I don’t think this experiment should be replicated today. The reason being is that the Generation we have today has a different mindset and that the experiment is unethical in my view. In 1961‚ Milgram was able to make the participants agree with the experiment. These results led to people trying out these trails because the participants knew the shock would be painful but not dangerous. With that being said‚ it shows you the mindset of the people during that time. People were laid back and were

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

Molarity of these samples was also calculated to determine concentration and percent error rate. Students also analyzed the concentration of blue dye #1 to determine the concentration of blue dye #1 in a commercial blue dye drink

Why will insulators affect how long a test tube of hot water stays hot? Background Information I know that there are many different ways of insulating this test tube‚ shiny foil can be used because it’s a poor emitter of radiation and it will reflect escaping heat by reflecting‚ because this method is used in flasks to keep hot drinks warm. Though it is a good conductor so will lose heat through to surfaces its touching but it shouldn’t matter because it will be touching air and glass which both

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
