The acid-fast stain is performed on samples to demonstrate the characteristic of acid fastness in certain bacteria. Acid fastness is a characteristic that is shared by just a few organisms‚ so staining to determine if organisms possess this trait is useful in microbial identification schemes. The Ziehl-Neelsen method has endured as a reliable and effective way to demonstrate the acid-fast bacteria. Materials: 18-20 nutrient hour agar slant culture of Staphyloccus aureus 4 day old nutrient

necessary reaction schemes. The reaction schemes should include molecular weights and any other important physical data for the reagents and products. Ex. Cyclohexanol was oxidized to cyclohexanone using sodium dichromate in the presence of sulfuric acid. * Note: you can download a free version of a structure editor from ACD labs‚ the PC version is called chemsketch‚ the Mac version is called marvinsketch. You should learn how to draw structures using these programs. Lab reports should look professional

Tablets I. Introduction An acid-base titration is a method of neutralizing strong acids. Unbeknownst to many‚ acid-base titrations occur on a daily basis. Our stomachs use acid to help us digest our food – approximately .155 hydrochloric acid (HCl) with a pH of 2-3. When too much of this acid is formed in the stomach‚ heartburn and other discomfort occurs. This is when people grab for their antacids; these are bases that neutralize the excess acid in the stomach. Calcium carbonate

What are trans fatty acids‚ and where do they come from? We’re used to hearing about saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids - which come from animal fats (meat‚ lard‚ dairy products) as well as tropical oils such as coconut and palm oils - raise the levels of LDL cholesterol. Unsaturated fats - which come from vegetable oils - in general‚ do not increase cholesterol levels‚ and may reduce them. Because saturated fatty acids were found to be bad for you a couple decades ago

Introduction Extraction is a purification technique used in organic chemistry to separate compounds from a mixture of two or more compounds. There are three different extraction techniques: liquid-liquid extraction‚ solid-liquid extraction and chemically active extraction. All three types of extraction follow the same principle. Organic molecules dissolve in organic solvents and polar molecules dissolve in aqueous solvents. This phenomenon is observed because of the intermolecular forces between

Acid Rains There are three gases which could cause acid rain‚ which are Sulphur Dioxide (sulphuric acid)‚ NOx (oxides of nitrogen which produce nitric acid) and also perhaps Carbon Dioxide (weak carbonic acid)‚ produces these acids because these gases dissolve in rain water/ precipitation and this forms a weak version of the acid‚ as the gases dissolve it lowers the pH of the rainwater. I think that there has been a increase in the production of acid rain‚ due to the fact that the country as a
