    Summary Of Casein Unknown # 7

    Glucose exposure resulted in a yellow color change proving that Unknown #7 fermented glucose and produced an acid but when exposed to Sucrose Unknown #7 produced a red color change indicating that it was a non-fermented of sucrose which was reflected with an alkaline bi-product. The Enterotubes showed that Unknown #7 was an "enteric" bacterium with a score of "46141" Lysine, Adonitol, Lactose, Dulcitol/Phenylalanine, and Harnstoff/Uree were all negative, while Ornithine, Arabinose, and Sorbitol were proven to be positive. The IMViC test identifies members of Enterobacteriaceae and included Indole that tested negative, Methyl Red which produced a red color change showing that Unknown #7 could ferment glucose to acidic ends, Vogves Proskaer which tested negative because Unknown #7 failed to convert those acidic bi-products back to neutral ends, and Citrate which tested positive with a blue color change and growth on the medium because Unknown #7 was able utilize citrate. The Nitrate Reduction test displayed Incomplete Reduction with a red color change when Solution A and B were added meaning that it could only reduce NO3- to NO2-…

    Chem 1211K Lab Report

    The identification of the melting point of the organic acid was done to find another characteristic of the acid and to test the purity of the recrystallized pure acid. A 2-4 mm layer of unknown sample was placed into a capillary tube sealed on one end. Then the capillary tube was inserted into the side a Bibby Sterlin device. The plateau was set to 200°C on the melting point apparatus. Once the plateau temperature was reached, the sample was watched carefully. When the sample first began to melt and when it was fully melted was recorded. These numbers were the range of the melting point. A slow melting point of the unknown organic acid and a standard sample was completed next. A new plateau was set about 10°C lower than the observed melting point of the unknown sample. This time once the plateau was reached, the heating was no more than 1°C per minute. This gave a much more accurate read of both melting points. If the standard did not melt in the range listed on the label of the bottle, that meant the machine was not working properly. The standard sample and the unknown organic acid melted in their appropriate ranges.…

    A buffer is a solution that resists changes in pH when H+, OH-, or H20 is added. By using standard lab equipment, a lab pro diagnostic tool, and acidic and basic solutions, the pH can be found. By recording the pH while adding a base or an acid gradually to a buffer solution you can find the capacity of each buffer to resist drastic changes in pH. The best buffers will keep a solution from becoming either too acidic or basic with the addition of a strong base or acid.…

    Chem 3418 Organic Chemistry Laboratory I Acid Base Review

    Definition In general, an acid is a substance that can donate a proton (H+) and a base is a substance that can accept a proton. Any proton in an organic molecule can potentially be donated. The most acidic proton in a molecule would be donated first. Any lone pair in an organic molecule can act as the proton acceptor. An acid (HA) reacts with a base (in this case H2O) to form the conjugate base of the acid (A-) and the conjugate acid of the base (H3O+).…

    The study of kinetics is important for studying the amount of time it takes for a particular reaction to reach completion. By comparing two solutions of dye that have different concentrations, the reaction rate can be experimentally found. At this point, reaction rates can only be determined experimentally and cannot be calculated. The equation Rate=k[Dye]y can be determined for all its variables, but because the second part of the lab was not completed, the entire rate law equation of Rate=k[OCl-]x[Dye]y cannot be determined because changes in the bleach concentration were not measured. The experimental data will be analyzed using Beer’s Law. By plotting the data in an excel graph, the slope will give the concentration of the dye over time in seconds. With this information, the “y” value can be calculated and the rate law equation completed.…

    As indicated by the diagrams above, both TLC plate tests went as expected and showed that the separation went very well. For the TLC plate in toluene, both the fluorene and fluorenone shifted, but the fluorenone shifted farther. This is expected since the polarity of toluene and fluorenone are more similar. However, since fluorene shifted to some degree as well, this indicates that fluorene is slightly soluble in toluene. Since the Rf values are 0.53 for fluorenone and 0.29, the test went as expected since fluorenone is more soluble in toluene. For the TLC plate in hexane, the fluorene moved up while the fluorenone stayed on the line, which was expected. The Rf values were 0.82 for fluorene and 0 for fluorenone. Overall the purpose was fulfilled as the TLC plates indicate that the two substances were separated well and also the IR spectra indicate that the experimental IR is very similar to the literature value.…
