Water Testing Lab Conclusion In this lab‚ chemical tests were used to check for the presence of calcium‚ chloride‚ and sulfate ions in water samples. To do this‚ the testers started with five samples: a reference‚ a sample of only the chemical being tested for‚ a control‚ distilled water‚ two home water samples‚ and a school water sample. To test for the ions in the water‚ a chemical that would react with the ion and create a precipitate was added. If the precipitate was not easily visible‚ a

Sacramento tap water reveals ion concentrations of various different dissolved minerals such as calcium (Ca2+) and magnesium (Mg2+). These concentrations are a result of mineral deposits in local lakes and rivers. Perma Pure‚ a gas conditioning products manufacturing company‚ simplifies the mechanism of ion exchange by explaining that water is a solvent that dissolves most ionic bonds when exposed to compounds ("The Mechanism of Ion Exchange"). Therefore‚ as tap water passes through rocks it will

Nivaldo J. Tro describes kinetics as the study of how changes that occur in chemical reactions take place over time‚ and because of its vast utilization in a multitude of industries‚ it may be one of the most significant and fascinating aspects in the entire chemical world. One application of the study of kinetics can be applied to the determination of the rate of a chemical reaction involving a certain selection of chemicals (FD&C Blue #1 and sodium hypochlorite). The purpose of the proceeding experiment

time began to lighten up. The color change to brown indicated that the reaction began and this is why an iodine crystal was placed in the solution. The reaction started to boil due to its own reflux so heat didn’t need to be applied. Next the anhydrous ether solution was added very slowly in a dropwise manner with a needle through the septum cap on the condenser. This was added through the septum because it created an environment that made it difficult for water to get through. Another setup for this

Sodium: Sodium is essential to all living beings Basic functions: Sodium has 3 main functions: it helps in the absorption of glucose and some amino acids in the small intestine‚ it is required for normal muscle and nerve function‚ and it aids in water balance. Glucose generated by digestion of starch or lactose is absorbed in the small intestine only by cotransport with sodium‚ a fact that has exceptionally important implications in medicine. Glucose and galactose are taken into the enterocyte by

One pair of plates is labeled 4^0 C and the second pair RT (room temperature). After taking the lids of the first pair ‚using a tooth pick‚ a small crystal of potassium permanganate is placed in the center of the of the agar and the same amount of

Chemistry Lab Report Jeffrey Kenneth Bangero Introduction Firstly we calculated the mass of the beaker and then we put the assigned grams of sodium carbonate and calcium chloride. Then we add 50 ml of distilled water to each substance‚ sodium carbonate dissolved faster than calcium carbonate. After we mixed both sodium carbonate and calcium chloride and they form a solid precipitate. Then we poured it a funnel with a filter paper to get the solid precipitate. Purpose ● The purposed

Enzymes are proteins or nucleic acids that catalyze reactions. They are able to speed up reactions by reducing the activation energy of a reaction. Each kind of enzyme has a specific shape that matches its substrate so it can bind to its active site. Enzymes convert their substrates into a product. Enzyme activity are affected by factors such as temperature‚ pH‚ and time. If an enzyme is exposed to extreme heat‚ it will become denatured‚ that is‚ to become deformed and lose its original shape which

Bases are substances that are in aqueous solution‚ are slippery to the touch‚ taste bitter‚ change the color of indicators Examples turn red litmus paper blue and react with acids to form salts‚ promote certain chemical reactions. General properties of a base are Concentrated or strong bases and are caustic on organic matter and react violently with acidic substances. Also bases can are bitter in taste. And the pH of a basic solution at standard conditions is greater than seven. Strong bases are

Introduction: Enzymes are “specialized proteins made by living cells that serve as biological catalysts.” (eScience Labs‚ LLC‚ 2013) These enzymes “allow certain industrial processes to be carried out at normal temperatures and pressures‚ thereby reducing the amount of energy and expensive equipment needed.”(BBC‚ 2012) Enzymatic
