Toxicity Testing and Determining the LC50 Introduction This report discusses an experiment of Toxicity test done in Richland lab to determine the LC50, a test that is used to find out what concentration of a substance in this case household chemicals that will kill 5o percent of the population of the brine shrimps, with the exposure household chemicals such as , Ammonia, Bleach, and Vinegar, and the morality with each solutions. I and my group splitte the Brine shrimps into 4 containers,…
neurotoxin has been found in many new shellfish. Phytoplankton produces a natural acid called Domoic acids which in small doses it's harmless. However, when it is produced in excess it becomes poisonous to people. "The shellfish that eat these algae blooms don't seem to be affected by the toxin," said Morgaine McKibben, a Ph.D. student at the University of Oregon. But when other animals eat the shellfish they are affected in a very negative way. When it is ingested, it can…

consult the table of solubility rules to see whether or not a precipitate will form. As evident from using gravimetric analysis in the second task, choosing a compound with low insolubility proves very difficult to filter and separate from the filtrate, therefore, resulting in needing to filter the precipitate more than once and still ending up with a low percentage yield and high error calculation. However, the contamination of a precipitate does not significantly alter the results for…
ensemble sizes of $10$, $25$ and $50$, and compared it to a particle filter having a particle (ensemble) size of $50$ $100$ and $500$ and $1000$ by computing the mean square error (MSE) of the estimate of $x_n$ as egin{equation} MSE = frac{1}{M}sumlimits_{n=1}^{M}(x_n-{hat x}_n)^2 label{MSE} end{equation} Figure ( ef{figure1}) shows the plot of one realization of the estimate obtained from EnKF of ensemble size $50$ and particle filter of ensemble size $1000$. egin{figure}[htpb]…
The drift error of DVL and the low rate measurements of USBL are fused using the proposed filter and a more precise estimate of velocity, position and orientation of this vehicle is produced. The USBL measurements and the DVL measurements are fused using a particle filter to give a geo-referenced position estimate without drifting in [17]. An information filter is used in [18] for USBL and DVL data fusion while dealing with the delays caused by the acoustic communication 3)…
Experimental: Materials – double salt (self-made & EIU Chemistry Stockroom), 6 M HCl (EIU Chemistry Stockroom), 10% BaCl2, 6 M HNO3 (EIU Chemistry Stockroom) Equipment – Ocean Optics Spectrometer USB4000, Logger Pro Procedure – In order to find the mass percent of the sulfate, the sulfate needed to separate itself from the rest of the double salt. To do this, experimenters began by weighing out 0.998 g of the double salt into a 250-mL beaker. They then used the graduated cylinder to add about…

Every day use and seasonal weather changes can be damaging to the life and luster of your vehicle. Pollen buildup in the spring, the hot and humid temperatures in the summer and cold winter weather can take a toll on your car's appearance and performance. Protecting your car and the investment you've made is critical. You rely on your vehicle for many reasons. Whether it is transportation to work everyday, the means of getting the kids to their games or after-school activities or for…
The purpose of this experiment was to calculate the percent yield of copper after conducting series of chemical reactions. To study the % yield of copper in the copper cycle, the initial mass and final mass of copper was measured. The chemical reactions involved in the copper cycle are dissolution, precipitation, dehydration, and oxidation/reduction. First, copper was reacted with in a beaker to form (aq) and . The purpose of the dissolution reaction is to convert the copper into solutes in…
