The purpose of this experiment was to study the effect acid rain has on seed germination and after performing this experiment is can be concluded that acid rain has a negative effect on seed germination. When seeds are soaked in an acidic solution the process of germination slows. Acidic solutions‚ while do slow growth of a seed‚ they do not kill the seed. A seed can be dormant for a majority of its lifespan‚ seeds watered with acid solutions stayed in a dormant condition. For example‚ trial three

CHEMICAL REACTIONS: ACID-BASE BUFFERS Short Overview Acids and bases represent two of the most common classes of compounds. Many studies have been done on these compounds‚ and their reactions are very important. Perhaps the most important reaction is the one in which an acid and base are combined‚ resulting in the formation of water (in aqueous solution) and a salt; this reaction is called neutralization. A buffer solution is a solution that contains both an acid and a salt containing

Objectives 1. To separate a mixture of an acid and a neutral compound into its component by extraction. 2. To determine the melting point and the yield of the benzoic acid and the unknown sample. 3. To determine the unknown sample whether is is Trimethylmethanol or 1‚2‚4‚5-Tetrachlorobenzene. Introduction Extraction is a process of transferring a solute from one solvent to another. It is usually used to separate one or more components from a mixture. Diethyl ether‚ dichloromethane

Electrophoresis of Amino Acids Introduction: Electrophoresis is a separation technique based on the movement of charged ions under the influence of an electrical field. This technique is primarily used for the separation of amino acids and peptides on the basis of their charge. All amino acids contain ionizable groups that cause the amino acids‚ in solution‚ to act as charged polyelectrolytes that can migrate in an electric field. The amino acids with a net positive charge will migrate toward

The Effectiveness of Phosphoric Acid on Meat Chapter I. Introduction A. Background Of The Study This experiment was performed to find out if the acidity in Coca Cola could dissolve meat. The testing was done by placing pieces of pork‚ chicken breast and salmon into bowls filled with Coca Cola‚ and observing meat for 5 days. Coca Cola is a popular carbonated beverage that is sold in more than 200 countries. Also known as Coke‚ it can be purchased from vending machines‚ department stores and

INVESTIGATION INTO THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON CATALASE ACTIVITY AIM The aim of this experiment is to find out the effect of temperature on catalase or hydrogen peroxide. This will enable us to tell at what temperature hydrogen peroxide is most efficient. This (degradation) reaction will help us determine some of the catalase’s different attributes. HYPOTHESIS In this experiment it would be safe to hypothesise that no activity would take place at 1 to 20 degrees. It would be probable that a
