Btec applied science - national diploma - chemistry- distinction

This is a distinction awarded assignment. "Equipment needs to be calibrated to ensure results produced are accurate and precise. Depending on whether readings are within the tolerance limits or not, action may need to be taken to calibrate equipment. The tolerance for the accuracy of equipment should be within 2%. When calibrating glassware, the temperature needs to be constant, and a good analytical scale needs to be used. Calculations needs to be done to counter the effects of the glass an...

This is part of Aim B. This document includes the practical plan ONLY. This is part of the PASS criteria. Aim To construct cooling curves and accurately study the rate of cooling of paraffin wax and stearic acid using calibrated equipment. Variables Dependent: Temperature Independent: Time Controls: Mass of samples, type of thermometer, medium in which cooling is occurring in

This is a distinction awarded unit. This report will include the method and results for calibration of thermometers. The method, data collection, construction of cooling curves for stearic acid and paraffin wax and results will be also included, the accuracy of results will then be analysed, evaluated and compared to published results and peers.

This is a distinction awarded assignment. "TLC is a highly versatile separation method that is widely used to analyse a variety of substance classes, including pesticides, steroids, alkaloids, lipids, nucleotides, carbohydrates, and fatty acids. In this technique it will be used to analyse plant pigments and amino acids. Components of a mixture will be identified using chromatographic techniques and by calculating the retention factor value, unknown solutions can be identified. Thin layer ch...

This is a distinction awarded assignment about the personal review (Aim D) for the Unit 2 in the first year of L3 Applied Science Btec. "As I was homeschooled I did not have access to a laboratory, nor did I complete any secondary school science experiments. All my experience is from home chemistry kits and researching history’s scientists. Unit 2 was a steep learning curve for me, and many new skills have been learnt and developed in a short time span. Research has aided my growth and I ...

Unit 5 in Applied Science focuses on electrolysis, an essential chemical process with numerous practical applications in various industries, including metallurgy, energy production, and materials science. This unit explores the principles, techniques, and real-world applications of electrolysis.

Aluminium, a lightweight and resistant to corrosion metal with a wide range of industrial and consumer applications, is the subject of Unit 5 in Applied Science. Students will investigate the qualities, manufacturing methods, and numerous applications of aluminium in sectors such as engineering, building, transportation, and packaging during this course. They also learn about the environmental and sustainability implications of aluminium consumption.

Provides a full guide and example of Unit 8b Biology assignment . It is a scientific journal of a made-up patient suffering with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. It provides a whole reference list and images. As well as a whole example which was graded a distinction

Unit 4a Chemistry. You have to provide a health & safety poster in science organisations. For this assignment I compared my college to a lab (ALS). This was a distinction level piece of work.
