The lab required pressing two toothpicks against the skin simultaneously. It was difficult to press down both toothpicks at the same time and this skewed the results. When the toothpicks weren’t pressed down at the same time‚ it felt like one point‚ then another

Hugh Kim Lab Report: Stoichiometry Lab 1. Prelab Part1. 1) Create no waste = The principle that encourages chemists to not create waste at the first place rather than cleaning it up afterwards effectively shifts the chemistry more environmentally conscious‚ as creating no waste would make the experiment efficient; the reactants will be reduced to only the essential ones and the product will be maximized‚ a change that would make the experiment economic. Also‚ if chemists aim to

Introduction The human body is kept alive due to an immeasurable amount of chemical reactions that occur in perfect synchronization. Also‚ these reactions take place at an incredibly fast rate; however‚ without enzymes‚ these reactions could possibly take several years to complete. An enzyme is a macromolecule‚ generally a protein‚ that lowers the activation energy of a reaction without being changed by the reaction‚ and this causes the reaction to occur much faster than usual (Campbell et al.

I assert that all ideas and discussion of data contained herein is my own work unless otherwise referenced. Tessa Landauer Abstract The goal of the experiment was to isolate and purify the unknown D liquid and solid by using its acidic and basic characteristics in a chemically active extraction then to identify the unknowns by analyzing the physical properties on IR and NMR

dioxide‚ water‚ and energy required for the body to function. More scientifically‚ it is a three-step pathway that produces ATP (adenosine triphosphate.) The three stages of cellular respiration are: glycolysis‚ the citric acid cycle‚ and electron transport. Ethanol is a volatile‚ colorless liquid and is considered a psychoactive drug. Ethanol is generally known to have depressant effects on the central nervous system. If you subject mealworms to a 95% ethanol solution‚ then the rate of cellular respiration

The Effect of Substrate Concentration on Initial Reaction Rate The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between substrate concentration and initial reaction rate provided that substrate concentration is much greater than enzyme concentration. Enzymes are essential to life as they are required for many vital metabolic reactions to occur. To adequately explain the properties of enzymes‚ it is assumed that an enzyme-controlled reaction takes place through an enzyme-substrate

I. Introduction: The purpose of this lab report is to differentiate between of Newton’s Third Law and Newton’s Second Law. Newton’s Third Law states that all forces come in pairs and that the two forces in a pair act on different objects and are equal in strength and opposite in direction. Newton’s Second Law states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object being accelerated. Using calculation equations for acceleration

Presence of Alu element within PV92 on chromosome 18 in a mixed ethnical population and its connection with humans’ ancestral origins By Shiyu Song Biology 155Q LAB-A: 14:30-17:30 Dr. Jacob April 17th 2013 Abstract The Alu insertion (+) within PV92 on chromosome 16 usually reflects a person’s ancestral origin. This study aimed to find the correlation between the presences of Alu insertion (+) within PV92 on chromosome 16 within a population. We used PCR to detect the Alu insertions

Spinach was dehydrated using ethanol‚ and the pigments were extracted with dichloromethane. The spinach extracts were dried using CaCl2. Then‚ the solid pigments were run through a column using a non-polar solvent‚ hexane

Background The melting point of a compound is the temperature at which the solid is in equilibrium with its liquid. A solid compounds changes to a liquid when the molecules acquire enough energy to overcome the forces holding them together. A mixture melting point is useful in confirming and used to indentify an unknown compound‚ which we will be doing in this particular experiment. Purpose Measure the melting points of pure benzoic acid and pure mandelic acid. Determine the eutectic composition
