Abby Goldschmidt Honors Biology 2° Mrs. Gempel September 3‚ 2015 Daphnia Lab Results Paper Abstract The goal of the study was to observe the effects of multiple chemicals on a Daphnia magna’s heart-rate compared to a control (pond water). The different chemicals were caffeine and alcohol. The heart-rate was the main variable in this experiment. The Daphnia’s heart-rate was observed for 15 seconds and then multiplied by 4 to show its heart-rate in one minute. This was repeated 4 times for each

The Determination of the Concentration of Hard Water Ions by the Titration of EDTA By Hannah Denby Lab partners: Heidi Kiziah‚ Leonie Hamel University of Central Florida‚ CHM 2046L December 3rd‚ 2015 Abstract. The “hardness” of water is a common dilemma attributed by high concentrations of metals such as calcium and magnesium. This is a result of the properties of water; because it is a good solvent‚ impurities are easily dissolved. As water moves through soil and rock‚ it dissolves minute amounts

Nool‚ C. P. R. M. Orpilla‚ K. L. Pascual College of Engineering‚ Adamson University Abstract THIS EXPERIMENT IS ABOUT THE SPECIFIC HEAT OF VARIOUS METALS. THE MAIN OBJECTIVES OF THIS LABORATORY ACTIVITY ARE TO DETERMINE THE SPECIFIC HEAT OF METALS AND TO COMPARE THE EXPERIMENTAL RESULT OF SPECIFIC HEAT FROM THE STANDARD VALUE. ANOTHER PURPOSE OF THIS EXPERIMENT IS TO DETERMINE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE SPECIFIC HEAT OF THE MATERIAL AND THE CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE. LASTLY‚ IS TO

William Piumbroeck Chem 214 Acid-Base Titration‚ Determination of Carbonate and Bicarbonate in a water sample Introduction The purpose of this lab is to determine the concentration of two bases‚ carbonate and bicarbonate‚ by using a potentiometric titration. We can determine the concentration of the bases in the reactions ( H+ +CO3- < ==> HCO3- and H+ + HCO3- < ==> H2CO3-) by the way the pH of the solution changes. The way the pH changes when a strong acid is added can

Polypeptides‚ better known as proteins‚ carry out nearly all of a cell’s functions. A protein is made up of at least one or more amino acid polymers. The necessity of proteins for life is unequivocal‚ not only do they help to form the structures of cells but they act as enzymes in reactions of the body1. Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower the amount of activation energy needed in carrying out biochemical reactions1. Enzymes are responsible for almost every reaction that occurs in a cell

which will project the waves onto a screen. The number of electrodes can vary up to two hundred and fifty-six electrodes. The more electrodes are present‚ the more accurate the result. For this experiment‚ three electrodes were used including the ground and system electrode. The EEG that was carried out in the lab therefore‚ was not as accurate as other EEGs carried out and so errors in results could be due to this.

RER of 0.7 means that carbohydrates are being used for fuel‚ and a ratio of 1.0 means that only fatty acids are being used for fuel; of course‚ values can fall between. Methods: To observe the effects of prolonged exercise on the metabolic system the lab subject needed to walk on the treadmill at a rate that kept his heart rate at 60% of his maximum. The

Proteomics is the study of proteomes‚ which are groups of proteins in living systems. It is used to examine when and where proteins are being expressed‚ rate of degradation‚ modifications‚ how they interact with other proteins and more. The goal in this lab was to determine the similarities and differences in muscle proteins among 5 species of fish using SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. First‚ proteins are separated based on size. Second‚ antibodies are used to detect the protein of interest. Lastly‚ a substrate

Enzymes are proteins produced by living cells of that act as catalysts which affects the rate of biochemical reaction by speeds up the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas. The students have formed a hypothesis toward this experiment. If the speed of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is related to the temperature then in high temperature it will speeds the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.

Santo Tomas ABSTRACT The experiment was executed in order to purify compounds through recrystallization. Recrystallization is the primary used operation for purifying solid organic compounds that differ in solubility at different temperature. It is a process of dissolving the solid to be crystallized in a hot solvent mixture and then cooling the solution slowly. The objective of the experiment is to purify crude acetanilide product. At the beginning of the experiment‚ materials and solutions needed
