Synthesis of Isopentyl Acetate (Banana Oil) Using A Fischer Esterification Reaction Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize Isopentyl Acetate using a Fischer esterification reaction. Fischer esterification is an acid-catalyzed condensation of an alcohol and a carboxylic acid‚ yielding an ester and water. Isopentyl Acetate has the scent of banana oil‚ once synthesized it will be purified by distillation. Then the analysis of the sample using H NMR and IR will determine purity

In order to read DNA‚ it must be sequenced. This sequencing uses electrophoresis‚ a technique that separates sections of DNA that differ by a base. Electrophoresis used to be done manually‚ but was error prone and time consuming. Now‚ automatic sequencing machines are used. A technician begins the process by pouring gel between two glass plates that are set less than half a millimeter apart. After the gel is set up‚ DNA is put into each of the ninety-six lanes. The DNA sections then move through

Based on the data from the riboflavin spectrum scan‚ the maximum absorbance wavelength for this compound is 446 nm. This was the point between 390 nm and 500 nm at which the absorbance value (0.72) was the highest. A blank tube that has the components of the solution being examined except for the compound of interest is then used in combination to provide an even more accurate reading. Then‚ by using Beer’s Law‚ the molar extinction coefficient for riboflavin was able to be calculated: 14‚400 L/(moles*cm)

Title: The affects of hydrogen peroxide on catalase reactions in animal and plant cells at different temperatures and states. Introduction: All living organisms in the kingdoms of life are composed of and depend on cells to function normally. Not all cells‚ however‚ are alike. There are two primary types of cells: eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Cells contain organelles‚ or tiny cellular structures‚ that carry out specific functions necessary for normal cellular operation. (Regina Bailey Updated

Specimen Preparation: Samples and all test reagent and kit were brought into room temperature. In 2ml eppendrof tube approximately 220mg stool sample were taken. Washing buffer was prepared by adding distilled water . Procedure for Purification of DNA from Stool sample: i. 220mg stool sample were collected in a 2ml tubes and placed it on ice. ii. Added 2ml Buffer ASL to each stool tube. Used pipet to wash the stool sample from the spoon while transferring the buffer. Vortexed continuously for 1minute

This experiment consisted of two parts. First‚ the absorption of each dye was evaluated by diluting (1 mg/mL standard) 2.0 mL of dye to 100 mL. The absorbance of each dye standard was measured and documented. The absorbance of the Gatorade was then measured by diluting the solution and pipetting 5.0 mL into a 25.0 mL volumetric flask. The absorption spectrum of the chosen drink was measured. Next‚ the purple Gatorade extraction procedure was carried out‚ beginning with pipetting 1 mL of 70% isopropanol

The purpose of the Weak Acid Dissociation experiment is to determine the dissociation constant of a weak acid experimentally by using acid-base titration with a strong base and stoichiometry. An acid-base titration is a method by which a basic (or acidic) solution of unknown concentration is reacted with an acidic (or basic) solution of known concentration. (1) The pH in acid-base titration is measured using a pH meter or color changing indicator‚ such as phenolphthalein‚ as the known solution is
