Discussion Nine of the Burpee Pea Seeds were tested with tap water that had a pH 8 and nine were tested with a lemon juice and water solution that had a pH of 4. of Between days one through four the acid rain and tap water seeds were alike. The seeds were round and tan. On day two the seed coat became squishy. On day three test one seeds two and three of the acid rain and water began to sprout roots, and all of the seeds in test two and three began to sprout. Seeds one, two, and three in the…

Friedreich’s Ataxia (FRDA) is a progressive, degenerative multisystem disease. This is the most common autosomally inherited ataxia with an early age of onset and heterogeneous clinical phenotypes. FRDA patients predominantly show gradual deterioration of nervous system followed by cardiomyopathy and diabetes (Parkinson et al. 2013). The prevalence estimates vary greatly between 1 in 20 000 to 1 in 330 000 depending on the geographic region (Vankan 2013). The majority of the patients (98%) have…

the headstones and a strong scent of sweet smelling roses can be detected at the exact moment of seeing the unexplained image.

Temperature is the measure of hotness expressed in terms of various arbitrary scales such as Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin. The Fahrenheit scale sets 32° as the freezing temperature for water and it assigns 212° the boiling point for water (What is Temperature, 2015) At the temperature of Absolute Zero there is no motion and no heat. Absolute Zero will occur when every atomic and molecular movement ceases and is at the lowest temperature possible. Absolute Zero on the scale is 0 degrees…

He mentions that this project is in fact long term plan for,…

Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), universally referred to as lime water or slaked lime is formed by reacting hydrated lime (calcium oxide, CaO) with water (H2O)[1] CaO (s) + H2O (l) ⇌ Ca(OH)2 (aq) (ΔHr = −63.7 kJ/mol of CaO) Calcium hydroxide is an economically favorable alkaline reagent to neutralize acid as it yields 2 moles of (OH)2 for every 1 mole of Ca(OH)2 (which is slightly soluble in water) when compared to sodium hydroxide [1] and it may separate from the solution ‘constant agitation must…
