Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to see how the changes in exercise intensity affect the rate of metabolism within the body. Methods: In this lab‚ indirect calorimetry was used to measure metabolic rate by calculating caloric expenditure by the measurements of oxygen consumption. The variables measured were the fraction of oxygen expired‚ the fraction of carbon dioxide expired‚ and the total volume of air inspired. This experiment required the participation of two volunteers. First‚ the variables

Title: Esterification Objective: To synthesis acetylsalicylic acid by esterification. Introduction: A pleasant‚ often fruity‚ odor is characteristic of some of the simpler esters. Ethyl butyrate smells similar to pineapples‚ the odor of n-propyl acetate is reminiscent of pears and isopentyl acetate has a strong banana fragrance. Esters are derivatives of the carboxylic acids and contain the following functional group: The synthesis of an ester can be accomplished in one of several ways. An esterification

Evolution Lab Report Marcos Chapa July 3‚ 2013 BIO 101 Rebecca Avants The purpose of the lab I have conducted is to analyze how altering the finch’s environment would affect the evolution of the finches by isolating each population of finches from each other‚ placing them each on a different island. This influence on the species by the environment is called allopatric speciation. One population of the finches that are located Darwin Island‚ which is 1 km‚ and the other population of finches

Introduction: Mitosis occurs in all eukaryotic cell tissues and produces genetically identical daughter cells with a complete set of chromosomes. In humans‚ mitosis produces somatic cells that are diploid‚ which means they contain two non-identical copies of each of the twenty-three chromosomes. One copy is derived from the person’s mother and the other from the person’s father. Meiosis‚ on the other hand‚ occurs only in testis and ovary tissues‚ producing sperm and ova (eggs). The gametes that

Redox Titration Lab ABSTRACT: In this lab‚ 0.010 M purple-colored potassium permanganate solution was standardized by redox titration with iron (II) ammonium sulfate hexahydrate (FAS). The average mass of the three flasks of FAS was 0.483 grams. Once the concentration of the standard solution of KMnO4 (aq) was determined‚ it was used to determine the concentration of Fe2+ in iron pills. On average‚ there was 0.01813 L of solution used. With this information and the balanced net-ionic equation
