High Performance Liquid Chromatography Analysis of Aspirin Problem: Was aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) successfully synthesized? Are there impurities or by-products present in the synthesized aspirin? How pure is the synthesized aspirin? Introduction: In the last experiment‚ aspirin was synthesized followed by characterization of the product using several different techniques. Melting point was a test that provided information about the identity and purity of the aspirin product. The iron(III)chloride

Introduction In this lab‚ we experimented the effects of pH on the function of the enzyme catalase. Catalase is an enzyme that brings about the reaction by which hydrogen peroxide is decomposed to water and oxygen (Encyclopedia Britannica). The chemical reaction is shown as 2H2O2 = 2H2O + O2 (Keilin and Hartree 397). The reaction involves primarily the adsorption of hydrogen peroxide at the catalase surface. The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by catalase is regarded as involving

on the pH of the Vinegar Introduction: For this experiment‚ the town council wanted to test which building material would be the best to build statues in a zoo. The building material with the lowest pH would be the best building material because while 7 is neutral anything below 7 is considered acidic and anything higher than 7 results in a base. Precipitation of 5.5 or lower is considered acid rain. Connecticut and most of the United States have to deal with acid rain. Acid rain occurs when

In Exercise 2‚ we calibrated the Power Lab program to the blood pressure cuff. In Exercise 3‚ we estimated the systolic pressure in the upper arm using Korotkoff sounds and by finding the pressure corresponding to when blood flow began in the brachial artery. In Exercises 4 and 5‚ we estimated

TITLE: Toxicity Testing and Determining the LC50 INTRODUCTION: Our main objective for this experiment was to determine which three chemicals were going to be the most toxic to the brine shrimp by adding drops of vinegar‚ bleach and ammonia to the controlled water. We found that the vinegar was the most effective and the quickest. The ending results were very interesting when being compared to our hypothesis and we learned that some chemicals can react faster than others and each contains a different

two types of fuel‚ carbohydrates‚ and fatty acids. At the beginning of exercise the main source of fuel is carbohydrates‚ however the duration of the exercise progresses the carbohydrates deplete and fatty acids are needed to maintain the exercise. The type of fuel being used can be seen in the ratio called‚ respiratory exchange rate‚ or RER. An 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

Mr. Mihordea Motion of Atoms and Molecules lab summary In this lab the standard heat of combustion of magnesium was calculated by using the calorimeter. Also‚ the point of combustion of magnesium was to see how much heat would be released from fireworks such as sparklers. The concept of this lab was to find the difference in temperature from the beginning to end of combustion of magnesium and calculate the standard heat
