Surface Tension Steven Brignol Dr. Payne September 15 Introduction: Water’s ability to stick to itself is surface tension. In this lab we were able to measure and detect surface tension by dropping water‚ drop by drop‚ onto a penny. The quantity of droplets that fit on the penny was impressive. Hypothesis: The detergent will thicken the water making a tighter surface tension. Prediction: If soap increased the surface tension‚ then expansion will happen. Materials: (1) Pipette (2) Water

Derricka Joe Period 5 1 Oct.‚ 2014 Lab Experiment One: Physical Properties Lab Analysis: For our first unknown‚ we observed the color and odor of the substance. The substance was a clumpy‚ white‚ crystal-like substance and it smells like new plastic. When we tested the solubility in water it resulted insoluble and in ethanol it resulted soluble. This substance could not be tested for electrical conductivity because the water was insoluble. We then tested for the PH value and it was neutral. The

The Distillation of an Unknown Compound INTRODUCTION Distillation is the process heating a liquid to form vapor which is then collected when cooled and separated from the original liquid. The purpose of this experiment was to determine the identity of an unknown substance using simple and fractional distillation. Gas chromatography analysis the components of a mixture by separation of the materials by their different boiling points. EXPERIMENTAL The simple distillation apparatus was assembled

Experiment 1 Cyanobacteria Oxygen Production Through Photosynthesis Date Performed: September 2‚ 2014 I. Introduction a. Background Cyanobacteria or blue green algae are renowned for their tolerability and susceptibility even in wide range of environmental conditions‚ a characteristic of many primitive organisms. CNB are believed to be the agents of autotrophic origin of life thus they probably represent the survivors of the earliest photosynthetic plants‚ along with photosynthetic and chemosynthetic

Experiment 1: The Effects of Coal Mining Coal mining‚ particularly surface mining‚ leads to large areas of land being temporarily disturbed. The mine workings collect and conduct water that is in contact with the widespread pyrite‚ a mineral that produces iron and sulfuric acid when exposed to air and water. In this lab‚ you will see first-hand the reasons why mine drainage can be harmful to the local drainage system if left untreated. Materials: (3) 100 mL Beakers 1 tsp. Crushed pyrite 1 tsp. Activated

Experiment E: Post lab Natasha Buckiewicz (130361780) IA: Matt Halloran Due: November 26‚ 2014 1. This experiment followed GCP number 8 which is reduce derivatives. This experiment did not use unnecessary derivation since the reaction was not modified in any way. No additional reagents were required so it did not generate a lot of waste. 2. Safer solvents and auxilaries (GCP #5) was not used in this experiment since the experiment used a solvent to complete the reaction. The reaction used both

Lab 5.3 SPRINGS- HOOKES LAW Group member: Submitted by: Submitted to: Class: Due: Lab 5.3 SPRINGS- HOOKES LAW Purpose: To study the characteristics of a spring. Hypothesis: With an increase in weight there will be a directly relatable increase in spring length. Additionally each spring will increase to different expected lengths. Materials: -Light spring -Dense spring -Brass spring -Masses -Ruler

It would be nearly impossible to have the transportation of vesicles without kinesin to guide it. And without the transportation of these synaptic vesicles to release their neurotransmitters‚ there would be no movement in the cell at all. This experiment is so important because vesicle transport in neurons helps to identify many neurological disorders. One such example is a research on Drosophila. Since there is only one kinesin light gene in the subject‚ the mutants in that one chain gene exhibit

Extended Experimental Investigation | May 28 2013 | Drosophila melanogaster lab experiment Question: How do the dominant or recessive genes in particular traits in a cross between a male and female Drosophila determine the traits of its offspring? Aim: to establish whether characteristics produced from the offspring of a drosophila cross are recessive or dominant traits. Hypothesis: If certain phenotypes are expressed in the offspring from the cross of certain Drosophila‚ then the determination
