The objective of the deicer lab was to successfully conduct experiments to determine the usefulness of magnesium chloride as a deicer. To find how successful magnesium chloride is as a deicer‚ experiments were conducted to determine the freezing point depression‚ enthalpy of dissolution‚ the impact on the surrounding environment‚ and also the expenses of using magnesium chloride as a deicer. For magnesium chloride to be determined as a good deicer‚ the reaction with water needs to be exothermic so

if antimicrobial concentration increases‚ then the zone of inhibition will increase because the higher the concentration‚ the more the antimicrobial will disinfect the area of bacteria and thus the zone of inhibition will increase.The results of the lab do support my hypothesis. Paragraph 2: My antimicrobial was bleach. Bleach contains hypochlorous acid which “causes bacterial proteins to unfold and stick to one another‚ making them nonfunctional and leading to cell death”(publications.nigms.nih.gov)

Enzymes are responsible for multiple reactions that take place naturally in the living organisms. The purpose of the enzymes lab was to investigate how the enzymes play a role in a reaction‚ affecting the rate of reaction (ROR). Interestingly‚ we tested how the enzymes affect the reaction rate at multiple temperatures (0‚ 23‚ 37‚ 50‚ 70‚ and 95 C). It was predicted that an increase in temperature will elevate the thermal activity of substrate which increases the chances the substrate molecules will

all calculations‚ below is what we concluded. The molarity you had to be careful with because it was moles/liters and our readings were in milliliters so we had to convert first. In conclusion‚ even though the lab procedure is not about moles‚ most of the calculations are and this is one lab where the concept of

The second strongest concentration‚ 3%‚ only produced one sprout. This means that it is likely that the concentrations were too strong for most of the seeds and killed the plant embryos inside the seed. This trend is upset by 2% being more successful than 1%. To see a definite trend or draw a clearer conclusion‚ however would require large scale testing to be performed‚ a kind of which was not possible to do with the testing

Title: The Effect of Nicotine on the Heart Rate of the Lumbriculus Variegatus Introduction: Background- This lab is being done to demonstrate the effects of stimulants on the circulatory system of blackworms. In this lab‚ the stimulant we have chosen to use is Nicotine. A stimulant is an agent that causes increased activity‚ especially in the nervous or cardiovascular systems. In this lab‚ we will put blackworms into the Nicotine to look at the differences in pulse rates when compared to a control

one of the tests‚ so that data is lost. Specific errors include measuring the entire test tube from top to bottom instead of measuring the exact distance traveled by the filter paper‚ making the test results not plausible. The results of this lab proved several things. The results of the first test show that a higher enzyme concentration causes a faster rate of the substrate being broken down. This means that the effect of enzyme concentration on enzyme activity is a positive effect and speeds

Introduction There are two groups of reflexes in the human body‚ with two ways to categorize each of them. Reflexes can either be inborn and connected through the nervous system‚ or they can be learned through practice. Another way to explain a reflexive category would be autonomic reflexes or somatic reflexes. Autonomic reflexes are those which are unaware to us and act on visceral organs of the body‚ whereas somatic reflexes involve skeletal muscle stimulation. Both types of reflexes are put into

INTRODUCTION As for the visual documentation of a living or dead specimen‚ digital photography has largely replaced traditional illustrations of the living specimen as the standard method of recording the colour and anatomy of the specimen in the field today. Earlier traditional illustration (coloured and black and white) are still considered scientifically important because they can stress fine anatomical features that are often obscured by liquid. Even today‚ these earlier traditional illustrations
