In the production of soap, How would you determine whether you have too much or too little KOH? What might account for the sensations observed?
A typical incandescent lightbulb emits approximately 3 x 1018 visible-light photons per second. Your eye, when it is fully dark adapted, can barely see the light from an incandescent lightbulb 10 km away. How many photons per second are incident at the image point on your retina? The diameter of a dark-adapted pupil is 6 mm.

The diameter of the FOV gets smaller as we increase magnification. It can be measured by using a stage micrometer like a ruler, measuring from edge to edge. Notice that the stage micrometer is 1000 microns (µm) in length, and the field of view under the lowest magnification is 5000 µm. Describe how we measure it?arrow_forward
- To ensure that the plant was kept at a constant temperature at each light intensity in this experiment: Select one or more: a. the temperature of the room was adjusted to keep the tube of Elodea submerged in water at a constant temperature with a thermometer inside the tube b. the tube containing Elodea submerged in water was surrounded by light on all sides with a thermometer inside the tube c. the tube containing Elodea submerged in water was placed in a water bath with a thermometer in the water batharrow_forwardOn the graph that relates absorbance to flavin concentration, draw a horizontal line that starts at the point on the y-axis that corresponds to the absorbance of your unknown sample and ends at the curve you drew through your data points . Next draw a vertical line that starts at the point where the horizontal line intersected the curve and ends at the x-axis. The point where this vertical line intersects the x-axis corresponds to the concentration of flavin in your unknown sample. What was the letter on the tube with your unknown sample?

- Assume that you have an “X” solution that you do not know its concentration. But you have other X solutions with known concentrations and you know X solution absorbs maximum light at 575 nm. To calculate the unknown solution concentration, you have done some spectrophotometric measurements and obtained data given below. Prepare a standard curve by using the absorbance of known concentrations (Hint: you can learn how to prepare a standard curve by using Excell from youtube).

Ultrasonic devices have shown promise in repelling insect pest species. They emit short wavelength, high-frequency sound waves that can be detected by insects but are too high-pitched to be detected by humans. The following table shows the maximum end of the hearing range of frequencies detectable by various organisms (Table 1). To investigate the effectiveness of ultrasonic devices in dispersing pest insects, scientists collected data from two different regions. Region 1: a rural crop-growing region where insecticides are applied for crop protection Region 2: a protected nature reserve that is managed for conservation and researchScientists measured the population density of insects in both regions before and after activating two different kinds of ultrasonic devices. The first ultrasonic device emitted sound at a frequency of 40 kHz and the second…arrow_forwardYou are removing a hot pan of cookies from the oven, using a pot holder.
