The Chromatography of Food Dyes and determination Of the Dyes Present in M&M Candies Procedure To complete this lab‚ I first mixed the solvent solution consisting of the proper ratio of water‚ salt‚ and isopropyl alcohol in a Pyrex measuring cup. I then prepared my chromatography papers for 2 trials by drawing‚ with a pencil‚ the appropriate lines and labels. Using a toothpick‚ I added the color to the paper‚ and then repeated until the color was strong. I repeated this step several more

Experiment 1 Cyanobacteria Oxygen Production Through Photosynthesis Date Performed: September 2‚ 2014 I. Introduction a. Background Cyanobacteria or blue green algae are renowned for their tolerability and susceptibility even in wide range of environmental conditions‚ a characteristic of many primitive organisms. CNB are believed to be the agents of autotrophic origin of life thus they probably represent the survivors of the earliest photosynthetic plants‚ along with photosynthetic and chemosynthetic

Evelyn Ramos CHEM LAB 201-003 Professor Ruddock Experiment #4 - Chemical Reactions Performed: 3/6/13 DUE: 3/13/13 Pre Lab Questions: 1. Before you can write a chemical equation‚ what must you know? You have to know what the products and reactants are. 2. What observations might you make that suggest that a chemical reaction has occurred? If a gas is produced or precipitates are formed that indicates chemical reaction. Also‚ if color changes occur or

Derricka Joe Period 5 1 Oct.‚ 2014 Lab Experiment One: Physical Properties Lab Analysis: For our first unknown‚ we observed the color and odor of the substance. The substance was a clumpy‚ white‚ crystal-like substance and it smells like new plastic. When we tested the solubility in water it resulted insoluble and in ethanol it resulted soluble. This substance could not be tested for electrical conductivity because the water was insoluble. We then tested for the PH value and it was neutral. The

The Thickness of Aluminum Foil Lab In the study of Chemistry‚ we encounter very large and very small numbers. For example‚ the size of a molecule or thin layer of molecules is very‚ very small and difficult to measure directly. In order to “measure” such numbers‚ we often use one measured quantity and another known property to calculate the unknown value. In this experiment‚ we will use this approach to calculate the thickness of various types of aluminum foil‚ a quantity whose direct experimental

Edward Dickson CHE101 DS-01 Experiment Date 7/21/2013 Report Submitted 7/21/2013 Title: Experiment #8: Ionic Reactions Purpose: In this lab we will work with aqueous solutions of ionic substances and determine if they are soluble. If the solution appears milky than it is known as a precipitate reaction‚ meaning it is soluble‚ and that the ions separated and became surrounded by water. Precipitates in this experiment are electrically uncharged. To identify which compounds are

Experiment 1: The Effects of Coal Mining Coal mining‚ particularly surface mining‚ leads to large areas of land being temporarily disturbed. The mine workings collect and conduct water that is in contact with the widespread pyrite‚ a mineral that produces iron and sulfuric acid when exposed to air and water. In this lab‚ you will see first-hand the reasons why mine drainage can be harmful to the local drainage system if left untreated. Materials: (3) 100 mL Beakers 1 tsp. Crushed pyrite 1 tsp. Activated

An Experiment of Adaptation Introduction: Throughout history of time‚ organisms change in relation to their environment‚ consequently‚ adaptation is an essential property of life. This experiment is designed to test the adaptation of Drosophila melanogaster. This kind of insect is also called fruit flies‚ it has been widely used in scientific research because it has a short life cycle about two weeks and it is easy to keep large numbers of them (Manning). Two groups of this species will be used
