Good habits

Calculating the solubility of Pb(I03)2 in distilled water is a straightforward problem since the dissolution of the solid is the only source of Pb + or lOa. How is the solubility of Pb(I03)2 affected if we add Pb(I03)2 to a solution of 0.10 M Pb(N03)2 Before we set up and solve the problem algebraically, think about the chemistry occurring in this system, and decide whether the solubility of Pb(I03)2 will increase, decrease, or remain the same. This is a good habit to develop. Knowing what answers are reasonable will help you spot errors in your calculations and give you more confidence that your solution to a problem is correct. 

A note on good practice A good habit to adopt is to check the answer by substituting the equilibrium composition into the expression for K. 

Note that the coefficient associated with the pole at -1 is zero. That is because it is canceled by the zero at -1. In other words, the (s+1) terms cancel out. It is nice to know that the program can do this all by itself. We do not need to know the roots to use residue (), but it is a good habit to get a better idea what we are working with. 

HERE ARE SOME good habits to start as you draft. 

Write the number in standard scientific notation Standard notation isn t required, but it is a good habit to acquire... 

Maintain good habits of nutrition, rest, and exercise. Remember that stimulants force your body to give up its stores of chemical energy. Whenever you use stimulants, especially if you take them with any regularity, it is important to let your body recharge itself. The healthier you are, the less you will feel you need outside stimulation. 

If you drink regularly make sure you maintain good habits of rest, exercise, and nutrition. In particular, take supplemental vitamin B-1 (thiamine), 100 milligrams a day on days that you drink. Alcohol selectively destroys this vitamin. 

It is a good habit to keep a record of sources consulted in any library search this is particularly useful if you meet trouble and ask for help. However, such a report is chiefly for your own use and need not be handed in. Reference is to be made to it in reports only when the assigned information cannot be found then you should list the sources searched in vain. 

After data acquisition has been completed, it is a good habit to save the NMR data in the operator s disk space. In this way, the original data are safe (especially after long accumulations such as overnight or overweekend runs) from a power failure, accidental deletion, or simply forgetting to save the data after a workup (it happens). 

One of the main objectives of this book is to enhance your problem-solving skills. If you can form good habits of problem solving early in your career, you will save considerable time and avoid many frustrations in all aspects of your work, in and out of school. Being able to solve material and energy balances means that in addition to learning basic principles, formulas, laws, and so on, you must be able to apply them. Routine substitution of data into an appropriate equation wUl by no... 

Incidentally, at this point you may recall from your high school days a rule about always expressing your thesis in one sentence. Writing teachers often insist on this rule to help you avoid the double-assertion problem just illustrated. Although not all essays have one-sentence theses, many do, and it s a good habit to strive for in this early stage of your writing. 

Green drinks are a fast and simple way to restore your body s pH balance. Drinking them is a good habit on a daily basis, and is even more important on days when you ve fallen off the wagon and eaten a more acidic diet. Adda scoop of unsweetened green powder to 4 cups of water and drink on an empty stomach. 

Most personal errors can be minimized by care and self-discipline. It is a good habit to check instrument readings, notebook entries, and calculations systematically. Errors due to limitations of the experimenter can usually be avoided by carefully choosing the analytical method. 

After you clean the board, be sure not to touch the copper surface with your fingers as this will leave minute traces of oils and dirt that can interfere with the processes of image transfer, plating, and the electrical performance of the surface. A good habit for working with copper clad is to wear clean thin cotton gloves to protect the surface of the board while you handle it. 

It is a good habit to eliminate the fraction by multiplying all the coefficients by the denominator of the fraction, in this case 2. (Some instructors consider fractional coefficients to be incorrect, so check with your instructor to find out if you will be allowed to leave them in your final answer.)... 

You will be expected to be able to write formulas and names for the binary acids found on Table 5.2. Remember that it is a good habit to write aq) after the formula. 

Developing and practicing good habits of hygiene and housekeeping... 

Several features of secondary nucleation inake it more important thiin primaiy nucleation in industrial crystallizers. First, continuous crystallizers and seeded batch crystallizers have crystals in the magma that can participate in secondary nucleation mechanisms. Second, the requirements for the mechanisms of secondary nucleation to be operative are fulfilled easily in most industrial crystallizers. Finally, most ciystallizm are operand in a low supeisaturation regime so that crystal growth is regular and the resulting product is pure and of good habit low supeisaturation can support secondary nucleation but not primaiy nucleation. 

Several electrodes of differing selectivity are commercially available at present for measurements of most common ions. Preliminary information may be obtained on the basis of tabulated values of the selectivity coefficients nevertheless, it must be remembered that their values depend on the method of determination, on the manner in which the electrodes are maintained, and on the life of the electrode. Therefore it is a good habit to check the selectivity under standard conditions. After long periods of use the selectivity of the electrode may also change, giving rise to erratic results. For reliable measurements the potentiometric selectivity coefficient should not be greater than 10 for ions of the same charge and for comparable concentration levels of the analyte and interferent. 

Virtue ethics places less emphasis on learning rules, and instead stresses the importance of developing good habits of character. Historically, virtue theory is one of the oldest normative traditions in Western philosophy, having its roots in ancient Greek civilization. Plato emphasized four virtues in particular, which were later called cardinal virtues, wisdom, courage, temperance and justice. 

Nuclear criticality safety training is a vital part of a total safety program. Good habits and positive thinking yield proper behavior. Proper behavior strengthens a good nuclear safety program. 

It is a good habit to check the ROI using the mappings of different ions. For example, checking the ROI using the Si mapping can tell if the ROI enclose any substrate area.
