Experiment 6 Preparation and reactions of boric acid Objectives: To prepare boric acid from sodium tetraborate (borax) To carry out tests on the prepared sample of boric acid To study the physical and chemical properties of boric acid Introduction: Boron is an element in the p-block of the periodic table. It has the electron configuration of 1s22s22p1 and is in group 3 or goup 13 (IUPAC classification). In nature‚ it consists of two isotopes 10B (19.6%) and 11B (80.4%). Boron is bonded

of the Enthalpy of an Acid-Base Reaction Abstract The purpose of this lab was to first‚ determine the specific heat capacity of a homemade calorimeter‚ and second‚ to calculate the enthalpy of reaction for an acid-base reaction between 6M KOH and 6M HNO3. To determine the specific heat capacity of the calorimeter‚ two differing temperatures of water were measured and volume was measured and mixed within the calorimeter. The enthalpy of reaction for an acid-base reaction was found by these steps:

Abstract: Protecting biological diversity is defined based on analyzing the cladistic information. In this lab the null hypothesis was examined through interpreting constructed cladograms. A cladogram of five mammalian species include domestic dog (canis familiaris)‚ the Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana)‚ the domestic horse (Equus caballus)‚ the domestic cat (Felis cattus) and the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianusis is generated based on the morphological feathers of these mammalian

the limiting reactant of a chemical reaction that involves iron filings and a copper sulfate solution. Second‚ to determine the mole ratios between iron and copper and to show that a single replacement reaction occurs when iron and copper sulfate react with each other. And lastly‚ to determine/calculate the percent yield to better analyze the chemical reaction between iron and copper sulfate to produce copper and iron sulfate. The method used to perform this lab will be to combine a metal with a solution

The objective of these labs were to use sophisticated techniques to produce double-stranded RNA that was incubated with live Drosophila cells to inhibit the expression of our two genes of interest. The overall process of the four labs was to isolate and amplify DNA using the polymerase chain reaction with primers that contained gene-specific sequences to Thread or Dynamin-related protein 1 (drp-1)‚ along with T7 promoter site sequences. The amplified DNA was purified and both strands of the DNA

objective of the experiment was to prepare Benzilic acid by multistep synthesis starting with benzaldehyde. In this setup however‚ product of the first step‚ Benzoin‚ is provided thereby omitting the first step involving the conversion of benzaldehyde. For this experiment‚ the microscale techniques of reflux‚ crystallization‚ and melting-point determination were used. Utilizing these techniques a product yield of 93% for benzil and 57% for Benzilic acid was obtained‚ as well as a melting point range of

Laboratory Exercise #3 Measuring Protein in Solution Abstract The purpose of this lab was to learn about the Biuret assay reaction to determine if it can detect proteins and amino acids; also‚ to understand the process of “salting out” proteins and how to determine the amount of protein in a solution. In order to do so‚ egg white and ammonium sulfate were mixed on ice and then put into the centrifuge. After PBS was added‚ the amount of protein could then be determined. After that‚ 14 test tubes

Acids and Bases Shane Purpose- To study the relationship between pH and metabolism. 10/21/13 Materials- see attached Per. D Biology Procedure- see attached Data and Results- see attached Theory- PH stands for the power of hydrogen. People refer to the pH scale as a tool for finding out if a substance is acidic‚ basic‚ or neutral. This scale goes from zero to fourteen. The number seven is neutral. Any number higher than seven on this scale is basic. Any number lower is acidic
