Aims and Objectives of the Experiment

The aim of this experiment is to study the separation of an extract of a non-prescription analgesic tablet containing acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and caffeine. The separation is achieved through a well-known process called liquid chromatography. The quantities of the aforementioned substances also need to be determined in the experiment (“High Performance Liquid Chromatography,” n.d.).

Theory and Principles

Chromatography is a technique used for the separation of the components, or solutes, in a mixture. The separation is based on the amounts of the relevant solute in the moving, or fluid, stream. There are two phases in chromatography, the mobile phase, and the stationary ...

In the article Streissguth introduced fetal alcohol syndrome and reviewed literature relevant to the problem in order to explore effects of pregnant mothers’ alcohol consumption on their children’s development. Then she gave supportive evidence of the effects by revealing animal models of research. Next, she focused on delay or impaired functioning and disclosed mental handicaps as the most detrimental effect. Furthermore, the researcher revealed remediation interventions to deal with fetal alcohol syndrome and also reflected on effects of social drinking.

I am forced to stick my hand, then my entire arm out from under the safety of my bedclothes in order to turn it off. To snooze or not to snooze? It will just go off in another seven minutes. I may as well get up now. The sooner I do, the sooner I get to see my best friend. Groggy, bleary eyes, rubbing sleep from my face and half stumbling I wander into the kitchen, hearing the relations ...

These mice were subjected to a diet of water (control group) and diluted coffee in the experimental group (Yamauchi et al., 2010). It was assumed that the experimental group would ...

Introduction

The “Scientific Method” characterizes science from other fields of studies. It encompasses methodologies of scientific inquiry that follow certain patterns to easily obtain and make experimentation easier. The scientific method is improved as science and technology progress but it has the following general parts that are universal: a. identifying the problem statement, b. formulation of hypotheses, c. observation from sampling, measurement and description of the data obtained, d. formulation of inductions, e., employing theories and finally, f. formation of conclusion (Oxford University Press). These steps are greatly relevant to obtain the desired data for an experiment and with the ...
