string to a 50 g weight hanger and drape the string over the pulley. The string length should be such that‚ when one hanger hits the floor‚ the upper part of the other hanger is near the pulley‚ without touching the pulley. (You may find that the lab assistant has already set up the apparatus as described here. If so‚ double check the setup.) 2. Place equal masses of approximately 1000 g on each weight hanger. These masses should include four 5 g masses at the top of the left hanger. Hold back

Microbiology Laboratory Report Identification of Unknown Bacteria 03/10/05- 04/01/05 Authors: Richard Hendricks‚ Jessica Prebish; NMU Abstract: Broth culture 16 was randomly selected by our group and subjected to qualitative tests for taxonomic identification. The culture did appear homogenous throughout the testing period and is currently retained by Northern Michigan University’s department of Microbiology. We suggest that culture 16 is an example of Escherichia coli. Background: Techniques

Post-Lab Report for Experiment 2: Cooperative Identification of an organic Solid October 6‚ 2013 Introduction: This experiment was focused on the cooperative identification of organic compound by its chemical properties such as: slow melting point‚ mixed melting point‚ Rf values in TLC experiment‚ IR spectrum analysis‚ and H NMR spectra. Such data can provide the the identity of functional groups and the identity of the compound itself. In this experiment

Joe Schmoe Period 3 March 8‚ 2013 Lab Report: Empirical Formula of Zinc Chloride (ZnCl) * Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to learn how to determine the empirical formula. Empirical means “based on experimental evidence.” * Experimental Design The reaction that occurred was the reaction of the elements Zinc (Zn) and Chloride (Cl) by mixing a piece(s) of Zinc and 50mL of Hydrochloric Acid (HCl). The amount of Zinc was determined to be between 1.00g and 1.25g. As the reaction

INTRODUCTION: Carboxylic acids are organic acids characterized by the presence of a carboxyl group‚ -COOH. This acid acts as a weak acid‚ which can react with a strong base. Carboxylic acids form hydrogen bonds with many water molecules and are more soluble with one to four carbon atoms. Also‚ it may have an R group that consist of hydrogen or an alkyl group that changes its water solubility. Carboxylic acids with low molecular weight have odor at room temperature and higher molecular weight
