Introduction: The technique used in this experiment is recrystallization. Recrystallization is an often-used method for purifying solids. Recrystallization works by taking advantage of the different solubility properties of compounds‚ and allows impurities to be removed from crude solids. Performing a recrystallization is usually a straightforward task. First‚ you add a small amount of solvent to the impure compound in a flask‚ and heat the contents until all the material has dissolved. Then‚ you

Discussion The main findings of the present study were that the number of push up significantly in male than female‚ in contrast to the pulse rate‚ could be attributed at least partially to the greater aerobic fitness in male compared to the female students (see Figure 2). With thorough analysis of the results‚ the null hypothesis has been proven correct as there is no significant difference in the mean maximal pulse rate change of subjects who could do fewer than 20 push-ups and subjects

Field investigation of an ecosystem Located 20km out of Portland; Bridgewater Bay has many secluded rock pool locations that are accessible to biologists for investigation. In this experiment‚ the aim was to study small sections of a rock poll that contained a distribution of organisms. These organisms that were located were found in the littoral zone of Bridgewater’s rocky seashore. A littoral zone is made up of a community of aquatic organisms habiting the narrow strip of coast. The organisms

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

and placed in the thermal cycle. Gel electrophoresis is being run in order to analyze and compare the DNA samples at the crime scene with the guilty suspects. Gel electrophoresis is used to separate DNA using an electric current applied to the gel matrix‚ which causes the DNA samples to move towards the positive charge. The results obtain from the gel electrophoresis able to concluded the which suspect have been at the crime scene by analyzing against the

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

Abstract By working with physical isopods‚ ordinarily known as pill bugs‚ sow bugs or roly- polies‚ we tried whether these sowbugs favored a dark spot to a light place. Included in the lab are a few outlines and tables sketching out our aftereffects of the test. We measured recurrence

Effects of pH on the Function of Enzymes Rena Mototani Glen Rock High School Advanced Biology 2014-2015 Effects of pH on the Function of Catalase Rena Mototani Problem: How does the pH of a cell affect the function of the enzyme catalase? Introduction In this lab‚ we experimented the effects of pH on the function of the enzyme catalase. Catalase is an enzyme that brings about the reaction by which hydrogen peroxide is decomposed to water and oxygen (Encyclopedia Britannica). The

EXPERIMENT NO. 1 INTRODUCTION TO LAB INSTRUMENTS. 1. BREADBOARD We should be familiar to the following things about a breadboard: * What is a breadboard and what is it used for? * How does it work? * Setting Up. * Limitations. What is a breadboard and what is it used for? A breadboard (or protoboard) is usually a construction base for prototyping of electronics. The term "breadboard" is commonly used to refer to a solderless breadboard (plugboard). It was designed by
