This lab report will be detailing the steps taken and the results discovered when using spectrophotometry to determine the percentage of copper in a copper-clad penny and the thicknes of the copper layer on the copper-clad penny. After 1982‚ copper coating has been used in the creation of the penny because the cost of pure copper has increase to the point that the amount needed t omake a penny cost far more than the actual value of the penny. This lab allowed us to see just how much copper coating

Purpose The purpose of this catalase lab is to design simple experiments to demonstrate how various factors affect the rate of enzyme activity. This lab shows how the enzyme decomposes in hydrogen peroxide.

Lab 1 1. The white charge producer has a positive (+) polarity. The blue charge producer has a negative (-) polarity. 2. The positive charge builds significantly then remains as the charge producer is removed. 3. The negative charge builds significantly then remains as the charge producer is removed. 4. When the white charge producer is lowered then removed from the ice pail with out touching the positive charge builds then drops when the charger is removed. 5. When the ice pail

Energy Lab On November 13th‚ we did a lab to learn about energy. The definition of Kinetic Energy is energy of movement. The definition of Gravitational Potential Energy is energy in an object due to its positioning. The question that we had to answer was whether of not we could calculate the Gravitational Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy of various objects in different locations. To do this lab we had to first weigh the given objects. For this time‚ we weighed : a marble‚ a bouncy ball‚

Lab 3 : Techniques in Microscopy Title : Preparation of light microscope observe cell organisms. Objective : To observe and investigate the cell structure under the light microscope. Introduction A microscope is an instrument used to magnify and resolve a specimen. It is important to know several important features of microscopy which involves magnification‚ resolution and contrast. Magnification is the enlargement of a specimen while resolution is the ability to distinguish detail or the

Yak Lab Natural selection is the process by which favorable heritable traits become more common in successive generations of a population of reproducing organisms‚ and unfavorable heritable traits become less common. Natural selection acts on the phenotype‚ or the observable characteristics of an organism‚ such that individuals with favorable phenotypes are more likely to survive and reproduce than those with less favorable phenotypes. If all the offspring that organisms can produce were to survive

diagram. 2. Mass and record the mass of the penny. 3. Using a graduated cylinder‚ measure 60.0 mL of 3.0 M HCl and pour it into your 100mL beaker. 4. Place the penny in the HCl solution etch side up and record observations for 3-5 minutes. 5. Place the beaker in your lab drawer. 6. Answer question #1 for tomorrow. Read and prepare a data table for Day II. DAY II 1. Using your forceps‚ carefully remove the fragile copper jacket that is left from the penny. Rinse it gently in distilled water. 2. Dry

In this lab we tested to see if the amount of sunlight exposed to the basil seed‚ would affect the growth. The null hypothesis for this experiment was that there would be no statistical difference between the green‚ yellow‚ and red basil seeds’ growth. Three alternate hypotheses are: If we expose the green seed to 48 hours of sunlight and the yellow seed to 24 hours of sunlight‚ then the green seed with grow more than the yellow. The opposite of this hypothesis would alternate 2. Another alternate

The independent variable in this lab is the molarity of sucrose each dialysis bag is filled with. The time (30 minutes)‚ the temperature (23C) and the type of dialysis tubing used are all constants. 2. The dependent variable is the final mass of the dialysis bag. 3. The control in the experiment is distilled water‚ as it does not contain sucrose solution. C. MATERIALS NEEDED 4. Five 30 cm strips of dialysis tubing 5. Five clear plastic cups

Lab Report Background Information: Magnesium is an alkaline earth metal that has the symbol Mg. Magnesium is a fairly strong‚ silvery-white‚ light-weight metal (one third lighter than aluminum). In a powder‚ it heats and ignites when exposed to moisture and burns with a white flame that is harmful to the eyes. It is difficult to ignite in bulk‚ but once ignited‚ it is difficult to extinguish. Magnesium Ribbon is a long strip of magnesium metal about 3 millimeters wide and 10 meters long with
