IB Chemistry Experiment 4 Composition of a Post-1983 Penny Lab Report Background: Through the use of percent composition one can easily find out how much of a certain element is in a compound or an item such as a post-1983 penny. The experiment will be using HCl a strong acid to dissolve all the zinc inside the outer copper shell. The reaction follows as such; Zn+2HCLZnCl2+H2‚ but there will be no reaction with copper. The portion that will be measured is the mass of copper left after all of

Bacteria Growth Abstract The purpose of this lab was to determine the effect of disinfectants and antiseptics on bacterial growth. By observing the effects of 5 different inhibitors including alcohol‚ bleach‚ soap solution and distilled water‚ it was determined what antiseptic or disinfectant was able to best inhibit this kind of bacterial growth. Nutrient Agar was poured into a Petri dish with four quadrants and then a pipette was used to place bacterial culture on top. Using forceps‚ a filter disc

Introduction The purpose of this lab was to identify unknown bacteria cultures using various differential tests‚ and my unknown bacteria is #17. The identification of these unknown cultures was accomplished by separating and differentiating possible bacteria based on specific biochemical characteristics. Whether the tests performed identified specific enzymatic reactions or metabolic pathways‚ each was used in a way to help recognize those specifics and identify the unknown cultures. The differential

Antibiotic Lab Report By: Sierra Toll Hour: 6 Title: The effects of antibiotics on the growth of Escherichia Coli Problem: How do antibiotics affect the growth of E coli? Hypothesis: If Penicillin is applied to the bacteria‚ then the zone of inhibition will be larger. Background: The purpose of this lab was to see how effective a certain antibiotic is to kill E coli. The lab tested three antibiotics‚ Penicillin‚ Erythromycin‚ and Neomycin. The zone of inhibition‚ which is the amount of space

December 8‚ 2013 Soil Analysis Lab Report Intro: Soil is produced over hundreds of years through the weathering of rocks and the decomposition of organic material. Soil contains nutrients that are taken from decomposed animals and plants which turn to detritus. Nutrients such as nitrogen are added to the soil in these ways by organisms such as nitrogen fixing bacteria. Soil is important because it is the fuel to the plants that we need in order to survive and for all species to survive. Soil

Anxiety Lab Report Abstract: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between cognitive anxiety‚ somatic anxiety and self confidence in two different situations; non-stressful and stressful. It is to examine the effects on anxiety of a simple golf putting task. The stressor used in this experiment can be described as situational‚ namely the stressor of social comparison‚ the type of stressor that leads many performers to question their own ability which in turn evokes symptoms
