King Leopold obtained these raw materials for almost nothing and sold them with inflated prices in Europe. Leopold’s soldiers forced the Congolese into slave labor to extract these raw materials. Consequently‚ he amassed large quantities of rubber and ivory with low labor

and electrostatics PHY 114 Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to measure the electrostatic force between two objects as a function of their signs and electrical charges. This was done using many equipment’s such as a glass and rubber rod. In addition‚ investigate how capacitors store energy electrostatically in an electric field‚ share charges and discharge. This was done by using equipment’s like voltage follower‚ DVM‚ powered breadboard unit and a selection of capacitors. The

Chemistry 11 Santa Monica College Determination of Molecular Mass via the Dumas Method Objectives: • To determine the molecular mass of an unknown volatile liquid using the Dumas method and the ideal gas law. Background: In the early 19th century‚ Jean-Baptiste Dumas‚ a distinguished French chemist‚ created a relatively simple method for determining the molecular mass of a volatile substance. In this experiment we will use a modified version of his technique to determine the molecular

Work is being done on the arm because the elastic force of the rubber band is causing in to travel forward. Kinetic energy is used to pull back the catapult‚ and get the rubber band ready for launch. The rubber band contains elastic potential energy. That elastic potential energy converts to kinetic energy‚ and the marshmallow launched gains gravitational potential energy while losing

African continent can be traced back to as early as the late 1400s‚ when an European explorer sailed the west coast and discovered the Congo River. The industrial Revolution sparked Europeans’ keen interest to explore Africa. Diamonds‚ gold‚ ivory‚ and rubber would be the sources of wealth for the Europeans. “Underlying much of Europe’s excitement was the hope that Africa would be a source of raw materials to feed the Industrial Revolution‚ just as the search for raw materials- slaves- for the colonial

Phenols were used as antiseptics during surgery to prevent cuts and wounds from getting infected. Isoprene‚ which is rubber‚ has been made into countless everyday items that we use to this day. Silk is one of the most valued fabrics in the world. Silk is very hard to harvest and it is expensive. Cellulose is the main component of cotton. Cotton is cheap and most of

A rubber shoe is an end product of a manufacturing process that involves God as the creator of the plant that yields latex that is used for making rubber. It also involves the energy and self-giving of workers. If one sees shoes just as items to be used‚ regardless of the aforementioned complexity‚ carelessness grows that leads to wasteful destruction. Wasteful destruction of rubber shoes‚ moreover‚ leads to an increase in harvesting of latex

Belgian Congo. ("Congo‚ Democratic Republic of the." Paragraph 2) Soon the Belgian Congo would fall into depression as the Belgians would turn the natives into labor slaves. Belgian Congo is land rich of rubber and Leopold wanted it. "Leopold accumulated a vast personal fortune from ivory and rubber through Congolese slave labor; 10 million people are estimated to have died from forced labor‚ starvation‚ and outright extermination during Leopold ’s colonial rule." ~ "Congo‚ Democratic Republic of the
