Phenolphhalein indicator is used in this experiment because it changes color in the pH range of 8.0 to 9.6.
Show by calculation that phenolphthalein is an acceptable indicator for the titration of KHP with NaOH.
This is true if the pH at the equivalence point falls within this range.
In essence, what you need to do is to calculate the pH of the unprotonated phthalate salt. You may assume that the concentration of the salt is approximately 0.05 M at the equivalance point.
HINT: The salt is derived from the weak diprotic acid, which has Ka1 = 1.2 * 10^-3 and Ka2 = 3.9 * 10^-6

An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of children participating in a given meal preparation on calorie intake for that meal. Data are recorded below. Save the data to a format that can be read into R. Read the data in for analysis. Use R to calculate the quantities and generate the visual summaries requested below. You will lose points if you are not utilizing R.
(1) Summarize the data by whether children participated in the meal preparation or not. Use an appropriately labelled table to show the results. Also include a graphical presentation that shows the distribution of calories for participants vs. non-participants. Describe the shape of each distribution and comment on the similarity (or lack thereof) between the distributions in each population. (2 points)
(2) Does the mean calorie consumption for those who participated in the meal preparation differ from 425? Formally test at the alpha = 0.05 level using the 5 steps outlined in the module. (6 points)
(3) Calculate a 90% confidence interval for the mean calorie intake for participants in the meal preparation. Interpret the confidence interval. (4 points)
(4) Formally test whether or not participants consumed more calories than non-participants at the alpha = 0.05 level using the 5 steps outlined in the module. (6 points )
(5) Are the assumptions of the test used in (4) met? How do you know? (2 points)

A coil has N turns enclosing an area of A . In a physics laboratory experiment, the coil is rotated during the time interval Δt from a position in which the plane of each turn is perpendicular to Earth's magnetic field to one in which the plane of each turn is parallel to the field. The magnitude of Earth's magnetic field at the lab location is B .
Part A
What is the magnitude Φinitial of the magnetic flux through the coil before it is rotated?

This is for my biochemistry lab, the experiment is dealing with trypsin and BPTI. I need to make a graph: plot the absorbance change per minute versus the BPTI concentration for each cuvette.
here are my cuvettes and amount of BPTI added to each
1- 0uL BPTI added
2- 10 uL BPTI added
3-20 uL BPTI added
4-30 uL BPTI added
5- 40 uL BPTI added
6- 50 uL BPTI added.
Each cuvette has a different amount of water and trypsin added to them, for a total volume of 100 uL in each cuvette.
I was give a sample of BPTI for which I had to find the concentration. Using the absorbance, I calculated that the concentration was 0.035mM. We then had to dilute this 10-fold, so to 0.0035mM.
I am not sure how to find the concentration of BPTI in each cuvette with this information. The molecular weight of BPTI is 6500. I don't know if that is needed.
I feel like this should be really easy, but I am having trouble doing this.
