Chemistry: The Element Of Nickel
The element of Nickel is number 28 which means it has 28 electrons and 28 protons (this is the atomic number). The atomic mass of Nickel is 58.71 g.mol^-1 which means that there are 30.69334 neutrons since you subtract the number of protons from the atomic mass to get the number of neutrons. The electronegativity of Nickel is 1.8 on the Pauling scale; this is the tendency of Nickel to attract a bonding pair of electrons. The density of Nickel is 8.9 g.com^-3 at 20°C and the melting point is 1454 °C. The physical properties of Nickel are that it is silver in color, magnetic, hard, ductile, and malleable. Since it is a metal, it also conducts electricity and heat. Nickel is used in coins because it remains shiny and also in magnets as an alloy

    Determination of % Composition of Pennies Using Spectroscopy

    In this lab, we will determine the percent composition of a modern (post-1982) penny by using a strong acid to react and dissolve the zinc core, leaving only the copper coating. Once only copper remains, we will compare its mass to the entire mass of the penny to determine how much of a penny is copper and how much is zinc.…

    Analysis of Nickel and Dimed

    In the essay, “Serving in Florida,” by Barbara Ehrenreich, the author shares her experiences of how it is for an unskilled person to live on minimum wage in Florida. She wanted to see if she could maintain a lifestyle working low wage paying jobs the way millions of women were. By the authors use of ethos, pathos and logos, one can feel and understand the stress that many of these Americans have. There are three types of persuasion; ethos: the credibility that the author establishes, pathos: the persuasion of audiences by using emotions, and logos: systems of reasoning. By putting all these persuasive techniques together, the author was able to create an essay in which the people from the same background could identify with.…

    Copper: Proton, Neutron, And Electron

    There are three main components that make up the atom copper; proton, neutron, and electrons. The neutron and the proton make the nucleus, that has a positive charge from the protons. The electrons have a negative charge and it orbits around the nucleus. The protons and electrons attract to each other because they are opposites. How many electrons are there in the copper atom, and why that particular number? There are 29 electrons in the copper atom because since the atom doesn't have a charge the electron number is the same as the proton number. The first shell around the nucleus has two electrons, the second shell has 8 electrons. The third shell has 8 electrons and the fourth shell has 2 electrons. How many stable copper isotopes should…

    Nickel And Dimed Analysis

    In “Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America”, Barbara Ehrenreich, a well-off white woman with a Ph.D. in Biology questions how low-income workers, especially females, make a living. Due to the welfare reform, 4 million women were about to have to enter into the workforce, usually for less than minimum wage. Ehrenreich decides to make an experiment out of her ideas. She decided she would travel to three different cities: Key West, FL., Portland, ME., and Twin Cities, MN. (all picked based off of the low salary there), and attempt to live as a regular low-income woman. She wants to find out how they make their income work and what they do to get by. Ehrenreich makes a set of…

    Nickel and Dimed Analysis

    In Barbara Ehrenreich's book "Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting by In America" we read about a middle aged journalist undertaking a social experiment of the greatest magnitude. The journalist is Ehrenreich herself and the experiment was to find out how a woman, recently removed from welfare, due to policy reform, would make it on a six or seven dollar an hour wage. The experiment itself started out as just a question in the middle of lunch with one of Ehrenreich's editors, it soon turned into a job assignment. Before starting the experiment, Ehrenreich laid out some ground rules for her to follow during the duration of the assignment. First she could never use her college degree, or other work experience to land a job. Second, she had to take the highest paying job that was offered to her, and do whatever she could to hold it. This means not quitting a job, no matter how grueling the work place environment was. Third, she had to find the cheapest living conditions she could find, with reasonable respect paid to personal safety, and basic privacy. Also before starting out Ehrenreich was sure to point out that while she did try to adhere to the rules as best she could, there was minor rule bending and occasionally rule breaking. The final problem Ehrenreich worked out before embarking on this journey, is how to market herself to the people she was about to work for and with. She decided to go with a cover story that was more of a succinct version of who she really is. While it is true that she is a divorced wife, it is untrue that she has not been employed over the past few years. This was required to keep from receiving preferential treatment, and to prevent her test environment from becoming tainted. Ehrenreich decided that since she already lived in Florida she might as well start there with her experiment, moving to nearby Key West, Florida. She shares in the opening that she…

    Nickel and Dimed Analysis

    Looking at whether or not individuals living in poverty are considered to be a minority group by our contemporary culture is an interesting scenario. I’m a social work major so of course I want to think, yes, individuals living poverty are most definitely an oppressed group in society. Minimum wage is nowhere near to what could be classified as a living wage, and these positions often have little room for career advancement within the company. But I assume that what the question was getting at was whether or not those living in poverty are viewed as a minority group by America’s contemporary culture. The answer to that I believe is a “no.” People who belong to the upper and middle classes often don’t consider the fact that you can have a job yet still be living in poverty. A single parent may hold down two minimum-wage paying jobs, but still need a little help to make ends meet. And because they receive government assistance their hard work is ignored and they are simply viewed as lazy nuisances who are mooching off the middle classes’ tax dollars, not an oppressed minority group.…

    Nickel And Dimed: A Comparative Analysis

    Although authors Barbara Ehrenreich and Matthew B. Crawford both obtain a higher degree from a university, both continue to work low-income jobs for different reasons. Ehrenreich believes minimum wage work is challenging in all aspects of the employment. She has the option to remove herself from this lifestyle but continues to stay in order to gain experience for her book "Nickel and Dimed". Crawford on the other hand finds a deeper appreciation for the working class, and even though he has an option to pursue a higher education career with his college degree he chooses to work as a mechanic for the love he has for the work. With both authors coming from similar backgrounds it's interesting to analyze how their ideas continue to differ dramatically.…

    Nickel+Dimed Reaction Essay Example

    The book Nickel and Dimed was a refreshing easy read. With consideration to my workload for the semester I appreciated this small favor, however, nothing could have prepared me for the pages ahead. As I conceptualized this paper I was battling my criticisms and trying to keep an open mind. I ended my conceptualization feeling helpless and not knowing where to begin. Where better then the beginning? I was initially thrilled to read the things she was writing about serving in Florida. Not only because I live in Florida, but also because I am a drink and food schlepper myself. At first reading about the problems with customers and endless side work brought a smile to my face, but shortly my smile faded into something of a brooding disposition. Not only was I annoyed reading my trials and tribulations on the page, but also I was attempting to separate myself from the text and put it in a single woman/mom perspective (the assignment is my only reason for attempting to be unbiased which I am generally not very good at). It had never occurred to me that these downfalls of society not only afflicted me, but women in even less of a position beside myself. I find it hard to fully engage the contempt-ridden position these women are in. When dealing with an annoying customer I generally have a hard time letting it roll of. I cannot imagine being forced into such a submissive position because one desperately needs this 2-dollar tip to keep from living in her car.…

    Visible Spectrophotometric Analysis of Cobalt and Nickel

    When mixing the solutions and placing them on the hot plate, color differences were found. The colors became brighter; such as for cobalt a bright pink color, for nickel a green/blue color that later on turned into bright blue as the NiNO3 dissolved and heated. The unknown from being a light pink turned purple as the EDTA was added. The solvents all dissolved in less than an hour and a half. The heating started at 2:15pm and was taken out at about 3:10pm. When working with the Spectronic 20, it was noticed that the numbers jumped around a lot while trying to find the point at which the instrument was most responsive. The readjusting seemed difficult yet after a couple of tries it started working accordingly.…

    Critical Review: Nickel and Dimed

    Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich is a mentally challenging read in more ways than one. In this book, Ms. Ehrenreich guides us through her adventure into starting over from the bottom of the social barrel. Her experiment with poverty begins with an agenda, a few amenities, some rules, and a lot of ambition to dive into her new lifestyle. The overall take from this book I received is one that left me critically thinking. Ehrenreich’s uses her arguments, examples, and evidence to state and support her conclusion: the working poor should be paid more. However, her final verdict is not one I am not entirely against, nor do I find it practical. After reading her story and doing some analyzing of my own, I’ve decided that her argument seems valid, yet, her conclusion standing alone does not.…

    Proton Vs Nuetron

    The atoms have a nucleus with protons and neutrons in it and then electrons that orbit around the nucleus all atoms are identical with 29 protons and 29 electrons. Since the atomic mass of copper is 63.55, there must also be 34.55 neutrons in all copper atoms. Only one isotope of copper is possible since all of the atoms will have the same nubmer of nutrons. Protons and nuetrons have a lot larger mass than electrons so they occupy the most volume in the atom. Since copper is in the third period in the periodic table the 29 electrons are distributed as evenly as possible between these three shells that means roughly 10 electrons per shell. Since there are only 29 electrons and the first shell is smaller, it will have 9 electrons in it with 10…
