What is simple torsion and why is it important?

What is an example of torsion force? An example of a torsional force would be anytime a force acting on an object results in a twisted or rotating motion. This twisting movement happens when an applied torque or force encounters an opposing force which generates shear strain. This opposing force could be a result of…

Forces in Truss Members

Forces in Truss Members

Objective To find and familiarize the stresses in the truss due to an externally applied load, and to see how geometry affects to stresses in the truss. Finally, the last goal of this experiment was to become familiar with strain gauge measurements. Known & Assumptions: Materials: The materials required: The triangular trusses Tinius Olsen Testing…

What is a Charpy impact test?

The Charpy impact test, also commonly referred to as the Charpy V-notch test by material scientists, serves as a standardized high-strain rate examination to quantify the energy absorbed by a material upon fracture. The absorbed energy functions as an indicator of the material’s notch toughness. Widely employed in various industries, this test is favored for…

Uniaxial tension test

Tension test, alternatively referred to as tensile testing or uniaxial tension test, is one of the most commonly used tests to determine important material parameters such as Young’s modulus, yield strength, ultimate strength, elongation at break, Poisson’s ratio, and Lankford coefficients (R-values). Tension testing constitutes a foundational test in materials science and engineering, involving the…

Synthesis of a Copper Coordination Compound & Solubility

Synthesis of a Copper Coordination Compound & Solubility

The purpose of this experiment is to prepare a coordination compound of a transition metal, calculate the % yield and then determine the solubility of this compound and solve for Ksp. After conducting this experiment the calculated % yield was 38.2%. The claim is that the experimental Ksp for this compound was 0.0112. For experiment…

Polarity

Polarity

For the first part of the experiment, predictions where made on how different solutes would dissolve in different solvents. The two solvents used were water which is a polar and hexane which is a non polar. Knowing that polar molecules dissolve polar molecules or molecules with a charge, but they do not interact with none…

Kinetics

Kinetics

The Purpose of this experiment was to determine the order of the reaction and how changing the molarity changed the k’ value. To being this experiment 0.2M NaOH concentration was made. Phenolphthalein was then added to the NaOH and the absorbance vs time was recorded. Once all the concentrations were recorded they were plotted to…

Colligative Properties

Colligative Properties

A suspect has been apprehended who is believed to have taken part of a murder. A white crystalline substance has been seized from his house. The suspect is claiming it to be sugar. After careful analysis and experimentation with the substances colligative properties I have concluded that this is in fact sugar and the suspect…
