Experiment 16: Heat conduction Introduction In this laboratory you will study heat flow across a temperature gradient. By comparing the temperature difference across one material to the temperature difference across a second material of known thermal conductivity‚ when both are conducting heat at a steady rate‚ you will be able to calculate the thermal conductivity of the first material. You will then compare the experimental value of the calculated thermal conductivity to the known value for that

The Effect of Varying Temperatures to the Rate of Respiration of Bufo marinus Statement of the problem: At which environmental temperature‚ do toads have the highest respiration rate? Most animals obtain oxygen‚ which comprise 21% of the air‚ from the environment. Oxygen combines with hemoglobin of the blood to form oxyhemoglobin. Oxyhemoglobin is transported to the tissues where oxygen is released and used for the metabolic functions of the animal. The functions produce waste materials‚ such

The effects of environmental temperature on respiration rates of mice were observed in this experiment. I hypothesized that when environmental temperature decreased‚ the respiration rate of mice would increase. I predicted that if environmental temperature decreased‚ the respiration rate of mice would increase. The respiration rate of the endotherm was measured using the Qubit/Vernier system and the S152 CO2 gas sensor‚ a device that measured the CO2 concentration in the air. The independent variable

spectrum of sunlight yields the highest temperature? My hypothesis is that the blue/violet part will have the highest temperature. The blue/violet part has the highest frequency out of all the colors on the visible light spectrum and it also has the highest amount of energy. Therefore‚ I hypothesize that it will have to the highest temperature as well. After conducting the experiment‚ I noticed that during the duration of five minutes‚ the temperatures of all four thermometers increased. The

The goal of this experiment was to explore how temperature would influence the rate of cellular respiration of beans. It was hypothesized that as the temperature of the beans increased‚ the rate of cellular respiration would increase as well. In this experiment‚ the independent variable was the temperature‚ which gradually increased as time went by‚ and the dependent variable was the rate of cellular respiration‚ which was shown by the change in the amount of CO2 and O2 in the container. During the

Plan:- Independent Variable- Temperature is what I will be changing in the experiment. I want to find out what effect temperature has on the permeability of a cell membrane. Controlling other Variables- I will use measures to ensure that everything stays the same in my test to gain the best and most reliable results possible - Same volume of water that I put the beetroot into after heating. - The beetroot I use will be the same size each time‚ I will ensure this using a cork borer. - The beetroot

Research Report Introduction: The scientific principle that governs this kind of experiment was Combustion Reaction. It is a reaction that another element or compound reacts with oxygen to produce energy in the form of heat and light. It is a reaction that requires oxygen. My objective in doing this experiment is to determine the effect of the height of the candle on the length of its burning time. The existing problem is Suffocation. Research Problem: What is the effect of height of the candle on

Investigation of relationship between pressure‚ volume and temperature of gas Date of experiment: 12/11/2008 Aim of experiment: The objective of this experiment is: 1. To study the relationship between pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature. 2. To study the relationship between the volume and temperature of a gas at constant pressure. Principles involved: When gases are compared‚ their volumes‚ temperatures and pressure are always involved. The volume of a gas is identical

Discussion The data demonstrates that there is a larger temperature change in the cheese and bacon balls compared to the popcorn. This temperature change of the water is due to the cheeseball having more energy due to its fats and sugars‚ therefore releasing more heat and differing the temperature more than the popcorn with the less fat and sugar. The mass of the food was consistent throughout the experiment ranging from 2.98 - 3.25‚ therefore the mass of food combusted was consistent as well. The
