distances from the light source. Our experiment followed the Biology 152 Photosynthesis Lab. We varied the distance from the leaves and the light source. Our distances we tested were 0, 12, and 24 inches from the light source. This experiment is important in the real world in green houses. The goal is to have plants grow and they can do this by placing plants close to a light source to ultimately get the best rate of photosynthesis. Our hypothesis for this experiment is as the distance from the…
dangers: flammable and combustible chemicals (alcohol, sodium), oxidation (hair dye), bio hazardous products (which causes AIDS, rabies), toxic items (lead, benzene), poison (carbon monoxide), corrosive compounds (bleach), dangerously reactive chemicals (fluorine) and compressed gas (propane, CO2). Regarding this experiment, the there is always a possibility for mishaps and the like occurring that range from stains onto clothing to the irritation of the eyes. Chemicals such as copper (II)…
phase and gets mixed in with the precipitation causing the overall pH to slowly decrease (J. Kieber et al., 2005). A decrease in rainwater pH has negative effects on the environment. Rain covers the Earth's surface affecting everything on in. An experiment on bean plants showed that acidic rain has several impacts on plant behavior and function. Plants that were exposed to acidic rain demonstrate a decrease in growth rate. The bean plants displayed reduced…
Well, the reason why I did it was because, later during the experiment, I decided to change my project from “How does the amount of leavening and liquid base affect a cupcake?” to “How does the amount of leavening affect a cupcake?” The reason I changed my project was because originally, it was to use a cake mix since…
After the catalytic action, carbon dioxide, oxygen, vapor and NOX will remains as the byproduct leading to the exhaust end. This type of catalytic converter is widely used in diesel engines to reduce hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions. These are also used on gasoline engines in American and Canadian market automobiles until 1981. Because of their failure to control…
Experiment 1: Scientific Writing and Integrity Procedure 1. A Molecular Explanation of How the Fog is Produced when Dry Ice is placed in Water The main goal of the article written is to try to figure out where the dry ice-in-water-fog (DIWF) was coming from, for there has been discussion if the fog is coming from the water or if it is coming from the dry ice being sublimed. In their terms, they hope “to describe on molecular terms what may be happening in this demonstration” (644). Researchers…
Determining the Rate of Photosynthesis and the Effect That pH Has on It Abstract - The purpose of this experiment was to determine what variables affect the rate of photosynthesis. The variable tested was the pH level of the “environment” and this was tested using leaf discs from a plant. By testing the leaf discs in different pH levels of two, four, six, eight, and ten, it was found that the rate of photosynthesis was at its highest in a pH of six. It was also found that the rate of…
than solutions. It is understandable that humans are concerned with the radical way in which the world’s climate is changing; what is not understandable is the mentality that we should treat the whole planet as a guinea pig and start performing experiments without certainty of what the results would be. The geo-engineering technology consists not on solving the methods and procedures in which corporations mass-produce…
cis-4-cyclohexene-1,2- dicarboxylic anhydride. Once the product is collected a melting point test is run and the temperature should be 97°C-103°C. Based on the experimental melting range of this experiment coming out to be 99.7°C-100.1°C this experiment can be deemed a success because the experimental range falls right in the middle of the actual melting range. Procedure The first few steps in this experiment involve constructing the apparatus shown in the lab book with a reflux condenser,…
First off, life contains many elements, but the seven main ones are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, potassium, and phosphate. Many living things on Earth contain these elements in order to survive. Second, life contains many cells. Our bodies are made up entirely of cells. Cells separate itself from the universe…
