The purpose of this study is to find the effect of covered stomata on plant transpiration. The experiment was designed to examine the changes in texture of four Devil’s Ivy leaves (Epipremnum aureus) affected by covered stomata and rate of transpiration. One leaf was completely coated with Vaseline gel. The second leaf was coated only […]

By applying robust heat to a solid sample via a non-luminous Bunsen flame in the lab, one can detect the existence of chemical species. In cases where gas is produced, additional examinations can be carried out to identify it. For detailed observations and deductions, refer to Table ASS. The following list portrays various sublimates observed […]

The purpose of this laboratory project was threefold, in that it presented three main objectives. The first objective was to prepare the ionic compound alum from aluminum powder. The alum was produced from the reduction-oxidation reaction of aluminum with potassium hydroxide and sulfuric acid in water. The second objective was to then analyze the alum […]

Robert Lawrence and Edmund Stephens, two graduate students of geology from Columbia University, organized the Saline Salt Company in 1974. Keeping in mind the fact that every 1,000 grams of seawater contains approximately 35 grams of various salts, the two men pictured limitless wealth for themselves by extracting these salts. Common table salt comprises 27 […]

The necessity of clean water is indispensable and transformative, yet shockingly, 780 million people globally lack access to this basic need. Distressingly, contaminated water and inadequate sanitation contribute to the weekly mortality rate of 300,000 individuals.
