With their efficient skills of interaction with other parts of the society‚ they communicate to the society about need for protecting environment. Students may promote use of cold water in day to day activities if temperature/atmosphere permits. Students need to promote the plantation in surrounding areas.

some simple approaches can also be very effective. The following is one of them. Assume that A‚ B‚ C‚ D‚ E are 5 variables storing 5 numbers respectively; and we would like to show the numbers on the screen in descending order. It can be done using the procedure as follows. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Initialize a variable number F that keeps a very large value (must be larger than those values of A‚ B‚ C‚ D‚ E) Search among the batch for the biggest number‚ which is smaller than the value of F Show

Vitamin c in fruit juice using dcpip titration Preparing the standard ascorbic acid solution 1. Weigh out accurately about 0.2 g ascorbic acid and make up to 1 L with distilled water. 2. Calculate the concentration of the ascorbic acid solution: C = n/V = m/M/V. Sample calculation: mass of ascorbic acid = 0.205 g C (ascorbic acid) = 0.205/176.12/1.00 = 0.00116 M Preparing the DCPIP solution Weigh out accurately approximately 0.24 g DCPIP (Mr = 268.1g/mol) and make up to 1 L with
