Title: Preparation and isolation of an Ester Aim: To make an ester and purify it Background Theory: Esters are derived from carboxylic acids and alcohols with the presence of a catalyst. A carboxylic acid contains the -COOH group‚ and in an ester the hydrogen in this group is replaced by a hydrocarbon group of some kind. Sulfuric acid (H2SO4)is used as a catalyst for this reaction in order to accelerate the rate at which the product is formed. The general formula of an ester is RCOOR’ in

Kinetic Art Kinetic art: the art of motion. Kinetic art contains a/or several moving parts and depends on motion for its effect. The motion of the art work can be provided in virtually any way. It can be powered by natures elements; wind‚ wave power from water‚ or heat from a fire; It can also be powered mechanically through electricity‚ steam‚ clockwork using earths natural phenomena’s ‚ gravity‚ motors‚ or even through the observer such as cranking a handle‚ or giving a push.

Introduction: This lab helps further our understanding of essential principles behind diffusion and osmosis. Permeability‚ concentration gradients‚ plasmolysis‚ water potential‚ and equilibrium were also concepts that were delved into in this lab. Understanding how diffusion and osmosis works is essential to understanding biology. Each time a cell has something move into or out of it‚ some sort of principle studied in this lab is occurring. Diffusion‚ osmosis‚ and passive and active transport are

INTRODUCTION Enzyme is a biological catalyst that acts on a molecule called substrate and it also significantly speed up a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy. In order to learn about the enzyme and its behaviour‚ this lab practical is conducted to examine the kinetic of the enzyme alkaline phosphatase. As illustration‚ when alkaline phosphatase is added to a substrate called p-Nitrophenyl phosphate (colourless in alkaline solution)‚ a series of reaction takes place and eventually releases

The idea of kinetic art is getting a bit of a workout at the moment. MIT Museum recently hosted “year of kinetic art‚ including “5000 Moving Parts‚” a kinetic art exhibiton featuring large-scale works by Arthur Ganson‚ Anne Lilly‚ Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and John Douglas Powers. Plus the Kinetic Art Organization has published a digital “International Collection of Essays About Kinetic Art—2013—volume 1.” The two don’t overlap: The MIT show highlights a somewhat different segment of artists working

Enzyme Kinetics Marcos‚ Nelissa S. Institute of Chemistry‚ University of the Philippines‚ Diliman‚ Quezon City 1101 Philippines ABSTRACT The rationale of the experiment is basically founded in the concept of reaction rates as affected by enzyme‚ and how the enzyme works is competed by a competitive inhibitor‚ thereby impeding the forward reaction. In this experiment‚ o-diphenol oxidase‚ an enzyme that causes the browning in fruits‚ was extracted from banana and reaction rate of this was established

AP Biology Photosynthesis Lab Bethany Boyer Due 11/12/14 Lab Write-Up Questions First Experiment 1) The independent variable in this experiment was the presence of CO2 (carbon dioxide). The dependent variable was the speed at which the leaf disks started to float. 2) In the leaf tissue‚ the bicarbonate and light are combining to carry out photosynthesis. This will cause oxygen to collect in the leaf tissue‚ causing it to rise. 3) If we were to boil the leaf disks‚ the reaction would most likely
