Heating Zinc Oxide

Zinc Oxide Experiment :

 Aim

- What change happens when we heat Zinc Oxide?

Equipment

- Bunsen Burner, Heat Mat, Tripod, Safety Glasses, Crucible, Crucible Holder, and Zinc Oxide.

Results

- When the heat was added, the Zinc Oxide slowly turned yellow and when we turned off the heat, the Zinc Oxide gradually turned to its original white state.

Discussion

- As the Zinc Oxide Gets heated, Oxigen will be reduced which causes the electrons within the Zinc Oxide to move between levels and as a result turning it into a different colour. When heat is then removed, Oxygen will then gradually be added to the Zinc Oxide which will convert it back to its original state. 

Cyber Safety

Cyber Safety/Cyber Security

Cybersecurity is what minimizes crime and harm in the virtual world.

Passwords

- Having a secure password will protect any of your private information but when your password consists of numbers that are up to one to the thousands, computers will easily detect or find what your passwords are in less than a second, this is why most websites that ask for you to make a password to include 8 or more characters and even that is fairly easy for a computer to solve, so it is recommended that using uppercase letters including numbers.
