11:00 AM: I been having an issue with the pure saliva needing more base to titrate than the saliva + corn oil. Dr. Bass had an interesting theory that he's going to explain to me later if it proves more relevant, but it has something to do with the PH and pKa and organic chemistry stuff. Dr. Arrington and I come up with a new procedure that was quite successful, but it may not be completely plausible. By successful, I mean, the saliva + corn oil took more base than the pure saliva. By not completely plausible, I mean, there was a 4 ml initial volume difference between the two, but I'm sure that can be resolved by a filler, like H2O.
Overall: It's amazing how the time is flying by. I'm already feeling pressure about the final paper and presentation. I need guidance.
