As stated previously the purpose of this experiment was primarily based on about chemical changes. Many chemical changes are viewed through a screen‚ or read from a book. In this experiment‚ chemical changes are viewed directly from the eyes of the scientist. The procedure first begins by gathering all needed materials. Next‚ laying the first powder on four wells‚ followed by the next powders‚ each powder was placed on four wells. The liquids were then placed on each powder using the four droppers

Through a series of labs‚ we were able to extract and isolate our mitochondrial DNA‚ nuclear DNA‚ and cellular DNA to then amplify a part of an intron in the tissue plasminogen activator gene (TPA) through Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and run on an agarose gel to detect the presence or absence of a transposable element known as an Alu element. The main purpose of this experiment was to use our class as a population‚ to test whether or not we were in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium. The Hardy Weinberg

Chemical reactions are a part of everyday lives. Whether it is the burning of propane at a kitchen stove‚ or washing detergent reacting with dirt stains‚ chemical reactions are useful tools that have widespread applications. With so many reactions assisting our everyday activities‚ it is important that ways to optimise reaction rates are investigated. “Reaction rate‚ the speed at which a chemical reaction proceeds… may be defined in terms of the amounts of the reactants consumed or products formed

Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium One of the most difficult concepts to understand about the process of evolution is how changes in the genetic composition of a population affect the phenotypic composition of a population‚ and how both ultimately act to allow evolution of the species. Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution emphasizes that populations‚ not individuals‚ evolve. The purpose of my experiment was to test the allele and genotype frequencies. Alleles for a gene are represented by letters of

What Factors Affect Chemical Equilibrium? Introduction: In investigation 14‚ “What Factors Affect Chemical Equilibrium?”‚ the purpose was to find out which reagents caused a change in the chemical equilibrium. A deep red color was formed when Iron Nitrate [Fe(NO3)3 (aq)] was mixed with water and Ammonium Thiocyanate [NH4NCS (aq)]. The product of these two reactants was Iron Thiocyanate(FeNCS). After different trials of mixing the given reagents

Introduction‚ aim and hypothesis Chemical reactions are accompanied by the release or absorption of energy. Reactions which release energy are described as exothermic and those which absorb energy are endothermic. The energy released in chemical reactions was previously stored as chemical potential energy in the reactants; this stored energy is called enthalpy. The aim of this practical is to observe and classify chemical processes as endothermic or exothermic‚ based on the changes in temperature

Chemical Equilibrium ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A. Iron-Silver Equilibrium In studying equilibrium between iron and silver‚ 0.10 M FeSO4 and 0.10 M AgNO3 were used. The balanced equation for the reaction is: FeSO4 (aq) + 2 AgNO3 (aq) ↔ Fe(NO3)2 (aq) + Ag2SO4 (s) It has a net equation of: Fe2+(aq) + Ag+(aq) ↔ Fe3+(aq) + Ag(s) This part of the experiment

Introduction: A chemical reaction involves the breaking and forming of bonds in order to create the necessary energy required to cause movement. Each reaction is catalyzed (an increase in rate because of a present catalyst) by a specific enzyme. Enzymes are able to denature proteins‚ meaning that a protein loses its original shape by uncoiling‚ giving it a random‚ unstructured shape. The pineapple plant contains bromelain which‚ because of its unique characteristics‚ keeps gelatin from thickening
