In the video, you have seen
that after getting the
crucible from the oven, it is
placed in a desiccator first
before the mass is
measured. What is the
purpose of a desiccator?
What will happen if it's not
used and the mass is
measured right away? (Limit
your answer to TWO
sentences.)
Visit a home improvement center (hardware/lumber store) in your town, and try to gather information about various types of insulating materials that can be used in a house. Write a brief report discussing the advantages, disadvantages, and characteristics of various insulating materials, including their thermal characteristics in terms of R-value.
