In this lab we are going to be observing the decomposition of piglets over a month’s time. There are theory questions that have been given to us before and after the lab. We look back at our original theory to see where we went wrong‚ and then correct it. The lab was disgusting‚ surprising‚ and very interesting. The first questioned to be answered is which piglet decomposes faster‚ a piglet that is in its natural state‚ that is burnt‚ that is buried‚ and that is buried in a wooden box? With

Introduction Chemical kinetics is the study of reaction rates. A reaction rate is the speed of the change in either reactants or products over a period of time. General kinetic rate equation is: Where [A] and [B] are the concentration of the species in the reaction. The variable k is the rate constant‚ which is a function of time and catalyst presence. The variables m and n are the order of reaction for their respective species concentration. The higher the value of the reaction order the

Briefing Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) is an extremely valuable analytical technique. It provides a rapid separation of compounds‚ and gives an indication of the number and nature of the components of a mixture. TLC can also be used to identify compounds by comparison with known samples‚ to check the purity of a compound‚ or to monitor the progress of a reaction‚ an extraction‚ or a purification procedure. This experiment will introduce you to the mechanics of TLC‚ and the chemical principles

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

University of Texas at Tyler Lab 3C: Purification of L-Lactate Dehydrogenase By Affinity Chromatography on Cibacron-Blue Sepharose David Alexander 10-15-2014 Dr. Black Chem 4135.001 Abstract: Like the previous experiments‚ the ultimate goal of this lab was to purify the enzyme sample. However‚ this is the last lab for purification and high level techniques of purification were employed to achieve this. Dialysis was used first‚ lowering the small-molecule concentration within the sample. Finally

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

Then right down the calculations and disassemble the apparatus. Discussion My lab group and I completed this experiment doing two trials. We found that both trials were concluded with similar results. In trial 1 we found that the volume of

Title: Candy Chromatography Background Information and Research: Paper Chromatogrpahy is a analytical method that is used for seperating and identifying mixtures of color. There are two stages‚ the stationary phase and the mobile phase. The first is for a solid and the second for a liquid or gas. -Reference http://www.chemguide.co.uk/analysis/chromatography/paper.html Purpose: To see how paper chromatography works. Materials: · Candy with a colored coating‚ like Skittles® or M&Ms® (4 different

Title Identification of Analgesic Compounds Using Thin Layer Chromatography Abstract The objective of laboratory experiment six was to identify an unknown analgesic tablet using Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) analysis. The procedure involved preparing TLC plates‚ solubilizing standard analgesics (ibuprofen‚ aspirin‚ acetaminophen‚ caffeine) and the unknown in isopropyl alcohol (IPA)‚ and developing the plates in acetone. Rf values were calculated for each compound. The unknown tablet showed an Rf

The injected sample becomes vaporized and was carried through the mobile column. It is usually carried by an inert gas. The gases were moved through the stationary column. The polarity of the components to the column would cause the separation of the components
