Mahatma Gandhi proposed a non-violent march protesting the British Salt Tax‚ continuing Gandhi’s pleas for civil disobedience. The Salt Tax essentially made it illegal to sell or produce salt‚ allowing a complete British monopoly. Since salt is necessary in everyone’s daily diet‚ everyone in India was affected. The Salt Tax made it illegal for workers to freely collect their own salt from the coasts of India‚ making them buy salt they couldn’t really afford. Return to "India under British

investigate the effect of varying the concentration of sucrose solution on osmosis in a potato. Preliminary Experiments One preliminary experiment was done before the main experiment. From the preliminary‚ we were trying to find out how osmosis actually occurred in potatoes‚ and gave us a vague idea on what the main experiment would be like. This preliminary will aid my prediction‚ which is stated below. The following apparatus was used for the preliminary: * 1 large potato (skin

The Great Salt Cellar by Benvenuto Cellini is a perfect example of Renaissance Art for many reasons. The Great Salt Cellar mainly known as the Cellini Salt Cellar was completed in 1543 for Francis I of France. Benvenuto Cellini lived from November 1500- February 1571. He was an excellent sculptor‚ goldsmith‚ and solider. He was an important artist in of Mannerism. This type of art became more known in the late years of the High Renaissance. Mannerism helps show qualities in art when they are unnaturally

The Effect of pH on Enzyme Activity A piece of Solanum tuberosum (potato) was removed and mixed with distilled water in a blender. The resulting solution was filtered through multiple layers of cheese cloth to filter out the liquid by eliminating any large pieces in the solution. The solution created was catechol. Five different solutions were prepared as blanks with each test tube containing 6.0mL of a different pH (pH 4‚ pH6‚ pH7‚ pH8‚ pH10) of phosphate buffer‚ 1.0mL of the enzyme and 1.0mL of

By conducting these three separate experiments also‚ three graphs are able to be obtained where the trend of each factor affecting on the enzyme activity is shown and described clearly. II. Hypothesis Experiment 1 (Effect of Temperature): As the temperature increases‚ the height of the bubble will increase too‚ indicating a faster rate of reaction. Experiment 2 (Effect of

The Salt of the Earth‚ a 1954 film by Michael Wilson‚ is truly a masterpiece. In a very unbiased and professional way‚ I can say that this film is thus far‚ my favorite film that we have seen in our Chicano Cinema class‚ and the reason is easily seen. This film by Wilson adequately and precisely depicted the struggles that many Mexican American citizens suffered through in their work. The movie takes place in Zinc Town‚ New Mexico‚ where the population consists of many miners that work for the

Is salt really that bad? Sodium is an essential electrolyte found in salt. Sodium is a mineral that carries out vital functions for the body some of which include maintaining fluid balance‚ regulating blood volumes‚ nerve transmissions and hydration. Sodium is important in ensuring healthy heart functions and muscle contractions. Some individuals have a higher need for sodium as it can be depleted through exercise (via sweat). If sodium levels are lower than recommended it needs to be replaced
