Clostridium Difficile People getting medical care can catch serious infections called healthcare-associated infections or HAI’s. One type of HAI which is caused by the germ Clostridium Difficile or C-Diff. In 2015 it was estimated almost half a million infections in the United Ststes‚ and 29‚000 died within 30 days of the initial diagnosis. Those most at risk are older adults‚ who take antibiotics and also get medical care. The CDC provides guidelines and tools for the healthcare population to help

Separating the Sexes‚ Just for the Tough Years 1. The middle school years (grades 7 and 8) are known to be the “tough years”. These are the years when the uneven pace of girls’ and boys’ physical‚ emotional‚ and cognitive development is most noticeable. Girls are ahead of boys on all counts‚ and both suffer. Educators debate whether separating boys and girls during these difficult years might improve students’ academic performance. Separate Classes are now prohibited in public schools that receive

Due to the lack of literature value for the effects of temperature on the rate of the Iodine Clock Reaction‚ there was no final percentage error. However‚ Looking at Graph 1.6‚ the line of best fits clearly shows the low precision throughout this experiment resulting in an increase of Random error. This could be due to the many assumptions

Every step in this experiment has reasons behind its application. One determines the masses of the crucible and barium chloride hydrate for obvious data collection and calculation purposed. The heating of the sample slowly for 10 minutes is done to remove the water from the sample. A constant mass for the sample must be obtained so therefore it must be done slowly because if not you may loose mass from the sample. At the point where the crystalline solid changes to a powdery solid the sample must

ISE: The Determination of Chloride Unknown: #34 I. Purpose: In experiment V‚ “ISE: The Determination of Chloride”‚ the concentration of an Unknown Chloride solution‚ and the Wt% of NaCl in a sample of celery salt‚ were both determined. To determine the concentration of an Unknown Chloride solution‚ a Calibration plot is first prepared. The Calibration plot is made by first measuring a series of known concentrations of Cl- (with the same activity of the unknown solution) and obtaining

Introduction This lab proposed the question of what happens when copper chloride and iron are combined and what is the balanced equation.By completing this lab‚ the goal was to determine the equation and product for the reaction of iron (Fe) and copper chloride (CuCl2). It was predicted either solid iron or solid copper would form. Methods To begin‚ 6.00026 grams of copper chloride was dissolved in 50ml of distilled water in order to have a solution with charged iron and chlorine atoms. Then‚ 6

Synthesis of t-Pentyl Chloride Introduction: Using SN1 reaction mechanism with hydrochloric acid‚ t-Pentyl alcohol was converted to t-Pentyl chloride in an acid catalyzed reaction. The reaction took place in a separatory funnel designed to separate immiscible liquids. The crude product was extracted by transferring a solute from one solvent to another. The process of washing the solutions by phase transfer was used in order to remove impurities from the main solvent layer. Finally‚ the crude
