How do you write an aim for an experiment on the difference between antiseptics and disinfectants?

Typically, the aim of an experiment is a simple statement about the goal of the experiment or what the experiment wishes to achieve. In other words, it summarizes what the experimenter would learn after conducting the experiment. So, for an experiment about the differences between antiseptics and disinfectants, the aim statement could be:


  • To determine the differences between antiseptics and disinfectants, or

  • To demonstrate the differences between antiseptics and disinfectants.

Both antiseptic and disinfectants are chemicals that kill or disable micro-organisms. The main difference between the two is the surface to which they are applied. The chemicals that can be applied to living cells (such as our skin) or organisms, for killing or deactivating microorganisms, are known as antiseptics. Disinfectants, on the other hand, are applied to non-living surfaces (such as floor, glass, etc.) or products for killing or deactivating microorganisms. 


Both the disinfectants and antiseptics are commonly used for preventing diseases and infections.


Hope this helps.

Can you analyze the poem "Absolution" by Siegfried Sassoon?

Sure! Siegfried Sassoon fought in World War I and was wounded in battle; he spent much of his life speaking out against war, and these pacifist feelings are easy to see in his poems. This one, "Absolution," was published in 1917, the same year that Sassoon was hospitalized for what we know today as post-traumatic stress disorder. "Absolution" is a short poem that contains three stanzas of four lines each. The word "absolution" means "forgiveness," and... Sure!

In chapter one of The Great Gatsby, what advice does Nick's father give him? How does this make him a good person to tell this story?

Nick says that his father advised him that, before "criticizing anyone," he "remember that all the people in this world haven't had the same advantages" as Nick.  As a result, Nick claims that he is "inclined to reserve all judgments," presenting himself to the reader as a fair and dispassionate arbiter of character, and thus, a reliable narrator.   The problem is that Nick immediately reveals himself as anything but reliable, as he then launches...
