Biology 104 Reaction Times Objectives: 1. Formulate and test hypotheses regarding reaction times. Introduction: Reaction time is a measure of how quickly an organism can respond to a particular stimulus. Reaction time has been widely studied‚ as its practical implications may be of great consequence‚ e.g. a slower than normal reaction time while driving can have grave results. Many factors have been shown to affect reaction times‚ including age‚ gender‚ physical fitness‚ fatigue‚ distraction

Reaction Time Reaserch Question: To design on investigation into stimuli ( sight/sound ) that may affect reaction time ( time taken for a response to occur in reaction to a stimulus.) Background information: Humans perceive their outside world through five senses: touch ‚sight‚ taste‚ smell and sound. The reason why we have the 5 major senses is to detect and discriminate among the signals that comes from our environment. These signals carry information necessary for us to support our vital

Coupled Reactions ABSTRACT A way to drive a non-spontaneous reaction forward is by coupling it with another reaction that is highly spontaneous‚ resulting to a spontaneous overall reaction. In this study‚ since the extraction of C(s) from CO2(s) is a non-spontaneous process‚ it was coupled with the oxide formation reaction of Mg‚ a reaction with high spontaneity‚ so that the process of the extraction of C(s) would proceed. The reactions and products which were a mix of black and white

experiment‚ equilibrium will be examines in the reaction beteween the iron (III) ion and the thiocyanate ion: Fe3+ (aq) + SCN- (aq) ------ FeSCN2+ (aq) The FeSCN2+ complex ion has a blood red color while the iron and the thiocyanate ion are colorless. Therefore‚ the shift in the reaction can followed by noting a change in the intensity of the clood red color‚ which indicates a change in the concentration of the complex ion FeSCN2+. If the reaction shifts to the right‚ the blood red color will get

------------------------------------------------- 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

(AMD) problems are the most important environmental problems in sulphide mines especially mines which contain pyrite. Oxidation of sulphides in contact with air and water produces sulphuric acid which reduces the pH of water. The result of these reactions is increase in the solubility of heavy metals and consequently pollution of water resources. The Sarcheshmeh copper mine is one of the largest porphyry copper mines in the world which is located in south-eastern Iran. Chemical analysis of over than

There are many people who suffer from allergies and most of them are found in our bedding. Although many of us don’t know‚ the mattresses and pillows we sleep on are the perfect environment for dust mites and other bacteria that affect our health. Therefore‚ the first thing we have to do is to replace our old bedding with one that eliminates all the microorganisms that invade our everyday life. This article will tell you all you need to know in order to diminish the allergy symptoms and to have a
