The hypothesis was rejected in this experiment‚ based on the results. The results were much different than hypothesized before the experiment. It was hypothesized that the lower concentrations of CLR‚ Jar E and Jar D‚ would be healthier and more likely to reproduce than the higher concentrations of CLR‚ Jar B and C. However‚ as shown in the actual results‚ Jar E and D with the lower concentrations of CLR died quicker than Jar B and C. The CLR and water solutions acted as a fertilizer‚ so the greater

What essential characteristics distinguish a true experiment from other research designs? What ethical problems do you see in conducting experiments with humans? “Experiments are studies involving intervention by the researcher beyond that required for measurement.

Abstract An experiment is conducted to prepare soap and thus‚ to compare the properties of the prepared soap and synthetic detergents which are precipitation‚ emulsification and cleaning abilities. It can be concluded that soap has the properties if emulsifying oil whereas detergent has not. The abilities of forming precipitates can be seen clearly in soap solution whereas detergent forms no precipitates at all. The experiment is completed and successfully conducted. Introduction
