Lab report: Viscosity of Liquids Introduction This experiment focuses on measurements of different trials of various concentrations. The collected data is used to compare and contrast to the ideal binary solutions and their components. The Ostwald viscometer is a useful laboratory equipment to measure the viscosities of many binary solutions. Background Molecules have the ability to slide around each other‚ result in a flow. Such a flow has a resistance called viscosity. Microscopically

This lead to life beginning in the ocean where scientists have traced back to an ancestral bryophyte (also known as freshwater green algae) that has‚ over time‚ developed a key process of making food by using the energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into by glucose and oxygen. The plant life history also involves the "alternations of generations" that allows a plant to undergo meiotic/mitotic phases between the sporophyte(diploid) and gametophyte(haploid) generation. In leaves‚

Department of Chemistry Extraction and Sublimation Experiment #4 10/02/13 Introduction Caffeine is a stimulant found in tea‚ coffee‚ cocoa‚ OTC medication‚ and cola drinks.It stimulates the brain and the central nervous system‚ so that a person feels less tired and more alert. The purpose of this lab is to determine the amount of caffeine in tea. The major component of tea is cellulose which is a polymer of glucose. Materials Lab coat Goggles Graduated cylinder 1 tea

added to the carbon with a greater number of hydrogen substituents to form a more stable carbocation and the halogen (Br-) is added to the carbon with fewer hydrogen substituents. A heterogeneous mixture of 0.5mL of 1-hexane‚ 2 mL of 48% aqueous hydrobromic acid‚ and 150 mg of tetrabutylammonium bromide is heated under reflux. The organic chemicals that are used are volatile and can evaporate and get lost; therefore we heat the reaction mixture

Determination of Florfenicol in Catfish by UV-mediated High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) 1. Introduction 1.1 Description of the Analyte Florfenicol (C12H14Cl2FNO4S) is a derivative of thiamphenicol. Its structure is identical to that of chloramphenicol – a synthetically developed antibiotic for veterinary use‚ such as treating a wide range of bacterial infections (Hayes p. 7). It is commercially available as 50 percent of Aquaflor® premix‚ which has been approved for the control of bacteria

Yeast Fermentation Lab Report SBI4U Chaweewan. Sirakawin Present to Ms.Allinotte November 21. 2014 Introduction: Fermentation is a metabolic pathway that produce ATP molecules under anaerobic conditions (only undergoes glycolysis)‚ NAD+ is used directly in glycolysis to form ATP molecules‚ which is not as efficient as cellular respiration because only 2ATP molecules are formed during the glycolysis. One type of fermentation is alcohol fermentation‚ it produces

would cause the spinach sample to photosynthesize the most within the given time. In order to understand photosynthesis‚ we need to know that chloroplasts absorb light energy from the sun‚ the plant then takes that energy along with water and carbon dioxide and changes it to sugar and oxygen. This happens in order for the plants to grow. But‚ light energy comes in a spectrum of colors called visible light. When visible light is absorbed it is also reflected‚ such as the green and yellow range. Photosynthetic

Carbon Trading: Future Money Making Venture for India Sarika Gupta Assistant Professor‚ P.M.B. Gujrati Commerce Collage‚ Indore Abstract Carbon Trading are generated by enterprises in the developing world that shift to cleaner technologies and thereby consumption‚ consequently reducing their greenhouse gas emissions. For each tone of carbon dioxide (the major GHG) emission avoided‚ the entity can get a carbon emission certificate which they can sell either immediately or through a futures market

THE CARBON CYCLE According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”)‚ the increase in anthropogenic CO2 emissions has led to the increase in global temperatures in the past century . Because of the preponderance of evidence linking greenhouse gases and climate change‚ governments worldwide are developing policy to reduce CO2 emissions. CO2 can enter the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels‚ in manufacturing processes‚ and other energy-reliant activities. However‚ not all emitted
