Abstract This laboratory involved utilizing equipment to dilute a sugar water solution. It also created solutions containing varying levels of concentrations and densities. Equations were used to figure the molecular weight of the sugar‚ and the number of moles of sugar in the volumetric flask. There was also an equation to figure the Molarity‚ as well. As a result of the experiment‚ I now have a better understanding of the density of a concentration‚ and what Molarity is . Observations Data

Applied Mathematics 1 Trigonometric Ratios with solutions O A O cos θ = tan θ = H H A where O = opposite‚ A = adjacent and H = hypotenuse. sin θ = 1. The angle of elevation of the top of a tree from a point on the ground 10m from the base of the tree is 28◦ . What is the height of the tree? Solution We need to find the height of tree which is opposite an angle of 28◦ .Thus O tan θ = A O = A tan θ height of tree = 10 × tan 28◦ =⇒ height of tree = 5.3m 1d.p. 2. Using a surveying

Lactated Ringer’s Solution Lactated Ringer’s classified as an isotonic or crystalloid solution‚ has similar osmolarity to body fluids‚ meaning that it maintains fluid volumes in balance between the space inside and outside the blood vessels. Lactated Ringer’s contains electrolytes‚ substances necessary for cells to function. It’s intended for intravenous administration‚ but if a suitable vein cannot be found it can be given orally which has an unpleasant taste. It is made up of NaCl (sodium chloride)
