The juices used in this experiment are Minute Maid, Great Value brand, and Florida 's Best. DCP was used to determine the amount of vitamin C in the products. The DCP was placed in the juices drop by drop so that the drops were easily counted. The purpose of counting the drops of DCP is to later determine the concentration of the juice sample. The formula used is VkCk=VuCu. Basically, the concentration of the unknown is determined by simply multiplying the number of drops of vitamin C control solution added to the DCP with the concentration of the vitamin C control, which happens to be 1mg/ml. After multiplying the two numbers, they are then divided by the number of drops of juice that were added to the DCP. Below you can see a table showing the results after doing the

    PNP or paranitrophenol is an organic compound that undergoes changes when the pH is manipulated of the solution. PNP is also an acid/ base indicator. The compounded starts off as internal conjugated ring with the hydroxyl group and the nitro group single bonded to the aromatic ring. This occurs at the pH of 5. At this point the aromatic compound is colorless and is in the ultraviolet range. However, as the pH begins to increase the hydroxyl group deprotonates, leaving the oxygen with a negative 1 charge. The molecule compensates for the negative charge by conforming to a more stable resonance structure. The structure now has the oxygen and the nitrogen for the nitro group double bonded to the ring. The negative charge lies with one the oxygen atom that is a part of the nitro group. This lead to a highly conjugated system. If a system is conjugated the compound shows the presence by giving off a color. In PNP the color change is most visible at the pH of 10.…

These experiments really showed me how to differentiate the types of tools we are using and understand the differences and reason for the differences in each.

    Abstract. -- The main focus in this experiment was to find out if antibiotics affect yeast cells culture when added. The observation of the two cultures along with the yield of yeast cell reproduction between the two cultures was the sole purpose of the experiment; culture-A (- antibiotic) and culture-B (+ antibiotic). Our hypothesis stated whether antibiotic effects yeast cells cultures. This theory was tested by having a chamber with quadrants that contain the culture, a hemacytometer, was used to carry out this experiment. After the data was collected from using the hemacytometer, the results of the difference between the two cultures was to be determined through a t-test. As the test was conducted, the study shows that the difference between lacking an antibiotic and containing one is not different. An antibiotic in culture-A and culture-B does not affect the number of yielded yeast cells.…

    The object of this experiment is to determine how changing the size of the beak of a finch will affect the population as well as the growth rate of the finch’s beak. The reason for the experiment is to evaluate evolution and how it affects the finch’s population, and how natural selection is always present in life. In this experiment I will show that the finch will continue to evolve until its beak has reached the optimal size for sustaining life, when changing the beak size to a much larger size we will see that the finch will have no need for further evolution of its beak and that its population will become much more stable and consistent throughout the years.…
