What is m1 x v1 = m2 x v2
(Finding v1 usually)
Concentration of orig sol. x vol of orig sol.
=
Conc by end (TOTAL) x vol by end (TOTAL)
10 represents m1 (unless otherwise)
The (eg. 5ml) solution is v2
Final conc is on table
How do we use a calibration curve
- Make different known sugar concentrations
- Use colorimeter to measure absorbance/transmission
Of each conc and plot cal curve on graph - Find conc of sample from calibration curve
How to find uncertainties
Amount of uncertainty is
+/- half the smallest division on the scale measuring with
Eg. Smallest division is 5ml
+/- 2.5 ml
80ml +/- 2.5
…
With 2 or more uncertainties
1. Find all uncertainties
2. Add measured volumes
3. Add to get combined uncertainty
4. Combine answers from last 2 steps to get the total volume and uncertainty
NEEDED SAME UNITS
How to work out percentage error
(Uncertainty/ measured value) x100
How to describe using a calibration curve to find unknowns
- make different known sugar concentrations
- use colorimeter to measure absorbance of each conc
- plot calibration curve on graph
- find conc of sample from using curve
Mitotic index
( Cells in mitosis / total cell no. ) x 100
= percentage of cells undergoing mitosis
Why do we use percentages
Allows comparisons between different starting values
What to put for evaluating questions (studies)
+ tends to be data fitting pattern (quote)
- no control
- untruthful/subjective response
- some data not fitting pattern(quote)
- done in animals not humans
- small sample is unrepresentative
- one group (eg. Male)
- correlation not causation
