Estimation of carbon from soil by wilky black method
Introduction:- Estimates of organic carbon are used to assess the amount of organic matter in soil . The method measures the amount of organic carbon in plant and animal remains including soil humus .
Aim :- To estimate organic carbon from soil sample by walkey black method
Equipment:–
1. 500-mL Erlenmeyer flasks.
2. 10-mL pipette.
3. 50-mL burette
.4. Analytical balance.
5. Incandescent lamp.
Reagents:
1. H3PO4, 85%.
2. H2SO4, concentrated (96%)
3. NaCl , solid
.4. Standard 0.167M K2Cr2O7:- Dissolve 4.904 g of dried (105oC) K2Cr2O7 in water and dilute to 100ml.
5. 0.5M Fe2+ solution: Dissolve 49 g of Fe(NH4)2(SO4)•6H2O in 250 mL of water containing 5 mL of concentrated H2SO4 and dilute to 250 ml. The Fe2+ in this solution oxidizes slowly on exposure to air so it must be standardized against the dichromate.
6. Ferroine indicator
Procedure:
1. Weigh 1 g dried soil and transfer to a 500 mL Erlenmeyer flask.
2. Add 10 ml K2Cr2O7 solution in it.
3. Add 20 mL of concentrated H2SO4 by means of a dispenser and swirl gently to mix of the flask out of the solution.
4. Allow to stand for 30 minutes. The flasks should be placed on an insulation pad during this time to avoid rapid heat loss.
5. Dilute the suspension with about 200 mL of water to provide a clearer suspension for viewing the endpoint.
6. Add 10 mL of 85% H3PO4 and add 0.2 g of NaCl. The H3PO4 and NaCl is added to complex Fe3+ which would interfere with the titration endpoint.
7. Add 10 drops of ferroin indicator.
8. Titrate with 0.5 M Fe2+ to a burgundy endpoint.
9. Run a reagent blank using the above procedure without soil. The blank is used to standardize the Fe2+ solution daily.
Calculations :-
For organic carbon=
C = (B-S) x M of Fe2+ x 12 x 100g soil / 4000
Where:
B = mL of Fe2+ solution used to titrate blank
S = mL of Fe2+ solution used to titrate sample
/4000 = Milliequivalent weight of C in
carbon= C = (B-S) x B = mL of Fe2

Learn Auto clave, Laminar air flow, Oven dryer working
1) Autoclave
Aim: To study Autoclave principal, working and uses.
Principal:The basic principle of steam sterilization, as accomplished in an autoclave, is to expose each item to direct steam contact at the required temperature and pressure for the specified time. Thus, there are four parameters of steam sterilization: steam, pressure, temperature, and time.
Working:
A sufficient quantity of water is poured into the chamber and the level of water is adjusted in such a way that it is slightly touching to the bottom of the perforated chamber. The material is packed in the perforated chamber. The lid is then closed with the screw and the autoclave is switched on. Initially, discharge tap is kept open and safety valve is adjusted to required pressure. As the temperature of water increases, it starts to vaporise and result in the formation of stem. This steam removes the air from autoclave which is indicated by formation of air bubble at discharge valve. When air bubbles stop emitting from discharge tap, it indicates that complete air has been removed out. At this stage the discharge valve is closed. Once steam pressure reaches to desired value, safety valve is set open. From this point subject is hold for time as specified in table 1. After holding time autoclave is switched off and allows cooling. Then lid is opened and sterilized materials are taken out.
Applications of Autoclave:
1. Autoclaves are widely used in microbiology, veterinary science, mycology etc.
2. It is used to sterilize wide range of material including but not limited to laboratory glasswares, laboratory equipments and instruments, surgical material including needles, seizures, heat-stable hand gloves, containers, and closures etc.
3. Autoclave is most commonly involved in the sterilization of biological media
2)Laminar air flow:
Aim: To study laminar air flow principle, working and uses.
Principal:
Laminar airflow, also known as laminar air flow (LAF), is a device designed to prevent the equipment and working environment from particles. Laminar airflow units create particle-free working environments by sucking air through a filtration system and exhausting it across a work surface in a laminar air stream.
Working:
Laminar air flow unit works by the use of in-flow laminar air drawn through one or more HEPA filters, designed to create a particle-free working environment and provide product protection. Air is taken through a filtration system and then exhausted across the work surface as part of the laminar flow process.
Commonly, the filtration system comprises a pre-filter and a HEPA filter.
First, the air goes through the pre-filter (panel filter). Next, the fan blows the air towards the HEPA filter. HEPA filter captures the dust, bacteria, and airborne particles. Therefore, the HEPA filtered air is clean and particle-free.
Application:
Laminar flow cabinets are used in laboratories for contamination sensitive processes like plant tissue culture.
Other laboratories processes like media plate preparation and culture of organisms can be performed inside the cabinet.
Operations of particle sensitive electronic devices are performed inside the cabinet.
In the pharmaceutical industries, drug preparation techniques are also performed inside the cabinet to ensure a particulate-free environment during the operations.
Laminar flow cabinets can be made tailor-made for some specialized works and can also be used for general lab techniques in the microbiological as well as the industrial sectors.
3) Oven dryer:
Aim:To study oven dryer principle,working and uses.
Principle & working:
Sterilization by dry heat is performed by conduction. The temperature is consumed by the surface of the objects, then moves towards the core of the object, coating by coating. The whole object will ultimately attain the temperature needed for sterilization to take place.
Dry heat causes most of the injury by oxidizing particles. The primary cell components are damaged and the organism dies. The temperature is kept for about an hour to eliminate the most ambitious of the resistant spores.
Uses:
- No need to water to sterilize the material.
- Not much pressure is created like autoclave which creates it easy to manage and also makes it safer to work with.
- In a laboratory environment, it is more fitting to use as compared to other sterilizers.
- Hot air oven is much smaller in size as compared to autoclaves and also more effective.
- A hot air oven can be more speedy than an autoclave and higher temperature can be achieved as compared to other means.
- The operating procedure is simple as compared to other sterilization methods.
- Its price is low as compared to autoclave.

About Geranium:-
Geranium essential oil is derived by steam distillation of the leaves of Pelargonium graveolens, a plant species native to South Africa. According to folklore, it was used for a wide range of health conditions.
Geranium oil is grown in many regions, including Europe and Asia. There are many varieties and strains of the pink flower with a fresh, floral fragrance. Each variety differs in scent, but is near-identical in terms of composition, benefits, and uses.
Geranium essential oil can be diluted with a such as sesame oil, and used topically on the skin. You can use it as a spot treatment for acne or itchy skin, or as a massage oil.
Some carrier oils may cause an allergic reaction when applied to the skin. Prior to using, do a patch test on a small area to make sure it doesn’t cause a reaction.
Geranium oil benefits:-
Because geranium oil is a natural anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory oil, it actively boosts skin’s health and natural glow. By helping skin stay conditioned, and soothing irritated or breakout prone skin, it fights against skin affected by harsh weather conditions or prone to acne

Make Jaggery Syrup
8. jaggery block instead. Chop it finely and measure the chopped jaggery in a ½ cup measuring cup
9. Add 2 tablespoons of water.
10. Heat the kadai (wok) or pan on a low flame. Then, use a spatula or spoon to stir the jaggery syrup until the jaggery dissolves.
11. Continue to stir the mixture continuously.
12. The jaggery syrup should begin to thicken. Continue to stir the syrup on a low flame.
13. Add cold water to a bowl and keep it close by. Then add a few drops of jaggery syrup to the water to check the consistency of the jaggery syrup as it cooks.
14. The syrup will thicken and begin to bubble.
15. Continue to cook jaggery syrup on low heat and stir often.
16. Cook the mixture until it starts to thicken. The color of the syrup will change and darken. At this point, the syrup should be stirred non-stop to prevent burning.
17. Eventually the syrup should resemble molten liquid mass.
18. Check the consistency by adding a few drops of the jaggery syrup to the cold water. The jaggery syrup should be firm, brittle, and snap easily. This is referred to as the hard ball stage.
Make Peanut-Chikki
19. Once the jaggery syrup is the right consistency, add the peanuts quickly.
20. Mix the jaggery syrup and peanuts until well combined.
21. Switch off the heat and quickly pour the chikki mixture onto a greased plate or marble board.
22. Place foil, butter paper, or parchment paper on the chikki mixture. Use a rolling pin to flatten the chikki mixture into one even layer.
23. After rolling the chikki mixture, remove the parchment paper.
24. After removing the paper, carefully cut the chikki into equal-sized squares.
25. Leave the chopped chikki to cool at room temperature.
26. Once the peanut chikki has cooled down break and serve. If you want to serve the chikki at a later time then store it in an airtight jar at room temperature.
