Determination of an Equilibrium Constant Abstract: In this experiment‚ two reactions were run to determine the molar absorptivity and the equilibrium constant of FeSCN2+. The main principles used in this lab are equilibrium‚ LeChatlier’s Principle‚ Beer’s Law and Spectrocopy. The first reaction was run to completion using LeChatier’s Principle and the second reaction was run to equilibrium. A spectrophotometer was used to measure absorbances. Using a graph of absorbance versus concentration

Calugay______ An experiment to obtain and compare the spring constants of 3 strings (soft‚ medium‚ and hard) obtained in 2 ways (using the energy chapter and the dynamics chapter)‚ to confirm that Hooke’s Law is valid over a range of initial displacements‚ and to find the acceleration due to gravity on unknown Planet X. Problem: What are the spring constants of 3 strings (soft‚ medium‚ and hard) and how do they compare? Theory: To find the spring constants of each string‚ we can calculate the velocity that

molecules (or atoms) in a gas are separated by large distances and are in constant‚ random motion. When dealing with gases‚ the Ideal Gas Law equation is the most famous equation used to relate all the factors in dealing and solving the problem. The four factors or variables for gas are: pressure (P)‚ volume (V)‚ number of mole of gas (n)‚ and temperature (T)‚ and the constant in the equation is R‚ known as the gas constant. The Ideal Gas law equation which is pV=nRT is obtained by combining the

Report: Calculating the Spring Constant and Verifying that Energy is Conserved Within a System Abstract: An experiment was conducted to determine the spring constant of a spring in the cart by measuring the force required to compress a spring as well as the distance the spring compressed relative to the equilibrium position. A cart was placed onto a slanted track and speed and force censors were used to record appropriate data. The spring constant was determined by substituting

When estimating the effect of changes in the money supply to changes in nominal GDP‚ it is common to assume that the velocity of money is constant. The velocity of money is a measure of average number of times per year that a dollar is exchanged. The quantity theory of money states that the money supply multiplied by the velocity of money is equal to the price level multiplied by output. ( ) Price level multiplied by output is the nominal output. Therefore‚ a percent change in the money
