Compare And Contrast Almond And Witchcraft
The data from this experiment demonstrates that the almond will produce a higher increase in the temperature of the water, when compared to the marshmallow. As shown in the observation chart, the change in temperatures for each almond trial is significantly higher than the marshmallow trials. It is also worth noting that the mass of the marshmallows are similar to that of the almonds. In fact, in trials one and three, the marshmallow has a larger mass than the almond. This information is significant in proving that the mass of the object is not an impactful factor in the amount of heat given off or the duration of the combustion of the object. During this experiment, it was determined that the almond required more thermal energy to combust

    The amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of an object exactly 1°C is the heat capacity of that object. The specific heat capacity of a substance is then the amount of heat it takes to raise the temperature of 1g of the substance1°C. Caliometry is the precise measurement of the heat flow into or out of a system for chemical and physical processes. Heat flow is measured in two common units, the calorie and the Joule. 1 calorie= 1 kilocalorie = 1000 calories. A calorimeter is the device used to measure the absorption or release of heat. In this lab, the water in aluminum can “calorimeter” gains the heat lost during the combustion of a Cheeto.…

    First we chose an unknown metal, in which our unknown was unknown metal 2, the metal was gray and irregular shaped. We setup the calorimeter and got a mass of it just being empty then we got a mass with 30mls of water in it. We found the mass of the water by subtracting the mass of the empty calorimeter which was 49.987g and the mass of the calorimeter with water which was 87.332g and got the mass of just the water 37.345g. The metal was placed in a test tube 5cm high and we got the mass of the empty test tube that was 42.703g and then with the metal in it and it was 72.607g. We heated the 300ml of water to a boil, then placed the metal that was in a tube and waited 10 minutes before we took it out. The temperature of the water before the metal was placed was 20 degrees Celsius, when we put the hot metal into the water and stirred it with the stirring rod it was 29 degrees Celsius, the change of the temperature after the metal was placed was 9 degrees. We ran this experiment twice to compare the results. In the second experiment we found that the mass of the calorimeter and water with 50mls was 100.033g and the empty calorimeter was 50.857g. We subtracted them two and we got the mass of water was 49.176g. The temperature of the water before the metal was placed in was 21 degrees Celsius and then when the metal was heated up for 10 minutes the temperature went up to 28 degrees Celsius. The change in temperature in the second trial was 7 degrees Celsius.…

    If the test tube is closer to the watch glass then the temperature of the water will increase because more heat is being conducted and less heat is being released to the surrounding atmosphere. Using the equation q=M×C×ΔT, we can determine the calories used in Flaming Hot Cheetos.…

    In this experiment, a device that measures heat, a calorimeter, will be used. For this experiment, a calorimeter will be made with two nested Styrofoam cups, cardboard to cover the top as a lid, a thermometer, as well as about 25mL of water and about 7g of NH4¬NO3. The temperature of the solution will be closely monitored with the thermometer.…

    This is known as specific heat capacity; it measures the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of that particular substance by 1 degree Celsius. Specific heat capacity was first discovered in the 18th century by a Scottish scientist by the name of Joseph Black who noticed that different substances of equal masses required distinctive amounts of heat to raise them to similar temperature intervals (Encyclopædia Britannica 2014). The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/g°C. Energy is most commonly measured joules (J) or kilojoules (kJ) during the study of heat transfer between two substances (Tuckerman n.d.); however, there is another measurement for energy which is used to measure the amount of energy in food, and this is referred to as food calories. Food calories are equal to 1000 heat calories and 1 heat calorie is equal to 4.184 joules (Calories in Food – A Factor in Weight Maintenance and Weight Loss n.d.). Consequently, it can be seen that the specific heat of a substance can also be measured in calories. Therefore, the specific heat capacity of water can also be written as 1 cal/g°C. In this lab, the calculations were done using food calories and heat calories in order to determine the caloric content of one marshmallow per…

    Additionally, witchcraft for the Azande people provides a sort of an outlet to ‘channel’ their negative, pessimists thoughts and emotions; for example: hatred, envy and bitterness. Similarly to theology and religions in the Western society, witchcraft produces a sort of support and comfort for the Azande people. For example, it gives them a simple, clear and plain reasoning to explain despairing, mournful events and misfortunes and other tragedy. As the famous Marx quote goes: ‘religion is the opiate of the masse.’ For the Azande society, witchcraft is what relieves and cures the sorrowful thoughts and emotions following tragedy while also serving a control and power over the Azande people; teaching and allowing them to discipline themselves…

    Witchcraft is said to be the most widespread cultural phenomenon in existence today and throughout history. Even those who shun the ideas of witchcraft cannot discount the similarities in stories from all corners of the globe. Witchcraft and its ideas have spread across racial, religious, and language barriers from Asia to Africa to America. Primitive people from different areas in the world have shockingly similar accounts of witchcraft occurrences. In most cases the strange parallels cannot be explained and one is only left to assume that the tales hold some truth. Anthropologists say that many common elements about witchcraft are shared by different cultures in the world. Among these common elements are the physical characteristics and the activities of supposed witches. I will go on to highlight some of the witch characteristic parallels found in printed accounts from different parts of the world and their comparisons to some famous fairytales.…

    There are many myths and misconceptions about Wicca or Witchcraft and Satanism that are often held by people of other faith based belief systems. If you go by some of the Evangelical Christians definition of a Satanist you are left with a very large percentage of the population being Satanist as only about 10% of the world’s population is Christian. They often think any religion that is not theirs has to be therefore a Satanist; hence Wicca or The Craft is thereby Satanic in nature. Wicca is a Nature based Neopagan religion. It is a giving and loving religion. Satanism also is an Earth based Neopagan religion. It on the other hand is very self centered and idiosyncratic. They have many similarities and differences from theology, principles…

A threat that according to the ancient Greek and Roman authors is something to fear and while the witches of their time did not have green skin, they were just as horrifying. Apuleius, Lucan, and Petronius demonstrate the horrors that witches are capable of in their accounts of experiences with Magical women.…

    Witchcraft And Exorcism

    The history of past views and treatments for abnormal behavior was the most interesting to me in this week’s reading, especially witchcraft and exorcism. I remember learning about witchcraft including the Salem witch trials during high school. It has me curious as to what they would have considered abnormal behavior back then and which behaviors would have you sent to an asylum or hospital. I was surprised by how often the treatments and care of people with abnormal behavior changed, affected by cost of care, religion and prejudices. I found the experimental methods interesting to read, especially the natural experiments because of the recent Hurricane Matthew that affected millions in our country. With warnings that this storm can kill you…
