The purpose of this lab is to learn how SPE can be used to identify trace amounts of Vanillin. Stock solution of vanillin in water with concentration of 50 ppm was prepared. Four solutions with concentration of 5 ppm‚ 1 ppm‚ 0.5 ppm and 0.1 ppm were made from stock solution. UV-Vis spectra of standard solution was recorded at 229

heat is given out. From this reason the reactant energy is higher than that of the product. The energy is given out when forming the bonds between the new water and carbon dioxide molecules. The amount of energy produced by such exothermic reactions can be calculated by using the formula Mass of the substance x rise in temp x SHC (specific heat capacity). The specific heat capacity is the number of joules required to heat one gram of water by 1°C. I chose to use water because it is safe‚ easily found

Substance Abuse In B.C The overdose problem in B.C has seen a recent spike in the last four years‚ this has been largely due to overdoses related to fentanyl use.

The experiment also existed two other uncontrolled variables which are the size of liver and the amount of Hydrogen Peroxide‚ hence altering the authenticity of the practical result. At each of the five experimental group‚ there were variations amongst the amount of Hydrogen Peroxide and the size of beef liver‚ which can be a problem because in a well controlled and designed experiment‚ there is only one independent variable.
