Conclusion In this experiment I tested different light intensities. I tested a normal fluorescent light bulb‚ a 100-watt light bulb‚ a 25-watt light bulb‚ and a 15-watt light bulb. I was surprised to find that the control plant grew the most at 135 mm. The 100 watt plant grew the least at 0 mm due to the fact that it fried the plant. The 25 watt plant grew the next highest at 120 mm. The 15-watt light bulb grew tall fastest‚ but then slowed down and stopped at 98 mm you would want to use this

Formal Lab Report 1 Chemistry 100-03 March 19‚ 2012 Abstract: • Introduction/Objective: Prepare and analyze aspirin from salicylic acid and acetic anhydride‚ and calculate the percent yield of the synthesized aspirin. • Materials and Methods: This experiment called for the synthesis of acetylsalicylic acid‚ or aspirin‚ by using salicylic acid‚ acetic anhydride‚ sulfuric acid‚ and vacuum filtration. The salicylic acid and the acetic anhydride were mixed in a flask. Sulfuric

Fan Cart Lab We did a fan cart for our physics class the other day. To set up the lab first‚ we measured the effect of the mass of the fan cart on the acceleration of the cart. The mass of the fan cart was the independent variable and acceleration was the dependent variable. We kept the speed of the cart on medium‚ and calculated the acceleration and motion. As a result‚ we had figured out that the bigger the mass the slower the acceleration‚ as we all should have known. To calculate this we used

Synthesis of Aspirin and Oil of Wintergreen INTRODUCTION: Synthesis and use of organic compounds is an extremely important area of modern chemistry. Approximately half of all chemists work with organic chemicals. In everyday life‚ many if not most of the chemicals you come in contact with are organic chemicals. Examples include drugs‚ synthetic fabrics‚ paints‚ plastics‚ etc. Synthesis of Aspirin and Methyl Salicylate. The two compounds we will be preparing‚ aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) and oil

Grignard Synthesis of Tirphenylmethanol David Szuminsky Organic Chemistry Lab II Shaopeng Zhang Monday 1PM 2/10/14 & 2/24/14 - Abstract A sample of triphenylmethanol was prepared using Grignard synthesis techniques. Reflux was used in order to speed up the reaction and the final product was purified using recrystallization methods. The percent recovery and percent yield were 80.46% and 47.526%‚ respectively. A melting point range of 85-87oC was obtained from

Abstract This experiment investigated the kinetics of the enzyme glycogen phosphorylase b which is important to metabolism. AMP is an allosteric activator of the enzyme because it converts glycogen phosphorylase b from its T state to the R state which is the active form. Caffeine is an inhibitor because it binds the nucleoside inhibitor site. When it binds this site‚ it stabilizes the inactive T state and blocks the catalytic site which needs to be open for enzyme activity to occur. The glycogen

Abstract Oxidation was found for primary alcohol. When 6 drops of potassium dichromate and 1 drop of concentrated sulfuric acid were added to 1-pentanol‚ the color of 1-pentaol turned into dark green. In second experiment‚ precipitation was found when 6 drops of 2‚4-dinitrophenylhydrazine were added to both 5 drops of benzaldehyde and 5 drops of acetophenone. Based on these data‚ it is possible to find alcohol by oxidation and aldehyde by observing precipitation Introduction This experiments

Reshmi Nair Title: Determination of Aspirin through back titration. Aim: To determine the concentration of Aspirin in a tablet using NaOH and Hcl. Research Question: What is the concentration of Aspirin in a normal tablet? Background: Aspirin is the general name for acetylsalicylic acid (ASA); it is also the trademark of the drug produced by Bayer in Germany. In eighty countries‚ aspirin is a registered trademark‚ but in other places the term aspirin refers to ASA by itself or as an ingredient

In our ecocolumn many changes occurred over the several week course we were observing and collecting data on the three chambers. Aquatic and Decomposition quickly turned septic while terrestrial experienced plant growth. Overall the health of the ecosystem was very poor due to the severe changes in the aquatic chamber. Terrestrial In the Terrestrial camber of our ecocolumn‚ several changes happened over time. The clover seeds planted at the beginning had a rapid growth rate. At one point our chamber

Preparation and melting point of Aspirin Aspirin is a painkilling drug and is produced worldwide to reduce and stop pain. Aspirin is made up of ehtanoylation of 2-hydroxbenzenecarboxylic acid in a presence of phosphoric acid. AIM: The aim of the experiment is to prepare and produce aspirin as pure as possible. I will do this threw preparing the aspirin and purifying the product threw recrystallization. I will then obtain a melting point of my product to get an estimate of its purity. By the end
