with a diffuser and stilling materials at the bottom to provide a constant head of water to be discharged through a bellmouth entry to the flow visualisation pipe. Flow through this pipe is regulated using a control valve at the discharge end. The water flow rate through the pipe can be measured using the volumetric tank (or measuring cylinder) of a Hydraulics Bench. Velocity of the water can therefore be determined to allow for the calculation of Reynolds’ number. A dye injection system is installed

bonds are present in various food substances. The color violet will indicate the presence of proteins. The more intense the color is‚ the greater number of peptide bonds there are (Mbuthia‚ 2012). Methods Using the China marker‚ I numbered test tubes 1-5 for identification purposes. Using a pipet I added 1 milliliter of each solution to it’s designated test tube. Next‚ I added 5 drops of the Biuret reagent to each test tube and agitated the mixture by shaking the tubes from side to side. After

goods like Canada‚ the effects of acid rain can be tremendous. In this lab‚ we have chosen to examine the effects of acidic and basic environments on radish plants (Raphanus sativus)‚ by implementing varying pH levels of buffer solution into the soil. We have allotted a total of four days (Tuesday‚ April 10‚ 2012- Friday April 13‚ 2012) to examine the effects of acid rain. Purpose: To investigate the effect of implementing buffer solutions of varying pH levels in soil on the growth in height of radish

The Effects of Individuals’ Detection of Changes in Images on Reaction Time Abstract The purpose of this current study was to examine how individuals detected or noticed change when viewing images on their level of attentiveness. The experiment consisted of 22 participants who had to detect change across conditions for 20 minutes. These conditions were importance of change (marginal and central) and change type (color‚ location and disappearance and reappearance of images). These

Limiting Reagent and Percent Yield Aim To determine the limiting reagent between the reaction of lead (II) nitrate and potassium iodide. To determine the percent yield of lead (II) iodide. Date Started: 13/4/12. Finished: 19/4/12. Data collection and processing Measurements: * Amount of distilled water: 75.0ml ± 0.5ml. * Mass of watch glass: 31.65g ± 0.01g. * Mass of watch glass + potassium iodide: 32.45g ± 0.01g. * Mass of potassium iodide: 0.8g ± 0.02g. * Mass of watch

truss becomes internally statically indeterminate. In this case the truss is termed statically overdeterminate. The SE 110.22 experimental set-up permits investigation and comparison of statically determinate and statically indeterminate trusses. Using the bars and node discs‚ a statically determinate‚ single plane truss is first constructed. On installation of a surplus bar the truss becomes overdeterminate. By way of a load application device‚ straight or inclined forces are applied to the truss

The Determination of the Concentration of Hard Water Ions by the Titration of EDTA By Hannah Denby Lab partners: Heidi Kiziah‚ Leonie Hamel University of Central Florida‚ CHM 2046L December 3rd‚ 2015 Abstract. The “hardness” of water is a common dilemma attributed by high concentrations of metals such as calcium and magnesium. This is a result of the properties of water; because it is a good solvent‚ impurities are easily dissolved. As water moves through soil and rock‚ it dissolves minute amounts

Reaction between Iron(III) Nitrate and Sodium Hydroxide. 2. Take two cylinders and fill one (full) with sodium hydroxide solution and other with Iron(III) nitrate solution. 3. Pour suitable amount (around 50 ml) of sodium hydroxide from the cylinder using a funnel into a Erlenmeyer flask. 4. Take a test tube and fill it half with the iron(III) nitrate solution from the cylinder with the use of a funnel. 5. Place the test tube containing iron(III) nitrate solution into the Erlenmeyer flask containing

Amylase Title Influence of Concentration on the Activity of Amylase Abstract Does more or less concentration speed up the reaction rate of amylase in starch? In this experiment diluted solutions of amylase were created and then tested using a starch solution‚ I2KI for reaction times. The answer to the question was proved to be that more concentration of amylase speeds up the reaction time. Introduction The enzyme‚ amylase is found in the saliva of most animals and in humans.
