Questions and Hypothesis: Seed germination‚ plant growth‚ and sprouting of leaves are affected by several factors: supply of nutrients‚ water‚ exposure to sunlight‚ and conditions of surroundings. Due to certain stimuli in the surroundings plant “hormones” cause plants to behave in ways that ensure the most efficient use of resources while preserving the most energy. One stimulus to consider‚ is the exposure of plants to sunlight; when plants are just sprouting and are underground‚ the sti

I.Purpose The purpose of this lab is to show how potential energy and kinetic energy is shown and transferred using a model rollercoaster. This lab also demonstrates the Law of Conservation of Energy. II.Introduction Potential and Kinetic energy have a very big relationship. The Law of Conservation of Energy states that “Energy cannot be destroyed or created‚ but can be transformed or transferred.” This lab will help demonstrate this law and show the conversion between Kinetic and Potential

McLean 1 Creating Acetylene Gas Introduction The purpose of the lab was to determine the ratio of air to acetylene results in complete combustion of acetylene gas. The balanced chemical equation for this experiment was C2H2(g) + O2(g) --> CO2(g)+ H2O(l). Complete combustion is the reaction of an element or compound with oxygen to produce the most common oxides and energy. Complete combustion occurs when the fuel and oxygen combine in exact proportions to completely burn the fuel

Separation of a Mixture Introduction: Mixtures are not unique to chemistry; you use and consume them on a daily basis. The beverages you drink each morning‚ the fuel you use in your automobile‚ and the ground you walk on are mixtures. Very few materials that you encounter are pure. Any material made up of two or more substances that are not chemically combined is a mixture. The isolation of pure components of a mixture requires the separation of one component from another.

anhydrous ether were added to a 3ml conical vial and gently stirred. The reaction vessel was taken off of the hot plate and allowed to cool. The benzophenone was then added to the reaction mixture while stirring vigorously. The conical vial was washed with anhydrous ether and transferred to the mixture. The reaction mixture is then transferred into a beaker and stored in a drawer after 15 minutes until next

One of the main learning experiences of this lab is to learn the importance of calibrating a sensor. In most cases‚ a sensor will not have an output that is exactly what you need. An example of this is a strain gage. A stain gage gives back a voltage‚ but with that given voltage a distance can be found. Introduction: In this experiment‚ the QNET-MECHKIT was used. This board has multiple compact sensors that can be used for experiments. For this lab we will be using the strain gage to find the

Nervous System lab was designed to measure reaction times by using a variety of tests that affect the heart rate. These tests were the startle‚ stroop‚ Valsalva maneuver‚ diving reflex‚ and a test of our choice. The test our group chose to measure the heart rate in response to doing a trust fall to anticipate the stress right before the fall. To begin this lab we chose a participant‚ and then hooked their finger up to the pulse transducer sensor. Using the chart 5 program on the lab computer the participant’s

volume and percentage weight etc. In laboratory‚ normally concentrations were expressed as molarity and normality. Molarity is the mole of material in 1000 mL (1 liter or 1 dm3) of solution‚ as shown as followed equation: Molarity (M) = M = n / V Stock solution is the solution with known concentration. When the solution was diluted‚ only the concentrations will change while the mole number is remain the same. Based on this principle‚ the concentration of dilute solution can be determined
