Plant Pigments and Photosynthesis Problem: We are going to separate and identify pigments and other molecules from cell extracts through a process called chromatography. We will also test the theory that light and chloroplasts are required for light reactions to occur. Background: Pigments are chemical compounds which reflect only certain wavelengths of visible light. This is what makes them seem colorful. Many things contain pigments including flowers‚ corals‚ and even skin. More important than

BALANCE LAB Introduction The purpose of this lab is to become familiar with how to use the ChemLab program for determining mass using both the centigram balance and the electronic balance. Using the centigram balance‚ the mass‚ in grams‚ of a copper slug will be determined by both direct weighing and weighing by difference techniques. Using an electronic balance‚ the wight of a copper slug will be determined by also utilizing direct weighing and weighing by difference. Average mass of a

The hypothesis for this lab was that Core B will be the least flexible due to a loss in water. Unfortunately‚ my results led my hypothesis to be incorrect. The results that were received was that Core C was the most flexible‚ Core B was somewhat flexible‚ and Core A was not flexible and stiff. Core A was the most non-adjustable due to it being hypertonic which means that the total concentration of all the dissolved solute particles is greater than the other solution. Core B was isotonic meaning

Purpose: In this lab‚ a mixture of naphthalene (C10H8)‚ common table salt (NaCl)‚ and sea sand (SiO2) will be separated using the separation techniques in order to demonstrate the properties of mixtures and their ability to be separated by physical means. INTRODUCTION: This lab was based on the separation of the components of a mixture. A mixture can be defined as a physical combination of two or more pure substances. Separation techniques are used to separate components that are not chemically

Concentration Dependence of Reaction Rates Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to determine the differential rate law for a chemical reaction based on the relationship between the concentration of reactants and the rate of reaction. Since spectrophotometers‚ like Spec-20s‚ provide information about concentration‚ these instruments were used to monitor the increase or decrease in concentration of a reactant in a solution over time. By plotting [phph2-] versus time and changing the concentration

various methods available to synthesize aspirin lead to the need to examine and evaluate production efficiency and purity. The purpose of our experiment was to synthesize aspirin from acetyl anhydride‚ salicylic acid‚ and sulfuric acid. And then determine the relative purity of the synthesized sample. The procedure performed in our experiment involved chemically reacting salicylic acid and acetic anhydride in order to form acetyl salicylic acid. The limiting reactant in this chemical reaction was

different than the others‚ but the lab cannot be preformed solo. When it comes to improving the lab‚ there aren’t to many ways to ensure accurate measurements due to the fact that in any experiment there are human and environment variables that cannot be accounted for‚ or even prepared for. In any experiment there will always be human error. Group Lab Report The purpose of this lab is to use a variety of analytical skills and methods to determine the empirical formula of an unknown compound. There

Jahzeel Morales AP Chemistry December 12‚ 2014 Determination of the Molar Mass of Volatile Liquids Theory: Molar masses‚ can be seen and used daily in chemistry. In this lab‚ the ideal gas law helps determine and evaluate the molar mass of gases and volatile liquids. The ideal gas law compares four properties of a gas which include pressure‚ volume‚ moles‚ and temperature. During this experiment‚ the moles would be unknown‚ in effect the student must use a substance mass divided by its molar mass
