Lab 7: The Kidney’s Role in Fluid Balance Introduction The renal system performs a vital role in homeostasis. The kidneys’ ability to retain valuable constituents and expel metabolic wastes from the body enables this system to regulate the volume‚ osmolarity‚ and pH of body’s internal fluid environment (Sherwood‚ 2007‚ p. 511). The functional unit of the kidney‚ referred to as the nephron‚ is composed of both tubular components—Bowman’s capsule proximal tubule‚ loop of Henle‚ the distal tubule

Analysis of Soda Ash and Carbonate-Bicarbonate Mixture Submitted: February 27‚ 2013 Department of Chemical Engineering‚ Faculty of Engineering University of Santo Tomas España‚ Manila Abstract A standard acid solution like HCl can be used as titrant for the analysis of both soda ash and a carbonate-bicarbonate mixture. In the analysis of soda ash‚ the volume needed to neutralize the soda ash is used to compute for its alkalinity‚ in this experiment we obtained a 17.6 % alkalinity with an error

experiments using three different measuring tools (graduated cylinder‚ burette & pipette) to evaluate the precision of each one. Results: Density 1‚ 2 & 3 calculated by using graduated cylinder to obtain volume. Density 4‚ 5 & 6 calculated by using volumetric pipette to obtain volume. Density 7‚ 8 & 9 calculated by using burette to obtain volume. All experimental values obtained have been included in this determination. Average density calculated numerically: Average density = sum of all densities

Lab Report 7: Analysis of Cereal Introduction: The objective of this lab was to consult for the FDA regarding a recently surfaced scandal involving false reporting of iron content in cereal as well as iron tablets. The makers of the cereal and the iron tablets‚ respectively‚ were allegedly reporting higher amounts of iron in their products than actually existed‚ as a way to save money but continue to provide products with “adequate” amounts of iron. The FDA needed consulting in order to analyze
