    small values (molecular and atomic size) in different phases, such as a gas, liquid, and solid by using practical methods. If the molar mass is known, one can estimate the atomic size through practical measuring techniques with little experimental error. This experiment consists of measuring a block of a solid element (Copper and Zinc), measuring the volume of the lead pellets, and measuring the amount of carbon dioxide gas in a balloon. These experiments will allow one to estimate the atomic or

    impact the compressed oxygen Respiratory Therapists handle every day, effect the work and outcome of breathing in the human body. The gas law, Charles’ Law, demonstrates the relationship between a contained volume of gas and its temperature, a directly proportional relationship. It states that in a contained space, if a gas’ temperature were to increase, the volume of the gas would increase as well (Colbert, et al., 2012). Charles’ Law is confirmed every day inside and outside a hospital, and it is especially

For example potassium, magnesium, aluminum K) Cooking oils and greases such as animal fats and vegetable fats Why each so specific: Water and foam: extinguishes fire by taking away the element of fire from the fire triangle. The foam separates the element of oxygen away from the fire and the other elements. Water fire extinguishers are only used for class A fires for wood, paper, soft furniture, textiles, and clothing. It should not be used on class B for it would spread

    Furthermore, to switch from a liquid to a gas, a process known as evaporation must take place. In contrast, to go from a gas to a liquid, condensation must take place. Furthermore, sublimation must take place for a solid to turn to a gas. Inversely, deposition must occur for a gas to change to a solid. Melting takes place when a solid gets enough energy to melt. When it gets enough energy it is called the melting point. An example of melting would be snow turning into water. The reverse of the melting process

  • The Detection of Ammonia Using Gas Sensros

    747 Words  | 2 Pages

    Detection of ammonia can be done using gas sensors. Examples of different application areas of ammonia gas sensing are; environmental monitoring, medical diagnostics, chemical laboratories and detection of ammonia in portable water and wastewater (Timmer et al., 2005). High concentrations of ammonia are easy to detect while for very low concentrations we require different gas sensors operating at different sensing principles. Ammonia gas sensors operate at different temperatures each having a specific

  • Fermentation Experiment

    increase in the temperature of the water in which fermentation occurs, will increase the rate at which fermentation happens, due to the dependence on temperature. With a rise in temperature less activation energy is needed, thus the rate of fermentation will increase. Throughout the course of the experiment, many trials served as the basis of the pre-existing assumption that an increase in temperature would lead to an increase in the rate of fermentation. Cold water, water at room temperature as

    Science Rocket Experiment By : Julia Sánchez Background Information: This experiment is about firing a rocket, we are creating hydrogen gas. We had to fill the bottle with hydrogen gas and then put a flame under the bottle and measure how much it flew upwards. To do this we mixed magnesium strips into hydrochloric acid. A combustion reaction takes place in this experiment. The investigation topic is about the fuel that makes a space rocket fire. A combustion reaction is more known as burning

    to make sure that the conditions are exactly the same for all the different concentrations. Another way to ensure more accurate results is to take repeat readings and then average out the answers so the results are exact. The temperature of the water also affects how well the enzyme works. Enzymes cannot function as well in a temperature that is too hot or cold from their natural temperature. Using a thermometer is important to keep this temperature constant. The slices of potato should also

  • Lab Experiment: The Effect of Temperature and Respiration

    cellular respiration. ATP is needed to power the cell processes. If cells are denied energy they will die. The second law of thermal dynamics says energy is lost in the form of heat whenever energy changes form. ATP is stored. Glucose produced C02, water and ATP. Respiration may be said to be a controlled breakdown of glucose that produces ATP for cell activities to be carried out. The purpose of the lab was to show the effect of temperature on the rate of respiration. Temperature increases the rate

  • What Affects the Rate of Breakdown of Hydrogen Peroxide by Enzymes

    the reaction with hydrogen peroxide will also be high. This is because the amount of yeast that can react with the hydrogen peroxide can get no higher and will have the maximum affect on the reaction. If the concentration is more in favour of water then the amount of oxygen produced will be slow because there is not as much yeast to react with the hydrogen peroxide, giving less oxygen. If the temperature is not in favour of the limits to the yeast then the amount of oxygen produced will be

The more vigorous the reaction the more froth that it creates. The reaction in the experiment: Hydrogen peroxide „³ oxygen + water 2H2O2 „³ O2 + H2O The enzyme can be used around the body to help chemical reactions, it speeds them up!

    substrate. The substrate I am going to use is Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2, water with another Oxygen), this molecule usually breaks down on its own accord, but also the rate of decomposition can be increased with the use of a catalyst; in this case the catalyst is a biological one called an enzyme. Hydrogen Peroxide slowly breaks down on its own accord into water (H2O) and oxygen (O2): 2 H2O2 à 2H2O + O2 Hydrogen Peroxide à Water + Oxygen In my experiment, I want to investigate the rate of reaction

    as Cumbria). In school he was so successful that at the age of 12 he became a Teacher. In 1785 he became one of the principles and in 1787 he made a journal that was later made into a book, describing his thoughts on mixtures of gases and how each gas acted independently and the mixtures pressure (which is the same as the gases volume if it had one). Therefore the law of partial pressures was made. It is said that in 1790, Dalton?s aims were to pick up in law or medicine, but he got no encouragement
