Bast was immersed in 0.85% solution of Triton X-100 at 40 ⁰C for 10 min, followed by soaking in sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution at varies concentrations (1, 2 4, 6 and 8%) at 100 ⁰C for 60 min. For enzymatic retting, the fiber was treated with chelating agent, enthylenediamine-tetraacetic acid, then immersed in 0.85% solution of Triton X-100 at…
1.7.3.4. Hydrogen sulphid test (MacFaddine, 1980): Tubes of triple sugar iron agar media were inoculated by suspected culture through stabbing into the butt and the slant then covered with sterile melted paraffin wax and incubated anaerobically for 48 h at 37°C, appearance of blackening in the butt indicates H2S production. 1.7.3.5. Sugar fermentation test (Willis, 1977): Suspected culture was inoculated to 1% peptone water tubes containing 2% bromocresol purple and 1% quantities of the…
Day 2 of the experiment utilized Figure 5 to determine the metal cations present in an unknown solution #112. Each metal cation was confirmed or denied with ease, with the 2 cations present within Unknown #112 were correctly identified. Thus, Figure 5 was an accurate schematic to implement in this experiment. Following Figure 6, Unknown #112 was first added to HCl, forming a white, snow-like precipitate. The solution was decanted and separated to test the precipitate and solution, both of…
African American women go through trial and error just to make sure their hair meet society standards. In the late 1940s, St. Paul, Minneota chemist and Jose Braquiel Calva invented the "chemical straightener", known as a hair relaxer today, has became very popular in the black communities over the years (Thompson 1). . Hair relaxers are designed to “glorify” and straighten the hair in a fast and easy process. Since the creation of hair relaxers, straight hair has been one of the many…
The substance was stirred until dissolved. The liquid solution produced a blue color as soon as the cupric sulfate dissolved. Prior to this 1.127 grams of Zinc was gathered along with Hydrochloric acid. Both the Zinc and Hydrochloric acid were poured in gradually creating a reaction. A stirring rod was used to stir this while the reaction occurred. Figure 2 shows…
phenolphthalein reacting with sodium hydroxide consists of C20H14O4+ NaOH → NaKC8H4O4 (aq)+ H2O(l) Phenolphthalein is used as an indicator in this reaction because it changes color when a solution reaches a pH of around eight, or in other words the endpoint of a solution. It also allows us to see a physical change, thus resulting in a more accurate measure of how much was titrated. Citric acid is a weak acid, making it best titrated by using a strong base, such as sodium hydroxide. The…

(a) (b) (a) (b) 3. 1 Potentiodynamic polarization test of Mg-Zn-RE and Mg-Zn-RE-xCa alloys Potentiodynamic polarization test in Kokubo solution was carried out to evaluate the bio-degradation behavior of Mg-Zn-RE and Mg-Zn-RE-xCa alloys. The results (Fig. 1) revealed that the corrosion potential, Ecorr of Mg-Zn-RE alloy was -1841 mV, which…
Sultra the Vixen is a combination curling iron, hot air brush and dryer all in one sleek and beautiful volumizing package. While some other hot air brushes need to be used on slightly damp hair, or require product on dry hair, the Vixen uses hot air to heat the ceramic barrel. This creates a combination of hot air brush and curling iron that can be used on dry or damp hair. Instead of spending over an hour sectioning, blow drying, and curling your hair, you can achieve a beautiful blowout look…
