I researched many things about my experiment before doing it. This way, I could have a better idea of what to look at while conducting the experiment. I completed background research on baking soda and vinegar, CO2 production from their reaction, base and acidic substances reacting, and stoichiometry of baking soda and vinegar reactions. After doing research, I found many interesting facts and information. First I researched vinegar. It is an alcoholic liquid that has been allowed to sour.…

a revolting act that needs to be terminated. Pain and suffering are the only sensations many of these animals experience during the last moments of their diminutive lives (Garner). Scientists have claimed that any pain that animals feel during experiments are “necessary” for medical advancements, however, inflicting pain on any living organism is unjustifieable (Garner). Important to realize, is that animal testing is an unreliable and wasteful source of research (Animal Aid). In the past,…

manual1. We were employed by the Environmental Protection Agency as chemists. Our task is to identify an unknown compound that was found in a nearby landfill. In this laboratory, the unknown compound was given to us by our TA. The main goal of this experiment was to correctly identify the unknown compound. We also wanted to discover as many chemical and physical properties as possible. Physical properties are those that can be determined without performing any changes to the identity of the…

information about the study, and effects. Most would refuse these treatments if they knew what was at risk. It is illegal and unethical to do these experiments without the patient knowing the treatment and effect, but yet the government was funding theses experiments. Let's take a look at the most popular experiments from the past. Prison experiments are unethical because they go against the 3 main rules of ethics Autonomy, Beneficence, and Justice. Autonomy: Individuals who are imprisoned have…

Discussion of the Results and the Scientific Explanation The purpose of this experiment was to identify an unknown compound and discover its properties by devising experimental designs that enable for its identification (Cooper, 2009). Fifteen possible compounds were given, and a series of qualitative tests were used to eliminate the different possibilities and identify the specific unknown compound. These tests included a solubility test, which determines whether the compound is soluble in…

The animals that are used for experiments go through horrible tests. According to PETA scientists will “breeds dozens of monkeys every year to be prone to mental illness. Half of the babies are torn away from their mothers in order to inflict mental trauma on them, and they’re never allowed to see each other again. These babies suffer from horrible fear, anxiety, and depression. Their misery leads to hair loss, diarrhea, and even self-mutilation.” In other experiments PETA says that some farming…

Discussion of Results: This experiment consists of three different parts. The main goal of the experiment is to identify the unknown compound the lab group was given. Along with this, the group is to discover the compounds many physical or chemical properties. Lastly, the group is supposed to create and preform two syntheses of the compound and see how they compare and contrast in different areas like costs effectiveness, safety, and potential yield of the compound. Through all of these…

Investigating Properties Lab Ishan Godra SCH4U Lab Partner(s): DeSean Lawrence Ms. Boulougouris 10/31/14 Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to analyze the properties of four different types of solids: ionic, polar covalent, non polar covalent, and metallic Hypothesis It is hypothesized the samples which are shown to be insoluble are likely non polar, while soluble samples are polar. Because of the molecular nature of each type of bond, it is hypothesized that polar…

verified by this law, such as a gain in mass when a substance is heated in an open environment. The ideas of Chapter 5 about separating mixtures were stretched further into this chapter, where groups separated substances further. Additionally, in Experiment 6.7, groups separated a mixture using solubility like it was discussed in Chapter 5. The…

Are you surprised by anything that is said on the website? Why do you think many people are so quick to believe reported statistics? While on the website and reading the article, few things stood out to me. Like many, I was aware of the animal testing epidemic as well as the arguments made by critics and anti-animal testing groups who are opposed to it. However, prior to the article I did not contemplate or think about the issue or even its effectiveness. One thing in which I was surprised by…
