1 trial :  nothing is given for result comparision - so we have no idea if it's a mistake.

2nd trial : The results can be compared - if varies, one may go wrong, but which one?

3rd trial : If 3rd result is different from 1st and 2nd, it is unreliable.

calculating enthalpy of fusion. M, C and m,c = mass and specific heat of calorimeter and water, n, L = mass and heat of fusion of ice; T = temperature fall.

L = (mc+MC)T/n.

c=4.18 J/gK. assuming copper calorimeter , so C=0.385 J/gK.

1. M = 409g, m = 45g. T = 22c, n = 14g

L = (45*4.18+409*0.385)*22/14 = 543.0 J/g.

2. M = 409g, m = 49g, T = 20c, n = 13g

L = (49*4.18+409*0.385)*20/13 = 557.4 J/g.

3. M = 409g, m = 54g, T = 20c, n = 14g

L = (54*4.18+409*0.385)*20/14 = 547.4 J/g.

(i) Estimate error in L from spread of 3 results.

Average L = 549.3 J/g.

squared differences average (variance) = (6.236^2+8.095^2+1.859^2)/3 = 35.96

standard deviation = 5.9964

standard error = SD/(N-1) = 5.9964/2 = 3 J/g approx.

% error = 3/547 x 100% = 0.5%.

(ii) Estimate error in L from accuracy of measurements:

error in masses = +/-0.5g

error in T = +/-0.5c

For Trial 3

M = 409g, error = 0.5g

m = 463-409, error = sqrt(0.5^2+0.5^2) = 0.5*sqrt(2)

n =(516-463)-(448-409)=14, error = 0.5*sqrt(4) = 1.0g

K = (mc+MC)=383, error = sqrt[2*(0.5*4.18)^2+(0.5*0.385)^2] = 2.962

L = K*T/n

% errors are

K: 3/383 x 100% = 0.77

T: 0.5/20 x 100% = 2.5

n: 1.0/14 x 100% = 7.14

% errors in K and T are << error in n, so ignore them.

% error in L = same as in n = 7% x 547.4 = 40

The result is (i) L= 549 +/- 3 J/g or (ii) L = 550 +/- 40 J/g.

Both are very far above  334 J/g, so there is at least one systematic error  

e.g: calorimeter may not be copper, so C is not 0.385 J/gK. (If it was polystyrene, which absorbs/ transmits little heat, the effective value of C would be very low, reducing L.)

Using +/- 40 is best.

However, the spread in the actual results is much smaller

* measurements were "fiddled" to get better results; other Trials were made but only best 3 were chosen.

<h3>Other sources of error: </h3>

L=(mc+MC)T/n is too high, so n (ice melted) may be too small, or T (temp fall) too high - why?

* we have assumed initial and final temperature of ice was 0c, it may actually have been colder, so less ice would melt -which explain small values of n

* some water might have been left in container when unmelted ice was weighed (eg clinging to ice) - again this could explain small n;

* poor insulation - heat gained from surroundings, melting more ice, increasing n - but this would reduce measured L below 334 J/g not increase it.

* calorimeter still cold from last trial when next one started, not given time to reach same temperature as water - this would reduce n.

Which of the three primary germ layers generates most of the cells in the developing mammalian forelimb? which germ layer genera
almond37 [142]
Germ layer is a primary layer of cells found in the embryo. The three primary germ layers that generate most of the cells in the developing mammalian forelimb are ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm.
Ectoderm forms the outer component of a mammalian body such as skin, hair, etc. Endoderm forms the inner layer that comprises of the linings of digestive system, lungs and thyroid. Mesoderm is the middle layer that forms the skeletal system, heart, etc.
Neural tube is generated by the inward folding of the ectoderm. This process is called neurulation. Ectoderm also forms neural crest.

The use of electronic instruments or other techniques to monitor and change subconscious activities, many of which are regulated
Wewaii [24]

The use of electronic instruments or other techniques to monitor and change subconscious activities, many of which are regulated by the autonomic nervous system, is called biofeedback.

<h3>What is biofeedback?</h3>

A mind-body approach known as biofeedback employs a variety of monitoring tools to give the body's physical functions, which are typically controlled by the body's automatic systems, conscious control. There are several kinds of biofeedback instruments that can be used to track the development of the activity and show the efficacy of the therapy as it is being administered.

The equipment that measures the following uses biofeedback the most frequently:

  • brain activity
  • respiration rate
  • blood pressure
  • heartbeat frequency and heartbeat variability
  • tension in muscles
  • electrification of the skin
  • skin temperature

Devices used to measure body change are:

  1. Electromyogram (EMG): To measure muscular tension, use this.
  2. Electrodermal activity (EDA): This measures variations in perspiration rate.
  3. Measures of finger pulses: These evaluate heart rate and blood pressure.
  4. Electroencephalogram (EEG): This is used to assess brain electrical activity.
