1. 6 cleaned and dried conical flasks were collected and safely transported to the experimental table.
2. A black marker was used to mark a black cross on a white sheet of paper. This was to help with measuring the time (dependent variable).
3. A thermometer was placed on the table to measure the room temperature.
4. 0.15mol/L sodium thiosulphate solution (Na2S2O3) and 3mol/L hydrochloric acid (HCL) were poured into two separate 50 ml beakers, and the two beakers were transported to the experimental table for convenience.
5. 25 ml of 0.15mol/L sodium thiosulphate solution were measured in a 25 ml measuring cylinder. Pipette was used to transfer the solution from beaker to the measuring cylinder for accuracy.
6. 4 ml of 3 mol/L hydrochloric acid were measured in a 10 ml

Three conical flasks with HCL solution and three conical flasks with Na2S2O3 solution were all put into the same plastic container for 2 minutes. This was to make sure the flask and solution had the same temperature as planned.
(Controlled the temperature)
20. The temperature was recorded down before the experiment was stared, and the plastic container was placed on top of the black cross. The person who did timing was ready to start the stop watch.
21. The same procedure was repeated from step 11 to step 14.
22. The kettle of hot water and ice were used to regulate other temperatures (0ᵒC, 10ᵒC, and 40ᵒC).
23. 9 experiments were done on the three temperatures (0ᵒC, 10ᵒC, and 40ᵒC) included 3 trials for each temperature.
24. All of the procedures were repeated as done for the previous three experiments.
25. All of the equipment used were washed and cleaned carefully, and returned to the appointed places.

• Each of the 5 different independent variables was repeated for 3 times as 3 trials.
• The conical flasks were placed in the water baths for two minutes before the experiment was started.
• Hot water and ice were added to the plastic container whenever there was change in

    Three test tubes where number 1-3, the first and second test tubes (#1,#2) where mark at 1cm and 5cm from the bottom of the test tube while test tube #3 was mark at 3cm and 7cm. Test tube #1 was filled up to the 1cm mark with distilled water and to 5cm with Hydrogen peroxide. The substance was swirl for 30 seconds and the height of the bubbles column where recorded. Test tube #2 was fill up to the 1cm mark with catalase and to the 5cm mark with hydrogen peroxide. The substance was swirl for 30 second and the height of the bubbles column where recorded.…

    Evaluation When performing the experiment, the pill bugs were generally unresponsive, and many stayed in the same place throughout the whole experiment. Outside of this, no major problems occurred while performing the experiment. If the experiment were to be performed again, more of the IV (baking soda, rubbing alcohol, etc.) would be added to produce a more pronounced effect on the pill bugs, as most pillbugs did not move at all. The results are mostly trustworthy and accurate, as the data is backed up by the research done prior to the experiment. Conversely, more trials could have been performed as experiments with living organisms tend to need a larger sample size.…

    While the experiment was indeed fascinating to watch, several strengths and weaknesses existed in the research. In the beginning of the episode, Adam and Jamie went to Stanford University to look for a suitable measure for pain tolerance. They were introduced to four standard measures of pain, including extreme heat, capsaicin injection, electricity, and cold pressor test by Dr. Chu, who specialize in pain. After testing out themselves, the hosts of the show chose the cold pressor test (Rees, 2010). Thus, the measurement selected for the experiment is reliable, as it is approved by specialist.…

    For the first experiment, we had three test tube set up one was a basic reaction and the others were two control groups. The basic test tube had 1.4mL of a buffer, 0.5mL substrate, and 0.1 mL enzymes, one control test tube had only 1.9mL buffer and 0.1 mL enzyme, while the other control test tube had 1.5mL buffer and 0.5 mL. Each of the three test tubes had sat in the water bath for twenty minutes while checking on them for every five minutes to be able to observe any color changes. For the temperature experiment, we did two test tube one hot and one for cold, both had 14mL of a buffer, 0.5 mL of the substrate, and 0.1 mL of the enzyme. Each was sat for twenty minutes checking every five minutes for a color change. The only different in this experiment is that one test tube sat in an ice bucket and the other test tube sat in a beaker on a hot plate.…

    The experiment that I will be conducting focuses on how fast one tablet of Alka seltzer can dissolve in various temperatures of water. The core of this procedure is to determine the impact that temperature has on how fast something dissolves. My hypothesis for this experiment would be that the Alka Seltzer that dissolves the fastest would be the one that was placed in the water with the highest temperature. There will be controlled and manipulated variables explained throughout the experiment. The two main things used in this experiment will be the solute and the solvent, which is Alka Seltzer and water.…

    Introduction Density measures the volume that a given amount of mass takes up. Usually, density has grams per unit volume as a unit. To find the density of an object, the object has to be measured and its mass has to be divided by its volume. Often times, density is used to identify substances, since different elements have specific densities. This experiment is made up of two sections; the first section measures the density of water and the density of an unknown substance.…

    Determination of the Concentration of Acid in Gastric Juice Introduction Titration is a method where a solution of known concentration is used to find the concentration of an unknown solution. A standard solution is a solution of precisely known concentration. The aim of this experiment was to go over the use of pipettes, burettes, titrations and also to reinforce the concept of molarity.…

    Introduction This extended experimental investigation (EEI) investigated the effect in which concentration had on the rate of reaction. The purpose of this experiment is to test different concentrations of hydrochloric acid with sodium thiosulfate and to see how long it would take until the cross underneath the flask is no longer visible through the milky white solution. Collision theory A collision is when two or more object run into each other. But collision theory is, that only some particle collisions make changes (or are fruitful).…
