Introduction The purpose of this lab is to determine the percent mass of Cu in a penny and see if the fabricator that makes the planchets for the government is using the correct amounts of Cu in the pennies. The composition of a standard penny is 97.5% Zn and 2.5% Cu. In the lab we will be using Beer’s Law (A=elc+b where A is solution absorbance‚ e is a constant called molar absorbency‚ l is the length in cm‚ and c is the concentration). Using Beer’s Law in this lab a colorimeter is used to find the

(dialysis tubing). The experiment will show how molecules in solution move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration in the attempt to reach homeostasis in different circumstances. Introduction: The main purpose of this lab was to observe diffusion and osmosis. This is demonstrated using dialysis tubing and a combination of monosaccharaides‚ disaccharides‚ water (H20)‚ and sodium chlorine

and two benzyl ring functional groups. This is a dehydration reaction that occurs twice in order to form the diene. After obtaining the product‚ via vacuum filtration‚ it will be recrystallized and then analyzed for purity by determining both products’ melting point. The two products will be compared.

Constituent of “Panacetin” Recrystallization& Melting-Point Measurement Organic Chemistry Lab Introduction: Panacetin purportedly includes sucrose‚ aspirin‚ and acetaminophen. However‚ the accuracy of Panacetin’s contents has been called into question by the Association for Safe Pharmaceuticals. Therefore‚ the lab must discover the accuracy of the ingredients listed on Panacetin’s label. The unknown in this experiment is presumed to be something

points are properties that can easily be determined and help in identifying a substance. These properties can be found in chemical literature ad reference tables‚ and can be used to distinguish a pure substance from many other pure substances. In this lab you will use the pure substance Paradichlorobenzene and determine its melting an freezing points by warming and cooling a sample of the substance‚ then plotting heating and cooling curves and analyzing them. Data that you collect will represent the

Abstract The purpose of this lab was to test if ethanol affects the reaction involving hydrogen peroxide and catalase. Tests were performed by putting chicken liver‚ ethanol solution (diluted ethanol solution for other trials) and hydrogen peroxide in a test tube with a side arm‚ and having a rubber tube lead the oxygen gas into a gas collection tube. Results from the tests showed a negative correlation‚ this means that the more diluted the solution of 95% ethanol was‚ the less oxygen gas collected
