Linear Polyester Lab Report

Three paper towels A, B, and C where tested on absorbency. This experiment was tested twice. Paper towel A was 26.5 by 28 centimeters. Paper towel B was 26.5 by 28 centimeters. Paper towel C was 15 by 28 centimeters. Scissors were obtained and each paper towel was cut to 13.5 by 15 centimeters. The weight of the three paper towels at this size was 0.9 grams dry for paper towel A, paper towel B weighed 0.8 grams dry, and paper towel C weighed 1.2 grams. Three beakers weighing 12.2 grams each were obtained. Each beaker was filled with 100ml of water with the outcome of them weighing 128.1 grams each. The weight of each paper towel dry was deducted from the weight of each paper towel. Paper towel A was left to soak for seven seconds.

The mole is a convenient unit for analyzing chemical reactions. Avogadro’s number is equal to the mole. The mass of a mole of any compound or element is the mass in grams that corresponds to the molecular formula, also known as the atomic mass. In this experiment, you will observe the reaction of iron nails with a solution of copper (II) chloride and determine the number of moles involved in the reaction. You will determine the number of moles of copper produced in the reaction of iron and copper (II) chloride, determine the number of moles of iron used up in the reaction of iron and copper (II) chloride, determine the ratio of moles of iron to moles of copper, and determine the number of atoms and formula units involved in

Hypothesis: The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the question will different food sources affect the level of activity of detoxification enzymes in bean beetles? The class alternate hypothesis is different food sources will affect the level of activity of the detoxification enzymes in bean beetles. The null hypothesis is the different food sources will not have any effect on the level of activity of the detoxification enzymes in bean beetles. Experimental design: The independent variables in this experiment were the types of beans (bean 1 was mung beans and bean 2 was adzuki beans) and enzymes assays used.

Polyesters can be made to be a low temperature melting product or a high temperature resistant auto parts.

In this project, C. Elegans are hermaphrodite worms that will be used since they are easy to maintain in lab, as well as have short life cycles. The gene that the project attempted to knockdown in C. Elegans with RNAi treatment is the unc-22 gene. RNAi disrupts gene expression in the presence of double stranded RNA (dsRNA) that is complementary to target gene sequence. The unc-22 gene codes for a muscle protein called twitchin in wild-type worms. The Unc-22 is required for muscle regulation and maintenance in C.Elegans. To verify that the RNAi treatment worked, would check the unc-22 mRNA levels in the worms, in addition to phenotype observation.

Where π1 and π2 are prior probabilities of good and bad credit populations, Q (2∣1) and Q (1∣2) compute the probability of making Type I errors, i.e., a customer with good credit is misclassified as a customer with bad credit, and Type II errors, i.e., a customer with bad credit is misclassified as a customer with good credit, and A (2∣1) as well as A (1∣2) are the corresponding misclassification costs of Type I and Type II errors.

In the clothespin lab, we shot a marshmallow placed on a clothespin by applying force to the longer end of the clothespin and calculated the distance the marshmallow was shot by measuring our pace, walking from the clothespin to the spot where the marshmallow first hit the ground, and then converting the amount of steps (paces) it took to walk to the marshmallow to

2. (5 pts) List and explain the names and affiliations of the various characters/stakeholders in this story – I’m looking for us to use the story to map out the complexities that are generally associated with solving public health puzzles – the stakeholders you list and explain here should apply to many of the cases we consider going forward.

2. When 2.00 g of NaOH were dissolved in 49.0 g water in a calorimeter at 24.0 ˚C, the temperature of the

To be able to complete this experiment various lab instruments were needed. This includes the use of beakers, test tubes, a metal spatula, wooden splints, and a Bunsen burner. The analysis begins with determining the physical traits of the compound. Then 0.15 grams of the unknown substance is mixed with 3 mL of distilled water to test

October 17, 18, and 19, samples were collected from multiple sites along the BSR. The class was split into groups, and samples were collected from seven separate locations along the river and WWTP. There was also a sample collected by the S which is located between sites four and five. For each of these sites, there were ten groups from other labs that also collected a sample from the BSR. At site two of the river, the location included multiple sources of possible contamination. A drainage site was located 200 yards upstream, along with a small PVC drainage pipe next to the collection site. Not only was there drainage running into the river, the site was under a bridge, and contained other trash scattered throughout the area. The

We found that Polypropylene was our 5th unknown. Polypropylene (C3H6) or more commonly referred to as PP, is used for labeling, packaging, textiles, and stationery. In 1957, the crystallization of polymer was discovered. Soon fabric was made from the polymer, and was in high demand. It can also be used for moldings of cars, film, tape, foam and carpet. Polypropylene can not be glued to any objects or itself, and so it is melded. After Polyethylene, Polypropylene is the highest produced synthetic plastic. Polypropylene also holds up well over time, which is one of the reasons that it is the second most produced plastic. The melting point is between 130-171 degrees celsius. Because polypropylene is tough and flexible it can be used as an engineering plastic. Finally, polypropylene can be used be manufactured into a living hinge. A

Studies show that unwashed or lightly rinsed vegetables can harbor pathogenic bacteria and have been implicated in numerous foodborne infections. The objective of this experiment was to obtain a quantitative viable plate count of enteric bacteria present in a sample of broccoli sprout water. To enumerate the number of bacterial colonies present in the sample, we performed serial dilutions of broccoli water spread onto MacConkey Agar plates. MacConkey Agar is a selective and differential media. It is used to select enteric bacteria and differentiate lactose-fermenters from non-lactose fermenters. Utilizing this process illustrated the potential amount of foodborne illness causing bacteria present on foods, specifically fresh broccoli

To calculate the expected number of pipette tips needed per month take the number of pipette tip per sample to multiply it with the average sample analysed per month, 5 x 100 = 500.

The first lab activity was to observe and record the characteristics of each of these fibers through a stain test, a microscope test, a solvent test, and a burn test. The second lab activity was to observe the characteristics of an unknown fiber thread and to identify the fiber by comparing its characteristics to the data from the first activity. The burn test is used to observe the reaction of a
