Introduction In order to identify new materials‚ scientists use a variety of chemical and physical methods to determine molecular masses. One of these methods includes the Dumas method for determining the molecular weight of a volatile liquid. This method‚ which was proposed by John Dumas in 1826‚ makes use of a volatile liquid (vaporizes at a relatively low temperature) and allows this liquid to be heated in a water bath to a known temperature and escape from a flask through a tiny opening (Giunta

Abstract The Tuskegee syphilis experiment was an infamous clinical study conducted between 1932-1972 in Macon Country‚ Alabama by the U.S Public Health Service. The purpose was to study the natural progression of untreated syphilis in rural African American men who thought they were receiving free health care from the U.S government; about four hundred African American men were denied. The doctors that were involved in this study had a shifted mindset; they were called “racist monsters”; “for

Abstract Over a two week period of time in the laboratory‚ we experimented and tested the reaction rate of a peroxidase enzyme and the factors that affected it‚ both positively and negatively. The purpose of these experiments was to probe and manipulate the activity of the enzyme peroxidase by varying temperature‚ pH‚ the amount of enzyme compared to the substrate and the effect of hydroxylamine. Peroxidase activity is expressed when the potato extract is subjected to stresses such as low temperature

Lab 4: Methods of limits Elizabeth Bryan Florida State University Lab 4: Method of limits. Sound waves are created when an object vibrates. They have two main components: frequency (pitch; measured in Hertz (Hz)) and amplitude (loudness‚ intensity; measured in decibels (dB)). The method of limits is a psychophysical method in which a particular dimension of a stimulus‚ or the difference between two stimuli‚ is varied incrementally until the participant responds differently. The change in stimulus

The Scientific Method What is the Scientific Method? “The Scientific Method is a logical and rational order of steps by which scientists comes to conclusions about the world around them that helps to organize thoughts and procedures.”1 The process of the Scientific Method is used by making an observation‚ forming a hypothesis‚ testing the hypothesis‚ analyzing data and then coming up with a conclusion. Scientists use the scientific method to search for cause and effect relationships in nature.

Critical Thinking Stanley Milgram Experiment I feel the reason the Milgram Experiment subjects were lacking the moral and critical thinking of how they reacted to the experiment was a multitude of things such as. The subjects felt they had to because they were being told to by “people of authority” They also felt that since they were participating in the experiment and they were only doing “as told” then they were okay to proceed. Some also stated that do to the trust they had for the school and

Does the amount of sugar in this gum affect the size of the bubble you blow?? Hypothesis: I think that sugar in any gum affects the size of the bubble you blow. I think this because I was watching “The Next Great Baker” and someone was melting sugar and when it cooled off a little he used a balloon blower to make bubbles out of

In this essay the concepts of empiricism and empirical methods and their use in geography will be critically discussed. The main points that will be discussed include the origins of empiricism‚ what empiricism means‚ why empiricism might be useful‚ what empirical methods are‚ the advantages and disadvantages of empirical methods‚ how they are applied in geography including examples and the benefits of applying these in geography. Starting with the origins of empiricism‚ Aristotle was the first
