The effect of salt concentrations on the mass of the pear cubes ‘Pyrus’ after being soaked in water Aim: The effect of salt concentrations on the mass of the pear ‘Pyrus’ pieces shaped as cubes of 1cm. Background: Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of higher water potential to an area of lower water potential. Water makes up to 70-90% of living cells and cell membranes are partially permeable membranes. Dissolved substances attract

Properties of Water Water is essential for life as we know it on earth. It is used by plants and animals for basic biological processes which would be impossible without the use of water. The origin of all life can be traced back to the water in the Earth’s precambrien seas. Water is also the universal solvent. It reacts with more elements and compounds than any other substance known to man. Water is a polar molecule made up of on atom of hydrogen and two atoms of oxygen. It is attracted

have to forego salt in order to do it. What you should do is make sure you are eating the right salt in the right amounts. Even if you suffer from high blood pressure‚ you should have some quantities of salt in your diet. The body requires a certain amount of sodium to be healthy. The body can’t manufacture sodium so you have to get it from an outside source. Proponents of unrefined sea salt believe that most people are eating the wrong kind of salt. Users of sea salt say that salt gets a bad reputation

Social psychologist‚ Stanley Milgram of Yale University conducted a controversial and influential experiments on study of the effect of punishment on learning. Nearly 1000 people participated in Milgram’s 20 experiments. The participants assigned to be a learner and a teacher. Milgram created an electric ’shock generator’; it ranged from 15-450 volts. The teachers were given a task to teach and then test the learner on a list of word pairs. For the first wrong answer‚ the teacher will flip the switch

Experiment 4A – Counting Atoms in a Chemical Reaction Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to create an experiment where zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid in order to find out the number of moles and atoms of zinc reacted. This can be accomplished by weighing the sample before and after the reaction with hydrochloric acid. Data: Material Mass in grams (g) Initial mass of dry beaker 49.37 Initial mass of dry beaker + zinc 51.03 Initial mass of zinc 1.66 Final mass

A. Stanford Prison Experiment- In this experiment‚ students volunteered to be a part of a psychology experiment that was being conducted at Stanford College. Because of the situation around them‚ they conformed to the environment‚ even though it was only a simple experiment in a Stanford hallway. Embarrassed and yet impressed‚ the experimenters stated this‚ “The negative‚ anti-social reactions observed were not the product of an environment created by combining a collection of deviant personalities

Milgram’s experiment helped to share a different perspective on how people deal with these types of situations. It showed me that the average person would follow an order regardless of their personal beliefs as long as they were guaranteed that it was justified in some way shape or form‚ or otherwise reassured that the person they would supposedly be harming would make it through with their life intact and only sustain minimal if any damage. The Milgram experiment was a social experiment on the obedience

an object. The density of water is 1 g/㎤. Any object with a density less than that will float. Any object with density more than that will sink. Carbon dioxide‚ or CO2‚ also played a big role in this experiment. Many soft drinks contain CO2. Studies show that Sierra Mist had the most carbonation out of most soft drinks. There was a lot of carbon dioxide in the soda. That was the reason the raisins would float up and down. There were many purposes to this experiment. One purpose was to teach
