Introduction: During this laboratory exercise will identify by the graph given which is isotonic‚ hypotonic‚ or hypertonic. The kidneys are a pair of fist-sized organs located outside the peritoneal cavity on each side of the spine. The kidney is a highly specialized organ that maintains the internal environment of the body by selectively excreting or retaining various substances according to specific body needs. The process of urine formation and adjustment of blood composition involves three

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

------------------------------------------------- ABSTRACT ------------------------------------------------- The copper reaction experiment was demonstrated by adding the reagents like 16M HNO3‚ Distilled water‚ 6M NaOH‚ 6M H2SO4‚ Acetone‚ Zinc metal and Methanol into the beaker with the copper wire. The experiment was also demonstrated to observe how copper reacts while different reagents were being added. It was also demonstrated to practice the common laboratory techniques such as methods

There are four major factors that often contribute to the formation of hydrothermal copper porphyry: 1) readily available mineralizing fluid solutions that dissolve and transport metals‚ 2) openings in rocks which allow permeable flow of hydrothermal fluids and the metals that they transport in solution‚ 3) available sites within the fractured rocks which allow for deposition of the minerals from solution‚ and 4) the requisite chemical reactions that contribute to that deposition (Bateman‚ 1967)

necessary to produce a temperature change of 1°C per gram of substance. The specific heats of different substances vary‚ and therefore this quantity may be useful in identifying an unknown. The measurement of heat changes is called calorimetry. In this lab activity‚ calorimetry will be used to determine the specific heat of an unknown metal. This will be done by using a styrofoam cup calorimeter containing water. A calorimeter is insulated so as to minimize any loss of energy to the surroundings. Therefore

determine the weight percentage of copper in brass. This was achieved by performing a redox titration known as iodometry. Copper‚ which was obtained from the brass‚ was used to react with iodide to produce iodine. Iodine was then titrated with thiosulfate. In this experiment‚ the amount of titrant dispensed correlates with the amount of copper; therefore‚ the amount of copper in brass was calculated by using the data recorded. In this experiment‚ the analyte is copper and the sample is brass. The concentration

Tori Suchy Physical Science Honors 1st block October 4‚ 2012 Balloon Powered Car Problem: In order to create a race car that can travel a minimum of eight meters powered by a nine inch balloon. We need incorporate Newton ’s Law of Motion including speed‚ velocity‚ and acceleration. Hypothesis: If a car were to be made out of homemade materials‚ then it would be possible for it to travel 8 meters powered by a nine inch balloon. Independent Variable: building the car from homemade materials

Meal Worm Cellular Respiration Experiment Introduction Cellular respiration provides energy to all living organisms by collecting energy from food molecules. The cell then rearranges complex molecules to simpler molecules and uses that energy to make a molecule that stores energy called adenosine triphosphate also known as ATP. Cellular respiration can occur with or without oxygen. When it occurs without oxygen‚ it is called anaerobic respiration. There are very few organisms that can get
