LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench)‚ created by National Instruments is a graphical programming language that uses icons instead of lines of text to create applications. A LabVIEW program consists of one or more virtual instruments (VIs)‚ Virtual instruments are called such because their appearance and operation often imitate actual physical instruments. The objective of developing a virtual interface that acquires data from physical instrument (pH probe) used in the monitoring

varies this is to be done by using buffer in every test tube so as to maintain pH balance for each beetroot sample and insure that pH does not become a variable. PH is important for maintaining the integrity of the cell membrane as integral proteins can denature upon change in pH. Also‚ presumably the buffer will have the right concentrations of salt or electrolyte’s (ion such as Na‚ K‚ Ca‚ etc.)- that is‚ the solution and the beetroot cells must be isotonic‚ so the buffer must be used for each trial-to

Learning how to Prepare Buffers of Various pH levels and Preparation of Acetate Buffer. Introduction A buffer is a solution having the capacity to resist changes in pH levels. Mostly a buffer consists of a weak acid and a salt of strong base or a weak base and a conjugate salt of strong acid e.g. acetate buffer is the most common buffer in which equimolar mixture of acetic acid and sodium acetate solution is used. CH3COOH CH3 COO - + H+ CH3COONa CH3COO - + Na+ Buffers are divided into 2 parts

Research Question How will the addition of different pH buffers to amylase affect the rate of starch digestion measured using starch and iodine? Introduction Amylase is an enzyme found in human saliva and pancreas. It is the digestive enzyme that is needed to breakdown starch molecules. Amylase must be kept at certain conditions to function at its optimum level. This experiment will explore the effect of pH (1‚ 4‚ 7‚ 10‚ and 14) on the function of amylase by using starch and iodine. Usually

During the preparation of the 0.100M Tris buffer‚ the calculated amount of ingredients brought the solution to a pH of 7.0‚ but the desired pH was 7.50. Discrepancies between the theoretically calculated amounts and the actual measured amounts of ingredients are likely to be the biggest source of error. Dilution affected our 0.0100M Tris buffer by decreasing its pH. The buffer was originally set to a pH of 7.48‚ but the pH gradually moved down by a pH unit of about 0.1 after each dilution. This is

was added to the solution. By performing this experiment‚ it was found that with increasing amounts of buffer in the prepared solutions there was better resistance against pH changes. This was because the strong acid or base was converted to it’s weak conjugate. The solution with little or no buffer had no resistance to pH changes. The Irresistible

Properties of Gases General Chemistry 1 Lab 5 Abstract: The purpose of this experiment is to examine the properties of several gasses‚ which were the products of a reaction‚ and examine the way the gasses react under certain conditions. These conditions‚ such as introducing a flame to the gas as well as oxygen and CO2‚ caused other reactions to occur. Hypothesis: If the gasses are correctly synthesized then there will be a clear reaction with the introduction of the flame‚ O2‚ CO2‚ Air
