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.

So, for an experiment about the differences between antiseptics and disinfectants, the aim statement could be:

  • 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.

What is the meaning of "juggling fiends" in Macbeth?

Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion.

This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a sense of guilt, and that man tells him: Despair thy charm.

In Martel's Life of Pi, how does writing a diary help Pi Patel build on his leadership skills?

At the end of chapter 73, Pi first divulges the fact that he had started a diary after about a week alone at sea. Pi claims that he wrote about "practical stuff" (208) such as what he caught for food, foreseeable problems and solutions, Richard Parker, and reflections about specific events that occurred. In a sense, Pi is the captain of his ship; therefore, he must take responsibility for himself and his crew. He can...

He can do this by writing down events, problems and solutions, and reflections to look back on when confronted with repeated problems. It can ...

Why did Tybalt attack and kill Mercutio instead of Romeo, who he had originally been targeting?

Though Tybalt's quarrel is with Romeo, he begins the momentous duel in Act 3 by fighting with and killing Mercutio instead. Tybalt ultimately attacks Mercutio because the garrulous and hot-headed character insults Tybalt and goads him into a duel to protect Romeo's honor. From the beginning of the encounter in Act 3, Scene 1, it's clear that Mercutio is itching for a fight. For instance, when Tybalt signals that he wants to talk to Mercutio...
