Introduction Why: The goal of this experiment is to determine the water hardness of the prepared unknown water sample. Determining water hardness is a useful test that measures the quality of water for its household and industrial users. Water’s hardness arises from the presence of metal ions – specifically metal ions with a charge of +2 or higher. The ‘scum’ left over in a cleaned shower stall or coffee pot is equivalent to water hardness. Water dissolves salts which contains ions of sodium‚ magnesium‚

Lung cancer kills more people in one year than all criminal and accidental deaths combined. These statistics are shocking‚ but the good news is that people are now well-informed about the risks connected to lung cancer. They know that their risk of contracting this terrible disease decreases if they either stop smoking or do not smoke at all. Unfortunately‚ the same cannot be said about other types of cancer. Many people are not aware that their everyday behavior can lead to the development of these

the use of cell phones? According to scientific evidence cell phones may actually be more harmful than you think. I believe cell phones are dangerous to our health because they have been linked to causing tumors‚ can affect your eye health‚ and they also hold a lot of bacteria. Cell phones have more serious risks than they do benefits. Therefore it is better to limit how much you use your cell phone. It has been scientifically proven that you can actually get a tumor from the use of cell phones. These

Spectrophotometric Methods: The Determination of Iron The goal of this laboratory experiment was the quantitative spectrophotometric determination of Fe (II) by using a calibration plot‚ which obeyed the Beer-Lambert Law. In order to determine the Fe (II) concentration‚ a series of solutions of known concentrations were made. The solutions were analyzed by the Ocean Optics spectrophotometer in order to determine their absorbance. The concentration of the unknown Fe (II) was determined by the “eye-ball”

Bacterial cells are Prokaryotic cells. These cells have several internal structures and surface structures. The cell walls are of two types‚ gram positive and gram negative. Out of all the structures‚ the two selected structures are the cell- wall and endospores. The cell- wall of bacterial cells is found in three distinct shapes such as spherical‚ spiral and rod shaped. The cell wall of the bacterial cells is composed of the proteins and polysaccharides. This is collectively called peptidoglycan

characteristics of a healthy cell and a cancer cell is very different. Healthy cells stop reproducing when there are enough cells‚ however‚ cancer cells continue to reproduce. Due to this continued growth a tumor‚ which is a cluster of cancer cells‚ is formed. Cancer cells do not interact with other cells like the healthy cells. Healthy cells stop growing when they hear signals from the nearby cells‚ in contrast‚ cancer cells do not respond to these signals. When healthy cells get old or damaged they

Experiment no. 1 Determination of moisture content (standard method - oven drying method) 1.0 Introduction Every type of soil has its own percentage of moisture content. The void in soil content water and air. The moisture content may varies for each types of soil. Different type of soil has different moisture content. Moisture content of soil also may be affected by the climate where the high humidity country tend to have higher moisture content in soil. Size or structure of the

Ice Calorimeter Determination with Mg June 18th 2013 Abstract: This experiment determines the amount of energy needed to melt ice. A spontaneous increase in enthalpy produce by combining 0.2036g Mg and 5.00mL H₂SO₄‚ ice was melted and readings were taken by using an ice calorimeter. Readings were taken before during and after the reaction were completed. The data taken shows a value of -405 KJ/mol while the theoretical value was -483.7 KJ/mol. Calculating the experimental

a) Using a human cell of your choice‚ describe how organelles work together to make and secrete a protein (LO1. AC 1.1) An epithelial cell in the thyroid gland‚ called a thyrocyte forms spherical follicles that produce a protein called thyroglobulin. This is a globular protein that has a functional role in metabolism. The protein is used by the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones; thyroxine (T4) is an example of one of the hormones created. Thyroxine is formed by iodine binding to tyrosine
