Calorimetry Lab Problem: Which foods have the most calories? Hypothesis: If we burn the food then the heating released will be measured as calories because the energy stored inside is released as heat and light. Parts of the experiment Control Group-water Experimental Group- different foods Independent variable- Type of food Dependent Variable- temperature of water Controlled variables- water temperature of unheated water Materials Stirring Rod‚ Beaker‚ ring clamp‚ evaporating disk‚

Lab Report Problem: What method would consistently test the foam and ensure it has the correct density? Background: There are words that need to be understood before executing the experiment. The first thing you need to know is density. Density is a measure of mass per unit of volume. The reason for testing density of doors because doors must contain a density of 14.34lbs per ft3 of foam‚ or it will collapse if the density is too high. If the density is too low‚ it won’t allow for normal expansion

Post-Lab Questions 1. Using the information provided in the Introduction and your observations from Part 1‚ hypothesize as to the type of electrolyte the following solutions would be. Justify the hypothesis from a chemical standpoint. a. Aqueous Sodium Hydroxide—NaOH (aq) is a very strong base‚ which will completely disassociate into Na+ and OH- ions‚ which would make it a very strong electrolyte. Chemical reaction of the disassociation of Sodium Hydroxide: NaOH (aq)Na+ (aq)+ OH-(aq)

Lab Report: Toothpickase and Enzymes September 19‚ 2012 Olivia DePhillips Lab Partner: Joy Morgan Meyers Signature: Introduction Enzymes are biological molecules that catalyze chemical reactions. In enzymatic reactions‚ the molecules at the beginning of the process‚ called substrates‚ are converted into different molecules‚ called products. Almost all chemical reactions in a biological cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates sufficient for life. Like all catalysts‚ enzymes work

Lab‚ Week # 1 BALANCE LAB Introduction The purpose of this lab is to learn how to utilize two different balances to find the mass of different chemicals in the ChemLab program. A balance is an instrument used to determine the mass of a chemical. To accomplish this we use direct weighing and weighing by difference on both the centigram and electronic balances. Equipment 1 Centigram Balances 1 Electronic Balance 1 100ml Beakers 5 Copper Slugs 2 Unknown Weights (Label # 1‚ # 2)

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 investigation on the average mass of DNA with the mass of banana‚ strawberry and kiwi. Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to investigate the comparison between the amount of DNA per gram of fruit that can be extracted from a banana‚ strawberry and kiwi and to determine which one has more DNA. Hypothesis: The banana genome contains 837 MBPs and the strawberry genome contains 206 MBPs and the kiwi genome contains 128 MBPs. This states that there are more base pairs in a banana genome
