Lab Report An enzyme is a protein that speeds up the rates of chemical reactions. They recognize‚ bind‚ and change specific reactants. They do not change so they can catalyze the same reaction again and again. Activation energy is the amount of energy needed in order to begin a chemical reaction. A Catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change. Catalysts are substances or a substance that configures another substance

Introduction: During this unknown lab report various test were performed to differentiate microbes from each other and to compare metabolic and biochemical process. The gram stain distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria based on the composition of the cell wall. The Gram stain procedure distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative groups by coloring these cells red or violet. Gram positive bacteria stain violet due to the presence of a thick layer of peptidoglycan

Experiment 4: Qualitative Analysis of Cations and Precipitation Reactions The overall goal of experiment four was to determine the identity of unknown cations presented to the student. But in order to know the identity of these unknowns‚ in part 1‚ Ag+‚ Pb+‚ and Hg22+ were presented to the student in aqueous solutions and then precipitated through experimentation. In part 2‚ the same procedure was enacted to determine which substances precipitated through qualitative analysis. Solubility rules were

Willy Rupprecht Date(s) performed: October 2 - 3‚ 2012 Gravimetric Analysis of an Unknown Group 1 Metal Carbonate Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to determine the identity of a Group 1 metal carbonate compound by gravimetric analysis. Procedure: The unknown carbonate is weighed and then dissolved in water. A solution of CaCl2 (calcium chloride) is added to the metal carbonate solution to precipitate the carbonate ions as CaCO3 (calcium carbonate). The precipitate is then filtered‚ dried

Iron‚ which has the chemical symbol Fe‚ is an extremely useful metal and the most common element 0n the planet Earth. Here are some of the more common uses of iron in the world today. Uses of Iron * Iron catalysts are used in the Haber-Bosch Process to produce ammonia and the Fischer-Tropsch Process to convert carbon monoxide to hydrocarbons used for fuels and lubricants. * Iron metal is strong but is also quite cheap. Therefore‚ it is the most common metal in use today. Most automobiles

After being provided with a set of experimental data‚ a graph is then created. The graph contains useful information such as the slope‚ which could give the density value. The calculation of significant figures was one of the key objectives in this lab as well. Significant figures are essential to interpreting data because they allow for increased precision and accuracy. Also‚ using Excel‚ the density calculations could be performed quickly and accurately. In this experiment‚ the density of water

Joe Schmoe Period 3 March 8‚ 2013 Lab Report: Empirical Formula of Zinc Chloride (ZnCl) * Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to learn how to determine the empirical formula. Empirical means “based on experimental evidence.” * Experimental Design The reaction that occurred was the reaction of the elements Zinc (Zn) and Chloride (Cl) by mixing a piece(s) of Zinc and 50mL of Hydrochloric Acid (HCl). The amount of Zinc was determined to be between 1.00g and 1.25g. As the reaction
