Experiment 1: The Effects of Coal Mining Coal mining‚ particularly surface mining‚ leads to large areas of land being temporarily disturbed. The mine workings collect and conduct water that is in contact with the widespread pyrite‚ a mineral that produces iron and sulfuric acid when exposed to air and water. In this lab‚ you will see first-hand the reasons why mine drainage can be harmful to the local drainage system if left untreated. Materials: (3) 100 mL Beakers 1 tsp. Crushed pyrite 1 tsp. Activated

Experiment 1 Cyanobacteria Oxygen Production Through Photosynthesis Date Performed: September 2‚ 2014 I. Introduction a. Background Cyanobacteria or blue green algae are renowned for their tolerability and susceptibility even in wide range of environmental conditions‚ a characteristic of many primitive organisms. CNB are believed to be the agents of autotrophic origin of life thus they probably represent the survivors of the earliest photosynthetic plants‚ along with photosynthetic and chemosynthetic

Experiment 1: Error‚ Uncertainties and Measurements Laboratory Report Jan Luke Mendoza‚ Alexis Vienne Munar‚ Paula Murakami‚ Giorla Joanne Negre Department of Math and Physics College of Science‚ University of Santo Tomas Espana‚ Manila Abstract Throughout the experiment the main goal is to find out about the realities in taking measurements‚ that is‚ that there will always be an uncertainty for each acquired value. And to find out and recognize these uncertainties was handled in the

I. Objective The first objective of the measurement of thermal conductivity & one-dimensional heat conduction experiment was to identify three different metal specimens by comparing their experimentally determined thermal conductivities to known thermal conductivity values of existing metals. The second objective of the experiment was to establish a connection between the thermal conductivities & temperatures of the metal specimens. Thirdly‚ the contact resistance of the interfaces between

Jamila Bass 814000008 BIOL 1364 Tutorial 1 (Thursday 4:00-5:00 pm) 1. The basic chromosome number (x) refers to the number of chromosomes that are different and separate from all other chromosomes in that organism. The organism may contain one or more sets of this basic chromosome number. The haploid number (n) therefore refers to a single basic chromosome set and are typically found in the gametes of an organism. 2. Mendel’s principles of inheritance suggests that the inheritance of the traits

The purpose of this lab was to determine if a there is a change in mass when a gas is produced and determine if gas has mass. To conduct this experiment‚ the group must be careful not to let the Alka-Seltzer tablet get wet before the bottle is closed by wiping the lip of the bottle and the cap so it remains dry‚ or risk gas escaping into the air and not being captured by the bottle. Also‚ the group must be sure to close the bottle tightly with the cap‚ because gas may escape this way as well. During
