example the presence of salt greatly enhances the rusting of metals. This is due to the fact that the dissolved salt increases the conductivity of the aqueous solution formed at the surface of the metal and enhances the rate of electrochemical corrosion. This is one reason why iron or steel tend to corrode much more quickly when exposed to salt (such as that used to melt snow or ice on roads) or moist salty air near the ocean. [pic] salt will speed up rusting. The more salt you

Because the salt concentration of saltwater is really high compared to the cells in the lungs the water does not pass through and into the cells. The water is hypertonic so for the body to reach equilibrium with saltwater‚ water from the blood cells are sent out into the

Brains vs Metal For entertainment‚ humans often draw themselves to movies about huge robots looming over the whole city‚ trampling over skyscrapers and squashing puny humans underneath their cold‚ metal feet. Movies like this depict artificial intelligence to be “the end of the world.” While this someday towards the future might be true‚ robots do help us with some activities throughout the day. On the other hand‚ these robots do have many downsides to them. Ray Bradbury captures these downsides

Experiment 2: Estimation of protein concentration Introduction Protein assays are designed to measure the total protein in a solution. Protein assays are quantitative if the protein to be assayed is available in sufficient quantity such that one is able to use it to create a standard curve. If this cannot be achieved‚ then a standard protein‚ such as albumin‚ may be used for a standard curve with the understanding that the results on the unknown protein are semi-quantitative. Since most proteins
