Introduction The aims of the lab session was to familiarize with the principles‚ operation and application of a light spectrophotometer. This report discusses an experiment to study the relationship of absorbance and concentration‚ the interaction of electromagnetic radiant energy(ERE) and matter which is an important aspect of the Beer-Lambert ’s Law. This law states that the absorption of a compound is directly proportional to the concentration of that particular compound. This is because (a &

Ph Lab Report Bryon Kim 123013 B(2) Biology Background information/Research PH paper (litmus paper) determines how acidic or how basic a substance is. The paper changes color accordingly to color code on the pH scale. The pH scale starts from 0 to 14. The lower the number the more acidic it is. Zero is the most acidic‚ and 14 is the most basic while 7 is the neutral number for example water. Examples of an acid is lemon juice or multi purpose cleaner. Examples of a basic substance is shampoo or liquid soap

such unique organisms‚ they accumulate different metal anions in the air than other organisms‚ like plants do‚ for example. Lichens attract toxic metal ions. An ion is a charged atom. If the ion has a positive charge‚ it is a cation. An ion with a negative charge is an anion. During the ion exchange process‚ Hydrogen‚ an anion‚ is released and metal cations move in. This process occurs when lichens are exposed to polluted air. When the lichens are dropped into any of the metal solutions‚ their cell

(50%). Although this information is reported‚ the true composition of Panacetin is questionable. While sucrose and aspirin are present in Panacetin‚ Tylenol may be replaced by an unknown component (acetanilide or phenacetin). Separation of the components of a sample of Panacetin may prove valuable in identification of the unknown component‚ as well as the true percent composition of each component of Panacetin. This experiment involves two parts‚ covering a few required techniques to be learned

Lab Report Marisa McKinney P. 2 Purpose: To investigate the periodic variation of density in Group 4A elements. Background: When the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number‚ they exhibit periodic recurrence of properties. Elements in the same group in the periodic table tend to have similar physical and chemical properties. These similarities are due‚ in large part‚ to similarities among the electron configurations of the elements in a group. You can find periodic

Abstract: This report presents the reason why the ocean does not freeze in the winter. Since the ocean consists of salt water‚ an experiment was done to test the effect of freezing on salt water compared to pure water. The experiment was conducted three times in order to obtain accurate results and eliminate errors. In addition to the salt and pure water experiment‚ a variation of this experiment was created to test other options. In the variation experiment the effect of freezing on sugar water

considered to be unknown since the specific ligand amounts are unknown. By determining the percent composition of various elements and compounds in the unknown‚ its true identity can be predicted. Chloride‚ ammonia‚ and cobalt are three examples of percent compositions determined to help narrow the selection of possible unknowns. Titrations using Na2S2O3 and HCl to determine percent cobalt and ammonia‚ respectively‚ are used. Silver nitrate is used to precipitate the chloride ions in the unknown‚ which

used to confirm the fermentation were a gas production test‚ pH test‚ Gram stain‚ and turbidity test. The results showed during the conversion of milk to Kefir there was gas produced‚ a decrease in pH‚ more bacteria present‚ and an increase in absorbency. The results proved that fermentation occurred with three positive confirmatory results from the gas production‚ pH‚ and turbidity tests‚ while the Gram stain test acted as a negative confirmatory test. Introduction: The main goal of this experiment

Concentration on Absorbance Background Information The purpose of the “Determining Solution ‘Concentration’ Using A Spectrophotometer” lab was to use a spectrophotometer to find the relationship of concentration and absorbance obeying the Beer-Lambert law‚ which states concentration and absorbance are directly related‚ to then further determine the concentration of three unknown solutions. With the assumption that the solutions obey the Beer-Lambert law it is predicted that as concentration increases‚ absorbance

Alka-Seltzer Rocket Formal Lab Report Abstract In the Alka-Seltzer Rocket lab one was to experimentally determine how much (grams) Alka-Seltzer and water in mL‚ is needed to launch the rocket the highest/longest distance in cm. Also to experimentally determine the % NaHCO3 in the tablet using the information from the highest/longest distance. Calculate the error and % error of NaHCO3 in an Alka-Seltzer tablet and to determine the limiting reagent for the highest/longest distance traveled. Alka-Seltzer
