The book Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer tells the story of his Everest expedition in 1996. Though ideally everyone would survive this expedition unharmed‚ this was unfortunately not the case; all the dangers of Everest can lead to hypoxia‚ frostbite‚ falling into a crevasse‚ or High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE). Krakauer describes how Ngawang Topche‚ a Sherpa who assisted Scott Fischer’s Everest expedition‚ developed HAPE while climbing the mountain and the effect it had on him. High Altitude Pulmonary

purpose of this experiment is to identify an unknown proprietary drug using thin-layer chromatography. The unknown’s behavior in thin-layer chromatography will be compared with that of its possible component analgesics. The possible unknowns and their analgesic ingredients will be Anacin (aspirin‚ caffeine)‚ Excedrin (acetaminophen‚ caffeine‚ aspirin)‚ Motrin (ibuprofen)‚ and Tylenol (acetaminophen).

Experiment 9- Thin Lenses Introduction Experiment 9 introduced us to the concept of thin lenses. We were asked to determine the focal lengths of two converging lenses and one diverging lens. The following equations were used to calculate the focal lengths: 1/p + 1/q = 1/f where p is equal to the distance of the object from the lens and q is equal to the image length from the lens‚ and f is the focal point and 1/converging F+ 1/diverging F = 1/combined. The focal point is positive for converging

Thin-Layer Chromatography of Analgesics Abstract: In this experiment thin-layer chromatography (TLC) was used to determine the composition of an unknown mixture of analgesics given five references of AC‚ ASP‚ CAF‚ IBU‚ SAL‚ an unknown consisting of a mixture of three of the references‚ and two unknowns (6‚23) containing a single reference compound. The composition of the unknown mixture and two single unknowns were determined by spotting the reference compounds and the unknown compounds on two
