In the eye opening documentary‚ The Human Experiment‚ directed by Don Hardy and Dana Nachman‚ the many health dangers of thousands of harmful chemicals in everyday products are exposed. The film explores the lives of people who have been affected by the ubiquitous chemicals found in our food and our homes. The film addresses the battle against powerful industries that are determined to keep consumers in the dark about the dangers of many of their products. The fight against dangerously lethal chemicals

Becca DeHaven ChemC-125 Avogadro’s Law Experiment Report Introduction: The following experiment’s purpose was to confirm Avogadro’s Law and experimentally determine the Universal Gas Constant “R”. Amedeo Avogadro hypothesized that all gases of equal volume‚ temperature and pressure would contain equal amounts of moles. This idea that volume is directly proportional to moles sprung from other similar hypotheses. Robert Boyle found that pressure and volume are inversely proportional‚ meaning as pressure

Stanley Milgram: ’electric shock’ experiments (1963) - also showed the power of the situation in influencing behaviour. 65% of people could be easily induced into giving a stranger an electric shock of 450V (enough to kill someone). 100% of people could be influenced into giving a 275V shock. The Milgram Experiment Stanley Milgram (1963) Experiment: Focusing on the conflict between obedience to authority and personal conscience. Investigate: Whether Germans were particularly obedient to authority

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

George Elton Mayo: The Hawthorne Experiment George Elton Mayo: The Hawthorne Experiment Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the management theory of George Elton Mayo and how it applies to the current status of management in business today. This will include the examination of the behavioral aspect of management by studying Elton Mayo ’s Hawthorne Experiment and its conclusions. Introduction George Elton Mayo was born the second child of an

The purpose of this experiment was to test the tonicity of potato cells. The potato cells were placed in different test tubes with water and were left there for 15 minutes. The percent change in mass is then used to determine if the cells lost or gained water‚ therefore determining the tonicity of the cell. Although it was a brief short time‚ the final results showed that the more water the potatoes were placed in‚ the more hypotonic the potato becomes. Tonicity is stated to be the state of a solution

EXPERIMENT 201: WORK‚ ENERGY AND POWER John Michael A. Ramos‚ Phy11l/A5 Abstract The essential conditions to be satisfied for work to be done are: Some force must act on the object. The point of application of force must move in the direction of force. W = F x s. SI unit of work is joule. Energy is the capacity to do work. The two types of mechanical energy are kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion. Potential energy is

EXPERIMENT 3: ISENTROPIC EXPANSION PROCESS Objective In order to demonstrate the isentropic expansion process. Introduction Isentropic means no change in entropy. Entropy is a thermodynamic property that is the measure of a system’s thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work. In simple terms‚ the measure of the level of disorder in a closed but changing system‚ a system in which energy can only be transferred in one direction from an ordered state to a disordered
