The purpose of lab number thirteen was to examine the response of the daphnia to a chemical stimulant. Also examined was how human resting heart rates differed from the daphnia’s. Stimulants are any substances that raise the levels of activity in the body. Stimulants could be a number of things such as physical or chemical. Physical stimulus usually deal with something that affects the five senses such as sight‚ hearing these could be attributed to loud noises or too much light going into your eye

Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to investigate the reliability of the activity series of metals by testing in solution‚ confirming if the activity series was correct with its predictions. Hypothesis: It is predicted that the metals in solid form will displace metals in solution if located higher over the other within the activity series chart. Materials: 10 test tubes Test tube holder Metals in Solid Form 1. Aluminum 2. Iron 3. Zinc 4. Magnesium 5. Zinc 6. Aluminum 7. Copper

Week 10: Oxidation and Reduction Reactions: The Reactions of Copper Data: Part I: Preparing a solution of copper (II) nitrate Initial mass of copper wire: .520g Mass of copper wire after vigorously scouring: .518g Observations of Copper (II) ribbon mixed with HNO3: Solution turned green. Thick brown gas formed. Copper (II) bubbled vigorously. Cu (II) dissolved‚ solution appeared green/blue. After the addition of H2O a blue crusty precipitate formed. Part II: Synthesis of solid copper

Chemistry Practical: Activity Series of Metals Introduction: The chemical activity of a metal is directly related to its practical use. In this investigation you will investigate the chemical activity of metals with oxygen‚ water‚ acid and alkali‚ to rank metals in order of their activity. Aim: To observe the reactivity of metals in order to determine the activity series of metals. Risk Assessment: In this investigation‚ hydrochloric acid solution is used which is toxic by all routes of

Catalytic reduction of hexacynoferrate (III) The silver nanoparticles were used in the catalytic electron transfer reaction between hexacyanoferrate (III) and sodium borohydride‚ resulting in the formation of hexacyanoferrate (II) ions and dihydrogen borate ions. The redox reaction is depicted as: [BH4] - + 8[Fe (CN) 6] -3 + 3H2O H2BO3 - + 8[Fe (CN) 6] -4+ 8H+ The reaction can even proceed without a catalyst‚ but it has been reported that it is a slow reaction‚ which follows zero-order

Name: Date of experiment: 04/02/12 Date of report: 04/03/12 Title: Oxidation – Reduction Activity Series Purpose: To determine relative oxidizing and reducing strengths of a series of metals and ions. Oxidation and reduction reaction occur simultaneously side by side. A reduction reaction occurs only if an oxidation reaction occurs and vise-versa. Electrons are given in oxidation while in reduction electrons are gained. Oxidizing agent is a chemical substance which has a large tendency to

Locomotor activity The Locomotor activity (Pákáski and Kálmán‚ 2008) refers to the movement of spontaneous locomotor and exploratory activity in rodents. LMA is a simple performed measurement of behavior to detect the effects of drugs‚ genetic manipulation‚ etc.‚ on motor function by measuring horizontal‚ vertical and stereotyped behavior in rodents. Several measures of locomotor activity in rats‚ including the distance covered‚ movement time and speed of progression. This test is sensitive to

LAB: Substrate Concentration Affecting the Rate of Enzyme Activity: Through the Experiment of Beef Liver Puree and Hydrogen Peroxide Research Question Does different amount of substrate affect the rate of enzyme activities? Purpose To examine how different types of concentration (Hydrogen Peroxide) affect the rate of enzyme activity. Hypothesis We believe that if there is more substrate concentrated‚ then there will be an increase in the rate of enzyme activity. This is because
