Bath Salts Since synthetic drugs have become a common theme in the news I wanted to look more into “bath salts” otherwise known as synthetic cathinones. The questions I was pondering were: what exactly do these “bath salts” do‚ how is this latest development in drug abuse affecting the brain and how can you treat someone on these dangerous chemicals? I used Google Scholar to research my topic. http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=Minnesota+Bath+Salts&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C24&as_sdtp=

My experiment was to find out how the type of liquid can affect the amount of drops that can fit on a penny. I used 3 liquids to test my question and they were water‚ rubbing alcohol‚ and vegetable oil. I discovered that water could hold the most drops and vegetable oil and rubbing alcohol could hold about the same amount of drops. My hypothesis was if I use water then it will hold more drops than vegetable oil. My hypothesis was supported by my data. The average number of drops for water was 93

An experiment to find the percentage of three separated components Research Question: Is it possible to separate salt‚ sand and iron filings from each other in a mixture‚ to figure out the percentage of each component in the original mixture? Background Research: In this Investigation‚ I will be separating sand‚ salt‚ iron fillings in a mixture and finding their percentages. Iron is a magnetic solid which is incapable of being dissolved in water. Salt is a non-magnetic solid which is capable

window; she stretched lazily and placed her feet‚ one by one on the floor. Rising from the bed‚ she tiptoed through the boxes which lay everywhere and put a kettle of water onto boil. Waiting‚ she glanced over all her possessions‚ grateful she had the whole day before her. She scooped instant coffee into the cup and poured in now boiling water. Stirring the coffee‚ she tried to decide where to begin. She took a quick sip of coffee and searched her box of books. She ordered them neatly on a shelf. Then

project is to demonstrate how water temperature affects the dissolving of sugar in liquid. Everything in our universe is made up of particles which are in constant motion. In a solid state particles move the slowest while in a liquid state particles move the fastest. Under the right conditions‚ solid particles (the solute) when mixed in liquid (the solvent) can form a solution. This occurrence is called dissolving. I wanted to answer the question; does the temperature of water affect the speed at which

The Effect of Salt Concentration on Osmosis in Potato Cells We should first explain what Osmosis is. It’s a passage of water from a region of high water concentration through membrane to a region of low water. Semi membrane is a very thin layer of material‚ which allows some things to pass through them but prevent other things from passing through. The cells allow small molecules like Oxygen‚ water‚ Carbon Dioxide‚ Ammonia. But will not allow larger molecules like Sucrose‚ Starch‚ or protein‚ etc

Effect of Temperature on Salt Diffusion Rates and it’s Relation to the Human Body Hypothesis: Ordinary table salt is known to dissolve easily in water. Dissolving or diffusion is the spreading of particles in another substance. This is seen when smoke from a chimney diffuses in the air around it‚ or when dropping coloring in water. When NaCl‚ sodium chloride‚ or otherwise known as ordinary table salt is combined with water the separate salt and water molecules will be attracted to each other

Ammonia and Its Salts 1. Ammonia‚ NH3 is a very important compound in industry. 2. The main uses of ammonia: a) To manufacture nitrogenous fertilizers such as ammonium sulphate‚ ammonium nitrate and urea b) The liquid form is used as a cooling agent (refrigerant) in refrigerators c) As a raw material for the manufacture of nitric acid in the Ostwald process d) To be converted into nitric acid used for making explosives e) As an alkali to prevent the coagulation of latex

Modeling Effective Dose: Salt Tasting lab Purpose The purpose of this lab is to see at what measurements (of salt) can the salt be detected by taste. Abstract The science of toxicology is based on the principle that there is a relationship between a toxic reaction (the response) and the amount of poison received (the dose). An important assumption in this relationship is that there is almost always a dose below which no response occurs or can be measured. A second assumption is that once a maximum

An experiment to investigate the Stroop effect in which participants are asked to name the colour in which a word is written‚ that word having either a colour- association or a neutral association. ABSTRACT. This study was an investigation of the cognitive processes at work during a variation of the classic Stroop test and effect‚ in which the degree of intrusion into automatic thought processes may be witnessed in a colour identification task. It was found that the rate of word identification
