A Report of Experiment 1 Purification and Identification of An Unknown Mixture Aim To separate a mixture of a neutral (ester‚ alcohol‚ ketone‚ aldehyde or ether) and an acidic compound (phenol or carboxylic acid) or a neutral and a basic compound (amine)‚ and to identify the unknown mixture by physical (M.P. or B.P.) and spectroscopic methods (NMR‚ IR and MS). Method The mixture (sample number: 27) was dissolved in 200 mL of CH2Cl2 and then extracted with 10% NaOH. The acid was removed

Lab: investigating hooked law with springs Purpose: to find spring constants of different springs using the slope of a graph of change in heights vs. the weight force. Also‚ to be able to understand how spring constants change when you add springs in a series or paralle Pre lab predictions: We predicted that the graph of gravitational force (mg) as a function of stretch (delta x) would look like Data: Spring #1: y = 8.2941x + 0.0685 This table represents the different distances that

The purpose of this experiment was to isolate and purify cholesterol from egg yolks. Two hard boiled egg yolks were twice extracted with diethyl ether and methanol‚ with the filtrate collected via vacuum filtration. Potassium hydroxide pellets were added to the filtrate‚ the ether was distilled off‚ and the mixture was saponified by reflux. The crude cholesterol was isolated through a series of ether extractions and aqueous washes; then the ether was dried with MgSO4 and removed by rotary evaporation

Introduction A mutator strain is one that lacks certain repair methods when a mistake is made during DNA replication. The strain of E. coli that was used in this lab‚ XL-1 Red Mutator‚ lacked three different repair methods used to correct mistake in DNA replication. If a mistake occurred‚ the E. coli would not be able to make repairs via DNA polymerase backtracking‚ mismatch repair‚ or oxo-dGTP hydrolysis. The E. coli will still be able to use the other ways to repair mistakes including SOS

Bacterial Transformation Lab Introduction: In this experiment we transformed a strain of E. Coli bacteria without antibiotic resistance with plasmid DNA. This plasmid produces a fluorescent green glow under black light due to the gfp(green fluorescent protein) as well as antibiotic resistance. E. Coli cells will be plated on an agar medium‚ some with and some without the antibiotic ampicillin. Only bacterial cells that contain the plasmid will survive the ampicillin and produce the green glow

cheese. Lactic acid bacteria(LAB)‚ a bacteria that can be found in the production of cheese‚ its stress gene was investigated in the experiment by using various biochemical and genetic techniques to identify and extract. The characterisation of the strain illustrates how identification of strains differ using different methods‚ such as gram stain and 16s rRNA screening. After the characterisation‚ the stress gene isolation assist the further understanding of the gene on LAB be giving different stress

of the specialized underlying structures of these life-forms. In order for us to appreciate these special adaptation‚ we first need to know how a typical plant or an animal cell organelle behaves in different water and solute concentrations. In this lab‚ we will determine the effects of hypertonic‚ isotonic and hypotonic solutions on plant and animal cells. In general when an animals cell’s placed in hypertonic solution it shrivels; a plant cell on the other hand undergoes plasmolysis. When an animal

rest of the tests we had to work with other groups so that we could finish off the experiments. Other than some slight mishaps the whole of the experiment including the calculations everything when pretty smooth. Aspirin Synthesising and Purification History of Aspirin The compound‚ from which the active ingredient in Aspirin was first found in salicylic acid‚ was found in the bark of a willow tree in 1763 by Reverend Edmund Stone. The bark from the willow tree contains high levels of Salicin

Purpose of the Experiment: The intention of the experiment is to use solvent extraction methods to separate a mixture containing a carboxylic acid and a neutral compound. Once recovered‚ the solids were purified by recrystallization and examined by thin-layer chromatography‚ and their identities were derived by melting point and infrared (IR) spectroscopy. Extraction is a procedure that selectively dissolves one or more of the mixture compounds into a proper solvent. Extraction refers to
