Project 1: Polymer Ball Vivian Kim General Chemistry 2045L Introduction Our assignment in this project was to create a bouncy ball for a company using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)‚ polyvinyl acetate solid and sodium borate‚ by varying the ration of ingredients and to determine the best recipe for our bouncy ball. The company chose the materials because of their odorless and nontoxic properties. PVA is a water-soluble synthetic polymer and has adhesive properties

INTRODUCTION There are many reasons for knowing the identity of microorganisms. The reasons range from the knowing the causative agent of a disease to knowing the correct microorganism in order to make antibiotics. This study was done by applying the following methods; OF Glucose‚ Indole Production‚ and Malonate Utilization test for the identification of an unknown bacterium. The methods will assist in determining the unknown bacterium found in a 55 year old male that was passing blood and mucous

test tubes • Mortar and Pestle • Refrigerator • Hydrogen Peroxide • 7.0 pH Phosphate buffer solution • Thermometer Methods The potato was crushed with a mortar and pestle to make a slurry (the catalase) and poured it into a 250 ml beaker. Four 100 mm test tubes (marked at every cm) were filled from the beaker with a mixture of the catalase and a 7.0 pH phosphate buffer solution to the 1 cm mark

AP Bio Block B Photosynthesis Lab 12/6/12 Introduction: Photosynthesis is affected by light intensity‚ water‚ and temperature. Plants grow more abundantly because the weather is warm. Carbon Dioxide given off by animals is consumed by plants that replace the oxygen animals take it. Experimentation will help understanding how plants are vital because of the oxygen they release. If leaf disks in the experiment release oxygen‚ they will undergo photosynthesis and float. If

Due date: Wednesday‚ March 23rd. Do all of the following problems. Show your work. 1) Consider the cyclic molecule C8H8‚ the eight carbon analogue to benzene. a) Write the secular detrerminant corresponding to the pi-bonding in C8H8. b) Using the secular determinant‚ the following energies are found for the pi-bonding molecular orbitals: 1 = + 2 2 = + 1.41 (two states) 3 = (two states) 4 = - 1.41 (two states) 5 = - 2 Give the electron configuration for the

Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to observe the colours produced when the solutions of metal ions are heated to high temperatures‚ then to explain the results in terms of the energy levels of the metal ions. Lastly‚ to use the flame colours to identify a series of unknowns. Hypothesis: Substance being tested Predicted flame colour NaCl(s) Yellow NaCl Red-Orange NaNO3 Dark Orange LiNO3 Red Sr(NO3)2 Dark Red KNO3 Blue-Indigo Ba(NO3)2 Yellow-Green Cu(NO3)2 Green Ca(NO3)2

We labeled the test tubes with numbers one through five. The first test tube was our calibration tube‚ here we added one milliliter (mL) of buffer‚ four mL of distilled water and three drops of chloroplasts using pipets. After‚ we created the solution for the second‚ third‚ fourth and fifth test tubes by adding one mL of buffer‚ three mL of distilled water one mL of DPIP an 3 drops of chloroplasts. However‚ we decided that test tube number two was going to be the test tube that was

choose. The study recruited HPS121 students to participate in a limited and extensive choice experiment in context to hotels. There were 661 participants‚ each chose one hotel and where then surveyed using six questions; three demographic and three in regards to difficulty‚ motivation and satisfaction using a 7-point Likert scale. The findings supported the hypothesis and were consistent with past research. Satisfaction and difficulty of choice showed a statistically significant difference with limited

Questions and Hypothesis: Seed germination‚ plant growth‚ and sprouting of leaves are affected by several factors: supply of nutrients‚ water‚ exposure to sunlight‚ and conditions of surroundings. Due to certain stimuli in the surroundings plant “hormones” cause plants to behave in ways that ensure the most efficient use of resources while preserving the most energy. One stimulus to consider‚ is the exposure of plants to sunlight; when plants are just sprouting and are underground‚ the sti
