A flame test is conducted when an element is burned and the flame produces a color different the starting flame color. When the coffee stirrer was put into the flame‚ the element’s atoms (from the solution of the stirrer) left the original level of energy. When the atoms fell back to ground level‚ they released photons in the form of colored flame. Using the flame test‚ unknown compounds can be identified when they are burned since each element has a specific color. (Douma‚ 2008). The color

Verifying Differences Between Athletes’ Heart Rates And Non-Athletes’ Heart Rates By Using Step Test Introduction: Different people have different heart rates because of many reasons such as health condition‚ smoking‚ working out‚ among others. This step test is used to compare and figure out the differences between athletes’ heart rates and non-athletes’ heart rates before and after the test. Kuno Hottenrott stated that the normal average heart rate of people ranges from 40 to 100 beats per

Lab Questions: Are flame tests valuable for detecting metal ions present in a mixture of metal ions? Flame test may not be valuable for detecting individual metal ions present in a mixture of metal ions. Although each metal ion emits a different color of light‚ which corresponds to a certain wavelength of

Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to use staining techniques and biochemical testing to identify an unknown bacteria using Bergey’s manual. Bergey’s manual of Systematic Bacteriology is a dichotomous key primarily used to identify a bacterial species. Biochemical tests are used to differentiate different species of bacteria. These tests are effective in determining the characteristics of the microbe being tested. Such characteristics include citrate utilization‚ gelatin hydrolysis‚ nitrate

Repeat step 4 for each of the remaining salts. 3. Repeat step 4 for each of the unknown metals and predict the identity of the unknown metals. Repeat any of the known metals to help with this prediction. **Wash hands thoroughly before leaving the lab. ** Some of the salts used are poisonous or irritating to the skin. Keep your hands away from your mouth until after you have washed them and have let the

Discussion: There were some patterns that were noticeable during this experiment. It was noticed that all of the sprays with the metal potassium in them had turned the flame a light pink for a few seconds. The sprays that held the copper in them all turned the flame a vivid green colour‚ with some including green sparks also. Both of the sodium bottles turned the flame orange for a short time. Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom in energy levels. If atoms are heated up to the point where the

The presence of carbohydrates in a solution can be determined by a qualitative test of Molisch test. Molisch test is a general‚ sensitive chemical test and positive for all kinds of carbohydrates which in free form or in combined form. The test is based on the dehydration of the carbohydrate by concentrated sulfuric acid to produce an aldehyde which condenses with two molecules of phenol‚ resulting in a coloured compound. Molisch reagent is a solution of α-napthol in 95% ethanol. The aldehydes produced

Laboratory Report 4: Invertebrate Animals Section: I Table: 6 Date: September 26th‚ 2013 Introduction: In our group‚ our task was to observe the selected four invertebrates and familiarize ourselves with their taxonomic levels through the organism’s mechanisms of feeding‚ motility‚ and reproduction. Our group used the prior knowledge we possessed about the Hydra‚ Rotifer‚ Gammarus‚ and Planaria organisms to complete the lab. We knew that all of these small invertebrates have a
