Determination of Sulfate by Gravimetry Jose Luis E. De Guzman University of Santo Tomas‚ Sampaloc‚ Manila The determination of the percentage of sulfate in a sample is done as an instrument of learning a quantitative method of analysis‚ i.e.‚ of the gravimetric analysis. This type of analysis‚ which makes use of the weight of the samples was used for the experiment and required the precipitation of our analyte‚ SO4-2‚ and its filtration as a BaSO4 precipitate so as for weighing it. The weight

Findings Analysis to determine the sex of our case study AFA was done using a physical exam karyotyping and PCR-based sex testing. The results from our physical exams on AFA showed well-developed female external genitalia‚ presence of breasts‚ no menstrual cycle‚ and no facial or chest hair. This led to a conclusion that AFA is a sterile female. The results from the Karyotype Analysis showed presence of 22 pairs of autosomes chromosomes and two X’s revealing that she is female. Lastly the PCR-based

Experiment #1: Determination of the Solid-Liquid Phase Diagram for Napthalene-Biphenyl Using Thermal Analysis Objective To apply thermal analysis to the two-component system‚ naphthalene-biphenyl at atmospheric temperature. The analysis will be represented by a solid-liquid phase diagram (freezing point diagram). Theoretical Principles Phase Equilibria and the Gibbs Phase Rule This experiment is conducted in order to study a condensed system (solid-liquid) at constant temperature (atmospheric

Chapter 4: Nucleic Acids and the RNA World 1. 4.1 – What is a Nucleic Acid? * Nucleic acids are made up of monomers called nucleotides * Three components of a nucleotide: 1. Phosphate group—attached to the 5’ carbon 2. Sugar – carbonyl group and several hydroxyl groups 3. Nitrogenous base * The prime (‘) symbols indicate the carbon being is part of the sugar—not attached to the nitrogenous base. * Four different nucleotides‚ each of which contains a different nitrogenous

Experiment # 4a Title: Determination of the Hardness of Water from a Waterfall Aim: To determine the molarity of EDTA and to determine the hardness of water by measuring the concentrations of calcium and magnesium in a water sample by titration. Abstract: The aim of this experiment was to determine the molarity of a sample of EDTA and then to use this sample to determine the hardness of a sample of water. This was done using a titrimetric method. This was standardized using calcium chloride. The

Acid Rain Acid rain occurs when Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) is released into the atmosphere by electricity generation‚ motor vehicles‚ factories and by wildfires and volcanoes. Once released‚ the sulphur dioxide reacts with water to produce sulphuric acid. This has a pH of approximately 2-3 pH. This has a dramatic effect on water dwelling wildlife. Most water dwelling creatures can’t withstand water more acidic than pH 5. This causes the mass loss of life of animals such as trout‚ perch‚ frogs and mayflies

one of two very similar pentose rings. Ribonucleic acids contain the sugar ribose. Deoxyribonucleic acids contain the sugar deoxyribose. The only difference between these two sugars is that deoxyribose contains one oxygen atom less than ribose. Pentose sugars are essential because they are involved in linking different nucleotides together by condensation reactions. The Nitrogen-Containing Bases There are two types of bases found in nucleic acids. The purine bases have two nitrogen containing rings

Purpose: Determine the empirical formula of magnesium oxide from the percent composition (this can found using the Analytical Method and the Synthesis Method). 2. Introduction: In the late eighteenth century‚ combustion has been studied extensively. In fact‚ according to Steven and Susan Zumdahl‚ Antoine Lavoisier‚ a French Chemist‚ performed thousands of combustion experiments

Abstract The objective of this experiment was to observe multi-step purification of benzoic acid after performing the extraction from a mixture containing benzoic acid‚ cellulose‚ and methyl orange. Recrystallization was done to remove impurities from the sample. The amount of BA recovered during recrystallization is much less than the extracted amount of BA. The difference between the pure and impure samples was observed by comparison of melting points. It was found that impure samples will have
