Titration

1. Introduction and background The experiment that will be conducted is the preparation of benzoic acid. Benzoic acid is a carboxylic acid and this has been established in the 16th century. The molecular structure of benzoic acid can be seen in the following figure. Figure 1 – Molecular Structure Benzoic acid is used to prepare esters with the very high boiling points and is used as plasticisers. Plasticisers are compounds that are added to plastics to…

preceptorship within the critical care environment, in which I implemented care for two, critically ill, patients. I performed continual comprehensive assessments, cardiac dysrhythmia interpretation, arterial line medication administration/ maintenance, titration of critical/ vasoactive medications, assisted with the initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and cardiac defibrillation. While attending UNCP I became efficient at utilizing: evidence based practice, Quality and Safety…

Temperature is one of the most important factors that affect an organism’s metabolic rates. In ectothermic organisms, their metabolic rate depends on the external environmental conditions. If temperature increases, so will their metabolic rates. Endothermic organisms do not depend on external conditions but rather can produce and maintain the generated heat within their systems to maintain their bodies at a constant temperature. If temperatures increase or decrease above or below the desired…

It is fascinating how our complex biology allows each being to be adapted to Earth’s nature, providing remarkable talents to the human race. My awareness of the plentiful imperfections, such as genetic mutations, among our species has urged me to further my understanding of what causes these malfunctions and the consequent events that follow. Hence, my subject of choice complements my desire to reveal the methods by which ordered assemblies of molecular sequences drive such incredible beings to…

indicate whether or not there are any water quality problems in Barnegat Bay in a specific season, for example, high total nitrogen values in the spring compared to the other seasons. In order to test dissolved oxygen, the Winkler titration method will be used. The Winkler titration method is considered the most accurate way to measure dissolved oxygen. The LaMotte R-5860 kit can be used to measure dissolved oxygen, which can be obtained from the LaMotte website. In order to test this parameter,…

Practicals, such as titrations, provided me with essential laboratory skills and techniques for example, the importance of accuracy in all scientific roles. Mathematics has taught me how to analyse and interpret data in order to form a clear conclusion, an important skill. Encountering…

Case reports and small studies demonstrated efficacy with ketamine use in patients non-responsive to treatment with opioids.1-3 The use of ketamine reduced the dose of opioids required and in some cases, enhanced quality of life at the end of care.1-3 A protocol for ketamine use in palliative care is available, however it was last revised in 2002.4 A lack of published evidence exists on large, randomized, controlled trials due to the patient population that requires IV ketamine for palliative…

convert into hydrolyzed. Theory Kinetics reaction analyzes the how fast the chemical reaction occurs when two solution mix together. Chemical reaction is changing their properties and reagents concentration which create new products. There is a titration method to check the kinetic reaction. For example, of chemical equation as aA + bB → cC+ dD This equation describes the general term in rate of concentration. A and B is the reactant and C and D is the product thus, expresses the proportion. K…

Donald Trump’s victory in the 2016 presidential election signals a victory for women. Yes, you read that correctly. Let me explain. It was December, right before winter break. Half of the class was fantasizing about skiing down Donner Slope. The other half? They’re literally skiing. My AP literature teacher had just handed back our essays, and was battling valiantly- but futilely- to get our attention. The class averaged somewhere between the second and third letter of the alphabet. I…

Using the P22 phage, a lysate was prepared for the transduction of chloramphenicol resistance from a resistant S. typhimurium LT2 strain to a sensitive strain of S. typhimurium. It is believed that P22 phages package 44 kb of chromosomal DNA at random with a 2% frequency and a 2% chance of homologous recombination events occurring (MIC302 lab manual). S. typhimurium has a chromosome length of approximately 4,857 kb, so it was calculated that 0.00036% is the percent chance that the gene for…
