Point load test Aim: To determine the strength characteristics of a rock using the point load test and visual judgement. Materials Loading device Loading frame Pump Ram Platens Rock Caliper Method (Standard‚ 2007) 1. Measure the dimensions of the rock which includes the diameter and length 2. Find the length to diameter ratio to determine which test will be used. If the ratio is greater than 1 use diametrical test. But if the ratio is between 0.6 and 1 use axial test 3. The axial

And while their experiments were real‚ the Boiling Frog Syndrome developed into a widespread didactic anecdote of subordinating‚ ignoring or neglecting the appearance of innocuous environmental phenomena leading to subsequent peril. Strictly speaking‚ it considers a cautionary tale about falling prey

Over the centuries‚ immigration has benefited the United States for the use of slavery‚ but what about for the economy or just the country itself? The US has been given the name‚ “The Boiling Pot‚” because we have a lot of different races combined into one country. Have you ever wondered how the boiling pot could’ve just been some scrap metal if immigrants hadn’t come into the United States and built it a little? Some people think that immigrants just want to steal our jobs‚ but do they really? Maybe

Nick Boyea Billy Lee 3/9/11 Molar Mass by Freezing Point Depression Overview The purpose of this lab is to measure the freezing point depression of a solution of an unknown substance and BHT to determine the molar mass of the unknown substance. Summary of Lab Procedure If not already completed‚ crush a small amount of BHT and pack it into a capillary tube. Use a small rubber band to clamp the capillary tube to the thermometer‚ and fasten the thermometer to a ring stand. Fill a Thiele tube

Melting Point Lab Introduction: The point of this lab was to determine the eutectic point for the naphthalene biphenyl mixture‚ as well as determining the melting point of an unknown substance by comparing it with two known samples. Melting point is a temperature in which a substance changes from solid state to liquid state. Melting points are used to determine whether the given substance is pure or not. Substances that melt sharply‚ less than 1-2°C indicates pure substance. Melting point can

freezing point or melting point of water is the temperature at which water changes phase from a liquid to a solid or vice versa. The freezing point describes the liquid to solid transition while the melting point is the temperature at which water goes from a solid (ice) to liquid water. In theory‚ the two temperatures would be the same‚ but liquids can be super cooled beyond their freezing points so that they don’t solidify until well below freezing point. Ordinarily the freezing point of water is

This paper is a full determination for certain chemicals and their boiling points. It lists some already but given the atomic numbers of any material this project includes a conversion and calculation chart to find the freezing point of most any material. GOOD LUCK! Abstract: In this lab we determined the freezing point‚ and Kf‚ of pure 2‚4‚dichloralbenzne as well as a 2‚4‚dichloralbenzne/biphenyl solution. We used this information to determine the molar mass of an unknown (#24) by the 3rd step
