An experiment by FACUNDO LOPEZ MENTOS GEYSER CARBONATED DRINKS AND MENTOS PROBLEM STATEMENT: WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF MENTOS ON CARBONATED DRINKS? BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The soda contain sweeteners (sugar or artificial sweeteners) flavoring‚ water and preservatives. Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas is added to the soda trough a high pressure process that causes the gas to dissolve into the liquid‚ when the soda is opened the gas is relieved

A minimum wage is introduced into an experimental labor market characterized by gift exchange. In the experiment‚ subjects are randomly divided into two groups‚ including manager group and employees group‚ with ten subjects in each group. In all periods each manager was matched anonymously with one employee no more than twice and never re-matched in two consecutive periods. In each period‚ the manager makes an individual wage offer to his matched employee and wage offers were written directly on

In the first experiment‚ the bacteria R. fascians and R. corynebacterioides grew equally well in all conditions of light‚ except ultraviolet light. We tested this by comparing the petri dishes to the petri dishes that grew without light. Here‚ the exposure time was constant for all the lights and no light‚ which is 48 hours. The light sources were different. However‚ none of the lights had an effect on the bacteria‚ for the bacteria just continued to grow normally. The only exception was that UV

Aim To find out how the permeability of a beetroot membrane cell is affected by ethanol. To do this we will investigate different concentrations of alcohol (10-70%) and measure the absorbance using a colorimeter to show us how much juice has leaked out. Hypothesis I predict that as the concentration of ethanol goes up‚ the permeability will increase as the ethanol will slowly dissolve more phospholipids (lipid bilayer) and so more anthocyanin (the beetroot juice) will leak out of the membrane

1. What police procedures are used during arrests‚ and how do these procedures lead people to feel confused‚ fearful‚ and dehumanized? The police used the art of surprise coupled with a lack of information during arrests. The shock of the abruptness of the arrests‚ public embarrassment‚ as well as being arrested at random times (especially in broad daylight) could all be labeled as contributing factors that would lead the people to feel confused‚ fearful and dehumanized. The behavior of the “prison

AIM: To carry out a lab experiment to decompose a carbonate using heat‚ also to carry out appropriate tests for the formation of products as a result of this decomposition. DISSCUSION: Carbonates are decomposed by heat into the corresponding oxides and carbon dioxide. The temperature of decomposition depends upon the activity of the metal; that is to say‚ the more active the metal‚ the more stable is the carbonate. Thus‚ the carbonates of sodium and potassium are stable at the highest temperature

Factors that affect the rate of fermentation are the nutrient availability and the concentration of that nutrient. In the Barfing Bag experiment‚ our control group which was granulated sugar worked the best against splenda‚ artificial‚ and stevia which a sugar substitute that comes from a plant and has 0 calories. In the barfing bag experiment we had three bags with yeast and then we added different types of sugars to test which type of sugar creates the most carbon dioxide or which bag inflates

EXPERIMENT 5 TRANSVERSE STANDING WAVES A string attached to a turning fork is set vibrating at the same frequency as the tuning fork. The length and tension in the string are adjusted until standing waves are observed on the string. By knowing the tension in the string and the wavelength of the standing waves‚ the frequency of oscillation of the string and thus‚ the tuning fork is found. This value is then compared to a strobelight determination of the frequency. THEORY
