The purpose of the lab is to identify the compound based on a constant composition by performing a serious of tests. The hydrate is solid crystals compound and appears to be dry: since an ionic compound (salt) is crystallized from an aqueous solution (water)‚ by heating the hydrate the water is released from ionic structure; therefore it is possible to measure the weight of the ionic compound and calculate its ratio to the liquid in the hydrate. The goal of the lab is to establish the identity

Introduction: There are times when it is necessary to go through something both inside and outside‚ literally‚ to learn. This was exactly the case with virtual lab #11 where the experiment called for an examination of an earthworm’s exterior anatomy and interior anatomy. The earthworm as a whole is considered the dependent variable as we cannot change it. However‚ the labels to be placed can be moved so they are the independent variables. My hypothesis is quite elementary. I believe that after studying

Morgan Kimmerle Monday Lab Dr. McCorkell Abstract The purpose of this study was to cross and analyze the reciprocal crosses of wild flies and mutant flies. In this lab Drosophila melanogaster commonly known as fruit flies were used to understand some important genetic principles that were once proposed by Gregor Mendel. Mutant traits can be autosomal dominant‚ autosomal recessive traits‚ or even sex-linked dominant and sex-linked recessive. F1 and F2 generations were obtained by performing

The lab required pressing two toothpicks against the skin simultaneously. It was difficult to press down both toothpicks at the same time and this skewed the results. When the toothpicks weren’t pressed down at the same time‚ it felt like one point‚ then another

Introduction In the amylase lab‚ it was being tested if amylase‚ an enzyme found in saliva‚ would be denatured by being put in an acid or high temperatures. This lab is about denaturing amylase. It is tested by exposing it to pH and temperature changes. It is then mixed with Benedict’s solution‚ is a solution that changes color from blue to reddish brown when maltose is present. Amylase breaks starch into maltose‚ so is the amylase isn’t denatured‚ it should change colors. Amylase is an enzyme

Abstract In this lab we separated components of a simulated preparation‚ panacetin and making use of its acid base properties. To obtain such a pure compound‚ the compound we want must be separated from its other natural components‚ which can be done by manipulating physical and chemical properties. Panacetin contains sucrose‚ aspirin and an unknown which can be acetanilide or phenacetin in which phenacetin was created and weighed. Introduction In this lab our basic goal was to make the

Laboratory #16: Analysis of Grease in Water by Solvent Extraction Experiment Date: 2/19/10 Due Date: 2/26/10 II. Objective The goal of this lab was to determine the amount of impurity‚ in the form of oil‚ in water using the method of solvent extraction‚ also known as liquid-liquid extraction‚ a method of separating two materials with different physical and/or chemical properties. Two methods of evaporation will be used to finally determine the concentration of impurity- one using an explosion-proof

Data Analysis: 1. What was the temperature change for the water in the calorimeter (ΔTwater)? 3°C 2. What was the temperature change for the metal sample (ΔTmetal)? Assume the intial temperature of the metal was the same as the temperature of the water it was boiled in. 70°C 3. What was the specific heat of water in J/g°C? 4.186 J/g°C 4. Using the following equation‚ your answers to questions 1-3‚ and your data table‚ determine the specific heat of the metal sample you tested. 5

Michele Baden Bio 100 – 05 ALLELOPATHY INTRODUCTION The purpose of this lab was to observe the effects of chemical warfare among plants. Plant seeds compete with other plants and seeds‚ for sunlight‚ and nutrients in order to germinate. In order to win dominance over other seeds‚ and reduce competition‚ plants produce and release a chemical in order to prevent other seeds from germination. This type of chemical warfare is referred to as allelopathy. Allelopathy exists in many parts of the plants
