Citrate Test: Some bacteria can use citrate as a source of carbon. To test if the unknown bacteria uses citrate as a source of carbon‚ Simmon’s citrate agar was used as the medium on which the bacteria was grown. The Simmon’s citrate agar consists of sodium citrate as the source of carbon‚ ammonium dihydrogen phosphate as the source of nitrogen along with pH indicator such as bromothymol blue. Procedure: The Citratase activity was detected by inoculating the unknown bacteria on the slant surface

Introduction For the last week‚ specific tests had to be applied to determine the unknown solid that was given out randomly. Physical tests‚ solubility test‚ characteristic tests‚ NMR spectrums‚ and IR spectrums were all utilized to distinguish the identity of the solid. These assessments and a couple additional tests will be utilized again to determine the unknown liquid that was given to us in class. The other characteristics that will be looked at will be the boiling point‚ refracted index‚ and

Background In the Flame test lab we took a simple wire‚ looped it‚ and rinsed it in HCL (Hydrochloric Acid ). Then we dipped the wire in the different samples provided. The samples provided were Sodium‚Potassium‚Calcium‚ Barium‚ Strontium‚ Lithium ‚ and Copper II. Finally we put the wire loop into the flame of the bunsen burner. The flame erupted into many different colors for each specific sample. We then used the colors we recorded to find the two unknown samples given to us. But the question

Flame Test Lab Morgan Chemistry CP 5/30/14 Abstract- In the flame test lab‚ the flame test was performed to excite the electrons in the samples and observe the color of the flame. The flame emits a color because each element has an exactly defined emission spectrum‚ which one can use to identify them. For example‚ NaCl was highlighter yellow‚ Sr(NO3)2 was sun orange‚ CuCl2 was turquoise‚ LiCl was neon red‚ KCl was solar flare yellow‚ and BaCl2 was Voldemort green. Introduction- In Bohr’s

urpose: The purpose of this lab is to determine the impact of light on the germination of seeds Research: A seed is the reproductive unit of a plant that contains a mature ovule with an embryo. The seed is made up of the seed coat hard shell over the seed‚ two cotyledons‚ fleshy membranes that store food‚ an epicotyl‚ which forms the primary shoot‚ the radicle‚ the primary root of the seed‚ and the hypocotyl‚ the stem of the epicotyl. When the seed is triggered by water to sprout‚ a process called

My partner and I were given unknown number 3 in the laboratory. After performing various tests over the course of a few weeks on our unknown‚ we came to the conclusion that our unknown organism is Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae). K. pneumoniae is a gram negative bacillus shaped microorganism. We observed that K. pneumoniae is a nonmotile organism. We performed multiple tests on our unknown culture‚ therefore we are very confident that it is correctly identified. We identified that K. pneumoniae

During the lab experiment six different test were conducted. Each test consists of chemicals to be tested using 3 to 10 drops of the additive in order to observe a change. With any experiment you compose a hypothesis; where you make an educated guess. The hypothesis will primarily be‚ which base chemical will produce the greatest change based on the additive. Experiment 6.1 (Starch) when adding the three drops of Iodine to each tube observe the color change. When performing this test the chemical

This lab tests the process of germination with various pH levels. The pH level of something is its measure of acidity or how basic it is‚ solutions with a pH of less than 7 are said to be acidic‚ and solutions with a pH greater than 7 are said to be basic. The tap water that was used to water our beans had a pH of 6. In this lab‚ we studied the process of germination (the process by which a plant grows from a seed). Certain environmental factors can cause or stop a seed’s germination‚ and these factors

Testable Question: What will happen to different halide salts found in the body if various compounds are added to the halide? How will the halides react? Introduction: For this lab we tested 6 halide salts found in the body‚ and their reactivity when a compound is added. We tested the halides NaF‚ NaCl‚ KBr‚ KI‚ and two unknown halides. To find the reaction of the halide‚ we are adding drops of Ca(NO3)2‚ AgNO3‚ AgNO3 + Na2S2O3‚ and NaOCI + Starch to the halides. Each halide will be separated from
