Abstract: The main objective of this Lab‚ is to experiment with stoichiometric measurements‚ since it is one of the most important subjects in chemistry. In addition‚ stoichiometric measurement is widely used in chemistry‚ because it indicates the proportion of mass in which various substances react. By examining one specific example of stoichiometric determination‚ which is: “Stoichiometry and limiting reacting”‚ we found out the different mass proportions in which substance react. In this case

Objective To determine soluble solid concentration in some fruits including tropical and temperate fruits by using handheld refractometer. Introduction “Sugar are the major soluble in fruits juices and estimate of sweetness. Other soluble materials include organic and amino acids‚ soluble pectins‚ and others. Soluble solid concentration can be determined in a small sample of fruits juice using a hand held refractometer. The measurement must be made at 20°C to get an accurate value. This instrument

Internal assessment on enzyme concentration Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts and they are the most important type of protein. My aim in this experiment was to investigate the effect of enzyme concentration on the rate of an enzyme (protease) – catalyzed reaction ‚ catalysts speed up chemical reactions . My hypothesis is that the rate as reaction will increase as the concentration of protease in the solution increases so it will take less time for

determine the concentration of acetic acid in white vinegar. 2.0 Theory The concentration is a measurement of relative amounts of solute and solvent. There are many diverse ways of expressing concentration but the most accepted and widely used is molar concentration and regularly referred to as molarity which is defined in mole‚ the amount of solute dissolved in one litre of solution. [pic] In this experiment there are solutions used with accurately known concentrations called standard

Serum creatinine concentration shows a relationship with GFR‚ making it specific‚ but not a sensitive measure of GFR. The creatinine pool is influenced by nutritional state‚ hepatic disease gender‚ ethnicity‚ protein intake‚ and age (Slack et al.‚ 2010). In liver cirrhosis‚ the decrease in serum creatinine is due to a 50% reduction in hepatic production of creatine; increases in volume of distribution due to accumulation of extracellular fluid‚ ascites‚ edema‚ loss of muscle mass and malnutrition

Salt Water or Fresh Water‚ Which Would You Prefer? Many people wonder‚ what big differences are between salt water and fresh water? Is it just water with salt versus water without salt? Those are some common questions people have. Most people ask about the differences‚ but they forget about the similarities of salt water and fresh water‚ as well. Did you know that Salt water and fresh water have very different plant and animal life? There are also a few complex fish that can live in both

To investigate the effect of different caffeine concentration on the heartbeat rate of Daphnia at room temperature. Introduction: Caffeine is found‚ and produced in many plant species to function as a natural pesticide‚ and as an inhibitor of seed germination of other nearby coffee seedlings to give it a better chance of survival. Caffeine is able to paralyze and kill certain insects upon feeding on the plants that produce caffeine. Coffee‚ tea and cocoa are common caffeine-containing

beaker containing an unknown salt‚ x. The salt is crystalline‚ deliquescent and colorless. The student is asked to perform test and observation on the salt to determine the cation and anion present. HYPOTHESIS: Perhaps by using the flame test or reacting salt x with NaOH‚ or NH4OH the cation could be distinguished by observing the color changes or solubility while reacting salt x with H2SO4 or a mixture of copper turnings and concentrated sulphuric acid the anion of the salt could be found.

monosaccharide reducing sugar (Kolej Mara Banting – Students’ Handbook for Biology HL Year 1). It is the simplest form of carbohydrate. In this experiment‚ sulphuric acid‚ H2SO4 and potassium permanganate‚ KMnO4 is added into glucose with different concentration and the time taken for the purple pink colour of potassium permanganate solution to change to colourless is recorded. This is because glucose donates electrons to the permanganate ions‚ causing it to change colour (Kolej Mara Banting – Students’

Which did not? Why? Albumin‚ too large to diffuse Activity 2: Simulating Dialysis 1. What happens to the urea concentration in the left beaker (the patient)? It mixes with the water to balance out the structure. 2. Why does this occur? Molecules are moving around to make space. Facilitated Diffusion Activity 3: Facilitated Diffusion 1. At a given glucose concentration‚ how does the amount of time it takes to reach equilibrium change with the number of carriers used to “build” the membranes
