Lab Report Acids and Alkalis: Chemistry of Neutralization and Salt Formation Introduction: An acid is a group of chemicals. Acids are positively charged ions‚ they are liquid and are solutions of pure compounds in water. If you want to know if something is an acid‚ you can test it by using litmus paper. Acids will turn litmus paper red‚ whilst alkalis will turn it blue. Alkalis are negatively charged ions and are usually solid. Aim: To find out how much of different acids is needed to neutralize

Acid Rain Lab #1 Chem. 1 20 February 2016 Concordia University Texas Angelina Luna angelinaluna97@yahoo.com Chem 1- Sect C Acid Rain Lab #1 Professor Koeck Abstract In this experiment our main objective was to create three gaseous oxides CO₂‚ SO₂ and NO₂ by using data that was collected using a pH sensor which was connected to a laptop with LoggerPro and Vernier. We created the gases by bubbling each gas into the water to create the three acidic solutions we were looking for. Once that

effects that acid rain has or does not have on seed growth and germination. The observation gathered from this experiment was that regular rain water that has a neutral pH is a better solution for seed growth. The seeds that were watered with the well water prospered more than the ones grown in the lemon juice solution. The results from this experiment were a little confusing‚ because in the first trial the seeds watered with well water germinated more than the seeds watered with the acid rain solution

Gram Staining Introduction Prokaryotes are a large group of organisms with no membrane bound organelles. They consist of two domains: Archaea and Bacteria. These organisms are only found in extreme environments such as volcanoes. Prokaryotes are still being researched and are a very diverse group. In this lab we focused on trying to identify if the bacteria found had a lot of peptidoglycan by gram staining. Testing this could be done by using a Petri dish full of agar and testing different bacteria

The acid-fast stain is performed on samples to demonstrate the characteristic of acid fastness in certain bacteria. Acid fastness is a characteristic that is shared by just a few organisms‚ so staining to determine if organisms possess this trait is useful in microbial identification schemes. The Ziehl-Neelsen method has endured as a reliable and effective way to demonstrate the acid-fast bacteria. Materials: 18-20 nutrient hour agar slant culture of Staphyloccus aureus 4 day old nutrient

well it started to lift the lid off the dish. The results from the Acid Rain (50% vinegar solution) did not allow any radish seeds to germinate. There were never signs of seed germination while observing the seeds over a three week period. In the petri dish labeled Acid Rain‚ 0 out of 10 seeds sprouted into plant growth as seen in Figure 5.2. The results from the effects of acid rain are compared on Figures 5.1 and 5.2.

and is a strong acid. Where comparing to the conductivity of distilled water to HCL would be evidently HCL. This is because distilled water doesn’t contain ions‚ hence no movement of electrons‚ furthermore no conductivity. However since we added sodium chloride‚ distilled water will have some conductivity but no where near the amount of HCL. Comparing to the conductivity of vinegar to HCL mostly relays on how acidic each other are. Since HCL is a strong acid and vinegar is a weak acid‚ this will impact

Stainin g What is Cellular Staining? Cell staining is a technique that can be used to better visualize cells and cell components under a microscope. By using different stains‚ one can preferentially stain certain cell components‚ such as a nucleus or a cell wall‚ or the entire cell. Most stains can be used on fixed‚ or non-living cells‚ while only some can be used on living cells; some stains can be used on either living is or non-living What Cellularcells. Staining? The most basic reason that cells
