INTRODUCTION In this lab‚ we will be measuring the viscosity of samples of polyvinyl alcohols in order to determine the molecular mass of their components. Polyvinyl alcohol is an example of a synthetic polymer‚ which is a macromolecule. The general chemical structure of such compounds are well-characterized‚ although variation in characteristics such as molar mass‚ chain length‚ and extent of branching are not obvious from merely looking at their molecular formula. There is also the complication

Chem 201 Lab October 21‚ 2011 Lab #6: Preparation of 2-chloro-2-methylbutane – an Sn 1 Reaction Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to prepare an alkyl halide‚ 2-chloro-2-methylbutane by reacting 2-methyl -2-butanol (t-amyl alcohol) with hydrochloric acid. Alkyl halides are of wide interest because they are widespread and have diverse beneficial and detrimental impacts .The overall reaction is given below: Procedure 1 ml of 2-methyl-2-butanol was measured using 1 ml syringe and

Lab Report for Chemical Changes and Conservation of Mass Lab Previous to the reaction‚ the magnesium appeared to be a solid‚ white‚ black‚ and grey substance with many small dark particles within the substance. The hydrochloric acid was a clear liquid that looked like water It weighed 42.2 grams in total. During the reaction‚ the two substances produced bubbles‚ creating smoke and became warm with a smell that is irritating to the human nose. After the reaction‚ it appeared to be a clear‚ bubbly

Lab 2 Physics 190 Acceleration “g” Due to Gravity – Method 2 Introduction Tonight we will measure the acceleration due to gravity again. This time however‚ we will collect more data and the analysis will be different. We will first fit the data using a second order polynomial. Recall for a mass falling from rest‚ that 1 (1.1) y a yt 2 2 Suppose a mass falls through n successively greater displacements‚ each time starting from rest. The displacements can be expressed a 2 y y t ;

AP BIOLOGY Lab 5 Cellular Respiration Objective: To calculate the rate of CR from the data. To then relate gas production to respiration rate. Then test the rate of CR in germinating versus non-germinating seeds in a controlled experiment and then test the effect of temperature on the rate of CR in the germinating versus non-germinated seeds in a controlled experiment. Analysis: 1. The CR is higher in the germinating peas in the cold water rather than in the beads or non-germinating peas

The Silver Spring Monkey Case which involves the mistreatment of monkeys in The Institute for Behavioral Research started People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) turned out to be one of the biggest‚ most profitable‚ and fast growing animal rights groups. PETA and its founder Alex Pacheco attracted the public’s attention with the Silver Spring Monkey Case and the reaction of the public and other animal right’s associations started an animal rights revolution.

Introduction: Copper (II) Chloride is the compound with a chemical formula of CuCl2. This is a light brown solid‚ which slowly absorbs moisture to form a blue green dihydrate. Copper (II) Chloride is highly soluble in water and will produce a blue solution. solutioAluminum is the compound that has a chemical formula of Al. This is a silver solid that can be easily formed‚ machined‚ or cast. In this lab‚ we will be finding the limiting reactant between Copper(II) Chloride and Aluminum. The limiting

Flame Test Lab Question: When a compound is placed in the flame of a burner‚ what happens to the color of the flame? Hypothesis: When the compound is placed in the flame‚ the flame changes color depending on the chemical compound. When they’re heated‚ they gain energy and changed color sometimes. Safety Requirements for this Lab: Wear goggles at all times. If you want to remove them to write in your notebook you may sit at a table in the center of the room. When you sit down remove them
