Experiment No. 1: MELTING POINT AND BOILING POINTS OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS ABSTRACT The properties of organic compounds depend on their chemical structures. Intermolecular forces of attraction affect physical properties such as melting and boiling point. Through the Thomas Hoover apparatus‚ the melting point of 8 test compounds was determined. Salicylic acid exhibited the highest melting point while naphthalene‚ the lowest. The stronger the intermolecular forces of attraction‚ the higher the melting

Properties of life‚ Basic Chemical Terminology‚ Molecules and Compound of a cell Properties of life: All living things are made of cells and keep certain characteristics in common. All living things are divided into several characteristics: order‚ reproduction‚ growth and development‚ energy processing‚ respond to the environment‚ regulation and evolution. Cells are either made of prokaryotic or eukaryotic. Prokaryotic is simple‚ small and lacking membrane-enclosed membrane. Eukaryotic

Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to examine how the compound action potentials propagate down the sciatic nerve of a frog based on varying stimuli. Before the nerve could be tested it needed to be extracted from the thigh of the frog and then submerged in saline. Several varying stimuli were used and recorded by a software package. The second experiment requires a constant stimulus with varying reference pin locations. From this the velocity of the action potential propagated can be

The Effects of Secondary Plant Compounds on Lumbriculus Variegatus Heart Rate Introduction Blackworms (Lumbriculus variegatus) were used in this experiment to study the effects of secondary plant compounds‚ chemical compounds produced by plants that are not part of the general metabolism‚ on pulse rate. Secondary plant compounds act as defense mechanisms which reduce or eliminate consumption of some plant species or even attract predators. These compounds are not essential to the plant but often

Agricultural Invention: compound bow‚ riding saddle‚ and the cotton gin Agriculture has many things to do with inventions. Now you might think that inventions only consist of science and technology. Even though this is true‚ science and technology are involved in agriculture too‚ but the invention themselves is related to agriculture by its purpose or how it is used and by whom. For example‚ the compound bow. It is used for hunting and to bring in a “harvest” of game for food. That is agriculture

Case Report Clinical Assessment of a Patient With Compound Myopic Astigmatism and Convergence Insufficiency Abstract Myopic astigmatism is a specific type of astigmatism wherein the light focuses before it reaches the retina. This condition is classified as a combination of astigmatism and myopia‚ or nearsightedness. If both principal meridians are nearsighted‚ but one is more pronounced than the other‚ it is considered to be a compound myopic astigmatism. Convergence Insufficiency on the

Extraction Important Peaks Concluded Compound C-5 #1 -CH‚ C=O cyclopentanone C-5 #2 -OH‚ -CH 1-hexanol D-4 #1‚2 C=O‚ -CH Cannot conclude Preparative Gas Chromatography was used to separate volatile compounds‚ which can then be identified. The injected sample becomes vaporized and was carried through the mobile column. It is usually carried by an inert gas. The gases were moved through the stationary column. The polarity of the components to the column would cause the separation of the components

EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE: 1. 2.07 g of the mixture of naphthalene and benzoic acid was weighed accurately on a balance. The mixture was then dissolved in 40 ml dichloromethane and the solution was poured into a separatory funnel. 2. 20 ml of aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution was added to the dichloromethane. A stopper was placed on the separatory funnel and was shaken and pressure was frequently released. The 2 liquids separated into clear layers and the lower layer (dichloromethane layer) was

The Verification of the Molecular Formula and Percent Composition of the Compound Magnesium Oxide (MgO) Nice sounding title Date Performed Lab: 8/31/06 Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to confirm the chemical formula of magnesium oxide by comparing the masses of pure magnesium solid prior to any reaction and magnesium oxide solid after a reaction between all of the magnesium and oxygen from the air when heated from a Bunsen burner in a crucible. Using molar masses of both magnesium and
