Abstract This lab was focused on determining the optimal temperature of the enzyme amylase responsible for catabolizing starch polymers and to see how different temperatures affected the rate as well as how effectively the enzyme worked. To proceed with the experiment the group set up four different test tubes for each‚ bacteria and fungal amylase‚ and labeled them accordingly with different temperatures as well as different solutions . Then the spot plates were placed on the time and temperature

Introduction to Microscale Laboratory Niki Gharavi *‚ Minh Nguyen San Jose City College ABSTRACT: The objective of the experiment was to be introduced to working with the lab equipment‚ specifically heating and measuring‚ and to be able to create some of the apparatus that future experiments will require. Heating methods used were an aluminum block‚ a sand bath‚ and a water bath. The aluminum block heated most quickly while the others were more stable. Regarding the measurement of water‚ the less

One of the main learning experiences of this lab is to learn the importance of calibrating a sensor. In most cases‚ a sensor will not have an output that is exactly what you need. An example of this is a strain gage. A stain gage gives back a voltage‚ but with that given voltage a distance can be found. Introduction: In this experiment‚ the QNET-MECHKIT was used. This board has multiple compact sensors that can be used for experiments. For this lab we will be using the strain gage to find the

The experimental membrane we used in this lab acted as a barrier in which only a small number of molecules can pass through. In this experiment we wanted to show the process of osmosis‚ in which water passes through the aforementioned barrier. Osmosis is critical to life because the process regulates

Name Lab‚ Week #1 BALANCE LAB Introduction Several instruments are used for determining the mass of a chemical; these instruments are called “balances.” However‚ different balances have different measurements‚ meaning that some balances are more accurate than others. Moreover‚ there are several techniques that are used or practiced in order to obtain an accurate measurement. The two techniques are direct weighing and weighing by difference. Direct weighing simply means to read the mass

Adwoa Fosuah Bio Psych Lab Report 4 Cold Pressor Task Aim The cold pressor test is done by having the subject submerge their hands in a bucket of cold water to determine cardiovascular changes such as blood pressure and heart rate. For this experiment we wanted to know how long participant can keep their feet in the bucket of ice water before they experience any pain while looking at neutral and positive pictures and also rate the intensity of their pain. For this reason we hypothesized that

of Oxalate Ion in Ferric Oxalate Trihydrate using Titrimetry Abstract: In this two-part lab‚ we will learn about coordination compounds and their uses with stoiciometry. We will also find out about how theoretical yield is calculated from a reaction we will create. We will also synthesize Potassium Ferric Oxalate Trihydrate (K_3 [〖Fe(C_2 O_4)〗_3]•3H_2 O) using a two step reaction. In the second part of this lab we will calculate how much Oxalate Ion is present in the K_3 [〖Fe(C_2 O_4)〗_3]•3H_2 O using
