Part I: Reaction between zinc and iodine Watch the Video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT9V7Y1iKYc Observations: Describe what happened when the water was added. A reaction happened and the iodine exploded into a purple gas Questions and conclusions: 1. Balance the equation‚ if necessary‚ for the reaction between zinc and iodine. Zn + I2 ZnI2 It is balanced 2. Classify the reaction that occurred between the zinc and iodine. redox 3. What evidence was there

It is almost always the first test performed for the identification of bacteria. The primary stain of the Gram’s method is either crystal violet or methylene blue‚ each almost equally effective. The microorganisms that retain the crystal violet and iodine mixture appear purplish brown under microscopic examination. These microorganisms that are stained by the Gram’s method are classified as Gram positive. Others that are not stained by crystal violet are referred to as Gram negative‚ and appear in

we were given the element Silver (Ag) which was first mixed with chloride (Cl). Together the two mixtures created a very white‚ milky type which is known by the name of Silver Chloride (AgCl). Iodine (I) was then mixed with silver to create a yellowish‚ whitish color which is normally called Silver Iodine (AgI). The mixture followed is Silver Oxide (Ag2O) which happens to contain hydroxide (OH) as well a silver. This compound ended up turning a very grey-brown like color as well as being gritty.

Carbohydrates There were many ranges of color changes in the Benedicts test and Iodine stain. For the Benedicts test‚ this oxidation/reduction response changes the arrangement of the reducing sugar creating a colored precipitate. The change in color is correlated to the first concentration of the reducing sugar. For the iodine test‚ the three dimensional structure of various polysaccharides permits them to react with the iodine stain to produce a certain color. As far as the molecular level‚ there is an

used as a test site for experiments involving nuclear reactors‚ high-powered lasers‚ and rockets. In the 1959 meltdown‚ "an estimated 13‚000 curies of iodine-131 and 2‚600 curies of cesium-137 escaped fro the reactor" (Rutshman). Iodine-131 is a radioactive form of iodine and is produced in nuclear reactors when uranium is split. This form of iodine is very radioactive and very dangerous. Once this chemical is entered into the body‚ the radiation damages the thyroid‚ increasing the risk of cancer

CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIUM Reversible reactions and dynamic equilibrium Ammonia (NH3) is an important industrial chemical that is used in the manufacture of fertilisers. It is manufactured by reacting hydrogen with nitrogen. The reaction is said to be reversible and the conversion of reactants to products is never complete. N2 + 3H2 2NH3 A reversible reaction is a reaction which can take place in either direction When the concentrations of the reactants and product have become constant‚ a

BIOLOGY LAB REPORT PRACTICAL M1 TESTING FOR MACROMOLECULES Title : Testing for Macromolecules Abstract : To test for macromolecules (carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ nucleic acids‚ and proteins)‚ iodine solution‚ alcohol‚ aceto-orcein stain and copper sulfate solution are used. The conclusions for all of the tests are positive. Introduction: A) Carbohydrate (starch) Carbohydrates are chemical compounds that contain oxygen‚ hydrogen‚ and carbon atoms. They consist of monosaccharide

Wearing safety goggles protects eyes from when using the scalpel to cut the onion. Be careful whilst moving around the classroom in case of an accident for example falling over bags and disturbing a group of individuals which results in iodine spilling over onto the floor or even skin.
