Composition of Cells Testing for Proteins: The independent variable is the biuret reagent. The dependent variable is the solutions being used as follows; distilled water‚ albumin solution‚ and starch solution. If the protein is present‚ then the biuret will change to a violet color. Authors: Eliza Koundry and Jody Cote Eliza was in charge of adding equal amounts of biuret reagent to the distilled water‚ albumin solution‚ and the starch solution. Jody was in charge

In this experiment‚ the production of a Grignard reagent (phenylmagnesium bromide) was performed from a bromobenzene reactant combined with magnesium and ether. Phenylmagnesium bromide was then transformed into a tertiary alcohol called triphenylmethanol‚ through addition of another compound called benzophenone‚ as well as additional ether. The end product of triphenylmethanol was analyzed via NMR and IR. Figure 1: Preparation of the Grignard agent by combining bromobenzene with magnesium and ether

carbonate. The resulting products were solid calcium carbonate and aqueous sodium nitrate (equation 1). To calculate the theoretical yield‚ the moles of sodium carbonate and calcium nitrate were calculated to find the limiting reagent. Then the moles of the limiting reagent (calcium nitrate) were used in ratio with the precipitate ( 1:1)‚ calcium carbonate‚ to find how many moles of the solid were produced‚ then to conclude the mass of the precipitate (equation 2). The percent yield was calculated

confirmed the identity of benzylic acid with two OH peaks and the carbonyl peak. Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize benzilic acid from benzoin. Part A was omitted from the experiment and benzoin became the starting reagent. For this experiment a multistep synthesis was required. In the first part (Part B) benzoin was oxidized using nitric acid to make benzyl as a product. This reaction is characterized by the orange gas of nitrogen oxide that is liberated as a byproduct

enthalpy‚ heat of reaction‚ and the heat of the calorimeter is: Ccal=qcal∆T qrxn=nLR x ∆H The students are the ones responsible in preparing their own solution. Inside the test tube the students put the reagents used for calibration to determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter. These reagents are: sodium hydroxide and HCl. Then the students measure the temperature with 15 seconds intervals. The students made two trials and determine the change in temperature which is needed for the calculations

equilibrium constant‚ Keq‚ of the Fe3+(aq)+SCN-(aq)↔ FeSCN2+(aq) reaction. By determining the amount of light absorbed‚ the concentration of the colored FeSCN2+ solution was also quantitatively determined. From that data‚ the concentrations of the reagents at equilibrium may also be determined. This experiment should thus provide a Keq value without computing for the concentration of each of the species in the reaction. This experiment will only deal with the aspect of chemical equilibrium‚ particularly
