Experiment 10: How much CO2? Introduction The goal of this lab was to determine the amount of grams of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) required to produce enough CO2 gas to completely fill the lab and also how many Alka-Seltzer tablets that would equate to. This was done by collecting CO2 gas by inverting a buret and submerging it under water in order to calculate the volume of CO2 released from a fragment of Alka-Seltzer tablet. The main component of Alka-Seltzer is sodium bicarbonate‚ used to neutralize

consumed any caffeine to have a control variable. It was a manual blood pressure monitor‚ so I took my own blood pressure. After placing the cuff on my arm‚ I squeezed the bulb until the cuff pressure reached 170 mm Hg. Then‚ I released the bulb and let the pressure drop until it was 50 mm Hg and I used the release valve on the bulb to completely release the pressure and stopped the data collection. This data was recorded. Next‚ I measured the amount of the Coca-Cola used for the current test into a

This observation was less evident in normal eyes (1.1 +/- 0.6 mm Hg for a 10% difference in CCT)‚ but stronger in eyes with chronic diseases (2.5 +/- 1.1 mm Hg for a 10% difference in CCT)‚ and much higher in eyes with acute diseases (10.0 +/- 3.1 mm Hg for a 10% difference in CCT).
