1. Which analytical balance is the more accurate? Why? 2. Which piece of glassware is best at measuring the density of water? 3. What two aspects of the data set you cited in Question 1 define it as “best”? 4. What does “standard deviation” measure? 5. (a) Calculate the standard deviation of the data set you labeled as having the least random error in the first experiment with pure water. (b) Calculate the standard deviation of the data set you labeled as having the MOST random error in the…

It is important to note that the goal of this experiment was to find the pKa value of bromothymol blue, a pH indicator commonly used in titrations. [UNC, 2017] The pKa is where the number of moles of acid to conjugated base are equivalent. To find this, both Beer’s Law and spectroscopy were utilized in an attempt to make graphs to show just where this value occurred. According to Sigma-Aldrich, the pKa of bromothymol blue is approximately 7.10. [SIGMA, 2017] The final pKa found experimental was…

Examined T. californicus ability to handle high temperature stress under short-term, small exposure to high temperature, and long-term, persistant exposure to constant high temperatures. The took populations of T. californicus from 11 pools at different latitudinal gradients in a local scale. They put the specimen in petri dishes with founding adult females. They only mate one time and store the sperm so they can produce many groups of offspring. To test if inbreeding could influence the…

Much of the workflow for ceramics production remains the same over the many years this art form has been practiced. When centuries ago, a potter starting the process workflow of producing a ceramic mug (or more likely a jug), he would go to a river bed and collect the clay. Now, Angel Pottery’s supplier is currently a clay supplier in Amherst, Massachusetts. In this supplier’s factory, they use mixing augurs to produce the raw material clay. From factory to home factory, the clay bags are…

It simply used, a test tube, meniscus, and pipette. Then a 15 cm long sprig of elodea was placed in the test tube, after 2 cm was cut from the stem. The test tube was the filled with sodium bicarbonate solution, with 3 cm left at the top of the test tube. The volumeter stopper was then placed in the test tube. The stopper was the adjusted so the solution extended 1 to 2 cm into the pipette. The volumeter test tube apparatus was then…

Purpose: The objective is to separate the heterogeneous mixture of salt, iron filings, and salt into each pure form using filtration, evaporation, and magnetism. Background: When separating a mixture, preferably to separate a mixture that includes a soluble liquid and a insoluble solid, filtration is the best because solid molecules are bigger than liquid molecules. A filter contains pores that are small enough to let small partials though the pores while holding back the larger particles.…

What’s in This Toothpaste is a formal and informational essay. Bodanis’ essay has an overall explicit thesis, which is to be aware of ingredients in your toothpaste hence the title “What’s in This Toothpaste?” Some background information for the reader would be that Canadian laws require manufacturers to label all ingredients on a product (Bodanis, 10). Bodanis starts by listing the three major ingredients; water, chalk, and titanium dioxide. Next, he describes other enhancing ingredients in the…

First, 1.32 g of isoborneol was mixed with 1.00 mL of glacial acetic acid. The solution was heated to 50° C while 1.70 mL of NaOCl added. Then 15.0 mL of NaOCl was measured into a separatory funnel and added dropwise to the solution for 10 minutes. The flask was sealed while heating and stirring continued. NaOCl in the solution was tested every five minutes using starch-iodide paper for 30 minutes. After 10 minutes, 2.0 mL of NaOCl was added. A total of 6.0 mL of NaOCl was added over a 20 minute…

exhibits physical properties without undergoing any changes in its chemical composition. Different materials have different melting points and thus, they can be identified with ease. Clearly, it was observed that the residue comprised a combination of sodium bicarbonate extracts once the ether had evaporated from the hood. How to Remove Water that was dissolved in Diethyl Ether Water that was dissolved in diethyl ether can be removed using a commercial drying agent such as MgSO4 salt. The…
