When Chemicals React! Mr. Bell’s honors level chemistry class conducted an experiment during their lab demonstrations‚ this consisted of elements such as phosphorus and calcium chloride in their experiment. This along with another hydrogen based sunstance produced‚ what looked like a pinkish-looking substance inside of their flasks that were at their lab stations. Sophmore Kelly Caudel said‚ “ I actualley enjoy doing the experiments in this class‚ because it gives us a chance to get away from

Lab Report: Understanding Photosynthesis Gen Biology Lab Abstract: This lab was called photosynthesis: understanding photosynthesis. It is a highly complex process that needs to be broken down in many steps to understand how it works. This lab covers the big components in photosynthesis including carbon dioxide intake‚ light consumption‚ and varying pigmentation. Introduction: Photosynthesis is a huge concept to learn and understand in the field of biology. Plants have their own special

Abstract: The Enzyme Lab results where when the liver was frozen‚ its reaction was fast‚ and when it was hot‚ it was slow‚ and the liver that was at room temperature reacted slowly to medium. Introduction: The Enzyme Lab is to conduct investigations to determine the most favorable conditions for the most efficient enzyme activity. Variables to be used testing include temperature‚ pH values and surface area. Enzymes are proteins that speed up the rate of chemical reactions‚ which would otherwise

Experiment Four: Organic Synthesis of Aspirin Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize a common organic product called acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin)‚ and to become familiar with the optimum conditions needed for successful yields. Aspirin is produced from an acid catalyzed reaction between salicylic acid with acetic anhydride. The crystalline aspirin is synthesized and purified by recrystallization‚ although there is not a hundred percent yield due to sources of error. Introduction

IONIC COMPOUNDS In chemistry‚ an ionic compound is a chemical compound in which ions are held together in a lattice structure by ionic bonds. Usually‚ the positively charged portion consists of metal cations and the negatively charged portion is an anion or polyatomic ion. Ions in ionic compounds are held together by the electrostatic forcesbetween oppositely charged bodies. Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points‚ and they are hard and very brittle. Ions can be single atoms‚ as the sodium and chlorine in

IB Chemistry Experiment 4 Composition of a Post-1983 Penny Lab Report Background: Through the use of percent composition one can easily find out how much of a certain element is in a compound or an item such as a post-1983 penny. The experiment will be using HCl a strong acid to dissolve all the zinc inside the outer copper shell. The reaction follows as such; Zn+2HCLZnCl2+H2‚ but there will be no reaction with copper. The portion that will be measured is the mass of copper left after all of

Under reflux conditions‚ a bromohexane compound is synthesized from 1-hexene and HBr(aq). The desired product‚ 2-bromohexane‚ is analyzed to see if it is produced according to Markovnikov’s rule‚ which states that when an alkene reacts with a hydrogen halide (HBr) to form an alkyl halide‚ the H+ is added to the carbon with a greater number of hydrogen substituents to form a more stable carbocation and the halogen (Br-) is added to the carbon with fewer hydrogen substituents. A heterogeneous mixture

Maria Ruiz Feb.7‚ 2012 Bio. Report Problem: Dows light intensity and wavelength affect Photosynthesis? Introduction: Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct. It produces sugar and other organic compounds such as lipids and proteins. The sugars are then used to provide
