Summary Introduction
To explain:
The reason for mixing oil and water in the presence of detergents.
Introduction:
Detergent is the mixture of a surfactant. It is used for cleaning purposes and is more effective in hard water. The sulfonate present in the detergent does not bind to the calcium ions and the other ions present in hard water. The soap is less effective in the presence of hard water as its carboxylate group binds to these ions and forms the aggregate.

Using a spectrophotometer the student observed that S7 converts to a colorless molecule in the presence of malaria parasite called Plasmodium falciparum. To study the rate of reaction, the student recorded the absorbance/amount of S7 at a wavelength of 570 nm. The results are summarized in the table below: Time (s) Absorbance/Amount of S7 0.80 0.63 10 0.50 15 0.40 20 О.32 25 0.25 30 0.20 Determine the half-life of S7.

- THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD: DR. SEMMELWEIS’ CASE STUDY An example of the scientific method in action can be found in the work of Ignaz Semmelweis, a Hungarian doctor who lived in the early-to-mid-1800s. He was appointed to a ward in Vienna’s most modern hospital, the Allegemeine Krankenhaus. He noticed that in his ward, patients were dying at a rate that far exceeded that of the other wards, even the wards with much sicker patients. Semmelweis observed the situation for several weeks, trying to figure out what was different about his ward as compared to all others in the hospital. He finally determined that the only noticeable difference was that his ward was the first one that the doctors and medical students visited after they performed autopsies on the dead. Based on his observations, Semmelweis hypothesized that the doctors were carrying something deadly from the corpses upon which the autopsies were being performed to the patients in his ward. In other words, Dr.…arrow_forwardTime-release” drugs work by releasing a drug to the body at a constant rate such that the drug concentration at one time is not large enough as to cause harmful side effects OR not low enough to the point where it is an ineffective therapeutic.

- A flat (not spherical) tissue engineered skin (thickness 2.5 mm) is attached to the bottom of a dish and cultured with cell media atop it (which has an oxygen concentration of 0.15 mol/m3). The diffusivity of oxygen in the skin is 3.4 E-9 m2/s, and according to experiments that you’ve performed, you want to make sure that the concentration of oxygen in the device doesn’t fall below 0.06 mol/m3. (Below that concentration harms the cells.) The rate of oxygen consumption is -5.9 E-17 mol/[cell◦s]. What is the maximum cellularity (in cells/mL, three significant digits) that this tissue engineered skin can support?arrow_forwardPlease give Detailed Solution....no need handwritten answerarrow_forwardHelp with graph also thank you.arrow_forward
