1) Using tweezers remove individual plants from the soil and remove the roots with scissors. Measure the weight of each individual and place in a 1.5 mL microfuge tube. Place this tube directly into liquid N2 to freeze plant tissue. 2) Remove tubes from the liquid N2 and quickly grind the plant tissue with a pestle. Add 300 L of Methanol 1%HCl and continue to grind the plant tissue. Allow extraction to occur overnight in a dark refrigerator. 3) Add 200 L Milli-Q H20 to each tube. Next

a day of oil are being pumped from our own roots. It’s being sent all around the world to supply the oil needs of the people. Many people around the United States and even us North Dakotans have no clue the vastness of oil drilling in our state and to know what’s going on in your state is good knowledge to have. A few times a year I travel to the western side of the state to the town of Williston where my grandparents live and everywhere you look there are oil drills‚ oil workers‚ and oil related

Heather Myers iLab‚ Week #6 CRUDE OIL DISTILLATION Introduction The purpose of this lab is to distill crude oil and learn how the chemical properties influence the temperature. The distillation of a substance is based on the boiling points. When the crude oil is brought to a boil‚ at 275°C‚ the gasoline and kerosene are distilled‚ but the lubricant remains part of the crude oil. Procedure 1. From the Equipment menu‚ select Distillation Equipment and obtain a Round Bottom Flask (100 ml). 2. Select
