Discussion: The experiment lacked a proper control - While the experiment could not answer the research question‚ this does not disprove the possibility for the choice of bread to affect blood glucose levels; the obtained results were simply not sufficient to prove a connection. This might be due to several reasons‚ but as the experiment lacked a control subject which the other values could have been compared to‚ the results are completely unusable. However‚ there is no consistency in the results

In this laboratory voltmeters where utilized to take reading of three different electrochemical reactions: Pb/Zn‚ Pb/Cu‚ and Zn/Cu. A salt bridge was placed between two reactions containing metal strips in separate aq solutions. The salt bridge was placed in order to balance the reaction. The voltage measurements for Pb/Zn‚ Pb/Cu‚ and Zn/Cu where .595 V‚ .479 V‚ and 1.072 V accordingly. The values obtained where then used to determine the voltage value for the reduction half. The resulting cell potential

affecting the rate of reaction‚ PNPP (p-nitrophenyl phosphate) + H20 ? PNP (p-nitrophenol) + H3P04. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme phosphatase. Different environments produced different reaction rates as environmental factors affect the efficiency of phosphatase. This is because environmental factors can change the tertiary structure of phosphatase‚ which alters its active site‚ and thus changes its efficiency to catalyze the reaction. We measured the rate of reaction‚ by using a chromogenic

purpose of this lab was to find the theoretical and experimental percentage yields of the double displacement reaction between the solutions Lead (II) Nitrate (PbNO3) and Potassium Iodide (KI). It is important to obtain amounts of Lead (II) Nitrate and Potassium Iodide as close to 1.44g as possible. This reaction creates Lead (II) Iodide and Potassium Nitrate. The precipitate during this reaction is Lead (II) Iodide. The balanced equation is Pb(NO3)2 + 2KI= PbI2 + 2KNO3. In this lab the Lead (II) Iodide

Redox Titration Lab ABSTRACT: In this lab‚ 0.010 M purple-colored potassium permanganate solution was standardized by redox titration with iron (II) ammonium sulfate hexahydrate (FAS). The average mass of the three flasks of FAS was 0.483 grams. Once the concentration of the standard solution of KMnO4 (aq) was determined‚ it was used to determine the concentration of Fe2+ in iron pills. On average‚ there was 0.01813 L of solution used. With this information and the balanced net-ionic equation

Concentration vs Rate of reaction Brandon Introduction A reaction rate is the speed at which a chemical reaction will occur. Heat‚ concentration of a chemical‚ Surface area or a catalyst‚ will affect the rate of reaction. The concentration of a chemical will speed up of the reaction because the reactant particles have become more crowded therefore increasing the chance of productive collisions. In this practical the chemicals will be Sodium thiosulphate and Hydrochloric acid which will produce
