Gold Penny Lab Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to convert a regular penny into a “gold” penny. Background: Chemistry is a branch of physical science that studies the composition‚ properties and behavior of matter (www.acs.org). Sodium hydroxide is considered to be a strong base because it breaks up in water. When mixed with certain metals it produces potentially explosive hydrogen gas. Many alchemists believed that doing certain chemical reactions that they would be able

1.0 Title Determination of Protein Content Using Kjedahl and Titration 2.0 Introduction Proteins are polymers. They are the source of dietary amino acids and are used for growth and maintenance of living systems. They are costlier sources of energy compared to carbohydrates and fats and hence the human body utilizes proteins mainly for biosynthesis rather than as an energy source‚ though the energy yield is 5 kcal/g of protein. Twenty different types of amino acids occur naturally in proteins

Determination of Calcium ions in milk using titration. Background Calcium is a mineral which is essential to the human body. In fact 1.5% of the human body is made up of calcium‚ and not just the obvious uses such as bone and teeth formation but it is also a vital factor in many enzyme reactions‚ for example blood clotting. It also partakes in the regulation of the hearts rhythm. Lack of the crucial mineral can result in the build up of cadmium and lead‚ both of which are toxic. along

Determination is a positive emotion that involves persevering towards a difficult goal in spite of obstacles.[1][2] Determination occurs prior to goal attainment and serves to motivate behavior that will help achieve one’s goal. Empirical research suggests that people consider determination to be an emotion; in other words‚ determination is not just a cognitive state‚ but rather an affective state.[3] In the psychology literature‚ researchers have studied determination under other terms‚ including

immersing in boiling water at environmental temperature. Acid hydrolysis was carried out through reflux boiling for 20 minutes with 10ml 0f 1.5M concentrations of diluted sulphuric acid. Reducing sugars concentrations were determined by spectrophotometry using the 3‚ 5 dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) method. The first sample was operated as blank for zero. The stock solution was prepared in order to find the unknown concentration of carbohydrate cereals powder‚ jam (total sugar content) and jams (reducing sugar

Koko was a Gorilla that was trained sign language at an early age by her primary caregiver Penny. Penny performed an experiment‚ testing to see if primates like gorillas can communicate in sign language with humans. The reason Koko was so special because she is the longest animal study in history. It infatuated the public when Koko was first in the public eye on the cover of National geographic holding kittens. Koko changed how people viewed animals‚ and got people to their emotions. Before this

Experiment 19 - Determination of the equilibrium constant for the reaction Fe3+ (aq) + SCN( (aq) = FeSCN2+ (aq) Object: To determine the equilibrium constant by a colorimetric method Theory: Colorimetric methods of analysis are usually applied to the determination of small concentrations of either inorganic or organic materials in a solution. The constituent sought must be coloured or must be capable of reacting with a reagent to produce a substance having a suitable colour. Beers Law‚ which

Penny Press Until the early 1800’s‚ newspapers in England and America were expensive and therefore exclusive to the wealthy and literate minority. On average‚ newspapers would cost around six cents per issue and were usually sold through subscription only. Readers would have to pay for a years’ worth of newspapers when first signing up for a subscription‚ and that cost could be a middle-class worker’s week’s wage. Most people could not afford newspapers and therefore could not receive daily news

SELECTED REDOX REACTIONS RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Oxidation-Reduction reaction also known as redox reaction is a process in which there’s a net movement of electrons between reacting species. These types of reactions involve two separate elementary reactions: one that loses electrons and another that gains the electrons that was lost. Gaining of electrons is referred to as Reduction reaction (the species that undergoes reduction is called as oxidizing agent) while losing of electrons is called
