The objective of this lab was to recreate the color profile of a given solution. In this case‚ the solution was Powerade. The final solution should match the absorbance values at the peak wavelengths (420nm and 628nm) in Powerade. This lab was done using deionized water‚ FD&C Blue #1‚ FD&C Yellow #5‚ FD&C Red #40‚ and a spectrometer. To obtain the correct color profile‚ FD&C Blue #1 and FD&C Yellow #5 were utilized in the sample solutions. The experiment was conducted over two days; the first day

Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to see how the colour of an apple would change (browning) over time‚ when placed in different conditions. When referring to the term “browning”‚ it is meant to imply the change of colour that occurs inside the apple‚ giving an appearance that is distasteful (Di Guardo et al.‚ 2013). Specifically‚ within this lab the apple was cut into 4 pieces with 3 pieces being placed on a weigh boat‚ and a 4th piece placed in a beaker of water. These weigh boats were

The purpose of the lab is to identify the compound based on a constant composition by performing a serious of tests. The hydrate is solid crystals compound and appears to be dry: since an ionic compound (salt) is crystallized from an aqueous solution (water)‚ by heating the hydrate the water is released from ionic structure; therefore it is possible to measure the weight of the ionic compound and calculate its ratio to the liquid in the hydrate. The goal of the lab is to establish the identity

Introduction: There are times when it is necessary to go through something both inside and outside‚ literally‚ to learn. This was exactly the case with virtual lab #11 where the experiment called for an examination of an earthworm’s exterior anatomy and interior anatomy. The earthworm as a whole is considered the dependent variable as we cannot change it. However‚ the labels to be placed can be moved so they are the independent variables. My hypothesis is quite elementary. I believe that after studying

Morgan Kimmerle Monday Lab Dr. McCorkell Abstract The purpose of this study was to cross and analyze the reciprocal crosses of wild flies and mutant flies. In this lab Drosophila melanogaster commonly known as fruit flies were used to understand some important genetic principles that were once proposed by Gregor Mendel. Mutant traits can be autosomal dominant‚ autosomal recessive traits‚ or even sex-linked dominant and sex-linked recessive. F1 and F2 generations were obtained by performing

The lab required pressing two toothpicks against the skin simultaneously. It was difficult to press down both toothpicks at the same time and this skewed the results. When the toothpicks weren’t pressed down at the same time‚ it felt like one point‚ then another

Introduction In the amylase lab‚ it was being tested if amylase‚ an enzyme found in saliva‚ would be denatured by being put in an acid or high temperatures. This lab is about denaturing amylase. It is tested by exposing it to pH and temperature changes. It is then mixed with Benedict’s solution‚ is a solution that changes color from blue to reddish brown when maltose is present. Amylase breaks starch into maltose‚ so is the amylase isn’t denatured‚ it should change colors. Amylase is an enzyme

Data Analysis: 1. What was the temperature change for the water in the calorimeter (ΔTwater)? 3°C 2. What was the temperature change for the metal sample (ΔTmetal)? Assume the intial temperature of the metal was the same as the temperature of the water it was boiled in. 70°C 3. What was the specific heat of water in J/g°C? 4.186 J/g°C 4. Using the following equation‚ your answers to questions 1-3‚ and your data table‚ determine the specific heat of the metal sample you tested. 5

Michele Baden Bio 100 – 05 ALLELOPATHY INTRODUCTION The purpose of this lab was to observe the effects of chemical warfare among plants. Plant seeds compete with other plants and seeds‚ for sunlight‚ and nutrients in order to germinate. In order to win dominance over other seeds‚ and reduce competition‚ plants produce and release a chemical in order to prevent other seeds from germination. This type of chemical warfare is referred to as allelopathy. Allelopathy exists in many parts of the plants
