ammonia. What was found is that the results for all three tests fitted within the recommended guidelines for healthy waterways. These results re overall indicating that the river is not polluted. Introduction: This report is has been completed in order to determine if Freshwater Creeks water quality meets the current standards, is classified as polluted or is declining…
paper was added to the jar that had been soaked in the solvent in order to saturate the air inside the sealed jar to prevent evaporation from the plate. The jar was left sealed for about five minutes to ensure air saturation while the TLC plates were prepared for use. A line was drawn two centimeters from the bottom of the silica plates with a pencil (ink would be carried up the plate and interfere with results) and care was used in order to ensure that the plates were not touched, which would…
Show Your Hair Some TLC: 10 Ways To Fight Frizz Pouf, frizz and split ends: There are a million different ways we can damage our hair, whether it's from hair dye, heat styling, a weekly swim or just being out in the sun without SPF.

Regular Cuts: Split ends are the beginning of frizz, so stop…
Chromatography is a process used to separate molecules on the basis of chemical or physical properties, such as molecular mass, charge, or hydrophobicity. (Ninfa 121) There are many types of chromatography processes that can be used in different experiments and scenarios. These chromatography processes on include Gel filtration, ion exchange, and high pressure liquid chromatography. However, in this laboratory session the process of affinity chromatography is utilized to purify a His-tagged…
In case study five, Fred is a healthy 44-year-old male, who after working outside in the heat started to complain of excruciating back, stomach, and groin pain. Further symptoms included diaphoresis, nausea and vomiting along with intermittent relief from the pain. Fred’s wife took him to the hospital in which an abdominal radiograph which revealed a right renal calculus in the ureter (urolithiasis). Renal Calculi formation Renal calculi are the most common form of upper urinary tract…
would be affected by this but the loss of communication would be the most detrimental to maintaining the society. Second, there must be a protective regulator, like the police officer, to maintain daily order between the individual members. When there are not enough police officers to maintain order, opportunity opens for individuals with destructive behaviors to cause havoc within a society. Their destruction harms other individual members, systems, and eventually, the entire society. The body…
of this experiment is to synthesize a bromohexane compound from the addition of 1-hexene and HBr(aq) under reflux conditions. The product is then isolated and the regiochemistry is analyzed using chemical tests and known standards (1 Br, 2 Br) in order to determine if Markovnikov’s rule is followed. In general, Alkenes are able to undergo addition reactions due to the strength of their C-C -bond (60-65 kcal/mol) which is lower than the strength of a typical -bond (80-100 kcal/mol) between Carbon…
EXPERIMENT: The effect of an acidic fluid on the activity of an enzyme INTRODUCTION: There are several factors that may influence the activity of an enzyme to include temperature and the pH levels. In order to better understand how the pH level affects the actions of an enzyme, the experiment will introduce different foods with acids and bases through mixture of direct contact. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this experiment is to recognize how the introduction of an acid affects the activities of…
released into the water sources are often inorganic substances, and the dissolved forms of these compounds can become ionic cations and anions. An increase in specific cations, like the positive ion H+ can be especially detrimental to bodies of water due to it’s a contribution towards ocean acidification. These acidic waters are then characterized by low alkalinity, conductivity and ionic content…
film play a major role in the use of thin films. The effects caused by sizing depends on the boundary conditions that act as limit to ferroelectric phase. The effects of sizing can be formation of Schottky between the ferroelectric and the electrode, ionic mobility defects, domain and switching. Strain Strain occurs because of the mismatch in the lattice structure involving the film and the substrate. The strain shows that mechanical boundary conditions also distorts the ferroelectric…
