Engr 4132 Biomedical Engineering Lab Dr. Gang Xu Lab #9: ECG & Pulse Mechanical Action of the Heart Peripheral Pressure Pulse Plethysmography By: Abigail Magee Partners: Lauren Tinnin Nick Walker Date: 11/05/2015 Introduction: The heart goes through a cardiac cycle in order to pump blood throughout the body. This cycle is started by electrical activity that can be measured by an electrocardiogram. As the heart contracts‚ it pumps blood into the next section of the cardiac

Introduction: Systolic blood pressure‚ the highest pressure in the cardiac cycle‚ measures the pressure in the arteries as the left ventricle contracts. Diastolic blood pressure‚ the lowest pressure in the cardiac cycle‚ measures the pressure in the arteries as the ventricles relax and refill with blood just before the next ventricular contraction. We measure blood pressure using a sphygmomanometer and a stethoscope. To measure the systolic pressure‚ place the blood pressure cuff on the upper arm and

Grant Thermodynamics – Enthalpy of Reaction and Hess’s Law I. Purpose The purpose of this lab is to verify Hess’s Law through the three reactions of NaOH and HCl‚ NH4Cl and NaOH‚ and NH3 and HCl. The sum of the enthalpies of the first two reactions should equal the enthalpy of the third reaction. II. Background Hess’s Law is used to determine the enthalpy of a reaction from adding two or more preceding reactions. To determine the enthalpies of certain chemical reactions

The Enthalpy of Formation of Magnesium Carbonate By: Jessica Miller T.A: Thomas Lab Partner: Rebekah Melanson Thursday Lab Room 106 Chemistry 1001-A Due Date: Thursday February 3rd 2011 Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to determine the enthalpy of formation of magnesium carbonate in a lab setting. This was done using a calorimeter‚ which was calibrated by adding a known amount of both hot and cold water. Following the calibration of the calorimeter‚ HCl was placed into the empty calorimeter

(a) Give generalized conclusions (in point form) according to your observation in (a). 1. systolic pressure increases when the degree of exercise increases Systolic pressure increases gradually from 115 mmHg at rest to 150 mmHg during severe exercise. When thr degree of exercise increases‚ the skeleton muscle needs more energy(ATP) for rapid contraction by carrying out aerobic respiration. The skeleton muscle required faster uptake of oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide. At the same time‚ skeleton

The Enthalpy Change of the Decomposition of Calcium Carbonate _INTRODUCTION_ RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the enthalpy change of the decomposition of calcium carbonate? BACKGROUND: Enthalpy in chemistry can be thought of as the energy contained within the bonds‚ or the internal energy‚ but it is not heat and you can only measure changes in it. When bond bonds break in the reactants energy is given off‚ when bonds form‚ energy is absorbed. If the energy absorbed is less than the energy released

Measuring the Enthalpy change of combustion Abstract This simple experiment is carried out to show the difference in the enthalpy change of combustion between two fuels‚ hexane and methanol. These fuels are individually weighed before and after used as heat source to heat water in a calorimeter. The result is used to find out amount of heat transferred by the fuel‚ amount of fuel used and the enthalpy change of combustion. Introduction Enthalpy change of combustion is the enthalpy change when

Determining an Enthalapy Change of Reaction Purpose of Experiment The purpose of this experiment is to determine the enthalapy change for the displacement reaction: Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) Cu(s) + ZnSO4(aq) Hypothesis With this experiment I can also not make a hypothesis‚ because we did actually not do the experiment‚ but we were told that the temperature would make a sudden drop ‚ but we can measure the ΔT of the surrounding. The reaction is endothermic because the system will take in energy
