Animal Diversity Report: Comparison of the Nervous and Reproductive Systems of the Compass Jellyfish, Axolotl, Horseshoe Crab, and The Compass Jellyfish (Chrysaora hysoscella) - The Compass Jellyfish (Chrysaora hysoscella) is a species of jellyfish that can be found in cold and temperate waters near the continental shelf regions of the Irish and North Seas, the Mediterranean, and coastal regions of South Africa (Doyle et. al.). The Compass Jellyfish belongs to the Genus Chrysaora and the…

Silver nitrate is a compound with many practical and non-practical uses. Like many other compounds, it is very helpful in discovering the many reactions that lie in our seemingly endless periodic table of elements. A few of the categories that utilize this compound are, laboratory work, manufacturing, biology research, medical history, photography, and even the art of ceramics. Silver nitrate has been known by scientists worldwide to be very helpful in detecting the presence of Chlorine,…

Observation My selected artifact is two photographs that Benson took of the organization MOVE, when they were prevalent in Philadelphia. The first, MOVE 78’, depicts 8 members of the group sitting and standing near a fire that is in a large trash can. They appear in front of a dilapidated house. It seems to be either winter or fall, given that many of the members are wearing what seem to be thick coats and the trees are bare. The group consists of mostly males and it is unclear what has been…

Discussion of Results During the first week the goal was to determine the unknown compound. In order to determine the unknown compound, many tests were performed testing the solubility, pH level, conductivity, cations present (flame test), and the anions present in the compound. The anion test had positive results for the sulfate test due to the formation of a white precipitate, indicating the presence of a sulfate ion. For the sulfate test the unknown solution, potassium sulfate, and combining…

Carnitine is a chemical compound biosynthesized from the amino acids lysine and methionine. It is found throughout all cells in your body. Carnitine is used in producing energy for your body by transporting long-chains of fatty acids into the mitochondria so they can be burned to produce energy. Carnitine is also responsible for transporting the toxic compounds out of the mitochondria to prevent buildup. Skeletal tissues and cardiac muscles use high levels of fatty acids so these tissues are…

For the second single replacement reaction experiment, zinc metal is place in a 2mL of hydrochloric acid solution; during this reaction, bubbles are forming inside the test tube which indicates the formation of gas. After the reaction, the HCl solution appears to still have bubbles in its presence and the zinc metal is fizzing. In this reaction, the zinc reacts with the hydrochloric acid to form zinc chloride and hydrogen gas (equation 10). For the first double replacement reaction, barium…

Fritz Haber was a German chemist who won the Nobel Prize in 1918 for "improving the standards of agriculture and the well-being of mankind". Yet the same process that landed him the highest honor for saving many lives ended up taking just as many away. He threw himself into the World War I by making bombs out of the love of his country. In the Radiolab Podcast about Haber and "What's Eating America" by Michael Pollard talks about how hard it is to place Haber under the category of good or evil.…

Lab 9: Preparation of an Iron Oxalate Complex. POST-LAB: RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 1. Write a brief summary of your experiment. The experiment was conducted by creating a K3Fe(C2O4)33H2O solution using DI water, 3.501 g of iron (II) ammonium sulfate, H2C2O, K2C2O4, and H2O2. 5 ml of ethanol was dispensed within the solution to aid in the crystallization of the oxalate. The results of the experiment did not provided crystals of the oxalate rather crystals of impurities formed within the solution…

LONG LASTING SOOTHING RELIEF: Generously sized, the flexible cold pack provides 30 minutes of ice therapy for targeted pain relief. Relaxes and soothes sore muscles and helps to relieve acute and chronic pain, arthritis, inflammation, swelling, scratches, sprains and strains. Additionally, the ice pack reduces pain and swelling during the recovery post or pre-surgery. The extra-large cold pack is sized to provide adequate coverage for the back, hip, abdomen and thigh. FLEXIBLE COLD THERAPY:…

I am writing to you to give you information about what compound is best for a cold pack and why. In a cold pack, what you want is an endothermic reaction, in which heat is absorbed, and not an exothermic reaction, in which heat is released. After researching and testing multiple compounds, I have concluded that Ammonium Nitrate is the best compound for a cold pack. One of the most important factors in choosing a compound for a cold pack is how cold it will get, because of this, Calcium…
