Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called James Fogal. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name James Fogal~enwikibooks that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Applied Science BTEC Nationals/Chemical Laboratory Techniques/Iron oxalate

The experimental details given here are given in good faith and are believed to be safe and workable methods. However, the authors cannot take responsibility for the consequences of performing these experiments.

The experiments are written for experienced science teaching staff to use as instructions for a supervised class of students. The experiments are not designed for students or inexperienced members of the public to perform without supervision. If you wish to attempt the experiments, ensure that you have completed a legally adequate risk assessment beforehand and that you work within the constraints of the risk assessment.

All ethanedioates are toxic. Wear gloves when handling these compounds. Put surplus ethanedioate in the beaker provided. Disposal of ethanedioate is achieved by adding acidified potassium manganate (VII) and warm water, and then running to waste with a large volume of water.

Preparation of iron (II) ethanedioate
Propanone is highly flammable and should not used near sources of ignition.

When a solution containing Fe+2 ions is treated with a slight excess of a solution containing ethanedioate ions (C2O4-2, otherwise known as oxalate ions), a bright yellow solid is precipitated. This compound is iron (II) ethanedioate hydrate, FeC2O4 • 2 H2O.

Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2 (aq) + Na2C2O4 (aq) + 2 H2O (l) →

FeC2O4 • 2 H2O (s) + (NH4)2SO4 (aq) + Na2SO4 (aq)

1.	To 50.0 cm3 of 0.200 mol dm-3 iron (II) ammonium sulphate (Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2) add a slight excessa of 0.2 mol dm-3 sodium ethanedioate solution, with steady stirring.

2.	Allow the solid precipitated to settle and test the supernatant liquid to check that precipitation is completeb.

3.	Vacuum-filter the precipitate, wash with a little propanonec, and suck as dry as possible at the pump.

4.	Carefully dry the precipitate at 100 C and then weigh itd.

a What volume of sodium ethanedioate should you use for a slight excess?

b How can you test the precipitate to make sure that no more iron is left in the solution?

c Propanone boils at 56 C and is miscible with water in all proportions. Suggest why the solid precipitate is washed with propanone and why this is effective.

d How do you know that the sample is completely dry?

From the mass of your final sample, calculate the percentage yield.

Analysing The Iron (II) Ethanedioate Sample
Iron (II) ethanedioate is oxidised by potassium manganate (VII) at 70 oC to give a number of products:

6 KMnO4 + 10 FeC2O4 + 24 H2SO4 

6 MnSO4 + 20 CO2 + 24 H2O + 5 Fe2(SO4)3 + 3 K2SO4

This reaction can be used to titrate iron (II) ethanedioate to establish how many moles we have.

1.	Weigh your pure, dry sample of iron (II) ethanedioate.

2.	Precisely weigh three 0.2 g samples of iron (II) ethanedioate into three separate conical flasks.

3.	Record the mass of each sample.

4.	Add about 50 cm3 of 1 mol dm-3 (‘bench’) sulphuric acid to each sample flask.

5.	Warm to about 70 C.

6.	Titrate the warm samples with a burette filled with 0.02 mol dm-3 KMnO4.

It is important to maintain the temperature at above 70 oC to ensure that the ethanedioate ions react completely. Monitor the temperature and add boiling deionised water to the flask if necessary.

For each titration calculate:

1.	How many moles of KMnO4 were used (concentration x volume)

2.	How many moles (what amounts) of FeC2O4 were present (According to the balanced chemical equation, 6 moles of KMnO4 will react with 10 moles of FeC2O4).

3.	What is the molar mass of FeC2O4.xH2O (mass divided by amount)

43.	How many moles of water were present (the molar mass of FeC2O4 is 143.87 g mol-1 and the molar mass of one mole of water is 18.02 g mol-1).

Evaluation: How close is your answer to the correct answer?

What errors can you identify? Can you quantify these errors?

The main error is probably related to the purity of your sample.

Calculate the percentage yield of iron (II) ethanedioate:

What mass of iron (II) ethanedioate did you make?

How many moles (what amount) of iron (II) ions are present in 50 cm3 of 0.2 mol dm-3 solution?

What is the mass of this amount of iron (II) ethanedioate?

Express the mass you made as a percentage of the theoretical mass. This is the percentage yield.

X-Plane Flight Simulator/Basic Piloting/Flight Instruments/Six Pack

Six primary flight instruments have become standard in any instrument panel and, since the early 1970's, these have been arranged in a certain, standard layout commonly referred to as the 'six pack'. They are laid out in two rows of three instruments each. The top row, left to right, contains the Airspeed Indicator (ASI), the Attitude Indicator (AI) and the Altimeter (Alt). The bottom row contains the Turn Coordinator (TC) the Directional Gyro (DG) and the Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI). A quick summary of these instruments follows:

The Airspeed Indicator (ASI)
The ASI indicates airspeed, or the speed at which the aircraft is traveling through the air. It is a differential pressure gauge that measures the dynamic pressure of the air through which the aircraft is flying. Dynamic pressure is the difference in the ambient static air pressure and the total, or ram, pressure caused by the motion of the aircraft through the air. These two pressures are taken from the pitot-static system. Beginning pilots need to remember that airspeed will include local wind and does not necessarily equate to ground speed. Throttle back a Cessna 150 in slow flight with a stiff head wind and you could be flying in one place or even backwards.

The Attitude Indicator (AI)
As discussed earlier, the AI informs the pilot of his or her attitude in space. This is accomplished by fixing the case of the instrument to the aircraft and measuring the displacement of the case with reference to a fixed gyroscope inside.

The Altimeter (ALT)
The altimeter looks somewhat like the face of a clock and relays to the pilot her or his altitude, measured by the expansion or contraction of a fixed amount of air, acting on some springs. As the airplane climbs or descends the relative air pressure outside the aircraft changes and the altimeter reports the difference between the outside air pressure and a reference, contained in a set of airtight bellows.

The Turn Coordinator (TC)
The TC relays the rate of turn for the aircraft. The instrument is only accurate when the turn is coordinated, that is that the airplane is not skidding or slipping through the turn. For a skid, imagine a car that is understeering, where the front wheels do not have enough traction to overcome the car's momentum and the front of the car is thus plowing through the turn, resulting in a turn radius that is larger than that commanded by the driver). A slip is a bit more difficult for you to imagine unless you're a pilot already.  This results from an aircraft that is banked too steeply for the rate of turn selected.  To correct the slip all the pilot has to do is increase back pressure on the yoke to pull the airplane 'up' into a tighter turn, such that the turn rate is in equilibrium with the bank angle.

The major limitation of the older turn-and-slip indicator is that it senses rotation only about the vertical axis of the aircraft. It tells nothing of the rotation around the longitudinal axis, which in normal flight occurs before the aircraft begins to turn. A turn coordinator operates on precession, the same as the turn indicator, but its gimbals frame is angled upward about 30° from the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. This allows it to sense both roll and yaw. Therefore during a turn, the indicator first shows the rate of banking and once stabilized, the turn rate. Some turn coordinator gyros are dual-powered and can be driven by either air or electricity. Rather than using a needle as an indicator, the gimbal moves a dial that is the rear view of a symbolic aircraft. The bezel of the instrument is marked to show wings-level flight and bank angles for a standard rate turn.

The Directional Gyro (DG)
A magnetic compass is a dependable instrument used as a backup instrument. Although very reliable, it has so many inherent errors that it has been supplemented with gyroscopic heading indicators.

The gyro in a heading indicator is mounted in a double gimbal, as in an attitude indicator, but its spin axis is horizontal permitting sensing of rotation about the vertical axis of the aircraft. Gyro heading indicators, with the exception of slaved gyro indicators, are not north seeking, therefore they must be manually set to the appropriate heading by referring to a magnetic compass. Rigidity causes them to maintain this heading indication, without the oscillation and other errors inherent in a magnetic compass.

The heading of the aircraft is shown against the nose of the symbolic aircraft on the instrument glass, which serves as the lubber line. A knob in the front of the instrument may be pushed in and turned to rotate the gyro and dial. The knob is spring loaded so it disengages from the gimbals as soon as it is released. This instrument should be checked about every 15 minutes to see if it agrees with the magnetic compass.

The Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI)
The VSI reports your climb or descent rate in feet per minute. Typically, non-pressurized airplanes will climb comfortably at about 700 fpm (if they can) and descend at about 500 fpm. Descent rates faster than this cause discomfort on the occupants which can be felt in your ears. Pressurized airplanes can climb and descend much more rapidly and still maintain the cabin rate of change at about these levels, since the cabin altitude is not related to the ambient altitude unless the pressurization system fails.

Suggested merge--your thoughts?
I saw the suggested merge between the human physiology and medical physiology textbooks and hoped to get your input on the matter. In what ways would you like the medical physiology textbook to be different than the existing human physiology textbook? I am open to changing the human physiology textbook to be more rigorous or to have more emphasis on medical applications. If you think your goals could be reached by modifying the existing textbook then I would be happy to collaborate with you on such a project. I look forward to hearing from you.

Latin/Lesson 1-Imperatives

Imperatives express direct commands, requests, and prohibitions. For example: run!, don't walk, be carried.

singular
For the singular imperative, the infinitive of the verb without the -re is used.

plural
Plural active imperatives for the 1st, 2nd and 4th conjugation are formed by removing the -re from the end of the verb and adding -te. In the 3rd conjugation, -ere is removed from the infinitive and -ite is added.

Happiness/Work

Unless you are planning to raise a child, it is likely that you will spend 40 hours a week doing some sort of paid work. As a result, choosing a profession can be as important of a decision as choosing a spouse.

When college students decide on a major, a common question is, "Should I choose the major that will make more money, or choose the one I enjoy most?"

There is no simple answer to this question. Some students have financial constraints, and need to pay off debts and support their families. For them, a good paying job is essential. Other people enjoy making money, so their answer to the question would be, "both."

Happiness/Pets

Humans have an unusual relationship with animals - we have domesticated many species of them, and interact with them almost as if they were our children.

Owning a pet can teach children responsibility, and help elderly people stay healthy. Dogs can also help people people maintain a consistent exercise schedule.

See what Wikipedia says about the health benefits of pets.

Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN codes)/World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI)

World Manufacturer Identifier
The first three characters uniquely identify the manufacturer of the vehicle using the World Manufacturer Identifier or WMI code. A manufacturer that builds fewer than 1000 vehicles per year uses a 9 as the third digit and the 12th, 13th and 14th position of the VIN for a second part of the identification. Some manufacturers use the third character as a code for a vehicle category (e.g., bus or truck), a division within a manufacturer, or both. For example, within 1G (assigned to General Motors in the United States), 1G1 represents Chevrolet passenger cars; 1G2, Pontiac passenger cars; and 1GC, Chevrolet trucks.

WMI Regions
The first character of the WMI is the region in which the manufacturer is located. In practice, each is assigned to a country of manufacture. Common auto-manufacturing countries are noted.

List of Many WMIs
The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) in the US assigns WMIs to countries and manufacturers. The following table contains a list of mainly commonly used WMIs, although there are many others assigned.

Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN codes)/Ford/VIN Codes

Ford Motor Company uses the following VIN formats and codes.

American VIN format
Ford does not directly encode the platform name in the VIN, although much other information is included there. Instead, the company uses a series number to identify a vehicle type. Ford's VIN format is as follows:

American restraint types
The restraint type is specified as character four of the American Ford VIN for passenger cars.

American GVWR codes 1981-1997
The GVWR class and brake type is specified as character four of the American Ford VIN for light trucks.

Passenger Car Identifiers
The passenger car Identifier is specified in position five of the American Ford VIN for passenger cars.

Passenger Cars, Light Trucks, & Multi-Purpose Passenger Vehicles
The model type is specified in positions five through seven of the American Ford VIN. The first position specifies the model line or marque, the next is the series, the last is the vehicle type. The type often indicates the engine size, driven wheels, body style, and similar factors.

 * Note: Only US-built Mazda 6 models are shown here as they used a Ford-style VIN structure. Japanese-built Mazda 6 models ('06-'07 Mazdaspeed 6) are not shown here as they used a Mazda-style VIN structure.

GVWR=Gross Vehicle Weight Rating

Medium & Heavy Trucks & Buses
The model type is specified in positions five through seven of the American Ford VIN. The first position specifies the model line, the next is the series, the last is the vehicle type. The type often indicates the engine size, driven wheels, body style, and similar factors.

BBC=Bumper to Back of Cab

American engine codes
Ford encodes the engine type in character 8 of the VIN. The following table outlines the various engines encoded there:

Engine codes for passenger cars
CFI=Central Fuel Injection (Throttle-body Fuel Injection), EFI=Electronic Fuel Injection, SEFI=Sequential Multi-port Electronic Fuel Injection, H.O.=High Output, FFV=Flexible Fuel Vehicle, CNG=Compressed Natural Gas, PZEV=Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle, SPI=Split-port Induction (Variable-length intake manifold), VVT=Variable Valve Timing, VCT=Variable Cam Timing, Ti-VCT=Twin Independent Variable Cam Timing

Engine codes for light trucks
EFI=Electronic Fuel Injection, SEFI=Sequential Multi-port Electronic Fuel Injection, H.O.=High Output, FFV=Flexible Fuel Vehicle, CNG=Compressed Natural Gas, SPI=Split-port Induction (Variable-length intake manifold), VCT=Variable Cam Timing, Ti-VCT=Twin Independent Variable Cam Timing

Engine codes for commercial trucks
GFP=Gaseous Fuel Prep (Engine prepared for conversion to CNG or propane), CNG=Compressed Natural Gas, LPG=Liquefied Petroleum Gas (Propane Autogas)

North American Ford factories
See List of Ford factories IMMSA=Industrias Metalicas Monterrey SA

European factories
See List of Ford factories

Australian VIN format
Ford Australia have used the same basic system for chassis numbers on Australian assembled vehicles since the early 1960s. When Australia went to mandatory 17-digit VINs in 1989, the Ford chassis numbers became 17-digit VINs by the addition of 6FPAAA ahead of the original numbering system. With the exception of some L-series (Louisville) trucks fitted with other brands of engine, engine numbers match the VIN with the 6FPAAA omitted.

Australian platform origin
The platform code indicates the origin of the underlying platform on which the vehicle is built, even if the body was locally designed.

Australian production location

Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN codes)/GM/VIN Codes

It is the tenth digit that gives you the model year for GM. I've been working at a Chevy dealer for years running codes/vins. For example (my examples only apply to 2001-2015 gm vehicles) Remember 10th digit from the beginning, (left to right). 2001... 1 2002...2 2003...3 .etc . . 2009...9 After 09 the tenth digit was given a letter 2010... A 2011...B 2012...C 2013...D 2014...E 2015...F Etc... We have another 20 years worth of letters Thanks for reading. You can always check your model year by looking in your drivers side door jamb and it will give you model year. If it was assembled in July or later it's probably a model year later than listed.
