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

Experiment 1 Background Diffusion is a process‚ in relation to the spontaneous movement of molecules from an area of high concentration‚ to an area of low concentration down a concentration gradient. It is a type of passive transport method‚ that requires no cellular energy (ATP). This movement occurs‚ until a state of equilibrium has been established on both sides of the membrane. The diffusion of molecules happens at cellular level‚ through a cell membrane via the pores. The cell membrane

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

The Afterlife Investigations: The Scole Experiment “Best evidence of life after death ever.” This is what this documentary film is pointing out. Is there really a life after death? Well this film makes me believe more that there is indeed a life after death. However‚ how can scientific evidence explain life after death? Now this film showed me how. The ninety-minute documentary film is about the Scole Experiment‚ which is a five-year investigation into life after death. It is conducted by

Introduction In physics we must distinguish between vector quantities and scalar quantities. Vectors are quantity that has both magnitude and direction. It is typically represented by an arrow whose direction is the same as that of the quantity and whose length is proportional to the quantity’s magnitude. Although a vector has magnitude and direction‚ it does not have position. That is‚ as long as its length is not changed‚ a vector is not altered if it is displaced parallel to itself. In contrast

perform better when they are participants in an experiment. Individuals may change their behavior due to the attention they are receiving from researchers rather than because of any manipulation of independent variables. The Hawthorne experiments took place from 1927 to 1933 in the Hawthorne plant of Western Electric. They wanted to test scientific management. The experiments were held by Elton Mayo‚ and a few of his colleagues. The experiments began as a series of productivity studies from

bubbles. So that’s why we call it a lava lamp inside of bottle. The conclusion is that you can make lava lamp household items if you use Alka-Seltzer‚ water‚ food coloring‚ and vegetable oil. So if you want to try just do what we did. That is our experiment. Why this happened because the Alka-seltzer had a chemical reaction beacuse of some powder on the outside of the alka-seltzer so the bubbles carried the food coloring up to the top of the bottle

The objective of the experiments is to see if mold will grow on bread if it has water. Molds are found everywhere. They are a type of microscopic fungi that lives on organic matter. They can be found both indoors and outdoors. No one knows how many species of fungi exist but estimates at least three hundred thousand or more. they have been on this earth for millions of years and believe to grow where there is moisture. According to the U.S.D.A eating bread with mold can cause allergic reaction and
