what the volume of a mole of H₂(g) is at STP by using gas laws. The hypothesis for the experiment is that if H₂(g) is produced at RT and STP, Avogadro’s law can be used to experimentally determine the amount of H₂(g) because equal gases at the same pressure and temperature have the same amount of particles. In order to find the molar volume, hydrogen gas was produced in a eudiometer tube by reacting magnesium and hydrogen chloride. The results showed that the molar volume of H₂(g) was 27.5L per…

Vitamin A Vitamin A plays a critical role in assuring normal vision and immune function, as well as gene expression and growth (Lukaski, 2004). Vitamin A takes its active form as retinol, which we typically get from foods from animals, such as eggs, liver, dairy products, and fish oil (Benardot, 2006). Beta carotene has been established as a precursor for vitamin A, so consuming foods rich in this carotenoid is another way to obtain vitamin A in the diet (Benardot, 2006). This discussion…

side of the heart is malfunctioning (left or right), it can cause numerous medical problems, such as, dyspnea, fatigue, heart murmurs, JVD, pulmonary edema, pleural effusions, and tachycardia (Lewis, 2014). Next is Hypertension, which is a blood pressure that is a systolic reading greater than 140 mm Hg and a diastolic reading that is greater than 90 mm Hg (Potter & Perry, 2013).

There are multiple kidney diseases that are known to the Medical world, but there will be a discussion about Henoch Shönlein Purpura today. Many young kids have had this Kidney disease and it is not to be taken lightly. At first it comes off as something simple, and it looks like the victim has probably just pulled a muscle, has a fever or has a stomach ache because they are vomiting but no, that is just the beginning of this horrid kidney disease. There are probably many questions going around…

Mass media has exposed 1500 ads daily (Kilbourne, 1979). People are surrounded by advertising that loses negative effects to the daily life of people. Among other media, beauty related ads give stimulus to the many teenage girls. Beauty ads prefer slim and beautiful models to create a visual effect on people. To bring the visual effects to people, the media represents the model as a sex object. Therefore, a teenage girl mimics what they see to make them look like the models in the ads. The media…

The big reasons behind them is the seeking for perfection that comes into account from other fields in their life, the need to stay included in their peer group, peer pressure to maintain their social media profiles, and the accessibility and ease of using social media from anywhere. Therefore the new advancements in technology and continued social standards has made the average teenager more dependent on new devices.…

The sphygmomanometer is used to read our blood pressure. Many of us are aware of this medical machine because we get our blood pressure checked at the doctor’s office. This is important to us because it can let us know of any heart complications such as high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks, or kidney disease. All of these are preventable if caught in time with a doctor’s supervision and medication. Although many of us have seen this device there is a process to using this medical…

Peer Pressure Causing Teen Driving Accidents Becoming a teenager is a major milestone. Differences within one’s body and mind are just a few of the changes that go along with becoming a teenager.

Being influenced so greatly that it affects the behavior, attitude and dress of someone is peer pressure.…

Humans are an incredible race of species compared to the rest of the animal kingdom on our Earth. We have the ability to manipulate our environment to our advantage: we build skyscrapers and cities, we mine out entire mountains, and we also dam up rivers. This power to shape the world in new ways is a gift of our intelligence, but with any great power such as this there is the potential for unintended consequences. We can shape the whole world to our purpose, but what if doing so were changing…

also discusses the idea of the brain’s plasticity and how it affects the connections people have with one another. Parents raise their kids to conform to their expectations, and this becomes mirrored upon our society as a result. Because of this pressure to conform, an individual is overwhelmed by the desire to not be different and uphold standards that are socially acceptable. However, the connections between Solomon’s horizontal identities and Sacks’s and Fredrickson’s arguments about the…
