said to be in "thermal equilibrium". Apparatus -1 glass thermometer * calorimeter * stop watch * and hot water Procedure- 1) we took hot water from the lab We put it into a calorimeter and put a glass thermometer into it. 2) We measured the intial temperature to be 81 degree celcius. 3) Then we recorded the temperature every 2 mins. 4) And continued doing so for 30 mins.

Objective: The objective of the lab is to separate the caffeine samples we are using‚ using thin layer chromatography. The solvent we are using for the separation is 3:1 mixture of Chloroform and Acetone. Principle: Thin layer chromatography (TLC) is an important technique that is useful for separating organic compounds. TLC is often used to monitor the progress of organic reactions and to check the purity of products. Separations in Thin layer chromatography involve distributing a mixture of

RER of 0.7 means that carbohydrates are being used for fuel‚ and a ratio of 1.0 means that only fatty acids are being used for fuel; of course‚ values can fall between. Methods: To observe the effects of prolonged exercise on the metabolic system the lab subject needed to walk on the treadmill at a rate that kept his heart rate at 60% of his maximum. The

William Perez Cell Biology 2440 Lab on protein Myosin Proteins are chains of amino acids that perform the most important functions in living organism. Every protein will contain an amino group‚ carboxyl group‚ a different R group and an alpha carbon with two hydrogens. There are nine types of functions proteins can have‚ enzymes‚ motor‚ receptor‚ structural‚ storage‚ transport‚ signaling‚ and special purpose proteins(antibodies). There are four levels of protein structure‚ primary‚ secondary

How many will it hold Benchmarks Covered (Learning Objective) SC.8.N.1.1 Define a problem to plan and carry out scientific investigations. SC.8.P.8.2 Differentiate between weight and mass‚ recognizing that weight is the amount of gravitational pull on an object and is distinct from‚ though proportional to‚ mass. Research Question/Problem - Which type of pasta noodle would hold the most pennies if we were to tape them to two stools 16 cm apart‚ dropping pennies into a cup tied around the noodle?

Hanging at a Constant Determining the effect mass has on acceleration Block 5 11/25/12 Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to determine the effect of additional mass added to a cart’s existing mass‚ without changing the applied force‚ on the acceleration of the cart. We will test this effect by hanging a constant mass to a cart and use a computer program‚ LoggerPro‚ to calculate the acceleration which is expressed through the

Introduction The purpose of this lab is to understand how each offspring inherits its genotype and how its phenotype reflects it. Sex chromosomes determine the sex of the offspring‚ and the autosomes consist of all the other chromosomes that determine phenotypic traits. Dominant traits are the genes that are expressed‚ while the recessive traits are masked by the dominant traits. We used Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly)‚ mutating the female fruit fly with a scalloped gene to change the phenotype

Comparing between the simple and fractional distillation‚ the fractional distillations for both n-propanol and acetone provided a better distillation. The data and graphs support the statement since the fractional graphs provided a steeper slope than the simple distillation. The steeper slope represent how fast the mixture are separated throughout the distillations. For example‚ the simple distillation for acetone the slope initially started at about 20 mL at about 65.5℃ and ended at about 30 mL

Photosynthesis and the Amount of Light _______________________________________________________________________ I. Introduction Photosynthesis the process where plants use sunlight (energy) to synthesize foods forming the products carbohydrates and water (H20 + CO2 + Light CH2O + O2). For photosynthesis to take place they need water‚ carbon dioxide and light and chloroplasts. Light is absorbed inside he thylakoid
