high as it could have been. Achieving an efficiency that is as high as possible is important to maximise the amount of energy transferred into the water (or alternate substance which the temperature difference is being measured)‚ meaning that less heat escapes. While the hood worked well‚ there are several ways it could be improved. Firstly‚ would be to have the bottom of the hood lower down‚ so it completely covered the top of the shrowd meaning more of the hot air which rises will be pushed up

the propanone had evaporated leaving behind crystals of pure paracetamol. Next you need to heat the crude paracetamol in a Thiele tube by filling the tube up with paraffin oil to the point where it just covers the entrance to the elbow tube. Then collect the paracetamol in a capillary tube and attach this to a thermometer using an elastic band. Keep an eye on your elastic band as it can snap under the heat. We made sure that the Thiele tube was filled to the accurate point and the capillary tube

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 &

during the lab session Procedure Part A This lab was performed by the group members as they closed both low and high flow rotameters (Fig-2) and filled the tank with water. Then‚ the large rotameter was opened when the water in the tank had reached the internal baffle‚ so the flow from the tank was reduced by doing so. One member was in charge of adjusting the level of the water so it was always maintained over the baffle’s level during the lab (Fig-1). The first part of the lab was done

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

CO2 Lab Report Intro Alka-Seltzer tablets are used to treat cold/flu symptoms as it produces CO2 when dissolved in water. The goal of this lab is to calculate the amount of NaHCO3 is needed to produce enough CO2 gas to fill the room. Experimental One Alka-Seltzer tablet was weighed on the analytical balance. Then a piece was measured out to be between 0.21 and 0.28 grams. 500mL of distilled water was added to a 600mL beaker. 80mL of water was mixed with 20mL of 6M HCl in a 150mL beaker. A

BIOLOGY LAB REPORT (UNIT 7: ENZYMES) GENERAL Enzymes are protein that acts as catalyst‚ lowering the activation energy need for reactions to progress in cells. The reaction can still occur without the presence of the enzyme‚ but at a much slower rate. The activation energy is the minimum amount of energy need for a chemical reaction to occur‚ yielding from a given set of reactants. In enzymatic reactions‚ we have substrates which are reactants of reaction bound to an enzyme. While an active site

Place 5 ml of catalase at 100 units/ml in each 4 test tubes. Place 1 test tube in each of the water baths 3. Place 40 ml 1% H2O2 in each 4 vials. Measure and record the depth of the H2O2.Place 1 vial in the 0°C bath and leave 3 at room temperature. This is necessary because heat will destroy the hydrogen peroxide. 4. Allow the catalase and substrate to incubate at each temperature for about 5 minutes‚ then test the reaction time at each temperature by dipping a filter into enzyme at the temperature‚ draining it‚ and then dropping it into substrate at the same temp
