Lab Report 1 Introduction: Proper chemical formulas entitle many challenges such as the Law of Multiple proportions that states that there may be more than one plausible mole ratio for the elements in that compound. However if we determine the mass of each element in the compound we will be able to get the true chemical formula. In this experiment‚ we used the law of definite proportions to find the chemical formula for a hydrated compound containing copper‚ chlorine‚ and water molecules

The refraction of light lab used common materials to examine the process of the refraction of light. The title of this lab is exactly what occurs throughout the four different experiments. All four parts of this lab use prior knowledge to observe the complex concept of refraction. Refraction is the bending of a light when it enters a medium where the speed of light is different. When light enters through the glass and water the speed of light becomes decreased. This is due to the density of water

A. What is the name of the pigment that captures light? Chlorophyll B. Why does the pigment appear green? It absorbs other colors of light such as red and blue‚ so in a way the green light is reflected out since the pigment does not absorb it. 2. List two variables besides the wavelength (color) of light which might affect the rate of food production in plants. Light intensity and carbon dioxide 3. Why is chlorophyll important for all biological life? It is necessary for photosynthesis which

Cut 18 potato cores from the same potato using a knife and place them onto the lab bench. Using a scalpel and ruler (calibrated in millimeters) cut the cores into 50 mm lengths‚ with care taken to ensure no potato peel being left on them. The cutting will be to an accuracy of 1 millimeter 2. Mass each potato core using the mass balance

Scientific Writing and Standard Components of a Lab Report INTRODUCTION Writing is a powerful tool. Effective communication is necessary to succeed in any field. As a professional‚ you must communicate with both your colleagues‚ and the community at large. Writing is the means of showing the value of your work. The specific style of writing in science is based on the unique audience of readers. In addition‚ writing allows one to organize one’s thoughts and clarify ideas‚ and it fosters abstract

Abstract The objective of this lab was to determine the convective heat transfer coefficient of a heated sphere in an quiescent environment. In the experiment a hot brass sphere was put into water and cooled. The temperature of the sphere was recorded over a time of 600 seconds to see how it cooled and given temperature was recorded every 20 seconds. Results were then calculated at both of the time values 300 and 600 seconds. For the experimental results at time 300 seconds‚ the Rayleigh number

Biology 20 IB Design Lab Does increasing or decreasing the ph level of a 3% concentration H2O2 (l) solution affect the amount of oxygen released between 15.0ml of the solution and a 5g sample of liver? The reaction is measured by the difference in mass of a balloon that is used to capture the amount of gas released by the catalase enzyme found in liver reacting with a basified 3% H2O2 (l) and an acidified 3% H2O2 (l) . Chemical reactions occur when two or more molecules interact and the molecules

Microbiology Laboratory Report Identification of Unknown Bacteria 03/10/05- 04/01/05 Authors: Richard Hendricks‚ Jessica Prebish; NMU Abstract: Broth culture 16 was randomly selected by our group and subjected to qualitative tests for taxonomic identification. The culture did appear homogenous throughout the testing period and is currently retained by Northern Michigan University’s department of Microbiology. We suggest that culture 16 is an example of Escherichia coli. Background: Techniques
