Highest boiling point……..?

septembre 8th, 2008 by maryharmon

First, you have to figure out the number of moles of each compound by dividing the mass (10 g) by the molar mass (figured out by adding the atomic mass of each atom).

(10 g of C6H12O6) / (180 g per mole) = 0.056 moles
(10 g of CaCl2) / (110 g per mole) = 0.091 moles
(10 g of NaBr) / (102.9 g per mole) = 0.097 moles
(10 g of C12H22O11) / (342 g per mole) = 0.029 moles

And you know that ionic compounds dissociate.

So 0.091 moles of CaCl2 dissociate into 0.091 moles of Ca2+ and 2*0.091 moles of Cl-. So the total number of moles of that compound is 0.091 + 2*0.091 = 0.273 –> 0.27 moles (rounded off according to the rules of significant figures).

Similarly, 0.097 moles of NaBr dissociate into 0.097 moles of Na+ and 0.097 moles of Br- which brings it to a total of 0.194 –> 0.19 moles.

C6H12O6 and C12H22O11 do NOT dissociate because they are organic molecules. (Organic molecules are nonpolar molecules that contain carbon atoms.)

The more moles of a substance, the more number of “obstacles” there are so it requires a higher temperature to boil. Thus, 10 g of CaCl2 (0.27 moles of atoms) will result in a solution with the highest boiling point.

Very interesting “round table ” discussion before the Preakness?

août 11th, 2008 by maryharmon

The reason they looked stupid is not because there aren’t problems with the industry. The problem with the protesters is that they didn’t bother to research the issues before protesting. Had they done a bit of research and talked about the relevant issues like surface, breeding, medication… then their protests would have been very relevant. Fortunately people in the industry were intelligent enough to make the relevant arguments and we’re trying to find change ourselves. It’s sad because the protestors clearly want to make change or else they wouldn’t bother with protesting… had they taken the time to discover the relevant issues, they might have succeeded in making change.

My favorite part of the round table was the one on NBC where Gary Stevens told the guy “you are wrong sir!”

Tattoo? Anyone who has an opinion about them please share it?

Ankles don’t get wrinkly. What people were probably saying is that it would fade much more quickly if it were on your foot since there is so much more wear from socks and shoes there. I think the most important thing is to have something that means something to you, not just something you think is kinda cute. I think the people who regret them are the ones who get it when they are younger and they didn’t really think it through as to what they wanted. Most of the people I know (myself included) highly enjoy having artwork on themselves big or small, as long as it means something. (I planned my first tattoo over 6 years before I finally got it! I don’t think you need to wait that long, but you will never regret it if you make sure its perfect for you the first time!)

how do fly’s land on ceilings?

août 8th, 2008 by maryharmon

Flies nearly can land on every place. When they land on the ceiling, they’re upside down. We take it for granted, but think about this one…When the fly is heading for the ceiling, it’s flying right side up. When it lands on the ceiling it is upside down. At some point along the way it has to flip over. But when? And Where? And How?

Scientists dispelled the prevalent theory, that the fly performed a fighter pilot-like barrel roll just prior to landing, by capturing this momentous event on film.

Freeze frames, from the high-speed cameras scientists used, proved that flies don’t flip, but flop, as they land upon the ceiling. Prior to impact, the fly extends its forward legs over its head, makes contact, and uses the momentum it has gathered in flight to hoist the remainder of its body to the ceiling. Thus, the fly proves to be more of an acrobat, than of a fighter pilot practicing his maneuvers.

Once the fly reunites all six feet on the ceiling, it keeps things dazzlingly exciting, by gracefully tiptoeing across the ceiling, securing itself by using sticky pads found under the two claws attached to each of its feet. It is because of these sticky pads and the hairs on the legs that the fly is such a carrier of disease germs.

Did you know? The entire life of a housefly is spent within a few hundred feet of the area where it was born.

Either way they are very smug !

If anyone has a copy of The Crucible, can you please please help me out. I need a quote.?

HALE: What signifies a poppet, Mr Cheever?

CHEEVER: (turning the poppet over in this hands): Why, they say it may signify that she - (He has lifted the poppet’s skirt, and his eyes widen in astonished fear.) Why, this, this -

PROCTOR: (raching for the poppet): What’s there?

CHEEVER: Why - (He draws out a long needle from the poppet) - it is a needle! Herrick, Herrick, it is a needle!

PROCTOR: (angrily, bewildered): And what signifies a needle!

CHEEVER (his hands shaking!): Why, this go hard with her, Proctor, this - I had my doubts, Proctor, I had my doubts, but here’s calamity. (To Hale, showing the needle) You see it, sir, it is a needle!

HALE: Why? What meanin’ has it?

CHEEVER (wide-eyed, trembling): The girl, the Williams girl, Abigail Williams, Sir. She sat to dinner in Reverand Parris’s house tonight, and without word nor warnin’ she falls to the floor. Lake a struck beast, he says, and screamed a scream that a bull would weep to hear. And he goes to save her, and, stuck two inces in the flesh of her belly, he draw a needle out. And demandin’ of her how she came to be so stabbed, she (to Proctor now) - testify it were your wife’s familiar spirit pushed it in.

PROCTOR: Why, she done it herself! (To Hale) I hope you’re not takin’ this for proof, Mister!
HALE, trick by the proof, is silent.

CHEEVER: ‘Tis hard proof! (To Hale) I find here a poppet Goody Proctor keeps. I have found it, sir. And in the belly of the poppet a needle’s stuck. I tell you true, Proctor, I never warranted to see such proof of Hell, and I bid you obstruct me not, for I -
Enter Elizabeth with mary. Proctor, seeing Mary Warren, draws her by the arm to Hale.

PROCTOR: Here now! Mary, how did this poppet come into my house?

MARY: (frightened for herself, her voice very small): What poppet’s that, sir?

I am flying alone in 2 days and am a little scared! can anyone ease my mind a little please!!!!?

août 6th, 2008 by maryharmon

I’m 24 and last November I flew to Israel (where I also have family) by myself. I had a layover in Prague where I stayed for three days all by my lonesome. It was so much fun and you’ll be so proud of yourself once you do it on your own. I hate flying. I have my own little take off routine where I just close my eyes and try to relax and before I know it I’m up in the air. I took 5 flights in a total of 10 days and let me tell you– best way to get over your fear. Youll be totally fine. Flying international alone is no big deal. English is everywhere in all airports and if you are confused you just ask someone. Usually once you exit the plane an airport staff person waits by the door to direct peopel with transfers. If you are really scared as your doc to prescribe an antianxiety med they’ll ease your mind. But, trust me youll be totally fine. People fly alone all the time and youll just be one of them!

I would like advice on which tall plants to put outside my front door which leads into an enclosed stairwell.?

Here is a website listing evergreen shrubs. After you choose a shrub, go to a nursery and talk with a clerk or the owner. Tell them about your situation and find out if the shrubs will live:

http://gardening.about.com/od/treesshrubs/tp/Privacy_Hedge.htm

More information if needed:
http://extension.missouri.edu/xplor/agguides/hort/g06911.htm

You might have to put tall decorative art work in that area, or fake shrubs.

If you are able to find what you want at the nursery, do the following:

Buy a bag of compost from the nursery,
Dig your hole,
Fill hole with water and let it seep in,
Mix a slow-release fertilizer with some of the compost and the soil that you took out of the hole,
Plant your shrub using this mixture,
Water well.
If holes appear, fill them up with the rest of the compost and left over soil.

OR ask the nursery how to plant the shrubs.

Another thing you can do is large pretty decorative containers of evergreen shrubs or ornamental grasses. Click this link:

What traits will my kids have?

août 4th, 2008 by maryharmon

That’s a hard one to figure and it can go any way really. My boyfriends Mom was white with green eyes and light brown hair and his dad was Mexican with a darker skin tone black hair and dark brown eyes. My boyfriend came out with really light skin and light brown hair and blue eyes, his brother came out with a medium skin black hair and dark brown eyes… They are like night and day however you can still tell they are brother :-) I am Mexican, medium skin tone with dark brown hair and eyes but I also have Chinese blood because my grandmother on my dad side was Chinese so there’s another set of genes that can also conflict things.
All I know is that my baby boy will be beautiful, I’d like to see him get the blue eyes from his dad but we’ll have to wait and see.

Congrats!!

Are the good old days where it’s fun to celebrate, go to concerts, and party gone?

Society thats whats wrong..just like you I was raised in an upper middle class family and I tried to raise my kids the same way…Im assuming that you work for a living…So why not enjoy some of it You shouldnt feel guilty for having a good life becaused it was probably earned and you know how to manage….Enjoy yourself we have to carry on th traditions passed down to us or they will die and I dont know about you but I dont want future generations growing up without laughter and good times..Oh by the way you can have a good time without spending money..we just for got how..togetherness without bickering and just the mere enjoyment of being together is wonderful but spending time with loved ones is a lost art too. I have 5 grandsons and 2 children.my children are grown but we still have a future generation to teach about having a good time .If we all spent our time with the bah humbugs and worked every minute of the day we would die of stress related problems. Sweetheart YOUR life is just that its YOURS so grab every moment you can and leave a legacy behind its not about who ya know or what ya do it HOW YOU LIVE. Enjoy and dont ever be ashamed of living.
