In this document‚ only health and safety aspects will be considered. The terms "job" and "task" are commonly used interchangeably to mean a specific work assignment‚ such as "operating a grinder‚" "using a pressurized water extinguisher‚" or "changing a flat tire." JHAs are not suitable for jobs defined too broadly‚ for example‚ "overhauling an engine"; or too narrowly‚ for example‚ "positioning car jack." What are the benefits of doing a Job Hazard Analysis? The method used in this example

Date of Experiment: 4 September 2012 Introduction An acid-base titration is a procedure used in quantitative chemical analysis to determine the concentration of either an acid or a base. Titration is the slow addition of an acid (or a base) of known concentration from a burette (a narrow graduated cylinder) to a base (or an acid) of unknown concentration fin an Erlenmeyer flask. There are two types of acids: strong acid and weak acid‚ and also two types of bases: strong base and weak base. Therefore

Introduction Reactive oxygen species (ROS) include super oxide ion (O2-)‚ hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and hydroxyl radical (HO- ) are the causative agents to produce oxidative stress. ROS are produced by two independent pathways: mainly the mitochondrial oxidative metabolism and cellular responses to bacterial invasion‚ xenobiotic and cytokines. To counteract the formation of ROS‚ a number of antioxidant proteins have been described. These proteins are superoxide dismutase‚ catalase‚ glutathione peroxidase

In this lab‚ we were able to determine measuring the pH of liquids work. We were able to compare the liquids based on their pH level and determine which liquid was acidic or basic. Our results showed that if something came out to be seven or less‚ according to the pH scale‚ it means that an acid is a substance that donates hydrogen ions. Because of this‚ when an acid is dissolved in water‚ the balance between hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions is shifted. Now there are more hydrogen ions than hydroxide

reactions without changing being changed by the reactions. In lab they tested this by seeing how H2O2 and the catalysts from the banana and liver react to make H2O+O2. Depending on different conditions; like decomposition of H2O2 (surface area)‚ temperature on function‚ reusing the catalase‚ reaction rate of iced liver returned to room temperature‚ and effects of pH on enzyme activity‚ to see how much O2 was released by each reaction. For experiment two they tested effect of temperature on liver‚ iced had

Liver and colon cleanse The colon and liver are very important organs in the body’s health with each having a specific task within the body when it comes to body detoxification. The colon is vital in eliminating wastes and water from the body‚ and the liver is responsible for filtering toxic substances and additives from the body. If both the two organs does not work correctly‚ waste full of dangerous substances and toxins can back up inside our body. This waste when left in our body can lead to

Discussion: The effect of wavelength of light on the rate of photosynthesis was investigated in this experiment. The results from Figure 13 suggest that white light‚ containing all wavelengths of coloured light‚ has the highest rate of photosynthesis. Purple light had the second highest efficiency‚ followed by blue‚ red‚ and yellow light. Green light was significantly less efficient‚ producing the second lowest pH reading (Figure 14). The samples exposed to no light had the lowest rate of photosynthesis

Potato Osmosis and Diffusion Lab Report Emily Cocq Research Question: Will there be a difference in the experimented potato cores after being subjected to high concentrations of sugar? Introduction: Water can move through protein channels in cell membrane/cell walls. The water will move due to the water potential of the cells. If there is a greater concentration of solutes (chemicals) inside the cell than outside the cell and the chemicals can not move‚ then water will respond by moving
