Lab 5 Acid/Base Extractions Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to separate either the organic base (amine) or organic acid (carboxylic acid) from a mixture that contains inorganic impurities (salt) by performing a liquid-liquid extraction and then taking a melting point. Key Experimental Details and Observations Our starting material‚ Compound B‚ was a fine white powder and weighed 0.535g. The final product was a shiny white sheet that resembled acrylic paint and weighed 0.109g

VINEGAR (ACETIC ACID) AS ALTERNATIVE BATTERY Battery or more precisely‚ a cell – is a device in which the reaction between two substances can be made to occur in such a way that some of the chemical energy is converted to useful electricity. Since its invention‚ the battery has become the most common power source for many household and industrial applications. There are many ways to construct a battery‚ as well as ways to control its generated output. This Home-made Vinegar Battery is a battery

“Pineapple peelings as vinegar” “Pineapple peelings as vinegar” *Abstract*- The pineapple ( Ananas comosus) is a tropical plant and fruit (multiple)‚ nativeto Uruguay‚ Brazil‚ and Paraguay. It is a medium tall (1±1.5m) Herbaceous perennialplant with 30 or more trough-shaped and pointed leaves 30±100 cm long‚ surrounding at hick stem. The pineapple is an example of a multiple fruit: multiple‚ spirally-arranged flowers along the axis each produce a fleshy fruit that becomes pressed against the

Proteins are a diverse group of macromolecules with many different functions (Mbuthia‚ 2012). Many are structural components of bone‚ muscle‚ hair‚ tissue‚ etc. Others are enzymes that speed up cellular reactions. All proteins are made up of amino acids (Johnson‚ 2010). The purpose of this experiment is to determine whether peptide bonds are present in various food substances. The color violet will indicate the presence of proteins. The more intense the color is‚ the greater number of peptide bonds

AP Biology Lab: Catalase (Enzymes) Abstract In this laboratory exercise‚ studies of enzyme catalase‚ which accelerates the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The purpose was to isolate catalase from starch and measure the rate of activity under different conditions. The laboratory was also conducted in association with a second laboratory that measured the effects of an inhibitor on the enzymes. Changes in temperature and pH along with Substrate Concentration and Enzyme

Organic Chemistry II Lab 9 Fermentation of a Carbohydrate: Ethanol from Sucrose * Introduction Ethanol is one of the oldest alcohols and also the least toxic one. Industrially‚ ethanol is made most economically by hydration of ethylene. However‚ ethanol that is intended for human consumption must‚ by law‚ be prepared by fermentation. By either method‚ ethanol‚ of course‚ has the same formula‚ structure‚ and properties. The fermentation takes place with the assistance of enzymes from yeast

EXPERIMENT I Photoreduction of Benzophenone Introduction The study of chemical reactions‚ isomerizations and physical behavior that may occur under the influence of visible and/or ultraviolet light is called Photochemistry. The fundamental principles for understanding photochemical transformations are that light must be absorbed by a compound in order for a photochemical reaction to take place‚ and that for each photon of light absorbed by a chemical system only one molecule is activated for

Introduction Carboxylic acids is an organic compound that contains a carboxylic group(-COOH). Its general formula is R-C=OOH with R referring to the rest of the molecule such as H and C. They are directly attached to a carbonyl group and the interaction between them affects the reactions of each. The polarity of the O-H bond
