Understanding the Basic Principles of Mixing Acid and Sulfuric Acid With Mixtures

Understanding the Basic Principles of Mixing Acid and Sulfuric Acid With MixturesIf you are planning to take the Organic Chemistry course, one of the major things that you need to know is about mixing acids with mixtures. It is very important for every chemical scientist to know how to mix together substances. There are various kinds of mixtures that can be mixed such as those which are acid, base and alkali. For the sake of your chemical science you need to know all the chemical steps and chemical reactions before you start your work.In order to understand what is the mixing, it is necessary to understand the different kinds of mixtures that are available. All of these mixtures have different meaning and significance to a certain situation. Generally, the mixtures are classified into two kinds namely the ionic and the covalent. The ionic mixture is the simplest form of mixing as it just requires stirring and the reaction of the different elements which have differing conductivities. In the ionic mixture, the one most important aspect is that the conductivity of the element will determine the reaction.The covalent mixture is more complex than the ionic mixture and makes use of the formation of the covalent bonds between the mixtures. There are four different kinds of covalent mixtures and they are, the cationic mixture, anionic mixture, anionic anionic mixture and ionic, covalent mixture. In this kind of mixture, the different mixtures are mixed together to form specific chemicals.Another important thing about mixtures is that the chemistry student needs to know the chemical reaction of the mixtures before they get started. This is because the reaction is the building block of any chemical process.A lot of students fail in their experiments as they fail to mix the mixture properly. This is because they do not understand the chemical processes and thus do not understand what the substance can do. The substance should react and then the reaction must be able to r eact as well. Thus, in order to understand the chemical reactions, you need to understand the chemical reaction.To comprehend the chemical process, it is necessary to know all the chemical reactions and their result. There are different kinds of reactions that can happen in the reaction. The first one is a non-reaction where there is no chemical reaction to occur. The second one is a reaction that is catalyzed by some other chemical reaction that may come in contact with the source of acid.The third kind of chemical reaction is the introduction of new chemical agents into the system where other chemical reactions might take place. The fourth kind of chemical reaction is the end product of the chemical reaction that came from the new chemical agent introduced into the system.

A Guide to Tackling the ACT Reading Section

A Guide to Tackling the ACT Reading Section ACT SAT Prep and College Admissions Blog Reading four lengthy passages and answering 40 questions in a short timespan of 35 minutes can seem overwhelming, especially if you are not familiar with the ACT Reading section and the many tricks that the ACT writers try to confuse test-takers with. However, a little review and practice of a few simple test-taking strategies will give you the skills and confidence necessary to tackle the ACT Reading section. Strategy 1: Determine what your weaknesses are As with any standardized test, it is always best to determine what you are up against and what your weaknesses are. First, you will need to complete an ACT Reading section in a timed setting. When taking this initial test, make sure that you are approaching it as if you’re taking the real test. If you happen to run out of time, record which question you are on when time runs up, and keep working on the practice test. When scoring your practice test, take note that if you went over the allotted time, then the score that you received on the practice test is not a realistic score, and that your realistic score will likely be a little bit lower. After scoring your test, take note of the types of questions that you missed. Are they mostly inference questions, or detail questions? Did you spend a lot of time reading the passage? Did you struggle with time management? Was it difficult to interpret what the question was asking of you? Figuring out what your weakness is will help you to tackle those weaknesses and prepare strategically for the ACT Reading section. Strategy 2: Determine the best passage reading strategy for you There are many different popular strategies for how to read a passage and answer related questions. Some test-takers like to read the passage in detail before looking at and answering the questions. Other test-takers like to read the questions first, then read the passage in detail, and then answer the questions. Which strategy you should use to approach the reading section depends on your strengths and weaknesses, as well as on your preferences. Read the passage in detail, then answer questions This strategy is often used as a default, since it is what many students are taught in school. The advantage of this strategy is that you have read the passage in full, thus enabling you to have a very thorough sense of the passage. The disadvantage of this strategy is that it is more time consuming than skimming or scanning the passage. Read the questions first, then read the passage This strategy is a popular strategy since many students think that by reading the questions first, they are better able to pinpoint the answer in the passage when they are reading it. This strategy may be helpful to some since you know what the questions are asking before you read the passage; however, the disadvantage of this strategy is that you will inevitable have to read the questions twice, thus making you do double work. Another disadvantage of this strategy is that you spend more time reading a passage in detail than by skimming the passage. Skim the passage first, then answer questions This strategy is the most effective strategy if you have strong skimming capabilities. By skimming the passage, you are able to garner the main idea, purpose, and keywords of the passage in a short amount of time. Skimming allows you more time to carefully answer each questions, or provide you with a little extra time to quickly consult the passage before answering a question. If you don’t have strong skimming skills, you can develop this skill by practicing skimming on articles and other reading passages. Experiment with these three strategies for tackling the ACT Reading section and figure out which one is the best for you. Strategy 3: Familiarize yourself with the types of questions presented on the ACT Reading Section The ACT is predictable in the types of questions that they pose to test-takers. Most questions will ask you to do one of the following: Identify and interpret details Determine the main idea of a paragraph, paragraphs, or passage Understand comparative relationships (compare and contrast) Understand cause-and-effect relationships Make generalizations Determine the meaning of words from context Understand sequences of events Draw conclusions about the author’s voice and method This list covers the most frequently asked questions. The ACT does ask a few questions that aren’t specified in this list, but you shouldn’t worry too much about that since you’ll be able to find the answer in the passage for any question asked of you. I recommend becoming familiar with each of these question types, determine which areas are your weakness, and drill out your weakness by answering many practice problems in that area. Strategy 4: Determine the main idea of each paragraph One strategy that I use very often, especially on the Humanities, Social Studies, and Natural Sciences passage on the ACT Reading section is to underline the main idea, or the topic sentence, of each paragraph. This strategy helps to ground me in the ‘big picture’ and purpose of the paragraph, and of the passage as a whole. While using this strategy, it is more difficult to get distracted by supplemental details or get confused by answer choices that are incorrect. Strategy 5: Eliminate wrong answer types Often times, the writers of the ACT exam try to trick test-takers to choose an answer choice that is partially correct, instead of choosing the best answer choice. In order to avoid falling prey to this trick of theirs, make sure that you carefully read each answer choice and ask these three questions before selecting the correct answer: Is this answer choice too specific? Is this answer choice too broad? Does this answer choice reverse the relationship of issues or events? Does this answer choice introduce a new idea? Does this answer choice present an unrelated concept or object? If an answer choice does any one of the aforementioned things, then it is probably an incorrect answer choice and you should eliminate it. Strategy 6: Tackle the Reading Section As always, the only way to improve your performance at anything is to practice, practice, practice! Take practice ACT Reading tests often and make sure that you understand every question that you answered incorrectly, and why you answered it incorrectly. As you review the questions that you answered incorrectly, make sure to write down how you will attack this type of question differently in the future. It is imperative that you understand why the correct answer is the best answer choice, and the reason behind why you chose an incorrect answer choice. The more and more you review why you answered a question incorrectly and how to tackle it in the future, the less likely you are to repeat the same mistake, and the more likely that you are to answer a similar question correctly in the future.

Six Things to Pay Attention to on the First Report Card

Six Things to Pay Attention to on the First Report Card Your child has been back in school for a month or two by now, which means theres an important milestone coming up: the first report card of the year. As Eileen Huntington of Huntington Learning Center explains, the first report card is telling and significant. Parents should give the report card much more than a glance, says Huntington. This early checkup shares a lot about how children are progressing in all subjects so far as well as how ready they were or werent for the grade. As you review your childs first report card of the year, Huntington suggests paying careful attention to these six things: The grades Grades are the most obvious sign of how your child is doing in school. Look at both the grades themselves and the change in grades from last year. Did your child end sixth grade math with an A but now has a B- at the start of seventh grade? Teacher comments about behavior Read all remarks about your childs academic attitude and classroom behavior. Does the teacher mention concern about responsibility, self-control, ability to work well with others, aggressiveness or anything else? Does the teacher commend your child for his or her work ethic, attitude or team effort? Areas of strength Remember that the report card isnt just a tool for identifying problems. Take note of positive comments about your child as well. Your teacher gets to know your child on a different level, after all. He or she might notice aspects of your childs personality and performance that are special or exceed expectations. Marks or comments about study habits and organization Good study skills are essential, and the further your child progresses in school, the more important they become. Look for any indicators about your childs study habits and organizational/time management skills (or lack thereof). Areas of progress Its only the first report card of the year, but the teacher might have included measurements about your childs progress toward grade-level standards for the year or the semester. Notes about potential Straight As looks great, but you must read between the lines a little on report cards as well. Did your child forgo honors English for regular English, receiving an A+ on the report card? Just as you do not want your child to be overly challenged in school, you dont want your child to lose opportunities to reach his or her potential. A conversation with the teacher might help you better assess whether your child is being appropriately pushed. Huntington reminds parents that the report card is just one tool to help them support their children. Being involved as a parent and communicating frequently with teachers is absolutely critical, he/she says. Its also vital that you establish a good working relationship with your child regarding school. Set expectations and support your child as a student by asking about school often. And when questions about the report card do come up, have an open conversation with your child as well as any teachers or guidance counselors. If the first report card of the school year had a few unfortunate surprises or you have other concerns about your childs academic performance, call Huntingtonthe earlier in the year, the better. School problems rarely go away. The longer theyre ignored, the harder it is for children to catch up and rebuild their self-esteem.

Tattoos Taboo or trendy

Tattoos Taboo or trendy My tattoos; love on the inside of my left wrist, and the crown from the Keep Calm and Carry On posters with KBO (a Winston Churchill catchphrase which stands for keep buggering on) underneath it on the inside of my right ankle. Photo taken by me. Im 28 years old, I have a BA in History and am a semester and a third away from a BA in Communications, Ive never been arrested, never done drugs, and whilst I dont get to Mass every week, I go more often than Christmas/Easter/Holy Days. I also have two tattoos. Tattoos, I might add, that werent just drunken whims. And its not just me a number of my friends have at least one tattoo, and many of those have more than one. It seems like after every semester break, at least a couple people I know at school return sporting new ink. Naturally, this got me thinking about tattoos and how society in general feels about them. So of course I did a little research. In 2009, Pew Research did an end-of-decade survey asking the American public a series of questions about the previous ten years. One of the questions asked pointed out that more people were getting tattoos than in previous decades and asked respondents how they felt about that change. Just 7% said it was a change for the better whilst 45% said the change made no difference and 40% said it was a change for the worse. Earlier that year, CBS News posted a story entitled Tattoos Becoming More Accepted at Work, which cited the statistic that 23% of college students have one to three tattoos and that 36% over a third of adults aged 18 to 29 have them. In 2010, UK newspaper The Guardian reported that a survey indicated that one-fifth of British adults are inked. Another Pew Research study, this one conducted in 2010, aimed to create a portrait of the so-called Millennials generation (those aged 18-29 in 2010). The study puts the percentage of Millennials with tattoos at 38%. By comparison, the study says that 32% of Americans aged 30-45 have at least one tattoo, and then the numbers begin to drop away sharply: of Boomers (aged 46-64), 15% have at least one tattoo, and of those above age 65, just 6% sport ink. Whilst the stigma against tattoos/tattooed individuals appears to be going strong amongst older Americans, amongst those 45 and under there is an increasing tolerance of and even enthusiasm for tattoos. This has significant implications as far as workplace policies regarding tattoos are concerned; if society in general is more accepting of tattoos, it follows that visible tattoos will become less of an issue. That being said, a full 70% of Millennials and 73% of those aged 30 or older said that their tattoos are normally not visible. Early this year, Harris Interactive conducted a new poll regarding tattoos. According to the poll, 21% of U.S. adults report having a tattoo, which is up from previous years. It seems that with the increasing number of adults with tattoos this permanent body art is becoming more accepted fewer people think it is related to deviant behavior than before yet among those without tattoos there are still several negative stigmas associated with having tattoos. All in all, each later poll seems to show an increasing amount of acceptance, or at least ambivalence as opposed to negative reactions, towards tattoos and individuals who have them. Additionally, all of the polls that ask people with tattoos if they regret getting them, a large majority (as high as 84%) said that they do not. It seems, then, that tattoos might still be taboo with older generations, but they are increasingly trendy amongst younger generations, especially college-aged individuals. If you are considering getting a tattoo, I have a few pieces of advice. Plan what you want, where on your body you want it, and where in the world youre going to get it beforehand. Do your research, especially about tattoo shops and artists in your area. You want to find somewhere that is clean, safe, and friendly. And if youre going to have their work on your body for the rest of your life, you want your tattoo artist to be someone whose work you admire. Dont get tattooed when you are drunk, and if youre getting tattoo number one its probably a good idea not to do it on a whim. Most importantly, though, do everything you can to make sure that youll be in that 84% of tattooed individuals who dont have any tattoos they regret.
