Determination of an Unknown Concentration of Potassium Manganate using Colorimetry Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to conclude the concentration of an unknown solution using colorimetry to plot a calibration curve. Colorimetry measures the absorption of light at wavelengths within the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. It can be used to identify the unknown concentration of a solution in reference to a solution of a known concentration. When a solution appears coloured

Sucrose Synthesis by D. DeWitt‚ PhD v1.5 11/10/12 Introduction | Condensation Reaction | Plant Synthesis | A. Introduction Although it might seem straight forward‚ the synthesis of sucrose‚ either as a simple condensation reaction (a.k.a. dehydration synthesis)‚ or what actually happens in plants is complicated. Before we explore sucrose’s creation‚ let’s take a look at its structure. In Figure 1‚ the space-filling model is pretty but rather useless at this point in our journey. We

Abstract Three tests were performed to determine the identity of unknown number 34‚ a gram stain‚ citrate utilization test‚ and a urease detection test. These tests are explained in detail‚ and the method of performing the tests is described. The tests showed that the bacterium was gram-negative bacilli that did not utilize citrate‚ and the ability to hydrolyze urea using urease. These results indicate that the identity of unknown number 34 is Proteus mirabilis. Introduction Proteus mirabilis is

what osmosis is. Osmosis is the passage of water from a region of high water concentration through a semi permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration. This definition contains three important statements: a) It is the passage of water through a semi permeable membrane b) It is the passage of water from a region of high water concentration c) It is the passage of water to a region of low water concentration. All the above statements are included in the definition‚ but define certain

Abstract Literature on Van’t Hoff’s law states that water potentials and zero weight change osmolalities will be the same for potato cores placed in varying concentrations of solutes of NaCl‚ glucose‚ and sucrose. This experiment was designed to test these predictions and compare them to data gathered course wide. We found that the mean water potentials were all within 0.26 bars of each other‚ and that the zero weight change osmolalities were all within 0.035 mols of each other. This supported Van’t

Lab: Flame Test Purpose: to determine the ID of 2 unknown substances Background Information: Every atom consists of a nucleus with tiny electrons whizzing around it. The further away from the nucleus they are‚ the more energy the electrons have. If a metal atom is heated‚ the electrons get enough energy to jump higher away from the nucleus‚ they become “excited”. When they fall back closer to the nucleus (back to their ground state)‚ they give off this extra energy as light. Why is the

at different sucrose concentrations? Hypothesis The raisin in the beaker with most diluted sucrose solution will gain the most mass‚ therefore the control (0% sucrose solution) should be the most successful (in relation to the aim.) Background Information / theory Osmosis may occur when there is a partially permeable membrane‚ such as a cell membrane. When a cell is submerged in water‚ the water molecules pass through the cell membrane from an area of low solute concentration (outside the

Carlie Haeffner Qualitative Analysis March 20‚ 2015 The purpose of this lab is to identify unknown ions in a solution by using a type of chemical reaction called precipitate reactions. The key to finding which ions are present in a solution is to form a precipitate which makes the ions “come out” in a reaction (McNeil‚ 2013-2014). Water is used in these experiments to act as a solvent. Since water is a polar molecule‚ the slightly positive and negative charges will sometimes pull apart molecules

and how it had the overall impact in this excitement a little on osmosis. Osmosis takes place when two solutions of different concentrations are separated by a semi-permeable membrane in which the solvent can pass through but not the solute. In our experiment‚ we used a sucrose solution that will be a hypotonic concentration of solute. This tells us that the solution has a lower concentration of water than does the cells. Therefore‚ due to osmosis‚ the cells will gain water weight also proven in

Investigation We are trying to find out what the concentration of the solutions is inside the vacuole of a potato cell. We will investigate how the mass of the potato chips change in different sucrose solution concentrations. We will use osmosis to do this. I will be measuring and controlling many different variables‚ these include; - The dependent Variable Weight of potato chip Independent Variable Concentration of sucrose Control Variables consist of; - 1.
