Polymerase chain reaction The Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a biochemical technology in molecular biology to amplify a single or a few copies of a piece of DNA across several orders of magnitude‚ generating thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence. Developed in 1983 by Kary Mullis‚ PCR is now a common and often indispensable technique used in medical and biological research labs for a variety of applications. These include DNA cloning for sequencing‚ DNA-based phylogeny

Forensic Science Level 3 Assignment 2 Unit 2 Lisa Ashton Unit 2 Task 12 Investigating a crime scene. When investigating a crime scene before touching anything investigators must document and photograph everything‚ investigate all doors‚ windows‚ ect of any evidence of how offender got in and out of the crime scene‚ investigate every inch of the crime scene for blood‚ fingerprints‚ footprints‚ weapons‚ bullet holes‚ shell casings etc. and anything that looks out of place

DATE PERFORMED: JULY 20‚ 2007 SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT FOR A REACTION ABSTRACT UV-VIS spectrophotometry is one of the most widely-used methods for determining and identifying many inorganic species. During this experiment‚ this spectrophotometry was used to determine the equilibrium constant‚ Keq‚ of the Fe3+(aq)+SCN-(aq)↔ FeSCN2+(aq) reaction. By determining the amount of light absorbed‚ the concentration of the colored FeSCN2+ solution was also quantitatively

Class X Question 1: Chapter 1 – Chemical Reactions and Equations Science Why should a magnesium ribbon be cleaned before burning in air? Answer Magnesium is very reactive metal. When stored it reacts with oxygen to form a layer magnesium oxide on its surface. This layer of magnesium oxide is quite stable and prevents further reaction of magnesium with oxygen. The magnesium ribbon is cleaned by sand paper to remove this layer so that the underlying metal can be exposed into air. Question

2.6 Kinetic studies of prepared complexes The integral method of Coats–Redfern equation[19‚21‚27‚38] was used for determining the kinetic parameters of the decompositions process for the investigated metal complexes according to following equation: log[log(w_∞/(w_∞-w))⁄T^2 ]〖=log[AR/〖∅E〗^* (1-2RT⁄E^≠ )]〗-E^≠/2.303R 1/T (4) Where w_∞ is the mass loss at the accomplishment of the decomposition reaction‚ w is the mass loss at temperature T‚ ∅ is the rate of heating and R is

HOW ARE REDOX REACTIONS DIFFERENT? Redox is the term used to label reactions in which the acceptance of an electron (reduction) by a material is matched with the donation of an electron (oxidation). A large number of the reactions already mentioned in the Reactions chapter are redox reactions. Synthesis reactions are also redox reactions if there is an exchange of electrons to make an ionic bond. If chlorine gas is added to sodium metal to make sodium chloride‚ the sodium has donated an electron

Erin Bolton Chemistry Lab Report April 29‚ 2015 Lab: Reaction Rates Introduction: In this experiment we studied the reaction of potassium persulfate‚ K2S2O8‚ with potassium iodide‚ KI. All chemical reactions have an energy barrier to overcome before the reaction will proceed. We will record data based on the concentration‚ temperature and catalyst for each experiment. Once this has been completed it will be graphed. Procedure: Due to the chemicals being used having hazard gloves are used

Chemical reactions are a part of everyday lives. Whether it is the burning of propane at a kitchen stove‚ or washing detergent reacting with dirt stains‚ chemical reactions are useful tools that have widespread applications. With so many reactions assisting our everyday activities‚ it is important that ways to optimise reaction rates are investigated. “Reaction rate‚ the speed at which a chemical reaction proceeds… may be defined in terms of the amounts of the reactants consumed or products formed
