    The Varying Effects of Pollution on the Environment James Fields Indiana University Southeast Abstract This paper explores the varying effects of pollution on the environment and human interaction by explaining the history of human’s tendency to pollute and giving several examples that created many regulations that help in decreasing pollution. Many studies in this paper help to explain how pollution is directly related to human interaction such as the study by Keith Gaby that show a correlation

    Titration is a method used to help determine the concentration of an unknown solution (the analyte) by using a solution of known concentration (the titrant).1 In medicine‚ titration helps doctors determine unknown concentrations of substances in the blood or urine‚ and it is useful in determining the proper dosage of medication. Titration can determine fat and water contents‚ and unknown concentrations of vitamins. With food‚ titration can be used to determine whether cheese or wine is adequately

    The Effect of Osmosis on Differences of Amount of Sucrose Osmotic Pressure and its Influence on the Concentration of Sucrose in Solution Brennan Montoni Movement of molecules and Ions Names of Lab Partners Biology 110 March 23‚ 2011 Code of Academic Integrity INTRODUCTION: During the process of osmosis‚ water will move across a differentially permeable membrane. The water will transfer from a region of lesser solute concentration to a region of greater solute concentration

    in this proposal was aimed to complete the goal of answering questions about the system of three unknown red solutions. Based on the experiments conducted and the data collected‚ I am able to conclude information about the three red solutions that will lead to a possible identity of each red solution. Starting with red solution #1‚ we are able to conclude that there are no nanoparticles in this solution and that is a molecular compound due to the fact that when potassium iodide was added‚ there was

    that water potentials and zero weight change osmolalities will be the same for potato cores placed in varying concentrations of solutes of NaCl‚ glucose‚ and sucrose. This experiment was designed to test these predictions and compare them to data gathered course wide. We found that the mean water potentials were all within 0.26 bars of each other‚ and that the zero weight change osmolalities were all within 0.035 mols of each other. This supported Van’t Hoff’s predictions that water potentials and

    better understand the process of fermentation of yeast in different concentrations of sucrose. The experiment worked with yeast and sugar (sucrose and glucose) to determine the rate of fermentation by testing the pressure of C02 in the test tube. The experiment tested the metabolic capability of yeast anaerobically meaning no oxygen was present (this was ensured by the thin layer of oil on the top of the solution). This means that the metabolic rate of the yeast could be determined by testing the

    show the water potentials of young‚ old and damaged potatoes and different sucrose concentrations (0.15‚ 0.20‚ 0.25‚ 0.30‚ 0.35 and 0.50). It was expected that the potatoes would lose weight as the potatoes would have lower water potential when placed in a solution ‚ and in this can be taken from the theory of osmosis which states that “the passive diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane down a concentration gradient” (Taylor and Bruenn‚ 2009)‚ moving water from a high
