Dissociation

I grew up with a friend that had many imaginary friends. While most children play pretend she always took it to another level. As a small child I never understood why she would act the way that she did, or do the things that she did. She was always getting into trouble and blaming it on “Bob or Tom”, her imaginary friends. Later on in life she was diagnosed with “DID” or Dissociative Identity Disorder (Multiple Personality Disorder). I do not believe that mental illnesses are over diagnosed or…

and knowledge by watching the things going on in their daily lives; therefore, people’s thoughts can be influenced by the context unconsciously. Psychological dissociation is one result from misunderstanding context. By talking about one of her case studies, Julia’s psychological dissociation, Stout introduces the reason Julia has dissociation: “when she (Julia) was a child, Julia had lived in a house of horrors, with monsters jumping out at her without warning and for no apparent reason, except…

Oxyhemoglobin Dissociation Curve A oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve is a tool used to show the relationship between the saturation of oxygen and the partial pressure of oxygen. It directly tells us how a person own body is utilizing oxygen intake, how carbon dioxide levels are being regulated, as well as how efficient the hemoglobin in our body binds and release oxygen molecules to the appropriate tissues that require it. Normally the oxygen that our tissues need in order to function properly…

In Robert J. McDonald and Norman M. White’s article, “A Triple Dissociation of Memory Systems,” they explain how the memory system works. The memory system is made of three major region areas of the brain: the hippocampus, amygdala, and dorsal striatum. The hippocampus region is to gain information about the relationships between stimuli. Stimuli is an action that alerts physiological or psychological activity (freedictionary.com). In learning areas, this relation sip helps lower doubtfulness…

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (Dissociation Disorders) there is not cured for dissociation disorders; however, therapy and medication could help the individual to live almost a normal life. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (Dissociation Disorders) states that the main of any treatment for dissociation disorders is to nurture individuals into recalling their difficult and traumatic experiences while developing skills to cope with painful memories. The other goal is…

which has four binding sites for biotin or biotinylated derivatives with extraordinary affinity. Biotin can be chemically coupled to a binder molecule (e.g., a protein, DNA, hormone, etc.) without disturbing the interaction with its target molecule by a procedure called biotinylation. Avidin can then be exploited to “sandwich” between the biotinylated binder and a targeting molecule or probe. Avidin was also coupled with a functional moiety in some cases. Through the avidin-biotin system, we can…

HCl has a high dissociation constant which means it releases all the hydrogen atoms when dissolved in water whereas, CH3COOH has a low dissociation constant which means it dissociates incompletely, releasing only some hydrogen when dissolved in water. Also, it was evident in the experiment where electricity was passes through the…

concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-) depend on equilibrium coefficients of acid (Ka) and base (Kb). Equation 1 shows the chemical dissociation equation of a weak acid. Furthermore, Equation 2 describes the equilibrium constant of a weak acid. On the other hand, Equation 3 and Equation 4 illustrate the chemical equation for the dissociation and equilibrium constant of a weak base. HA ↔ H+ + A-…………………………………………………. Equation 1 Ka=[H+][A-]/[HA]……………………………………………… Equation 2…

B. Buffers. 1. Two solutions, A. being 1.0 x HCl, and B. being 0.10 M will be given, as well as buffer solution 1 M NaOH. 2. Have 25 mL of solution A. and B. in two separate beakers. 3. Check the pH of both solutions without any NaOH first. Then begin checking pH after 1 drop, then after 10 drops, and lastly 25 drops. After each set of drops be sure to mix solutions. 4. Compare both sets of pH to determine which had an easier time resisting change. C. Titration curves. 1. Insert NaOH into…

the literature value which was given to be 7.9*10^-8. (See equation 4) Results and Discussion In this lab the experimental pKa value was determined to be 7.21 and the average Ka was determined to be 6.17x10^-8. This value shows that through he dissociation of the hydronium in the solution it made the solution more acidic than a basic solution. The previously determined Ka gave a percent error of -21.91%, this error could be due to several reasons including, but limited too: calibrating the ph…
