LAB ACTIVITY 1 MEASUREMENTS IN SCIENCE: MASS‚ VOLUME‚ AND DENSITY Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is find the density of two metals using their mass and volume. Introduction: The purpose of the experiment that was conducted was to measure and calculate the density of two different metals. Density is an important characteristic of a material. The density of an object shows how much mass is contained in the unit volume. To calculate the density of metals the experimenters had to find

Materials: 4 test tubes 2 small beakers A dozen filter paper disks Test tube rack Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) Potato extract Forceps Thermometer Hot plate Large beaker Ice cubes Graduated cylinder Stopwatch Procedure: Step 1 Place 10 mL of potato extract in a small beaker and check the temperature to ensure that it is at room temperature (20-25°C). Step 2 Using forceps dip a filter paper disk into the extract and

Tessa Landauer Chemistry 0340 Qualitative Analysis Shaopeng Zhang January 26‚ 2015 I submit this laboratory report as an original document. I assert that all ideas and discussion of data contained herein is my own work unless otherwise referenced. Tessa Landauer Abstract The goal of the experiment was to isolate and purify the unknown D liquid and solid by using its acidic and basic characteristics in a chemically active extraction then to identify the unknowns by analyzing the physical properties

one of the tests‚ so that data is lost. Specific errors include measuring the entire test tube from top to bottom instead of measuring the exact distance traveled by the filter paper‚ making the test results not plausible. The results of this lab proved several things. The results of the first test show that a higher enzyme concentration causes a faster rate of the substrate being broken down. This means that the effect of enzyme concentration on enzyme activity is a positive effect and speeds

The purpose of the lab is to identify the compound based on a constant composition by performing a serious of tests. The hydrate is solid crystals compound and appears to be dry: since an ionic compound (salt) is crystallized from an aqueous solution (water)‚ by heating the hydrate the water is released from ionic structure; therefore it is possible to measure the weight of the ionic compound and calculate its ratio to the liquid in the hydrate. The goal of the lab is to establish the identity

common notions of hot and cold. Objects of low temperature are cold‚ while various degrees of higher temperatures are referred to as warm or hot. When a heat transfer path between them is open‚ heat spontaneously flows from bodies of a higher temperature to bodies of lower temperature. The flow rate increases with the temperature difference‚ while no heat will be exchanged between bodies of the same temperature‚ which are then said to be in "thermal equilibrium".

Polypeptides‚ better known as proteins‚ carry out nearly all of a cell’s functions. A protein is made up of at least one or more amino acid polymers. The necessity of proteins for life is unequivocal‚ not only do they help to form the structures of cells but they act as enzymes in reactions of the body1. Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower the amount of activation energy needed in carrying out biochemical reactions1. Enzymes are responsible for almost every reaction that occurs in a cell

Heat of Neutralization: Lab Report In part A of this lab I determined the heat capacity of a calorimeter made out of two Styrofoam cups nesting together with a cardboard top containing a hole in the middle. First I placed 50 mL of water in the calorimeter‚ waited five minutes for the water to reach equilibrium‚ and used the computer’s temperature instrument to record the final temperature of the system. Next I heated 50 mL of water in a 250 mL beaker until the water reached 43.1 C (approximately
