Determination of rate of photosynthesis INTRODUCTION Photosynthesis is the major process by which light from the sun is captured by plants‚ algae and some bacteria to produce energy. It is a process in which light energy is converted into chemical energy which is then stored in sugars. Photosynthesis occurs in two stages‚ light-dependant reactions and light-independent reactions. In light-dependent reactions the chlorophyll traps light energy which is then used to excite electrons and split water

Acid Determination of Vitamin C Tablets and Salt Solutions Chem 1290-016 03-05-2010 ------------------------------------------------- Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to use acid-base titrations to find the mass percent of ascorbic acid in a Vitamin C tablet. A known concentration of sodium hydroxide was used and the value found was compared to the stated amount of ascorbic acid listed on the vitamin container. Also in this lab the acidity of different salt solutions were tested using

Deionized Water vs. Distilled Water Deionized and distilled waters are both processed forms of water. Deionized water is produced by filtering water to the point where it is free of ions. This ion-free water will strip ions from surrounding material‚ acting like a super-solvent. This is often used in semiconductor and other high-tech processing as a "soft" solvent and relatively cheap cleaning fluid. Distilled water is most often produced by vaporizing less pure source water (tap‚ salt or even

EXPERIMENT 11: DETERMINATION OF DISSOLVED OXYGEN IN A WATER SAMPLE (WINKLER METHOD) INTRODUCTION In an alkaline solution‚ dissolved oxygen will oxidize manganese(II) to the trivalent state. 8OH-(aq) + 4Mn2+(aq) + 2H2O(l) －－＞ 4Mn(OH)3(s) The analysis is completed by titrating the iodine produced from potassium iodide by manganese(III) hydroxide. 2Mn(OH)3(s) + 2I-(aq) + 6 H+(aq) －－＞ 2Mn2+(aq) + I2(aq) + 6H2O(l) Sodium thiosulphate is used as the titrant. Success of the method is critically

Chemistry of Natural Waters Introduction What is water hardness? Water is extremely important to all living things and even to non-living things‚ indirectly. Therefore‚ the way water travels and gets to a place is also extremely important because its transportation methods determine the chemicals that get involved and added into the water as it travels. This relates to the hardness of water. The hardness of water is basically caused by the amounts of charged minerals in water. The two most significant

Synthesis of t-Pentyl Chloride Introduction: Using SN1 reaction mechanism with hydrochloric acid‚ t-Pentyl alcohol was converted to t-Pentyl chloride in an acid catalyzed reaction. The reaction took place in a separatory funnel designed to separate immiscible liquids. The crude product was extracted by transferring a solute from one solvent to another. The process of washing the solutions by phase transfer was used in order to remove impurities from the main solvent layer. Finally‚ the crude

Army Song Taps‚ It will compare and contrast the origin of the military song Taps. It will show the two stories that almost every member in the armed forces know or don’t know. How this song came to be the well-known song in the military to this day‚ it will also talk about what song was before the Army Song Taps and who create Taps. How is came to be the official bugle call of both the Union Army and the Confederates Army during the Civil war‚ and at what venues you can hear the song taps been play

high concentration to low concentration‚ thus requiring no energy. Many of the substances that enter or leave the cell do so through diffusion. Osmosis‚ a type of diffusion‚ is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane. In osmosis‚ water diffuses across the area of lower solute concentration to that of higher solute concentration until the solute concentrations of the environment and the cell are equal. Tonicity‚ which is the ability of a solution to gain or lose water due to

placed in different concentrations of sucrose. I am aiming to witness osmosis in 5 different concentrations of sucrose. I will use 5 varying concentrations so that I have a wider spread to compare the results‚ and check that I don’t have any anomalies Prediction Osmosis is the process of diffusion of water molecules from a weaker solution into a stronger solution‚ through a semi permeable membrane. The tiny pores in the membrane of the potatoes will allow the water molecules to go
