In this lab‚ we were given three experiments. We had to go through steps and make observations for each‚ but in the end we had to decide whether the experiment had a chemical or physical change. A physical change can alter the state of matter‚ but not the substances identity. A chemical change transforms a substance from one identity to another. It is important to identify the difference between physical and chemical changes in any lab because you want to know the process of what is going on. The

Biology Lab #1: Chemical Diffusion Purpose To discover how the size of a cell affects the diffusion of chemicals throughout the cell. Hypothesis I predict that as the cell size increases the diffusion depth and the diffusion rate will decrease. Equipment • Eye protection • 250 mL beaker • Timing device • Scoopula • Ruler • Scalpel • Sodium hydroxide solution • 3 different sized cubes of phenolphthalein agar • Paper towels Purpose

PRE-LAB The purpose of the lab is to determine the moles of hydrogen gas and then molar mass of the metal. First‚ the metal assigned to each group must be weighed out in order to ensure the hydrogen gas produced will not exceed the capacity for the gas measuring tube. Then‚ copper will be wrapped around the metal leaving 6-8cm at the end for a handle. The end wire will be bent into a hook to keep the sample at the bottom of the tube and increase the oxidation rate. A ring stand will need to be

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

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

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

Chemical and Physical Changes in Matter Purpose: The purpose is to observe chemical and physical changes and to identify each. Procedure: Do experiments 1-8 as directed by the handout. Data and Results: Experiment | Observations | Type of Change | Supporting Evidence | 1 | -After a few seconds‚ yellow smoke was produced-Wood splinters are becoming black-Bottom part of test tube has black color on the sides-Some woods splinters have been burned to ash-Middle of test tube has yellow

FOR THE RECORD: The following statement is provided by Angel Rodriguez‚ 9th grade student. On 09 January at approximately 0900‚ Angel Rodriguez reported that while in Ms. Kimberly Nelson Biology class he and another student‚ Alicia Gieseck became curious about two specimens that were in glass containers in the back of the classroom. Mr. Rodriguez stated that he picked up the smaller of the two jars by the lid to closer examine the specimen. He observed that the top of the jar appeared to be glue

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
