Experiment Title

Indication of pH and Buffer Solutions Statement of Purpose Train the preparation of the acetate buffer solution (pH = 4.8) and other solutions. Practice the pH measurements. Test the buffer capacity of the prepared buffer solution.

Hypothesis to test:

- property of buffer solution to keep pH, when the strong acid or base are added; - red cabbage juice acts as a natural indicator, which helps to identify the pH of the solution.

Description of the Experiment

Acetate Buffer Preparation: mix 10 ml of 0.2 M acetic acid with 15 ml of 0.2 M sodium acetate, add 75 ml of distilled water was added. Store in an ...

Abstract

Color and texture are important attributes related to vegetable quality. The objective of this study was to determine the changes in quality characteristics, caused by cooking time, and pH (alkali and acid addition) in some vegetables. Four different vegetables — carrots, spinach, red cabbage and cauliflower — were analyzed for changes in color and texture associated to time of boiling, the effect of alkali (baking soda), and the effect of acid (vinegar and cream of tartar). Samples of each vegetable were prepared and treated for five minutes. Color change was measured visually and using the L*a*b* technique. Color and ...

The Cabbage Soup Diet, as with most fad diets, is a quick way to lose a few pounds. Cabbage Soup, made with vegetables, tomato sauce, and a chicken or beef stock is a very low calorie food. This diet runs its course in seven days. Cabbage soup is consumed every day, with alternating veggie and fruit days. For example, on the first day cabbage soup is eaten with additional vegetables only. On the second day, only the soup and some fruit are consumed. On the third day, it is the cabbage soup with both fruit and veggies. During the ...

Cabbage white butterfly is also known as Pieris rapae. These species are flower visitors. They use tubular proboscis to acquire liquids. It consists of “two medially concave, elongated maxillary galeae joined dorsally and ventrally by cuticular projections, termed “legulae,” forming a food canal” (Lehnert et al. 167). Each legula has upper and lower branches. The organ is twisted into a spiral in a quiescent state. Butterfly’s head has a special pump that creates a pressure to move liquid through the food canal to the gut. P. rapae’s average forewing length is about 49.6 mm, while its proboscis’ ...

The Republic of Ireland, more commonly referred to as Ireland occupies five-sixths of the island of Ireland, the second largest island of the British Isles. Its demography, history, geography and culture are unique (see Appendix 1 for scale map).

Ireland, which is to the far west of Europe, is also west of the island of Great Britain. The Republic covers 70,280 of the island’s total area of 84,431 square kilometres. The climate is temperate maritime, modified by the North Atlantic Current which contributes to its mildwinters and cool summers. Because of the high precipitation, the climate ...

After his graduation from Cambridge University in 1831, Charles Darwin developed deep enthusiasm in biology and consequently embarked on a mission to investigate the origin of species (Quammen, 2006). Several years later, after conducting extensive research, he came up with the theory of evolution which mainly suggests that organisms evolved from simple forms to their present complex forms. He proposed several theories that sought to explain how the process of evolution took place. The process of natural selection is one of them. This theory suggests that nature selects a variety of species that are suitable for survival and reproduction in a particular ...

Introduction

Kale is one of the favorite cool-weather crops that are mostly planted by many gardeners. The great qualities that kales have include delicious, nutritious, and versatile. Kale has the capability of growing in any climate zone (Vanderlinden). Some of the popular varieties of kale include the Red Russian, which has light purplish stalks, grayish-green leaves, and purplish veins. The Red Russian variety is the most delicious variety. The other variety is the Lacinato, which is also referred to as dinosaur kale, cavolo Nero or Toscano Kale (Rutherford-Fortunati). This variety is extremely hardy with the leaves getting very tough when ...

Raphaelle Peale is one of the first professional still life painters in America. This multitalented patriarch was also a naturalist and a revolutionary cultural leader during his time. He not only left a legacy of vibrantly wonderful still life portraits, but his work as a naturalist was used as a basis for many studies in an array of fields (Nemerov 13). In his still life paintings, he depicted an uncanny way of passing metaphorical messages. Generally, the mention of Raphaelle Peale evokes a euphoric feeling in both artists and historians. He was born in seventeen seventy four, to Charles Wilson Peale who was a painter. ...

“This is a book about the positive evidence that evolution is a fact. It is not intended as an anti-religious book. I’ve done that, it’s another T-shirt, this is not the place to wear it again,” says Dr. Richard Dawkins in the introduction to his book The Greatest Show on Earth (17). This book is an organized presentation of copious numbers of the examples that support the evolutionary change over time via the process of natural selection. It raises many issues to a reader’s mind, and it helps provide a fuller understanding of the theory of evolution for the reader. ...

Introduction

Like any other class of organisms, aphids have their own adaptation to feeding. This can be easily deduced from their high precision in determining host plants from non-host plants. In this class, the mouthparts of insects are adapted to the various feeding modes which range from chewing to sucking. In our case of study, aphids have mouth parts which are highly adapted to sucking from plant phloem.

Theory of the experiment

Aphids are insects that can be a nightmare to farmers since they can become a perennial pest highly reducing the returns of the farmer. They are sucking insects which pierce through the plants and ...
