The team has been researching desktop video conferencing technology for a report due to their client on March 1st. Each member was assigned tasks to research different areas and write sections. They have completed a rough draft by combining their individual sections. Remaining tasks include interviewing software users, obtaining product specifications, fine-tuning the draft, and utilizing the writing center. Their progress is on schedule but integrating the individual sections poses a challenge they will address through careful editing. An update will be provided by February 24th.

INFORMAL LETTER
February 21, 2016
Dear Dianne,
It was lovely to hear from you, and this time you had some
interesting things to tell me. I can understand about your
parents worryingabout you travellingaround the world but you
will be pleased to hear that I think you have made the right
decision. Now is the good time for you to travel.
However, I am not sure that you have thought carefully about
what travelling involves. No doubt that is why you are asking
me for an advice! You imply in your letter that you are going to
travel alone. Have thought about travelling with someone else?
Having a companion can make things a lot more easier – and
safer. Also, why not live, and work, in one country instead of
keeping on the move all the time? Staying in one place means
you can make more friends and get to know a differentlanguage
and culture much better and if you have a job, you will always
have some moneyto live on. Your parents would be happierwith
that because they would know where to contact you. If you are
constantly travelling, they won’t know where you are. This is a
possible compromise that you must consider.
Globetrotting is very exciting – I wish I were going with you! On
the other hand, there are serious dangers. I have just heard
from another friend who have been robbed of everything except
for the clothes he is wearing, just because he fell asleep on a
long-distance coach journey. Keep in touch!
Sincerely,
Darlene

LABORATORY REPORT
“Using Colorimeter to Determine the Effect of Concentration on the Rate
of Reaction”
Introduction:
When a light passes through a solution in a tube, electrons absorb light. The
intensity of the light emitted through the tube will be less than the light absorbed.
Copper II powder reacts with hydrochloric acid according to the equation:
Cu(s) + 2HCl(aq) → CuCl2(s) + H2(g)
When the reaction takes place, copper II chloride and hydrogengas are produced.
The concentration of hydrochloric acid decreases. Colorimeter is used to
determine the rate of reaction by measuring the absorbance of a monochromatic
light by the solution that contains excesscopper II and hydrochloric acid. When
the absorbance of light is obtained, the rate of reaction can be determined.
Research question:
How do different concentrationsof 5cm3 hydrochloric acid that react with 20g of
copper II powder affect the rate of reaction?
Variables:
 Independent variables:
- The concentration of hydrochloric acid.
 Dependent variables:
- The absorbance of light during three minutes.
 Controlled variables:
- Temperature of the solution must be kept constant so I will use a
thermometer of check the temperature of the solution and keep it
constant.
- Volume of the solution must be kept constant. So I will use the same
volume of hydrochloric acid and the same mass of copper II.
- Time should be the same so that I can compare the absorbance of
light between different concentrations.
- Intensity of the monochromatic light should be kept the same.
Apparatus:
 Electronic balance to 0.01g.
 Five test tubes for different solutions of hydrochloric acid (of different
concentrations).
 Colorimeter to measure the absorbance of light.
 Two temperature sensors
 Five containers, each one contains 20g of Copper II powder
 Five different solutions of hydrochloric acid of these different
concentrations:
0.25𝑚𝑜𝑙 𝑑𝑚−3 ; 0.50𝑚𝑜𝑙 𝑑𝑚−3 ; 0.75𝑚𝑜𝑙 𝑑𝑚−3 ; 1.25𝑚𝑜𝑙 𝑑𝑚−3 ;1.50𝑚𝑜𝑙 𝑑𝑚3

Design of the experiment:
The picture below shows how the colorimeter works:
The picture below shows a real colorimeter:
Method:
 Set up the experiment shown in the design above.
 Put 20g of copper II powder in the tube of the colorimeter.
 Set the colorimeter on with the monochromatic light.
 Put one temperature sensor inside the tube that contains copper II to
control temperature of the solution later.
 Put the other temperature sensor in the room to keep room temperature
under control.
 Add 5cm3 of hydrochloric acid to the copper II.
 Take the results of the absorbance of light.
 Propagate the graphs and calculate the order of reaction.
 Repeat the experiment using another concentration and then find the
order of reaction.
 Compare the results and find out how does the concentration affects the
order of reaction.
Developing a method for collection of data:
I will repeat the experiment three time for five different concentrations so that I
can get enough data that can be used to find out the effect of concentration on
the rate of reaction.

FIELD REPORT
Visit to the Computer Center
Asia Pacific College
Malolos, Bulacan
By means of a telephone, I made an appointment with Engr. Apple Mutuc, the
Director of the Computer Center of the Asia Pacific College. The meeting was set last
January 16, 2016 at 3:00 pm. The purpose of the visit was to observe the equipment
and their operations as well as to discuss the qualifications needed to get a job at the
Center system and to observe and take part in operating one of the computers.
Qualifications
Through the discussion I had with Engr. Mutuc, I learned that for one to get a job at
the Computer Center, a person must have a background in Computer specifically
data processing. The more experienced a person is in data processing, the better the
chances are of getting at the Center.
Beginning Positions
A new employee with no data processing work experience would probably start at the
Computer Center with a job in keypunch. This job involves the punching of data on
to cards that are run through the computer. Very often this job includes a lot of
night work, especially for the beginner. As an employee masters certain skills, the
chances for a higher position in the center increases. The new employee with
experience or specialized training can move into responsible high-paying positions
within a few months.
Observation of Equipment and Operations
The Computer Center has such a large load of work that it is equipped with two IBM
systems, three computers with model types XT, 286 and 386. Different offices and
departments of Asia Pacific College bring in raw data which are programmed and
processed by the computers and the results are returned to the different offices.
Conclusions and Recommendations
My visit to the Computer Center was very interesting and worthwhile. Engineer
Mutuc encouraged me to continue my education in data processing and to get much
out of the course as I could because that knowledge would help me to get a good job
and to advance. He asked me to be sure to apply for a ready employment at the
Computer Center when I completed my college studies.
I would recommended that anyone interested in data processing visit a company
using computer and observe its operation. The visit led me to feel secure in the belief
that there is a very bright future for me in the field of data processing – if I get good
training.
