporation process of the liquid‚ new gas molecules exerts pressure in the sealed container‚ while some of the gas condenses back to the liquid state. If the temperature inside

The Effects of Heat on the pH of the Vegetable and Their Pigment PURPOSE The purpose of this experiment is to see how pH levels of certain vegetables change while being cooked in four different mediums (frying‚ boiling‚ steaming‚ roasting)‚ and how the varying pH levels change the coloring of the vegetables. We will analyze how the different method of cooking/heating changes the levels of pH. BACKGROUND INFORMATION This experiment is based around the different pigments in vegetables‚ of which
