of the consequences of excessive drinking. After connecting with her‚ I wanted to know if alcohol concentration in spirits would affect the cells in the body. Thus‚ I decided to test my theory by adapting a class beetroot experiment to my investigation. The aim of this experiment is to investigate the effect of alcohol concentration on a biotic cell membrane. The human body cannot live long with damaged cells because they are the building blocks of life. Cell membranes are phospholipid bilayers meaning

A red–black tree is similar in structure to a B-tree of order[note 1] 4‚ where each node can contain between 1 to 3 values and (accordingly) between 2 to 4 child pointers. In such B-tree‚ each node will contain only one value matching the value in a black node of the red–black tree‚ with an optional value before and/or after it in the same node‚ both matching an equivalent red node of the red–black tree. One way to see this equivalence is to "move up" the red nodes in a graphical representation

Determination of Water in a Hydrate DESIGN – Aspect 1: Defining the problem & selecting variables Research Question: What percentage of Copper Sulfate Hydrate is water? Background Information: There are many ionic compounds that contain one or more waters of hydration in their formulae. They exists either in anhydrous or hydrated form. Most anhydrous compounds have a strong tendency to absorb water from the humidity in the atmosphere and shifts into a hydrated form. Because of

Butenedioic Acid Objective: To study the interconversion of two geometric isomers‚ maleic acid (cis isomer) to fumaric acid (trans isomers)‚ the differences in physical properties between this pair of cis-trans isomers and determine the stereochemistry of addition of bromine to butenedioic acid. Chemicals and Apparatus: 2 grams of maleic acid‚ 10 cm3 of concentrated hydrochloric acid‚ 10 cm3 of bromine water[1]‚ one 50 cm3 beaker‚ one 100 cm3 beaker‚ one 250 cm3 beaker‚ one 10 cm3 measuring

Chemistry 121 Experiment 19 Molar Mass Determination y Depression of the Freezing Point Introduction: The most commonly used liquid is water. In this experiment we study the equilibria that can exist between pure water and an aqueous solution‚ and ice‚ the solid form of water. The heat will transfer from a higher temperature to a lower temperature. In order for water to change states of matter‚ it takes a certain amount of kinetic energy or heat. The shift from ice to water (solid to a liquid)

Experiment 1: TLC Analysis of Analgesic Drugs 1/23/2011 Purpose: The goal of this experiment is to test our knowledge and understanding of TLC analysis by having us do a TLC analysis of analgesics to figure out their main chemical components. Calculations: 1.) Rf = Distance spot traveled/ distance solvent traveled Results: Table 1: TLC Analysis Analgesic Drugs | Rf Value | Acetaminophen | 0.323 | Aspirin | 0.597 | Caffeine | 0.081 | Unknown 154 (Plate 1) | 0.081‚ 0.306‚ 0.597

INTRODUCTION Given appropriate chemicals and equipment‚ the specific heat capacity and molar mass of a metal‚ enthalpy of neutralization of an acid and base‚ and the enthalpy of solution of an unknown salt can be determined by following specific procedures. All of these procedures require the use of a calorimeter‚ which are of two types: a bomb calorimeter and a coffee cup calorimeter. Calorimeters are simply devices used to measure the amount of heat gained or lost in a system. Although this

1.0 Title Determination of Protein Content Using Kjedahl and Titration 2.0 Introduction Proteins are polymers. They are the source of dietary amino acids and are used for growth and maintenance of living systems. They are costlier sources of energy compared to carbohydrates and fats and hence the human body utilizes proteins mainly for biosynthesis rather than as an energy source‚ though the energy yield is 5 kcal/g of protein. Twenty different types of amino acids occur naturally in proteins

Abstract By using acid-base titration‚ we determined the suitability of phenolphthalein and methyl red as acid base indicators. We found that the equivalence point of the titration of hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide was not within the ph range of phenolphthalein’s color range. The titration of acetic acid with sodium hydroxide resulted in an equivalence point out of the range of methyl red. And the titration of ammonia with hydrochloric acid had an equivalence point that was also out of
