Can I easily replace a 5 Volt DC charger for my Creative Labs Zen Nomad?

I recently misplaced the power cord/adapter for my mp3 player and I’m going to be outta luck if I can’t find a replacement soon. I did a Google search and couldn’t find any solutions, so I estimate I’ll be lurking around at Radio Shacks and Best Buys this week…I’d like to avoid having to order a new charger from Creative Labs, especially if I can find a cheaper deal. Any thoughts?
PS – I reckon 5 volt DC adapters may be honestly simple to find…if this is the case, is there any reason it would be harmful to use one not manufactured by Creative Labs? 5 volts is 5 volts, right?

I would go right to ebay, It never fails me. if that doesn’t work, contact creative via creative.com

For my chemistry class, we are supposed to come up with a lab to investigate an ice cube. I’m not very creative, and I can’t seem to find an fascinating lab on google. Does anyone have any suggestions or fascinating labs that you have come crosswise on google? It should be more advanced than a middle school lab.
Thanks!

set up a chart and figure out each half hour how long it takes to melt and how long water takes to freeze in a freezer take the temperature and record it
theres not much u can do with an ice cube but if u really wanted to know wat i was thinking
i was thinking to toss an icecube off the empire state building and see how long it takes to go down record the mph and then see if it killed anyone on the way down
but i dont reckon u wanna try that lol

I’ll give you three and then you take what you like. How does that signal?

1. Ice is less dense than liquid water. Thus, let’s test it. Measure out 10 mL of water, and weigh it. Liquid water is approximately 1 gram per mL, so you should read 10 grams. Place this 10 grams of water in a cube-shaped or rectangular-prism shaped mold and freeze it. Once it it frozen, quickly take measurements before it melts and see if indeed the volume has increased. You should see that the volume increased, and, as long as mass stays the same, an increase in volume leads to a decrease in density.

2. This is not so much for an ice cub as it is for freezing point depressing, but it still works. Get an ice cube, some string, and some salt. House the string on the ice cube, and then sprinkle some salt on the part of the ice cube everywhere the string is. The salt should melt a bit of the ice, because the small layer of water on the outside dissolves the salt. The brine stays a liquid due to the freezing-point depressing effect of solutes in a solvent, such as salt in water. Though, the ice cube is still very cold. The salt water that was surrounding the string then freezes around the string, thus binding the string to the ice cube. You can then, after possibly 10 seconds of the salt being on the cube, lift the cube by the string.

3. In heating a substance, energy is pumped in to increase its temperature. But when it reaches the temperature of a period change, all energy goes into not increasing the temperature, but in changing period. Then it continues to upward temperature increase.

Test this by by a thermometer or temperature investigate in a beaker of very, very cold ice. (preferably numerous degrees or more colder than 0 Celsius). Once the beaker is over a bunsen burner, you should see the temperature of the ice increase. Though, once it starts to melt, upon reaching 0 Celsius, you should see that while the ice is turning into more and more water, and less and less ice, the temperature remains stable at 0 Celsius- it’s not increasing! Only when all the ice is melted does that temperature increase resume again.

This also applies in boiling, that the vapor-liquid mixture will stay at 100 Celsius in anticipation of all the liquid is turned into a vapor, with the vapor then increasing in temperature. But since you questioned for an ice cube, we’ll leave it at that.

During his talk at the first Tomorrow Awards conference, Executive Creative Director at Google Creative Labs, Robert Wong open Google’s “Parisian Like” ad, which first ran during the 2009 Superbowl. Wong used the spot as an example of how Google tries to exceed people’s expectations through a mix of bolt from the blue, empathy and creativity. We sat down with Wong after his talk to chat more about the tale of Google Creative Lab. For more, check out sparksheet.com
