(a) Define the term equilibrium potential and use the Nernst equation (see Appendix) to show how the equilibrium potentials for both sodium and potassium are calculated. Equilibrium potential is the potential of the membrane when there is no net flow of ions from one gradient to the other gradient. The ions are equal and are opposite of each other but not moving from one side to the other. Sodium: Ena=2.303((8.31 J m-1 K-1)(310K))/((1(= 9.65 x 104 c m-1))(log(150/15))= 61.54 mV Ek=2.303((8

February 25‚ 2013 Lab: Equilibrium of Forces Purpose/Objective: The objective of this lab was to test the first condition of equilibrium for a set of concurrent coplanar forces‚ prove Lami’s Theorem‚ and to determine an unknown mass using rules of equilibrium. Procedure: In the lab‚ we wanted to find at what angles three separate weights would create a net zero force on a force table so that the ring holding the weights was exactly centered in the middle

The Equilibrium Constant of an Ester Hydrolysis Reaction Jesus Flores March 30th‚ 2015 Abstract: This experiment was conducted in order to discover the Kc‚ equilibrium constant‚ of a hydrolysis reaction of an unknown ester #2‚ unknown acid‚ and alcohol #2 products. The first week consisted of creating the reaction mixtures in bottles‚ next was preparing a NaOH solution while neutralizing with KHP. The final week consisted of titrating the bottles with the NaOH solution prepared previously

Experiment 19 - Determination of the equilibrium constant for the reaction Fe3+ (aq) + SCN( (aq) = FeSCN2+ (aq) Object: To determine the equilibrium constant by a colorimetric method Theory: Colorimetric methods of analysis are usually applied to the determination of small concentrations of either inorganic or organic materials in a solution. The constituent sought must be coloured or must be capable of reacting with a reagent to produce a substance having a suitable colour. Beers Law‚ which

Through a series of labs‚ we were able to extract and isolate our mitochondrial DNA‚ nuclear DNA‚ and cellular DNA to then amplify a part of an intron in the tissue plasminogen activator gene (TPA) through Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and run on an agarose gel to detect the presence or absence of a transposable element known as an Alu element. The main purpose of this experiment was to use our class as a population‚ to test whether or not we were in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium. The Hardy Weinberg

Purpose. The purpose of this lab was to understand equilibrium. To do this‚ you must find the equilibrant of the resultant of three vectors‚ both mathematically and graphically and test the results. Procedure: A) Put the weights necessary for each of the vector forces on each hook. B) Set the wheels of the force table at the proper angles‚ including the calculated equilibrant. C) When placing the hooks on the wheels‚ be careful to hold the table in place so it does not flip over. D) To test

Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium One of the most difficult concepts to understand about the process of evolution is how changes in the genetic composition of a population affect the phenotypic composition of a population‚ and how both ultimately act to allow evolution of the species. Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution emphasizes that populations‚ not individuals‚ evolve. The purpose of my experiment was to test the allele and genotype frequencies. Alleles for a gene are represented by letters of

The Equilibrium Constant of an Ester Hydrolysis Reaction Julia Stanley CHM 152 LL Dr. Asmita Kane Budruk Goal of the lab: The purpose of this laboratory is to determine the equilibrium constant‚ Kc‚ for the acid-catalyzed reaction between an unknown ester and water to produce an unknown alcohol and an unknown carboxylic acid. I was using Unknown Ester #3 with a density of 0.9342 and Molar Mass of 74.08 g/mol; alcohol with density 0.7914 and Molar Mass 32.04 g/mol. Chemical
