SEPARATION OF A MIXTURE INTO ITS COMPONENTS BY FRACTIONAL CRYSTALLIZATION Introduction: Fractional crystallization is one of the experimental techniques used to separate or purify mixture. Fractional crystallization makes use of the differences of solubility to separate the components of a mixture. Goals: Applying fractional crystallization to separate a mixture of salicylic acid and copper sulfate pentahydrate into its components. Calculate the percent of salicylic acid and copper

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

Report Submitted: September 4‚ 2013 Title: Observations of Chemical Changes Purpose: To observe some properties of chemical reactions and to associate chemical properties with household products. Procedure: In this experiment I used a 96-well plate to hold each of the chemical reactions that occurred during this lab. Using a pipet‚ I added two drops of one chemical with two drops of another chemical and observed the effects of each reaction. Data Table 1: Experimental Data Well # |

for gas exchange. At the same time‚ oxygenated blood that has come from the lungs to the left side of the heart is pumped to the body’s cells (the systemic circuit) for gas exchange. The deoxygenated blood is returned to the right side of the heart. Strenuous exercise causes a dramatic increase in blood flow to skeletal muscles that depend on the red blood cells to bring them the oxygen necessary for cellular respiration ‚ which is the quantity of blood pumped from one’s heart and clinically measured

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.

of flat cells and supported by a mesh of fine elastic fibers. The alveoli are surrounded by a rich network of pulmonary capillaries (Couch and Berger‚ 2004). Our lungs are a network of connected tubes that bring oxygen from the air into our blood‚ nourishing the trillions of cells that make up our bodies. The lungs also clean the blood of carbon dioxide waste created when cells use oxygen (Natural Geographic‚ 2012). In experiment one I hypothesize that the effect of respiration changes on carbon

Experiment 4: Qualitative Analysis of Cations and Precipitation Reactions The overall goal of experiment four was to determine the identity of unknown cations presented to the student. But in order to know the identity of these unknowns‚ in part 1‚ Ag+‚ Pb+‚ and Hg22+ were presented to the student in aqueous solutions and then precipitated through experimentation. In part 2‚ the same procedure was enacted to determine which substances precipitated through qualitative analysis. Solubility rules

The wild type and the mutant type strains of Halobacteria were used in this experiment to examine the phenotypic differences against each strain’s genotypes. The mutant strain (KBT-1) did not possess gas vesicles‚ which decreased its ability to float to the surface. The lack of gas vesicles in the mutant strain made the colonies a red color. The wild type strain (NRC-1) had gas vesicles and appeared a pink pigment color. Growth on the agar allowed one to examine the specific colonies. Inoculation
