Original Hypothesis: Prior to performing any measurements or calculations in the lab, it was originally hypothesized that the 10 mL volumetric pipette would be the most precise and most accurate instrument, while the 10mL graduated cylinder would be the least precise and least accurate instrument. Sample Calculation: For the 10 mL volumetric pipette, three weight of water measurements were taken by first weighing a beaker on the scale, measuring 10 mL of water with a volumetric pipette,…

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…

article examines “laboratory operations” and “clinical pathology knowledge processes” to discuss the need for clinical pathologist to implement an institutional model through unified laboratory networks to protect their services. The author utilizes strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) methodology to study data processes and propose future strategies for clinical pathologist and laboratories to build laboratory service networks that offer exceptional organized laboratory…

Sterile Saline (0.9% w/v NaCl) Dissolve 9.0gm of NaCl in 1000ml water and dispense 9.0ml of the solution into 20ml test tubes. Autoclave the tubes as per the validated cycle and cool to room temperature. Sterile saline with polysorbate 80: Dissolve 9.0gm of NaCl in 1000ml water and add .5gm of tween 80 to the resulting saline solution, dispense 9.0 ml of the solution into a number of 20ml test tubes. Autoclave the tubes Preparation of Inoculums and its Standardization: 1) Take loop full of…

In this lab, we did four kind of different test, to mimic the chemistry of digestion. The first one was to test for sugar. We used a dropper and measured 2 ml of maltose and 2 ml of benedict’s solution in a pyrex test tube. After, using a test tube holder, we placed the test tube in a boiling water bath and heated for 5 min. After the 5 min, using a test tube holder we removed the test tube from the water bath. We then repeated the same procedure using starch solution instead of maltose. When we…

“Contrary to what the stereotypes suggest, not all doctors think they are the only ones with the answers. In fact, more than 70 percent of physician’s decisions are based on laboratory results”(Katz). While the doctors may have a good idea about the diagnosis based upon their past experience and expertise, the definitive and final diagnosis always rests with the pathologist. Although clinical pathology is a very important medical field it does not always get the recognition it deserves, one of…

Reflection Paper Being completely undecided in my career path, and since I have taken all of the available chemistry classes, when the opportunity to job shadow a water operator at the Emlenton Water Treatment Plant arose, I took advantage of it. Even with my knowledge in chemistry, I went into the experience knowing only that they use chemicals, such as chlorine, to treat the water from the river. I came out of the experience with a more selective career path and a much greater knowledge and…

Chlorine is a chemical added to swimming pools to keep the water free of bacteria and algae. Chlorine levels in swimming pools vary based on how much chlorine has already been used to remove bacteria and how much sunlight has broken down the chlorine molecules. This means that pool owners spend a lot of time testing and adjusting the levels of chlorine in their pools. To reduce the amount of time spent on pool maintenance, pool chemical manufacturer's created chlorine tablets. These tablets are…

How to change a cartridge Shower Delta ? The valve cartridge in the Delta Faucet regulates the temperature and controls the flow of water coming into the faucet through a line of hot and cold water. Water temperatures inconsistent, a leaky faucet and the loss of water flow to the shower, all the problems are caused by a cartridge valve for damage and wear. The shower handle is fixed to the front end of the valve cartridge. To remove the valve cartridge, the handle and the rest of the tap is…

2. Experimental 2.1. Materials and reagents Analytical grade bentazon was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Acetonitrile, methanol, ethanol, chloroform and acetic acid were purchased from Merck and were analytical or HPLC grade. Methacrylic acid (MAA) as the functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) as the cross-linker and α,α′-Azoisobutyronitrile (AIBN) were purchased from Merck (Hohenbrunn, Germany). MAA was distilled under vacuum to remove the inhibitor prior to polymerization.…
