Learn about the basic biology of brine shrimp. Hypothesis In this lab I hypothesize that the most lethal household chemical is bleach and that is has the lowest LD50. Materials: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● 1000 ml beaker/2 gallon tank air pump air stone tubing eye droppers 10 ml pipettes graduated cylinders small petri dishes dissecting scopes/hand lenses beakers stopwatch live brine shrimp Lysol Bleach vinegar acetone (nail polish remover) Procedures: Place live brine shrimp in a small aquarium tank or a 1000ml beaker with an aerator

and health profile of the things they buy. For example‚ Method says we should throw away the bleach‚ we don’t need bleach. Method says bleach is nasty stuff and doesn’t get your clothes clean; better yet we don’t need it to get our clothes clean. Method states that their technology in their product can get our clothes clean without bleach. This is a product we don’t need in our home. Method states that bleach and other surface cleaners contain all sorts of nasty chemicals that are toxic to breathe

can slow the growth of‚ or kill‚ microorganisms. Hypothesis: The antiseptic that will prevent the growth of bacteria the most is iodine. The disinfectant that will prevent the growth of bacteria the most is bleach. Procedure: To begin the lab‚ turn the agar plate over and divide the plate into four quadrants and label the agar plate whether you used the E. coli or B. megaterium and number the quadrants 1 through 4. Please keep in mind that one pair will

including bleach‚ lemon juice‚ soda‚ and baking soda were used. There was also an unknown solution in which the pH level was used to determine which solution it was. The pH scale is 1-14‚ a pH of 7 is neutral‚ less than 7 is acidic‚ and greater than 7 is acidic. Materials: * pH strips * 20 test tubes * Disposable transfer pipettes * Indicators * Methyl Orange * Bromocresol green * Bromocresol purple * Phenol red * Solutions included * Bleach

Redox Titration Analysis of a Commercial Bleach A. Purpose ! ! ! To review oxidation-reduction reactions and their stoichiometry. To learn the concept and technique of redox titration. To determine the percent (m/v) of an active ingredient‚ sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl)‚ in a commercial bleaching agent. B. Theoretical Background Whereas acid-base reactions involve the transfer of a proton‚ oxidation-reduction or redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons from one substance to

Cleaning Seashells: 1. Burying - This one is pretty simple. Find an area in your yard where you don’t mind digging a hole and bury the shells about 18" down. The reason for the depth is so animals will not find them and dig them up. Also you or your neighbors won’t smell them. Let them remain buried until the insects‚ ants‚ larvae‚ worms and bacteria remove all the tissue and they will darn near polish the inside of the shell. But‚ this could take as long as a couple of months. The longer you

Purpose: In this experiment‚ the purpose was to have found out how different chemical solutions help or harm radish plant growth when the seeds of the radish plant are soaked in said solutions prior to planting. Background: The IRP project I am doing is based off the subject of seed germination. The seeds I will be planting are cherry belle radish seeds‚ freshly bought. Instead of planting the seeds in soil like it is normally done‚ the plant seeds will be placed on paper towels to grow for better

acetic acid and oxidized with sodium hypochlorite to make crude camphor. The crude camphor was purified by sublimation. The final product was characterized by obtaining a melting point and inferred spectroscopy. The experiment was carried out to see if bleach could oxidize borneol and if it is greener than using a Jones reagent. Sure enough camphor was made with a 4.03 g of unsublimed camphor and 0.08g of pure camphor with a 2 % yield (in moles). No melting point or IR peaks were obtained. However‚ the
