Tin Foils Lab Report
Results. For our experiment, we started with a piece of tin foil that measured 13.5 cm long by 11.5 cm wide. We fashioned that piece of tin foil into a flat-bottomed ship which measured 11 cm long by 8.5 cm wide by 1 cm high. We calculated the volume of our ship to be by multiplying the length by the width by the height which gave us a volume of 85 cm3 We then calculated the predicted number of pennies it would take to sink our ship by taking the volume of our ship and multiplying it by the density of water using the following formulas and then dividing that result by the weight of a penny (2.5g) which we rounded to 37 pennies. After we had our prediction of how many pennies it would take to sink our ship, we placed the ship into a container

    We were given a piece of tin foil to make into our ship. We formed a rectangular flat-bottomed ship with short sides all around it from our piece of tin foil. Next, using the formula to find the volume of an object, we calculated the volume of the ship that we had created. Then, to get our prediction, we used a calculation that took the volume of our ship, multiplied the volume of our ship by the density of the water and divided that answer by the weight of a penny. After that, we placed our ship into a container of water, and keeping an accurate count, placed one penny at a time into our ship until it sank to the bottom of the container of water. After that, we subtracted the predicted number of pennies from the actual number of pennies to…

    Step 2: The materials remaining are milk jugs, aluminum soda cans, and soda bottles. The next step involves the large water tank and nets for skimming the materials out of the bottom of the tank. Next, I simply put the rest of the materials in the tank. The only material that should float should be the milk jugs because they are less dense than the water. The milk jugs are 0.9 grams per cubic centimeter, the water is 1 gram per cubic centimeter. The aluminum soda cans and soda bottles sink because they are more dense than water. The aluminum soda cans are 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter and the soda bottles are 1.4 grams per cubic centimeter. If an object is more than 1.00 grams per cubic centimeter it will sink. If an object is under 1.00 grams per cubic centimeter it will float. The workers then take out the milk jugs floating above the water with their skimmers.…

    INTRODUCTION There are many reasons for knowing the identity of microorganisms. The reasons range from the knowing the causative agent of a disease to knowing the correct microorganism in order to make antibiotics. This study was done by applying the following methods; OF Glucose, Indole Production, and Malonate Utilization test for the identification of an unknown bacterium. The methods will assist in determining the unknown bacterium found in a 55 year old male that was passing blood and mucous in his stool. The patient had no pain but mild discomfort during bowel movements. The doctor noted inflammation of the lining of the rectum. The doctor removed a tissue sample for examination and referred the patient to a gastroenterologist for a barium xray and colonoscopy. While utilizing the methods stated above, the bacterium found was a facultative anaerobe due to the Gram Negative Rods, fermentation, and the production of indole. The specific Gram Negative Enteric Bacilli was Shigella dysenteriae. There are many reasons for knowing how to control bacterial growth as well as such as antimicrobial drugs, which assist the body’s defenses against pathogens. Microorganisms are capable of causing infection or spoilage. Controlling bacterial growth is important in poultry farm businesses that use equipment to decontaminate processing plant fluids before disposal. During quality control and safety evaluations, bacteria growth that needs to be controlled can be found. While controlling bacterial growth, clusters of Gram Positive Cocci were found. It was found some ways to control bacterial growth were disinfection, sterilization, antisepsis, sanitization, moist and dry heat, filtration, and radiation; just to name a few. The specific method used for control depends on various circumstances.…
