Lab Report 1 Introduction: Proper chemical formulas entitle many challenges such as the Law of Multiple proportions that states that there may be more than one plausible mole ratio for the elements in that compound. However if we determine the mass of each element in the compound we will be able to get the true chemical formula. In this experiment‚ we used the law of definite proportions to find the chemical formula for a hydrated compound containing copper‚ chlorine‚ and water molecules

Joe Schmoe Period 3 March 8‚ 2013 Lab Report: Empirical Formula of Zinc Chloride (ZnCl) * Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to learn how to determine the empirical formula. Empirical means “based on experimental evidence.” * Experimental Design The reaction that occurred was the reaction of the elements Zinc (Zn) and Chloride (Cl) by mixing a piece(s) of Zinc and 50mL of Hydrochloric Acid (HCl). The amount of Zinc was determined to be between 1.00g and 1.25g. As the reaction

Lab Report 1: Natural Selection Introduction: In today’s lab we learned how natural selection and survival of the fitness took place in Darwin theory by testing it out with four different utensils which were Spoon‚ Fork‚ chopstick‚ and clothespin which represent the four different types of bird beaks. Our goal was to see which one utensil ( bird beak) would outcome the other four utensil ( bird beak) by being able to survive with the limit amount of food‚ the environmental chances‚ and see who

Determining the habitat preference of Artemia franciscana by creating artificial gradients of three abiotic factors: light‚ pH‚ and temperature Introduction In the study of ecology‚ species are often described as generalists if they live in broad environmental conditions or specialists if they live in narrow or specific environmental conditions (Reece et al. 2011). Artemia franciscana‚ the organism under study‚ is a well known generalist that has adapted it’s reproductive strategy to allow

Unknown Lab Report April 25th‚ 2006 Introduction The purpose of this lab was to identify two unknown bacteria cultures using various differential tests. The identification of these unknown cultures was accomplished by separating and differentiating possible bacteria based on specific biochemical characteristics. Whether the tests performed identified specific enzymatic reactions or metabolic pathways‚ each was used in a way to help recognize those specifics and identify the unknown cultures

supported that invertase is most active at a pH level of 5‚ which supports the hypothesis that lower acidic pH values similar to the ones found in the stomach‚ will have the largest increase in invertase activity. A semilinear decrease in rate was found as the pH level was lowered below 5‚ and a substantial decrease found in any environments with a pH higher than 5. The stomach average pH level‚ being between 1.5-3.5‚ directly correlates to the most efficient pH levels for invertase activity‚ perhaps supporting

does the rate change with varying degrees of temperature and light exposure? To test this algae beads were exposed to a CO2 indicator‚ which changes colors based on the level CO2 level present. The algae beads were exposed to two different variables‚ light and temperature and tested for color change‚ Ph‚ level‚ and CO2 absorbance level. The beads were exposed to a light and a dark condition‚ and another set was exposed to ice and a warm water bath. It was found that the rate of change of CO2 decreased

Introduction: Catalase is an enzyme‚ which is present in all life forms that utilize oxygen for their biological processes. Enzymes are proteins which increase the rate of reaction by decreasing the activation energy (the energy required to initiate a reaction). One of the main function of Catalase is to prevent the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the body by breaking it down into water and oxygen gas. Hydrogen peroxide is a toxic by-product of metabolic reactions. If hydrogen peroxide
