Examination of Water and Wastewater 5210 BIOCHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND (BOD)*#(1) 5220 CHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND (COD)*#(2) 5220 A. Introduction Chemical oxygen demand (COD) is defined as the amount of a specified oxidant that reacts with the sample under controlled conditions. The quantity of oxidant consumed is expressed in terms of its oxygen equivalence. Because of its unique chemical properties‚ the dichromate ion (Cr2O72–) is the specified oxidant in Methods Section 5220B‚ Section

The research proposed suggest that breast-fed babies are more intelligent than formula-fed babies. The independent variable is if a child was breast-fed or not. The dependent variable is the child’s IQ based on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS). Other important concepts to be understood is that this was a study and not an experiment‚ so the data could be skewed because it is based on the mothers self-reports of how much the child was breast-fed at the one-year examination. Sample of

learned before on how to determine the empirical formula of a compound based on the test and also chemical analysis on it. Hence this experiment is mainly goes around with how to determine the empirical formula of Magnesium Oxide following various tight procedures in order to get the knowledge and apply it onto another compounds. We are investigating the empirical formula of Magnesium Oxide in this experiment. RESEARCH QUESTION: How empirical formula of Magnesium Oxide is obtained by heating Magnesium

The milgram experiment. The three people involved were: the one running the experiment‚ the subject of the experiment a volunteer‚ and a person pretending to be a volunteer. These three persons fill three distinct roles: the Experimenter an authoritative role‚ the Teacher a role intended to obey the orders of the Experimenter‚ and the Learner the recipient of stimulus from the Teacher. The subject and the actor both drew slips of paper to determine their roles‚ but unknown to the subject‚ both slips

Objective: In this experiment‚ we will determine if the naphthalene can be dissolve in water or not. And what will happen in the filter paper if we stick it in the funnel and let it absorbed the fumes in the boiling water with powdered naphthalene. Materials: Evaporating dish Spatula Watch Glass Filter paper Tripod Mortar and pestle Alcohol Lamp Funnel Beaker Data: Naphthalene 1. white crystalline compound 2. has a strong odor 3. round shape 4. it weighs .23g

The effect of varying temperature on thee Rennin enzyme Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to see what affect different temperate had on the reaction rate of the enzyme rennin. The experiment was performed by placing test tubes filled with renin and milk into water bath which was heated or cooled to one of the temperatures trialed. The hypothesis justified because it found because it though data that the enzyme reacted faster with the 45° temperate because it was

Lab 4: Physical & Chemical Properties Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to distinguish if different substances react to heat or cold and if a solution is added to it during the experiment will it change the substance or leave it the same. Throughout the different tests each substance is put through a series of tests to determine if it changes in any way in regards to color‚ odor‚ or consistency from the start of the experiment. The results will be documented in table 1. Data Table 1: Solubility

EXPERIMENT 201: WORK‚ ENERGY AND POWER John Michael A. Ramos‚ Phy11l/A5 Abstract The essential conditions to be satisfied for work to be done are: Some force must act on the object. The point of application of force must move in the direction of force. W = F x s. SI unit of work is joule. Energy is the capacity to do work. The two types of mechanical energy are kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion. Potential energy is

Physical and Chemical Changes Say you are presented with two beakers‚ beaker A and beaker B‚ each containing a white‚ powdery compound. * a. From your initial observations‚ you suspect that the two beakers contain the same compound. Describe‚ in general terms‚ some experiments in a laboratory that you could do to help prove or disprove that the beakers contain the same compound. You may try some of the followings: * Dissolving in water * Dissolving in different chemical solution

Experiment #17 Classification of Chemical Substances Prepared for: Dr. Robert O’Reilly By: Kudaibergenov Baizak 20.11.2013 Nazarbayev University Introduction While many thousands of substances are known‚ they can be classified into a few simple categories based on type of bonding that exists among the atoms in the substance. Bonds are chemical forces that hold atoms together to form molecules or compounds. These categories are ionic‚ molecular and metallic substances.
