Title: The effect on temperature on beet cell membranes. Introduction A cell membrane or plasma membrane is very important in protecting cells. A cell membrane is a thin layer that protects the cells. The membrane is filled with lipids and proteins. The cell membrane protects the cell from ions and molecules that enter and exit the cells. I hypothesize that at -5 degrees Celsius‚ the color intensity will be a 1. I hypothesize that at 5 degrees Celsius‚ the color intensity will be a 2

Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to determine the effect that temperature has on the growth and respiration of yeast fermentation. The growth and respiration of the yeast can be determined by using a glucose/ yeast solution mixed with water in flasks set at different temperatures. Yeast in order to produce‚ has to make energy‚ to carry out all cellular functions (Spicer‚ & Holbrook‚ 2007). The concept that aerobic metabolism of all yeasts‚ is determined by the relative sizes of the

Introduction Enthalpy change‚ ΔH‚ is defined as the heat output of a system as it goes through a reaction under constant pressure. It is an important aspect of thermochemistry‚ which is the study of energy changes during a chemical or physical reaction . When we calculate enthalpy change‚ we always assume that the pressure is constant. We are able to calculate enthalpy change numerous ways‚ notably by the increase in heat‚ Q‚ given by an exothermic reaction or the heat absorbed by an endothermic

This experiment will test the suggestion that the enthalpy change between a metal and a solution of a salt is related to the relative position of the two metals in the reactivity. Presumably the further apart in the series the bigger the enthalpy change will be. The experiment is as follows‚ 1) Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) ZnSO4(aq) + Cu(s) 2) Zn(s) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) Zn(NO3)2 (aq) + Pb(s) Both of the solutions will be in 1mol.dm-3 Apparatus: Distilled Water Polystyrene Cup

Determination of specific heat Capacity of a solid by electrical method Introduction Thermal conductivity heat is transferred as a consequence of temperature difference between 2 bodies‚ heat energy passes form a hotter to the colder body. Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required in joules to raise 1kg of a substance by 1 degree Celsius‚ different substances absorb heat energy at different rates not all substances require the same amount of heat energy to increase the

Unit 6 Problem Set 1: Applying Thermal Expansion Learning Objectives and Outcomes Calculate the thermal expansions of solids and liquids. Assignment Requirements Complete the following problem. Show all of you work. The formula for the linear expansion of a solid is given by: An iron rod (α = 11.8 x 10-6 C-1) has a length of 1000 meters (or 1 km) at 0 degrees Celsius. If the rod must expand 10 cm to bridge a gap‚ to what temperature must the rod be heated? Increase in L = a*(T-To)L

Calorimetry: Enthalpy of Neutralization Introduction: The purpose of this lab experiment was to determine the molar concentration of the unknown HCl by using a coffee cup calorimeter. A coffee cup calorimeter is made of Styrofoam cups with a thermometer that is placed from the top and into the calorimeter to measure the temperature as the reaction happens. The Styrofoam cup used for the calorimeter creates an isolated system as it acts as a heat insulator between the cup and the surrounding

Data collection and processing Qualitative observation Before * Blue solution of copper sulfate * Grey zinc powder During * Blue color solution changes to greyish black * Heat is given out‚ so the surroundings become hotter. After * Grey powder remains on the sides of the cup * Precipitate formed at the bottom of the cup List of chemicals and apparatus used Chemicals used Copper sulfate solution‚ 1 mol dm-3 25g of zinc powder Apparatus needed

In my experiment‚ I investigated the question “How does the amount of solute affect the time it takes for the solute to dissolve?” I thought about this question for a very long time and come up with a hypothesis for the investigation was “If the amount of solute increases‚ then the time for the solute to dissolve will increase. This is because the solute will become more concentrated and it won’t disolve into the solvent as fast. (Sadner‚ 2008)” Looking at the data I collected‚ I think that this

It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it has been created. Energy requirements of chemical processes should be recognized for their environmental and economic impacts and should be minimized. If possible‚ synthetic methods should be conducted at ambient temperature and pressure. Chemist Vilas Pol came up with an environmentally green method that breaks down plastics and transforms them into a highly usable substance for society. Chemist Vilas Pol inserted plastic bags
