The acid-fast stain is performed on samples to demonstrate the characteristic of acid fastness in certain bacteria. Acid fastness is a characteristic that is shared by just a few organisms‚ so staining to determine if organisms possess this trait is useful in microbial identification schemes. The Ziehl-Neelsen method has endured as a reliable and effective way to demonstrate the acid-fast bacteria. Materials: 18-20 nutrient hour agar slant culture of Staphyloccus aureus 4 day old nutrient

necessary reaction schemes. The reaction schemes should include molecular weights and any other important physical data for the reagents and products. Ex. Cyclohexanol was oxidized to cyclohexanone using sodium dichromate in the presence of sulfuric acid. * Note: you can download a free version of a structure editor from ACD labs‚ the PC version is called chemsketch‚ the Mac version is called marvinsketch. You should learn how to draw structures using these programs. Lab reports should look professional

What are trans fatty acids‚ and where do they come from? We’re used to hearing about saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids - which come from animal fats (meat‚ lard‚ dairy products) as well as tropical oils such as coconut and palm oils - raise the levels of LDL cholesterol. Unsaturated fats - which come from vegetable oils - in general‚ do not increase cholesterol levels‚ and may reduce them. Because saturated fatty acids were found to be bad for you a couple decades ago

How Much Sodium Bicarbonate Is In the Mixture? Lab Investigation 14 Chemistry 113 Lab 10/13/2011 1) Method 1: Adding acid NaHCO3 + HCl → NaCl + CO2 + H2O a) Unknown mixture of NaCl and NaHCO3 Mass of unknown mixture (NaCl + NaHCO3) | 3 g | Mass of HCl | 30 .31g | Mass of products ( NaCl + H2O ) | 26.98 g | Calculate mass of CO2 | 6.33g | Calculate mass of NaHCO3 | 12 .1 g | i) Calculation : Mass of CO2 = [Mass of unknown mixture (NaCl + NaHCO3) + Mass of HCl ] – [Mass of NaCl

Acid Rains There are three gases which could cause acid rain‚ which are Sulphur Dioxide (sulphuric acid)‚ NOx (oxides of nitrogen which produce nitric acid) and also perhaps Carbon Dioxide (weak carbonic acid)‚ produces these acids because these gases dissolve in rain water/ precipitation and this forms a weak version of the acid‚ as the gases dissolve it lowers the pH of the rainwater. I think that there has been a increase in the production of acid rain‚ due to the fact that the country as a

October 9‚ 2013 Partner(s): Acetylsalicylic Acid Synthesis Theory. This experiment was carried out to see how the hydroxyl group on the benzene ring in salicylic acid reacts with acetic anhydride to form an ester‚ and to make aspirin. Synthesis of Acetylsalicylic Acid occurs by protonation of carbonyl (C=O) group‚ and a nucleophilic attack of OH on the acetic anhydride. The ferric chloride test and melting point were used to test the purity of the results. A hypothesized recovery rater of above

be used as intermediates to produce other functional groups (e.g.‚ amines‚ esters‚ and alkenes). Alkyl halides have the general formula RX (where R= alkyl/substituted alkyl group and X = F‚ Cl‚ Br‚ or I.) They are insoluble in water and sulfuric acid and are soluble in organic solvents.[3] They are synthesized for their many uses. There are several ways by which alkyl halides can be synthesized. Some of those are halogenation of alkanes with Cl2 or Br2‚ addition of HX to

is a strong acid and therefore almost completely disassociates into H+ and CL-. Therefore‚ when HCl is used in a titration‚ the H+ is the titrant. Carbonate in aqueous solution is able to accept a proton‚ i.e. it acts as a base. When carbonate accepts the H+ a bicarbonate ion is formed. Na2CO3(aq) + HCl(aq) NaHCO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) This is not the complete reaction for the titration because bicarbonate is able to accept one more proton. This reaction produces carbonic acid which decomposes
