In the online article, “Vermicompost, the story of organic gold: A review,” the author dives into the benefits of vermicomposting by explaining the basics of the concept, and then digs deeper into the values and assets of this “organic gold.” The article states how vermicomposting not only gets rid of…

Spectrophotometry is a method in which organic and inorganic substances are identified or characterized by the use of electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation not only includes light (or photons), but thermal energy as well. While the electromagnetic spectrum consists of wavelengths between gamma radiation and the Far IR, most spectrophotometric methods rely on the UV and visible region. In order to use spectrophotometric methods, the sample being analyzed must be able to absorb the…

Figure 1 shows the relationship between concentration and absorbance known as the Beer-Lambert law or calibration curve. The data from the made solutions in table 2 was used to create the graph. The graph has a linear trend line that predicts where a point would fall on the graph. The equation of the trend line is equation 7: y=0.9508x-0.0055 with a R2 value of 0.99943. This equation was used to find the true concentration of the made solutions as well as the unknown solution. The R2 value…

Hey Mom, I know you’re dying to know how my semester is going so I thought I’d share with you some of the assignments I’ve been working on. I just finished my first chemistry lab project involving drugs! Yes, drugs, but not the ones you’re thinking about. We worked with Sulfanilamide, Phenacetin, Acetaminophen, and your favorite, Caffeine. The goal for the experiment was to determine where the drugs may reside according to their properties. We learned that there are parts in the cell that are…

1 WRITTEN ESSAY Paragraph 1 The FePO4 crystal is examined at various temperatures ranging between 294K and 1073K by neutron powder diffraction. At relatively low temperatures, FePO4 adopts an α-quartz structure, which is tetrahedral. High pressures causes a phase change to a more dense octahedral structure, which is known as β-phase. The transition temperature is 980K. Cutoffs can be observed during the firstorder transition,. For α-phase, the increases in cell parameters…

Discussion/Scientific Explanation: In order to successfully analyze colas, one must become familiar with a Spectrophotometer 20. In order to do this, one must figure out determine the relationship between the wavelength of light absorbed and the color of a compound. Next, one must determine a way to relate the amount of light absorbed with the concentration of the solution. After gaining knowledge about these two parts of the lab, one will be able to determine how a Spectrophotometer 20 can be…

Introduction: The goal of this lab was for students to learn how to use a spectrophotometer to find the absorbance of four known copper (II) sulfate solutions, four copper (II) sulfate solutions that were created by dilution, and one unknown copper (II) sulfate solution. The purpose of this experiment was to help students learn how to use the Spec-20, which is a machine that measures the transmittance and absorbance of a solution, learn about the linear relationship between absorbance and…

be of great benefit to develop a more effective system to heighten the potential advantages of early diagnosis. Current research involves the use of analytical techniques as diagnostic tools for a variety of chronic illnesses. IR, Raman, and NMR spectroscopy, as well as Mass Spectrometry have been successfully utilized in the detection of brain, bone/joint, and endocrine disorders, as well as genetic disease, syndromes of internal organs, and cancer. These technologies have proven to be more…

Visible Light Communication – Tomorrow’s Technology YASHODHA J K NITHYASHREE N Weir EnSci, Bengaluru Weir EnSci, Bengaluru yashodhajk@gmail.com Nithyashree0292@gmail.com Abstract-The Visible Light Communication (VLC) is an emerging technology, which provides distinct facilities such as fast data communication, secure data communication, high data rate wireless communication, etc. Instead of radio frequency, VLC uses light, to transfer data. The visible light spectrum is unlicensed…

The polar bear is part of the Ursidae family and it’s scientific name is, Ursus Maritimus. It’s physical characteristics are that it is white, six to nine feet and 800 to 1,300 pounds. It feeds upon seals and fish for nutrients. The polar bear population is decreasing drastically because of global warming and is at an all time low of about 22,000. Even though they live most of their lives in the water, their home is on the ice nursing and taking care of their cubs. They were marked as threatened…
