were used to determine the melting point. 6. The bicarbonate extract was acidified with concentrated HCl. A piece of litmus paper showed that it was acidic. 7. The benzoic acid was extracted by shaking it with25ml portions of dichloromethane. The organic extracts were collected in a pre-weighed Erlenmeyer flask and evaporated on the steam bath. The mass of Benzoic acid produced was determined. RESULTS (i) Naphthalene: 0.85g; Benzoic acid: 0.71g (ii) The melting point of Naphthalene: 80-89º

Title L6 – Soil Permeability – Constant Head Test Introduction Permeability is measured in term of water flow through the soil in a given time. The soil permeability is a very important factor to study the behavior of soil in its natural condition with respect to water flow. The size of pore space and interconnectivity of the spaces help determine permeability‚ so shape and arrangement of grains play a role. Often the term hydraulic conductivity is used when discussing groundwater properties

Membrane Behavior Lab Abstract: Introduction: The permeability of a cell to solutes in an aqueous medium depends upon the physical and chemical make–up of the membrane. The maintenance of the living cell depends upon the continued presence and functioning of a selectively permeable membrane. If the nature of the membrane is changed or altered in any way‚ this may well affect its permeability and thus the properties of the cell of which it is a part. Irreversible changes in the permeability

move across the cell membrane is that the carbon dioxide molecules spread out rapidly out your red blood cells down their concentration gradient to your lungs. When water molecules move freely through your cell membrane is called osmosis as we learned last unit. The reason why molecules move across the cell membrane is because they are small molecules that have no charge like oxygen which the cell membrane need to survive. So basically the molecules that move across the cell membrane are necessary

The Effects of Various Chemicals and Temperature on Membrane Permeability of Beetroot Name: Ghazal Daneshfar E-mail: GDANES200@caledonian.ac.uk Student ID: S1312108 INTRODUCTION The cell membrane consists of mostly phospholipids and proteins which gives the cell its selectively permeable nature. The function and permeability of the cell membrane depends on its whole structure. When destroyed‚ the permeability of the cell membrane is disrupted causing cellular contents to leak out

Outline the roles of membrane at the surface of the cell The plasma membrane encloses the cell‚ defines it boundaries and maintains the essential differences between the cytosol and the extra-cellular environment. The separation of the internal and external environment maintains a constant internal environment which is essential for the cell to function efficiently. Membrane receptors can interact with specific molecules corresponding to stimuli such as hormones to generate a signal cascade which

through the 20 MWCO because the membrane pores are too small and the urea molecules are large. The molecular weight of Urea is 60.07 g/mol which is too large thus the molecules were not able to pass through the pores of the 20 MWCO. The results that I obtained from the experiment agreed with these predictions because urea was no able to diffuse through the 20 MWCO. 3. Describe the results of the attempts to diffuse glucose and albumin through the 200 MWCO membranes. How well did the results compare

The cell‚ which is the smallest unit of life‚ is surrounded by a plasma membrane. The plasma membrane functions somewhat like a wall‚ as it keeps the internal contents from the external environment. Just like a wall‚ the membrane is also somewhat permeable‚ except that the membrane takes a much more active role in determining what is allowed in to the cell and what is kept out. The plasma membrane is a very thin structure‚ which has some very important tasks. One of the main tasks that it performs
