Analysis: Lab 1 Identifying Carbohydrates There were many ranges of color changes in the Benedicts test and Iodine stain. For the Benedicts test‚ this oxidation/reduction response changes the arrangement of the reducing sugar creating a colored precipitate. The change in color is correlated to the first concentration of the reducing sugar. For the iodine test‚ the three dimensional structure of various polysaccharides permits them to react with the iodine stain to produce a certain color. As far

the discount rate so they can account for a future value. The reason this rate is used is because an amount today would not be worth the same amount in the future since it could gain interest. Understanding the discount rate helps grasp an idea on how much money will be needed today in order to pay for the future but if no investments are made for the future‚ then the damage done by climate change over time could considerably exceed what would have been the cheaper option. If left neglected‚ climate

Investigation: 20 How much cobalt is in the soil? Introduction: By completion of investigation 20‚ a standard curve of absorbance versus known cobalt (II) nitrate was prepared. The concentration of cobalt (II) ion obtained from a soil sample was determined. Whether or not cobalt nitrate should be added to the soil was determined. If cobalt nitrate needs to be added‚ then how much will it be required to meet the necessary nutritional needs of the animals was established. In colorimetry
