Oxidation of Cyclohexanol Introduction: The oxidation of cyclohexanol involves using household bleach to oxidize this secondary alcohol and produce a ketone product‚ cyclohexanone. Oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions occur when the oxidation state of atoms change due to a transfer of electrons. Oxidation occurs when electrons are ‘lost’ to the formation of bonds and reduction occurs when electrons are ‘gained’ in the braking of bonds (Levine). Using this reaction and its product‚ a redox experiment

Introduction The purpose of this laboratory was to first test the effect that increasing water content would have on the workability of fresh concrete‚ completed by way of a slump test. The second part of the laboratory was to check what the influence of a superplasticiser would have on workability of fresh concrete‚ this was completed by completion of a Vebe test. 2.

percentage of sugar will produce more fermentation. The original purpose of this experiment was to determine the amount of fermentation of 3 different fruit juices after adding a certain amount of yeast. By measuring the type of fruit juice (independent variable) the amount of fermentation as shown by the reduction of sugar (dependent variable).My hypothesis my hypothesis is that the fruit juice with a higher percentage of sugar will produce more fermentation. The experimental results supported my

Timothy Johns Christian Howard Wan Huang 10/18/12 Flame Test Lab Introduction Spectroscopy is the study of the electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by atoms and molecules. These studies are very helpful in determining an unknown element‚ given the fact that all elements burn a different color. The flame colors vary because of the different amounts of energy the elements give off. This lab is made for the learner to determine the identity of two unknown elements. Hypothesis If

1. Introduction The Jominy end-quench test is a technique that has the ability to harden the steel by quenching. It is an essential feature of materials that determine the material’s selection for particular applications. The different types of steels and alloys that are used for hardening in an industry are done by this test and considering that this test is a standardised experiment [1]. 1.1 Aim The specimens that are used in this test are normalized in accordance with the standards. The purpose

Design: Investigation of Fermentation Introduction Introduction Yeast (Saccharomyces)is a single-celled microorganism in the Fungi family. It anaerobically respires sugars to produce ATP‚ as well as the waste products ethanol and carbon dioxide gas. This process is known as fermentation. There are various factors that affect the rate at which yeast respires. Aim To investigate the effect of concentration of table salt (sodium chloride) on the rate of fermentation of sucrose using yeast‚ measured

looking at the chemical structures of these sugars given in (Figure 1)‚ we looked for anything that might determine the metabolization of these sugars. An equal 6mL (milliliter) sample of 2.5% fructose and yeast suspension was pipetted into a fermentation tube. The same procedure above was performed with the sugar ribose which has a concentration of 2.5% as well. Once this was done‚ the tubes were turned upside down to remove any air bubbles formed. Both tubes were then incubated in a 37◦ C

There are more than one forms of fermentation; yeast fermentation is probably the most common method. This process is used in many everyday products today. Yeast was first discovered in 1676‚ but was used before. It has also led to numerous scientific advances. Yeast expands‚ especially well with a good amount of sugar‚ the more of the amount the greater it expands. Yeast is a single-celled organism‚ a fungus to be more specific. They consume carbohydrates‚ mainly sugars‚ and produce carbon dioxide
