Objective To determine soluble solid concentration in some fruits including tropical and temperate fruits by using handheld refractometer. Introduction “Sugar are the major soluble in fruits juices and estimate of sweetness. Other soluble materials include organic and amino acids‚ soluble pectins‚ and others. Soluble solid concentration can be determined in a small sample of fruits juice using a hand held refractometer. The measurement must be made at 20°C to get an accurate value. This instrument

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY LAB 2: Separation of Organic Liquid Mixtures Introduction: In this experiment‚ a mixture of two compounds‚ cyclohexane and toluene‚ was separated into fractions by the techniques of simple and fractional distillation. The individual fractions that were gathered from the distillation were analyzed using gas chromatography (GC) and used to compare the efficiencies of the two different distillation techniques. The ultimate goal of this experiment was to determine whether simple

Solid waste disposal is one of those rare endeavors where success breeds anonymity. To the credit of local waste management agencies and contractors‚ their service is highly inconspicuous in northeastern Illinois. This low profile belies the importance and complexity of efficient trash collection‚ and veils many impacts of municipal solid waste (MSW) policy from our everyday lives. Like other environmental elements‚ waste does not follow regional borders. From an email survey that we conducted
