October 19‚ 2012 Determining the current state of the business cycle Determining the current state of the business cycle Executive summary The purpose of this research report is to determine the current stage of the business cycle that the Canadian economy is experiencing. There are five stages in a business cycle – expansion‚ peak‚ contraction‚ trough‚ and recovery. These different cycles are characterized by the state and degree

Standardization and Titration of an Unknown Organic Acid Overview: Methods for counting the number of molecules in a sample is a major emphasis of laboratory work. In this experiment we will use the method of titration to count the number of acid molecules in a solution. Measuring mass is a relatively easy procedure to do in the lab (although a balance is expensive). Counting the number of particles requires more effort. Molecular counting can be done by setting an unknown amount of a substance equal to

to identify an unknown solution‚ based on the reactions (i.e. color changes) of known solutions with indicator solutions. These known solutions contained different types of macromolecules. Each type of micromolecule reacted with at least one indicator solution in a unique way‚ which allowed us to identify the macromolecule based upon the presence or absence of a color change. Water was also used as a control solution‚ as it showed a negative reaction with the indicator solutions. Seven sets

Solutions Solutions are a combination of solvents and solutes. When a solute dissolves into a solvent‚ the combined product of the two reactants is called a solution. The definition of a solute is the reactant that’s being dissolved. The only difference from a solute and a solvent is that the solvent is the one that’s doing the dissolving. Molecules randomly flow in all directions until there is an equal concentration throughout the solution. The dissolving process can vary depending

Effects of Temperature‚ pH‚ Enzyme Concentration‚ and Substrate Concentration on Enzymatic Activity INTRODUCTION Enzymes‚ proteins that act as catalysts‚ are the most important type of protein[1]. Catalysts speed up chemical reactions and can go without being used up or changed [3] Without enzymes‚ the biochemical reactions that take place will react too slowly to keep up with the metabolic needs and the life functions of organisms. Catecholase is a reaction between oxygen and catechol

has different concentrations on either side. Permeable means "allows anything to pass through". Membranes in cells allow small molecules (water) to pass through‚ but prevent bigger ones from passing. This is called "selectively permeable". Take a look at the following animation; If a selectively permeable membrane separates the two solutions‚ water moves through it in both directions at the same time. However‚ more water leaves a dilute solution (high water concentration) and passes into

during the Holocaust was the concentration camps. Many people were affected by the reality of what was happening in Germany. Within Germany‚ there were types of camps that people could be sent to: concentration camps‚ labor camps‚ extermination camps and prisoner-of-war camps. Concentration camps were the Nazis’ way of imprisoning the Jews‚ political antagonists and other people deemed socially unacceptable of the country. If these people were sentenced to a concentration camp and did not arrive

Concentration of liquid foods is a fundamental operation in many food processes; it is completely different from dehydration. Usually‚ foods‚ which are concentrated‚ remain in the liquid state; while drying produces solid or semisolid foods with significantly lower water content. The concentration of liquid foods has three different methods; evaporation‚ membrane concentration‚ and freeze concentration. Evaporation usages gas liquid phase separation. It has the lowest capital cost and the maximum
