Adsorption Experiment This paper will be discussion the adsorption experiment conducted in Dr.O lab class. This paper will cover what Chitin/Chitson are but before explaining what these are it is best to get an understanding of what adsorption‚ absorption and sorption are. Adsorption is the accumulation of gases‚ liquids‚ or solutes on the surface of a solid or liquid. This binding is very weak. Almost anything such as fluids that dissolves can break the binding of the molecules. In addition adsorption

The effect of alcohol concentration on the cell membrane Abstract: In this experiment I found out that as the concentration of the alcohol was increased so did the colour intensity of the solution. This is because the higher concentration of ethanol‚ results in more damage done to the cell membrane‚ resulting in leakage of red pigment from the cell. If the membrane is damaged more‚ more red pigment will leak out of the membrane and into the ethanol. Hypothesis: The higher the concentration

- Quasi Experimental Design: If the researcher lacks control over the assignment of participants to conditions and does not manipulate the causal variable of interest‚ the design is quasi experimental. o Quasi Experiments do not have internal validity because participants are not randomly assigned to conditions and the researcher may have no control over the independent variable. - Basic Confounds in Quasi Experimental Design are : o History o Maturation (Emotional‚ Physical & Psychological)

Purpose This experiment shows how different concentrations of acids and bases in a solution affect its pH level. When acids and bases are combined in a solution‚ they neutralize each other. This means that depending on the concentration of both acids and bases in a solution‚ the pH will vary. A neutral pH level is 7; anything below that level is known as an acidic solution‚ while anything above is known as a basic solution. To find out the pH‚ the solutions will be diluted and tested with different

Individual Project Unit 2 Experiments In this individual project we were asked to conduct three experiments. The three experiments I chose to conduct were Experiment 1‚ Experiment 2‚ and Experiment 4. I have documented my findings for the experiments that were done. In Experiment 1‚ I was to rub my index finger gently over a piece of very coarse sandpaper for a few times. Then‚ I was to rate its coarseness on a scale from 1 (very soft) to 7 (very coarse)

The Milgram experiment The Milgram experiment came about by a Yale University psychologist by the name of Stanley Milgram. The experiment was to test how well the study participants were and the willingness of study participants to obey an authority figure who instructed them to perform acts that conflicted with what they thought was right. He concluded people obey either out of fear or out of a desire to appear cooperative even when acting against their own better judgment and desires. Stanley

loss from the hot water from combining it with the cold water. As discussed in a page titled Heat Capacity2‚ the heat capacity is defined as the amount of heat it takes to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree (in this case C). In the experiment performed in lab‚ the heat capacity of the calorimeters was calculated by subtracting the heat gain from the heat loss and then dividing that by the difference in the temperatures between cold water and the combination of the hot and cold water

Bread Mold Experiment Mold is something that we often take for granted‚ as something that makes us have to throw the bread away or the cheese smell bad. Mold is‚ in fact‚ a fascinating organism which has had many different uses over the years and our lives would not be the same without it. Most of us know that food seems to become moldy more quickly in the summer than in the winter when it is colder. Food in refrigerators seems to keep longer than food left out in the sun. Is this true? Does temperature

The main focus of this experiment was to find the relationship between temperature and the enzyme activity of amylase. This was achieved by attaining amylase enzyme‚ starch solution and potassium iodide (determines if enzymes hydrolyses the starch solution)‚ water bath and a hot plate. The temperatures used for this experiment were room temperature‚ 37oC‚ 60oC‚ 80oC‚ and 90oC. The hypothesis developed was that as the temperature increased‚ so will enzyme activity. Therefore‚ the ability of the

is still open to controversy. Does a dose of caffeine heighten one ’s mental performance‚ or does it achieve the opposite? Many experiments have already taken place in order to discover how caffeine effects a person ’s mental performance. In the Radiological Society of America ’s annual conference in December of 2005‚ Florian Koppelstatter reported an experiment in which he used functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI) to determine how coffee effects brain activity. Subjects were then given
