For this experiment, our hypothesis was that if we used sweatshirt fabric, then it will cause the UV bead to have the lightest color, opposed to having fabric from the middle part of a hat, and t-shirt fabric.
The control date remained the same throughout the experiment. Each indicator bead stayed at “5” on the UV color guide. The experimental data varied. The beads that were under the sweatshirt and the t-shirt fabric had a “2” on the UV color guide, while the hat fabric had a “1.” First, I said that the sweatshirt fabric would make the bead have the lowest number on the UV color guide. I was wrong because the sweatshirt fabric scored a “2.” Next, my hypothesis said that the t-shirt fabric would cause the bead to have a darker color than the sweatshirt fabric. That was incorrect because the t-shirt also scored a “2,” just like the sweatshirt. Furthermore, my hypothesis also stated that the hat would make the bead have a darker color. That wasn’t right because the hat made the bead have the lightest color, which was a “1” on the UV color guide.

I would also like to have more trials, a shorter timing duration, and have the light higher up than I did in this experiment. The follow up experiment would help answer If a thicker piece of material will cause less light to get to a UV bead, and if I have more trials, the outcome will be more accurate. Also I think if the light is higher up (let’s say 2 feet) it will mimic the amount of strength the light has on the bead. The follow up experiment would again, answer the problem which was seeing which type of fabric provides the best protection, except completely eliminating a type of fabric to experiment with, and swapping out the thinner sweatshirt fabric for a thicker sweatshirt
The procedures for experiment A, B, and C all start the same. The first step is to put on goggles and get the data collection device set properly. The labquest needs to be plugged into the colorimeter accurately so that a click is heard when putting it in. The labquest needs to be reading digitally and the colorimeter needs to be set to 635 nm. Then shake the chloroplast solution and take a clean cuvette and fill it with 3 mL of distilled water, 3 drops of the chloroplast solution, and cap it. This is used as a blank to calibrate your labquest. Double check that the labquest is reading absorbance, this assures that the colorimeter is plugged into the labquest accurately. Insert the blank into the colorimeter and hit the calibration button. Take out the blank and empty it. The labquest is now set to experiment with. Make sure that the heat bank is set in front of the lamp and that the lamp is on. The cuvette must be placed on the opposite side of the heat bank in the path of light in the box so that no other light can interfere with the experiment.
The reason for the plan of this experiment is not only to find out which brand has better absorbency, but
The short story “Clothes” is written by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni in 1995. Clothes is about a young Indian woman called Sumita, and she is having an arranged marriage. The story takes place in Calcutta, India, where Sumita lives with her family and her two friends, Deepali and Rhada, before she gets married. Her father has found a great husband from California for her, Somesh Sen. She travels to California with her new husband, and is astonished how USA is, compared to India. Somesh works in a store called 7-eleven. Sumita and Somesh live with their in-laws, and want to move out. Somesh takes night shifts at 7-eleven, the earn some more money. One night, a robber comes in and shots Somesh in the chest so he dies.
In addition to the subjectivity of color, one would need to ensure a consistent ration of indicator solution to test solution in order to not affect the shade of the color change.
The producers in the new T-shirt value chain do not operate in a free market system. Government protectionist measures such as subsidies, quotas, and tariffs have limited economic success to a fortunate few. According to the author Pietra Rivoli, “the winners at various stages of my T-shirt’s life are adept not so much at competing in markets but at avoiding them.” These winners include the U.S. cotton farmer and the China apparel industry. Their market dominance and profitability have benefitted significantly from the political prowess of their government to limit competition.
Although the reliability of this experiment can be questioned. It was mostly maintained and copied each time it was tested although the way that the paper towel is transferred from 1 beaker to another is not that effective and may vary results. There is only 4 brands of paper towels being tested making the test bias in a sense that the most absorbent paper towel is going to be 1 of the 3 that were used. The experiment was timed with an iPhone therefore the exact 5 seconds that the paper towel was in the water may not be completely accurate because of the reliability on the reaction time of a person to start the timer, to put the paper towel in the beaker at the same time and then taking out the paper towel with the beaker at exactly 5 seconds with the tongs. It is possible results may have varied because of
The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize two organic dyes then observe their effective dye strength on various synthetic and natural materials. This was achieved by means of chemical reactions outlined below, heat to increase the reaction rate, ice baths to precipitate out the product, vacuum filtration to isolate the product, washing with water and 95% ethanol to purify the product, and dying of the clothe to observe dye effectiveness. The test of the effectiveness of the dye required that the fabric absorb one wavelength and then reflect the opposing color, and then be able to keep the color through basic washing. The presence of the dye on the fabric can be caused by ionic interaction, hydrogen bonding, covalent bonding, or simply
The dye studied in this experiment comes from a group of dyes called azo dyes. These dyes are arranged as two aromatic rings connected by two double-bonded nitrogen atoms (R-N=N-R). The two nitrogen atoms being double bonded together cause the color that the dye produces. Azo violet is also used in labs as a pH indicator because of the fact that it turns from an yellow-orange color in acidic and neutral environments (and also when used as a dye) to a deep purple in basic environments.
The crucial step was to set up the two-channel paper for the examination so you can assess the specific regions toward the test's end. For that to happen you need to draw a level line with a pencil. The line must be 1cm over the base. After that you draw nine cross lines along the even line with a space between every cross line of 1.5cm. In a flash you need to stamp every degree with a
2017 has been the year of comeback trends. From detail sleeves, to moto jackets, there has been one item that deserves to make the ultimate comeback — Tweed jackets.
Under Armour is a leading athletic clothing line directed towards the overall athlete who is looking for the most comfort during extracurricular activities. The mission of the company is, "to provide the world with technically advanced products engineered with exclusive fabric construction, supreme moisture management, and proven innovation. In short, every Under Armour product is doing something for you; it's making you better."
At first I thought that Under Armor would be an exception to this but then I realized that they don’t have exclusive deals with the manufacturers that they acquire their fabrics from to make their products. Therefore if one of its rivals ever wanted to they could possible acquire some of the innovative fabric that Under Armour uses and then use the fabric you produce similar products.
Be diluted easily. (due to competitive sport industry, the brand can be diluted if stops innovating the products)
concentration, record the absorbance readings at a fixed wavelength, and plot the absorbance vs. concentration data. The wavelength of 520 nm was selected for experiment Part
Then measured the absorbance of blue fractions that are within 5% of before and after the absorbance of the darkest blue one. Repeated the same steps with the yellow fractions, measured them at 440nm.
