Is a Hersheys candy bar more dense than a 3 musketeers bar please answer as soon as possible?
Yes the density of a Hershey's bar is more than a three musketeers bar. The solid chocolate bar is more dense than the tasty nougat bar full of gas
What is rate of evaporation of acetone?
There is no definite answer to this question because evaporation rate depend on the temperature, surface area, pressure and also convection wind-speed. However, given same condition in compare to water, judging from it's vapour pressure of approximately 25 kPa, it is 10 fold of water at room temperature and it should evaporate 10 time faster than water.
PS. For safety reason, do this experiment in a ventilated area or in designated fume cupboard and have fire extinguisher at hand.
Explain construction and working of lead storage batteries?
CONSTRUCTION :
PlatesThe lead--acid cell can be demonstrated using sheet lead plates for the two electrodes. However such a construction produces only around one ampere for roughly postcard sized plates, and for only a few minutes.Gaston Planté found a way to provide a much larger effective surface area. In Planté's design, the positive and negative plates were formed of two spirals of lead foil, separated with a sheet of cloth and coiled up. The cells initially had low capacity, so a slow process of "forming" was required to corrode the lead foils, creating lead dioxide on the plates and roughening them to increase surface area. Initially this process used electricity from primary batteries; when generators became available after 1870, the cost of production of batteries greatly declined.Planté plates are still used in some stationary applications, where the plates are mechanically grooved to increase their surface area.
Faure pasted-plate construction is typical of automotive batteries. Each plate consists of a rectangular lead grid alloyed with antimony or calcium to improve the mechanical characteristics. The holes of the grid are filled with a paste of red lead and 33% dilute sulfuric acid. (Different manufacturers vary the mixture). The paste is pressed into the holes in the grid which are slightly tapered on both sides to better retain the paste. This porous paste allows the acid to react with the lead inside the plate, increasing the surface area many fold. Once dry, the plates are stacked with suitable separators and inserted in the battery container. An odd number of plates is usually used, with one more positive plate than negative. Each alternate plate is connected.
The positive plates are the chocolate brown color of Lead(IV) Oxide, and the negative are the slate gray of "spongy" lead at the time of manufacture. In this charged state the plates are called 'formed'.
One of the problems with the plates is that the plates increase in size as the active material absorbs sulfate from the acid during discharge, and decrease as they give up the sulfate during charging. This causes the plates to gradually shed the paste. It is important that there is room underneath the plates to catch this shed material. If it reaches the plates, the cell short-circuits.
The paste contains carbon black, blanc fixe (barium sulfate) and lignosulfonate. The blanc fixe acts as a seed crystal for the lead--to--lead sulfate reaction. The blanc fixe must be fully dispersed in the paste in order for it to be effective. The lignosulfonate prevents the negative plate from forming a solid mass during the discharge cycle, instead enabling the formation of long needle--like crystals. The long crystals have more surface area and are easily converted back to the original state on charging. Carbon black counteracts the effect of inhibiting formation caused by the lignosulfonates. Sulfonated naphthalene condensate dispersant is a more effective expander than lignosulfonate and speeds up formation. This dispersant improves dispersion of barium sulfate in the paste, reduces hydroset time, produces a more breakage-resistant plate, reduces fine lead particles and thereby improves handling and pasting characteristics. It extends battery life by increasing end--of--charge voltage. Sulfonated naphthalene requires about one-third to one-half the amount of lignosulfonate and is stable to higher temperatures.
Practical cells are usually not made with pure lead but have small amounts of antimony, tin, calcium or selenium alloyed in the plate material to add strength and simplify manufacture. The alloying element has a great effect on the life of the batteries, with calcium-alloyed plates preferred over antimony for longer life and less water consumption on each charge/discharge cycle.
About 60% of the weight of an automotive-type lead--acid battery rated around 60 Ah (8.7 kg of a 14.5 kg battery) is lead or internal parts made of lead; the balance is electrolyte, separators, and the case.
WORKING :
Inside a lead storage battery is a series of plates. Half of the plates are made of lead dioxide and the other half are made of a spongy form of lead. The plates are bathed in a solution of sulfuric acid which serves as an electrolyte (a chemical solution that conducts electricity). Two posts extend to the outside of the battery through sealed openings in the battery wall. One of the posts---the negative post---is connected to the lead plates, and the other---the positive post---to the lead dioxide plates.
Sulfuric acid, chemically, is composed of two hydrogen atoms, a sulfur atom and four oxygen atoms. Inside the battery, the sulfuric acid molecules are in solution with water and so are dissociated. This means that the sulfur atom with the four oxygen atoms attached to it are in the water, separated from the hydrogen atoms. The sulfur with the four oxygen atoms is called a sulfate ion and has a double negative charge. The free hydrogen atom is called a hydrogen ion and has a positive charge. (An ion is simply an atom or a molecule with a positive or negative charge.)
The battery performs its function through a series of chemical reactions involving these ions. In the condition described in the introductory paragraph, the battery is charged and has the capacity to supply an electric current through cables connected to the two posts. As the battery supplies electric current, the sulfuric acid reacts by giving up its sulfate ions to the lead and lead dioxide plates. This forms lead sulfate that deposits on the plates. While this process occurs, the sulfuric acid concentration is decreasing, and the battery is discharging.
Supplying an electric current to the battery rather than drawing it out---such as what happens in an automobile when the engine is running---reverses the chemical reaction and the battery recharges. When recharging, the lead and lead dioxide plates give up sulfate ions to the electrolyte solution. This restores the amount of sulfuric acid in the electrolyte solution and restores the lead and lead dioxide plates to their charged condition.
In middle school terms what is the schrodingers cat experiment?
"Schroedinger's Cat" is a Gedankenexperiment (German for "no funding available"*).
It runs something like this:
Suppose we have a box we cannot see through. Inside that box we place a cat, and a device containing a cyanide generator and a radioactive sample. The cyanide generator will be triggered if the sample emits radiation. We now seal the box and wait.
There is some chance that an atom in the sample will decay. Since we're doing this all in our imagination, we'll suppose that we have carefully chosen the material and the sample size so that there's a 50/50 chance that an atom will decay in one hour.
Schroedinger points out that, after one hour, the box contains a quantum superposition of states. That's a fancy term for saying that the cat inside is neither dead, nor alive, but half of each, kind of "smeared" into each other.
This was intended as a scathing criticism of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, which basically says that that a superposition of states only collapses into a definite state when it is actually observed (per Schroedinger, when the box is opened and we see either a 100% living or 100% dead cat).
A scientist named Wigner pointed out that this is not really a valid criticism using a different thought experiment usually called "Wigner's Friend". Wigner basically said let's get a bigger box and put a person in it instead. From our point of view (outside the box), there may be an uncollapsed "superposition of states", but to our friend (inside the box) there's no such thing: either he's alive or he's dead.
More to the point, the trigger that either starts the cyanide generator or does not can be counted as an "observer" in the Copenhagen interpretation. The real criticism of the (original) Copenhagen interpretation is that it doesn't define what the word "observe" means clearly enough.
* Actually, it means "thought experiment."

How would you do a School Project on Mt Rushmore?
First, I would scan a picture of the monument and then I would head over to US Toy in Garden Grove, because they carry all sorts of air dry clay, paper mache, and a number of diarama materials. I would then decide how to proceed once I find the materials I want to work with - I might choose to paint it.
Does light effect the rate at which foods spoil?
Almost all foods are exposed to light from natural and/or artificial sources. The exposure of foods to light can result in the photodegradation (or spoilage) of these products. This photodegradation usually occurs in food constituents, such as pigments, fats, proteins, and vitamins and results in discoloration, off-flavor development, and vitamin losses. The light that is absorbed by the food can cause deteriorative reactions of the food constituents. In most solid foods, the light only penetrates the outer layer of the product and photodegradation occurs in this surface layer. Discoloration on the surface of foods can certainly affect consumer acceptance of these products. In liquid foods, light penetration can be greater and with mixing of the products due to agitation, larger portions of food constituents may be deteriorated. The light sensitivity of a food depends on many factors including the: light source strength and type of light that it emits; distance of the light source form the food; length of exposure optical properties of the packaging materials; oxygen concentration of the food; and the temperature. The information found in this backgrounder was adapted from a series of fact sheets developed by Dr. Robert Gravani, Cornell University

How do you make a qualitative experiment?
A qualitative experiment is one where you determine WHAT happens, as opposed to a quantitative experiment where you measure how much of something happens.
Why does an apple have more voltage than a potato?
As the current is generated by the electron flow generated by the phosphoric acid in the potato reacting with the zinc and copper electrodes, I would assume that the apple has a lower pH, generating a more vigorous reaction and causing a higher current. Assuming the resistance is constant, and using Ohms law, the higher current would result in a higher voltage.

How can you do a project on the analysis of vegetable and fruit juices?
A simple project you could do is to find the acidity of vegetable and fruits juices. You could do the project using juices that are available in stores, but they usually have added ingredients. If you want juices that are fresh and have no added ingredients, you could juice the fruits and vegetables yourself using a juicer. This would also work if you want to do a project on how much juice you could get out of a certain amount of each vegetable and fruit or how many of each you need to use to get a certain amount of juice. Another idea would be to do a comparison of the nutrients in each type of vegetable and fruit. For that, you could do research on the Internet or in the library. There are limitless other projects you could do.
My sixth Grade Sciene Fair Choice...Which Is Fun Can Baking Soda And Vinegar Pop A Balloon?
You're going to have to do better than that. By the time you are in 6th grade science, you should already know mixing baking soda and vinegar will produce carbon dioxide gas, but it won't produce enough gas pressure to pop the balloon. I have been a science fair judge, and the first question I asked myself when I read the papers the students wrote was, "did this student learn anything new?" If I were to judge your project the way you wrote it, I would think to myself, "this student did an experiment he already knew the results of, so he did not learn anything new." It won't pop the balloon unless you got hold of a really bad batch of balloons, but it will blow it up and you can do quite a few fun experiments, where you WILL learn something new, with baking soda, vinegar and balloons. Start with buying a big box of baking soda, a gallon of vinegar and a bag of balloons that are the same. Next, make a measuring gauge--if you got 12-inch balloons, cut a hole 30cm in diameter in a piece of cardboard. Then inflate balloons in different ways, and time how long it takes them to be 30cm in diameter. You could... * vary the amount of baking soda * dilute the vinegar * use vinegar at different temperatures * use different amounts of vinegar * inflate a balloon that's been in the freezer all night, one that's been at room temperature and one you warmed up in a sink of hot water, to see if the different temperature makes the rubber more or less pliable * use different acids, like maybe vinegar, orange juice and lemon juice * stretch one balloon before blowing it up to see if that really does anything
How do they come up with the coming tornado name?
Tornadoes are not given formal names.
Some tornadoes are informally for where they hit however, but they are never named in advance.
Is energy an example of matter?
It is more like Matter is an example of Energy. Albert Einstien's most famous equation, E = mc2, is simply saying that all Matter is just a condensed form of energy. Where E is energy, m is mass, and c is the speed of light in a vacuum. The formula is dimensionally consistent and does not depend on any specific system of measurement units. The equation E = mc2 indicates that energy always exhibits relativistic mass in whatever form the energy takes. Mass-energy equivalence does not imply that mass may be "converted" to energy, but it allows for matter to be converted to energy. Through all such conversions, mass remains conserved, since it is a property of matter and any type of energy. In physics, mass must be differentiated from matter. Matter, when seen as certain types of particles, can be created and destroyed (as in particle annihilation or creation), but the system of precursors and products of such reactions, as a whole, retain both the original mass and energy, with each of these system properties remaining unchanged (conserved) throughout the process. Simplified, this means that the total amount of energy (E) before the experiment is equal to the amount of energy after the experiment. Letting the m in E = mc2 stand for a quantity of "matter" (rather than mass) may lead to incorrect results, depending on which of several varying definitions of "matter" are chosen.
