Lab #5: Refraction of Light Theory: Refraction can be defined as the bending of a wave when it enters a medium which causes it to have some reduced speed. In terms of light‚ refraction occurs when the ray passes through some medium which slows its speed; such as water or glass. In this instance the ray tends to bend towards the normal of the medium. The amount of bending or refraction which occurs can be calculated using Snell’s Law (). Objective: To measure the index of refraction of Lucite

Osmosis Lab Report The essential focus of the experiment was to acquire data for the mass change resulting from osmosis in order to determine the carbohydrate solution of the carrot cells. The carrots were a vegetable used within the experiment with a carbohydrate solution around .5 M. The hypothesis is if there are carrots in different carbohydrate solutions then there will be a percent change in mass. The carrots have large vacuoles that hold water‚ this allows the mass to increase when the hypertonic

cheese. Lactic acid bacteria(LAB)‚ a bacteria that can be found in the production of cheese‚ its stress gene was investigated in the experiment by using various biochemical and genetic techniques to identify and extract. The characterisation of the strain illustrates how identification of strains differ using different methods‚ such as gram stain and 16s rRNA screening. After the characterisation‚ the stress gene isolation assist the further understanding of the gene on LAB be giving different stress

the hot water from combining it with the cold water. As discussed in a page titled Heat Capacity2‚ the heat capacity is defined as the amount of heat it takes to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree (in this case C). In the experiment performed in lab‚ the heat capacity of the calorimeters was calculated by subtracting the heat gain from the heat loss and then dividing that by the difference in the temperatures between cold water and the combination of the hot and cold water‚ . The heat

Calorimetry Experiment Purpose: The objective of this lab is to determine the enthalpy change for NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) NaCl (aq) + H2O(l) Procedure: Before measuring the enthalpy of acid base neutralization‚ my partner Brian and I determined a calorimeter constant‚ using a homemade polystyrene calorimeter. With the following formula and data: qhot= cm (Tf-Ti) qcold=cm(Tf-Ti) SYSTEM DATA SURROUNDINGS DATA Water cold Mass: 50mL Water hot Mass: 50mL C=4.18 C=4.18 Ti=20 C Ti=31

This part of the experiment yielded an exothermic reaction. The purpose was to calculate the specific heat capacity and molar mass of the zinc metal. The specific heat capacity was found to be 0.197 J/g °C with a percent error of -49.5%. The molar mass was found to be 127 g/mol with a percent error of 94.2%. Possible sources of error inherent to this segment of the experiment were the fact that when the temperature of the solution was being measured
