Chemical Senses OLFACTION The sense of smell. Begins with the detection of molecules suspended in the air Olfactory stimuli Must be soluble in fat Taken through the nostrils and circulated within the nasal cavities connected to the nostrils. Olfactory epithelium Thin sheet of cells which contain neural receptors for olfaction Contains olfactory receptor cells and glia-type support cells that produce mucus Also contains basal cells which give rise to new receptors when needed Olfactory

Chemical Proportionality (Carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid) Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is what happens when a solid substance‚ a metal carbonate is added slowly to a solution of an acid. We are finding methods of determining acid concentration. For us to balance certain equations‚ we will use a stoichiometry. For this experiment‚ we will need to set up the ratio and finding the concentration of HCI. Procedure: • Grab 4 different beakers. • Add a small amount of sodium carbonate

Another postulate of the kinetic molecular theory is that gas particles are always in motion‚ like the other states of matter. But they are different in that they undergo random translational movement. In solids‚ the particles mainly experience vibrational motion and in liquids they mainly vibrate and rotate‚ with some translational motion. Gas particles move rapidly in straight lines‚ unless acted upon by another particle or the walls of a container. This continuous contact with the container leads

Chemistry 12: Reaction Kinetics Review 1. Looking at the expressions for reaction rate‚ write expressions with which you could express rates for the following reactions. (Hint: look at what happens to reactants and products.) Recall that solid or liquids can lose or gain mass‚ gases can lose or gain volume and aqueous solutions can increase or decrease in concentration. ("a" is done as an example.) a) Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) H2(g) + MgCl2(aq) reaction rate = mass of Mg consumed unit time b) c) or

Chemical Separation Introduction: The objective of this experiment was to extract the pigments from spinach leaves‚ perform Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) on the spinach leaf extract‚ and then determine the best solvent mixture to use to separate the pigments in the extract. The pigments are located inside the chloroplast walls in the cells of the spinach leaves. In order to obtain the pigments the cell walls must be broken down thus exposing the pigment containing chloroplasts. Upon
