through a column using a non-polar solvent‚ hexane. The polar absorbent material in the column separated the different pigments by allowing the least polar molecules to travel through the column faster than the more polar molecules. The different pigment layers were collected‚ dried‚ and their weights were recorded. ß-carotene was the least polar molecule‚ and it traveled through the column faster than the chlorophylls. Chlorophyll-A was next to travel through the column followed by chlorophyll-B. Because

Organic Chemistry II Lab 9 Fermentation of a Carbohydrate: Ethanol from Sucrose * Introduction Ethanol is one of the oldest alcohols and also the least toxic one. Industrially‚ ethanol is made most economically by hydration of ethylene. However‚ ethanol that is intended for human consumption must‚ by law‚ be prepared by fermentation. By either method‚ ethanol‚ of course‚ has the same formula‚ structure‚ and properties. The fermentation takes place with the assistance of enzymes from yeast

A molecule is a group of atoms bonded together that represent the smallest unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction. (http://www.dictionary.com) In kitchen chemistry today‚ there are many types of food molecules such as minerals‚ vitamins‚ fiber‚ and water. But there are four molecules that people refer to as food‚ also known as the four basic food molecules‚ which can be used to produce energy which are carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ and alcohol which is not considered

This experiment had four parts to it‚ where you had to find out if the food you picked contained starch‚sugar‚lipids and protein.The food item that was chosen to decipher was a Big Mac and you chose what from the burger you wanted to test to see what it was made of‚ example like the bun of the burger. When testing you would have one test tube of water with food and the other test tube with the solution needed and food.The reason for the test tube with the water is because it was the indicator. If

Abundant elements in the world such as carbon and nitrogen bond in different ways to form many different molecules. The functional groups are what determine their characteristics. During the experiment‚ there will be 3 test. The iodine test is completed to test for starch and glycogen. When iodine is mixed with a solution that contains starch‚ the amylose

a. SATURATED FATS FROM NONSATURATED FATS An unsaturated fat is a fat or fatty acid in which there is at least one double bond within the fatty acid chain. A fat molecule is monounsaturated if it contains one double bond‚ and polyunsaturated if it contains more than one double bond. Where double bonds are formed‚ hydrogen atoms are eliminated. Thus‚ asaturated fat has no double bonds‚ has the maximum number of hydrogens bonded to the carbons‚ and therefore is "saturated" with hydrogen atoms. In cellularmetabolism

By his mid-20s Alberto Villoldo was the youngest clinical professor at San Francisco State University. He was directing his own laboratory‚ the Biological Self-Regulation Lab‚ investigating how energy medicine and visualization could change the chemistry of the brain. One day in his laboratory‚ Alberto realized that his research had to get bigger instead of smaller‚ that he was looking out of the wrong end of the microscope. He needed to find a system larger than the neural networks of the brain

INTRODUCTION: An enzyme is a substance that in most situations‚ is a catalyst‚ which increases the rate of reaction by contributing alternative reaction pathways of lower activation energy. Enzymes are able to do this by binding to reactant molecules and allowing them to cooperate in a more energy efficient way. If catalyzed by the appropriate enzyme‚ reactions that would take an extreme amount of time would rather occur in fractions of a second. First‚ enzymes increase the rate at which chemical
