The study of urinary chemistry on stone forming minerals will provide a good indication of risk of stone formation. Urinary supersaturation with respect to stone-forming constituents is generally considered to be one of the causative factors in calculogenesis. Though supersaturation of stone forming salts in urine is essential‚ abundance of these salts by itself will not always result in stone formation. Various substances in the body have an effect on one or more of the stone forming processes (nucleation

analyzed during the reaction between the sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)2). Through the conductivity‚ the equivalence point can be determined; from there‚ the concentration of the Ba(OH)2 solution can be found. The final product of the reaction between sulfuric acid and barium hydroxide is insoluble. According to the lab manual‚ during the reaction‚ the total number of dissociated ions in solution is greatly reduced as a precipitate is formed. With the Conductivity Probe‚ the changes

DNA Extraction Lab 1/17/14 Purpose : This lab was conducted in order to show and analyze the way DNA is extracted. Hypothesis: If the lab is conducted properly then we should be able to view a visible amount of DNA from the strawberry and detergent mixture. Variables: The independent variable in this experiment is the strawberry mixture while the dependent

Although I love science‚ I encountered more problems in this subject than any other. Recently‚ I was assigned a lab. The purpose was to let Copper Sulfate react with Aluminum and obtain Copper. Before the experiment‚ I set up the stoichiometric equation carefully‚ predicting the production of Copper using my assigned mass of Copper Sulfate. Additionally‚ I intentionally made Copper Sulfate an excess in my equation‚ since it would be dissolved in water and I would only have to collect Copper at the

or grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3) for most solid and liquid samples of matter. Density is often used as a point of identification in the determination of an unknown substance. The density of the unknown might be used to distinguish the unknown from a list of known substances. It is very unlikely for two substances to have the same density‚ and when coupled with boiling point and melting point it adds even more validity to the identity

EXTRACTION OF COPPER FROM OXIDISED COPPER ORE Aim: To analyse how copper is obtained from oxidised copper ore using the processes of leaching‚ solid-liquid separation‚ displacing and electrowinning. Method: Refer to ‘Extraction of Copper from oxidised Copper Ore’ document pages 1-2 Results: Leaching: The blue particles in the copper ore which is copper was dissolved in the sulphuric acid and the solution turned into a blue colour. There was also sediment that was floating around

Extraction of metals The History of Metals. Metals have been used by people for many thousands of years. Gold and silver‚ found as native metal‚ were used both as jewellery and as a status symbol - nothing new there. These metals were known in the Stone Age‚ but gold and silver are too soft to be used as tools. The first really useful metal to be discovered was bronze. This began the Bronze Age. Bronze was used extensively for tools and weapons in Asia and Africa from 4‚500 B.C. (6‚500 years

Objective: The purpose of the lab is to learn filtering techniques. Specifically‚ to form and filter a calcium carbonate precipitate using a Buchner funnel. Procedure: a.) Prepared a mixture of .5 M calcium nitrate (45 mL) and .01 M sodium carbonate by combining and stirring the two liquids in a beaker. Allow the mixture to stand. b.) Prepare the filtration assembly. The assembly consists of a tapered flask with a buchner funnel inserted in the top. The funnel has a rubber stopper attached

behind the extraction of a solution containing benzoic acid‚ cellulose‚ and methyl orange involves many components pertaining to the fundamental ideas of solubility and polarity. Using the concepts of like dissolving like and acid base reactions‚ a solution of organic acid (benzoic acid)‚ a water soluble compound cellulose‚ and an organic soluble compound methyl orange‚ can be separated and benzoic acid can be isolated by a method of extraction. At the fundamental level‚ organic solvents separate

Elisa Hofmeister Kokesh Hour 3 AP Chemistry 5-29-12 The Chemistry of Coffee Green Coffee- Before coffee is roasted‚ it is referred to as “green coffee”. The green coffee is primarily made up of caffeine‚ lipids‚ carbohydrates‚ proteins (amino acids)‚ and organic acids (although inorganic acids exist in coffee as well). These groups are quite stable in the green phase‚ and it is the carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ and acids that will undergo significant reactions during roasting to produce coffee
