MEASURING pH Date of Lab: 02/09/13 Date Report submitted: 02/26/13 Purpose of the experiment By doing this experiment‚ we were trying to learn how to measure a pH with a pH meter to determine whether a solution is weakly‚ moderately or strongly acidic or basic; but also to compare the different data founded to see how the addition of certain liquid to a solution may affect the pH of the initial solution. Materials We used: * Tap water‚ distilled water‚ Soda and milk as the main

Question 1 Critique Dr. Honeydew’s report. Specifically‚ discuss what is missing and how the missing information should have been presented. First the PH measurements‚ Dr. honey dew does not explain how the PH device was calibrated or if the blood sample was added or mixed with anything prior to the measuring of the pH (like water‚ etc.). In regards to the absorption spectroscopy‚ the method by which the concentration was obtained is questionable. Was the concentration known before the experiment

the bacterium was a gram negative or a gram positive. After performing the gram stain‚ I concluded that by the appearance of purple spherical clusters resembling grapes that is was a gram positive cocci. A Catalase test was then performed using hydrogen peroxide. A positive catalase test was observed when bubbles started to form on the culture distinguishing Staphylococcus spp. form on the culture distinguishing Staphylococcus spp. from Streptococcus spp. Finally‚ a Mannitol Salt Agar

trend O2 production and reaction velocity increased with increasing catalase concentration‚ however‚ the 33% percent catalase concentration showed a drop of 0.175 mL O2/s compared to the 25% catalase concentration (figure 1.2). The velocity of 25% catalase was 0.275 mL/s‚ 33% was 0.1 mL/s‚ 50% was 0.435 mL/s‚ and 75% catalase was 0.575 mL/s (figure 1.1). The 50% catalase concentration produced the most O2 overall however the 75% catalase concentration had the fastest initial reaction velocity. Experiment

Lab Report: Purpose: The Objective of this lab was to learn how to measure the pH (or acidity) of commonly known fluids‚ using the correct tools and procedures. To then use that data to document the changes noticed when mixing those same fluids and changing their respective pH levels. Materials: In order to conduct this experiment several pieces of equipment and other materials were needed. The first item was a graduated cylinder‚ which was used in order to measure out the precise

The Psychological Effect of Popular Media on the Increase of Crime Over time‚ it has been observed that people have a tendency to learn from the world around them and from the people they interact. The phenomenon of learning within a social context by observation can be termed as social learning. Most individuals tend to observe and replicate the behavior of things with which they come in frequent contact and this is more likely to occur if their feel an emotional attachment with the object
