McLean 1 Creating Acetylene Gas Introduction The purpose of the lab was to determine the ratio of air to acetylene results in complete combustion of acetylene gas. The balanced chemical equation for this experiment was C2H2(g) + O2(g) --> CO2(g)+ H2O(l). Complete combustion is the reaction of an element or compound with oxygen to produce the most common oxides and energy. Complete combustion occurs when the fuel and oxygen combine in exact proportions to completely burn the fuel

Phelps‚ Biology 205 MW 2:10pm. Unknown Organism Paper The unknown organism tested in the Mesa lab was collected from in between the toes of my puppy‚ Riley. The original culture grown consisted of dozens of visibly different organisms of varying colony colors and growth patterns. I chose to test a smaller‚ red colony for my experiments. Based on its gram reaction and oxygen requirements‚ the following tests were performed to reach my presumptive ID: Test Performed Result Gram Stain +

One of the main learning experiences of this lab is to learn the importance of calibrating a sensor. In most cases‚ a sensor will not have an output that is exactly what you need. An example of this is a strain gage. A stain gage gives back a voltage‚ but with that given voltage a distance can be found. Introduction: In this experiment‚ the QNET-MECHKIT was used. This board has multiple compact sensors that can be used for experiments. For this lab we will be using the strain gage to find the

Investigating the effect of changing substrate concentration on the activity of the enzyme catalase The aim of this experiment is to examine how the concentration of a substrate (hydrogen peroxide) affects the rate of reaction of an enzyme catalyse (found in liver cells) Research Question: how does changing the concentration of the substrate affect the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalyse? Hypothesis: As the concentration of the substrate increases‚ so does the rate of reaction until the reaction

Nervous System lab was designed to measure reaction times by using a variety of tests that affect the heart rate. These tests were the startle‚ stroop‚ Valsalva maneuver‚ diving reflex‚ and a test of our choice. The test our group chose to measure the heart rate in response to doing a trust fall to anticipate the stress right before the fall. To begin this lab we chose a participant‚ and then hooked their finger up to the pulse transducer sensor. Using the chart 5 program on the lab computer the participant’s

This experiment was performed in order to analyze the effects of pH‚ enzyme concentration‚ and temperature on the catalytic rate on enzyme ALP. The initial experiment was done to approximate the optimum pH for the activity of the enzyme. The hypothesis was that alkaline phosphatase activity will be critically affected by pH effects. The hypothesis was valid because the data shows that the pH values for the acidic‚ basic‚ and neutral tubes increased over time‚ absorbing at similar rates. The basic

Lab 3 : Techniques in Microscopy Title : Preparation of light microscope observe cell organisms. Objective : To observe and investigate the cell structure under the light microscope. Introduction A microscope is an instrument used to magnify and resolve a specimen. It is important to know several important features of microscopy which involves magnification‚ resolution and contrast. Magnification is the enlargement of a specimen while resolution is the ability to distinguish detail or the
