Bio Lab Report In part II of the Organic Compounds in Foods lab‚ we to examining whether or not the starch in the saltine cracker can chemically break down in sugar with the presence of salivary amylase‚ which is an enzyme found in your mouth which assists in digestion. My group and I were instructed to obtain a saltine cracker from our teacher and chew on it for approximately 2 minutes. After concluding the chewing‚ we then grabbed a beaker and spit our slimy and chewed cracker into it. Subsequently

esterification reaction that was carried out in this lab is shown in figure 1. It worth mentioning that the by-product of such reaction is water. In organic chemistry‚ the reaction in which water molecule is released is known as condensation reaction (Hornback‚ 2006). Figure1 is drawn using Chem Sketch software. a) b) Figure 1: Typical Fischer esterification reaction (a) in comparison to the specific esterification reaction used in this lab (b) The reaction can also be categorized in terms of

Jeanine Campa Biology 101 10/20/2010 Ecology-Interspecific Interactions Lab Intro: Ecology is the study of how organisms interact within their environment. Every species interacts with its surroundings‚ whether it’s within their populations‚ community‚ ecosystem‚ etc. In this lab‚ we will be comparing two different species and how they grow alone as well as together‚ in the same environment. More specifically‚ in this lab‚ we will be dealing with one of the most important ideas in ecology‚ the

Lab Report 7: Analysis of Cereal Introduction: The objective of this lab was to consult for the FDA regarding a recently surfaced scandal involving false reporting of iron content in cereal as well as iron tablets. The makers of the cereal and the iron tablets‚ respectively‚ were allegedly reporting higher amounts of iron in their products than actually existed‚ as a way to save money but continue to provide products with “adequate” amounts of iron. The FDA needed consulting in order to analyze

drops of 1M NaOH solution. At the same time suspend a piece of red litmus paper over unknown solution. If red litmus paper turns blue‚ it indicates the existence of NH4+ ion. 3.Sample solubility and solution tests (i) Dissolve ~1/2-2/3 of sample in ~10-15mL of DIW. Always retain a sample of original sample! This sample/DIW ratio will give ion concentrations of ~0.1-0.2M for soluble salts of unknowns. (ii) Observe pH to one SF Use small portion of sample to make a solution with neutral

Ashley Huston ILab‚ Week #2 CATIONS AND ANION LAB Introduction The purpose of this lab is to demonstrate a double-replacement reaction of ionic compounds. In this experiment‚ you will combine two ionic compounds. Both compounds are soluble in water. If a response happens between these two compounds‚ then a precipitate will form because one of the two resultant compounds is not soluble in water. This is a hint that a reaction took place. Cations are positively charged ions that are attracted

The Great Antacid Culminating Lab Purpose: To determine which antacid tablet is the most effective. Materials: 3 different antacid tablets‚ thymol blue‚ droppers‚ pH probe and necessary cables‚ pH probe holder‚ retort stand‚ 1 mol/L HCl‚ droppers‚ five 150 mL beaker‚ mortar and pestle‚ graduated cylinder‚ balance‚ weighing dish‚ stir rod Procedure: 1) Gather all the equipment you will need to do the lab. You will be working in groups of 3 2) Calibrate the pH probe as you practiced the day

Abstract The purpose of this lab was to test if ethanol affects the reaction involving hydrogen peroxide and catalase. Tests were performed by putting chicken liver‚ ethanol solution (diluted ethanol solution for other trials) and hydrogen peroxide in a test tube with a side arm‚ and having a rubber tube lead the oxygen gas into a gas collection tube. Results from the tests showed a negative correlation‚ this means that the more diluted the solution of 95% ethanol was‚ the less oxygen gas collected
