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.

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.

What are some external and internal conflicts that Montag has in Fahrenheit 451?

 Montag, the protagonist of Fahrenheit 451, faces both external and internal conflicts throughout the novel. Some examples of these conflicts are: External Conflicts: Conflict with the society: Montag lives in a society that prohibits books and critical thinking.

Conflict with his wife: Montag's wife, Mildred, is completely absorbed in the shallow and meaningless entertainment provided by the government. Montag's growing dissatisfaction with his marriage adds to his external conflict. Conflict with the fire captain: Montag's superior, Captain Beatty, is the personification of the oppressive regime that Montag is fighting against. Montag's struggle against Beatty represents his external conflict with the government. Internal Conflicts: Conflict with his own beliefs: Montag, at the beginning of th...

In A People's History of the United States, why does Howard Zinn feel that Wilson made a flimsy argument for entering World War I?

"War is the health of the state," the radical writer Randolph Bourne said, in the midst of the First World War. Indeed, as the nations of Europe went to war in 1914, the governments flourished, patriotism bloomed, class struggle was stilled, and young men died in frightful numbers on the battlefields-often for a hundred yards of land, a line of trenches. -- Chapter 14, Page 350, A People's History of the United States Howard Zinn outlines his arguments for why World War I was fought in the opening paragraph of Chapter 14 (referenced above). The nationalism that was created by the Great War benefited the elite political and financial leadership of the various countries involved. Socialism, which was gaining momentum in Europe, as was class struggle, took a backseat to mobilizing for war. Zinn believes that World War I was fought for the gain of the industrial capitalists of Europe in a competition for capital and resources. He states that humanity itself was punished by t...
