Abstract In this lab we separated components of a simulated preparation‚ panacetin and making use of its acid base properties. To obtain such a pure compound‚ the compound we want must be separated from its other natural components‚ which can be done by manipulating physical and chemical properties. Panacetin contains sucrose‚ aspirin and an unknown which can be acetanilide or phenacetin in which phenacetin was created and weighed. Introduction In this lab our basic goal was to make the

Agar What is it and where is it from? Derived from the cell walls of red algae‚ agar is a gelatinous substance extracted through a process of boiling and filtration. Agar is specifically used in laboratories for diagnostics and experimental purposes. Agars main purpose is to act as a growth medium for micro-organisms such as bacteria and fungi. The micro-organisms feed off the nutrients contained in Agar and can be both cultured and observed within it by scientists and the use of a microscope. Using

Mallory Charland February 9‚ 2015 Mutations of E. coli Lab Report Advanced Biology Deducing Mutations of the Lac Operon of E. coli Abstract: In this lab we determined a possible mutation in unique bacterial strains of E. coli by observing the proper responses of wild type E. coli Lac Operon as a control group. Mutated strains of E. coli were placed in four test tubes‚ each containing a different substance (lactose‚ glucose‚ water and lactose and glucose)

Chemistry 207 (Lab # 1) 9/11/12 Experiment #1: Cooperative Identification of an Organic Solid A. What needs to be done: In this lab‚ one will identify the identity of a colorless organic solid by experimentally finding the physical properties of the solid. Such properties include melting point‚ mixed melting point‚ and IR spectrum. With these properties‚ one will be able to compare their results of the organic solid to see if any other classmates have the same unknown sample. B. Timeline:

Abstract: When ionic compounds are dissolved in water‚ they break apart into ions. In this lab the opportunity to mix two ionic solutions and observe the results was given. Some ions will remain dissolved and uncombined in the solution even when they are mixed with other ions. When other ions are mixed‚ they form compounds that appear as cloudy or grainy precipitates. The objective of this lab was to observe the formation of compounds and to write the names and formulas of ionic compounds. It is also to

Adol Condensation Introduction: This reaction is carried out by adding benzaldehyde and acetone into a flask. The product created is a 1‚5-diphenyl-1‚4-pentdiene-3-one‚ which includes two double bonds‚ and two benzyl ring functional groups. This is a dehydration reaction that occurs twice in order to form the diene. After obtaining the product‚ via vacuum filtration‚ it will be recrystallized and then analyzed for purity by determining both products’ melting point. The two products will be

The Effects of Individuals’ Detection of Changes in Images on Reaction Time Abstract The purpose of this current study was to examine how individuals detected or noticed change when viewing images on their level of attentiveness. The experiment consisted of 22 participants who had to detect change across conditions for 20 minutes. These conditions were importance of change (marginal and central) and change type (color‚ location and disappearance and reappearance of images). These

The Effect of Metal Ions on Lichens Casey Stinnett ESC 1510 October 30‚ 2014 Introduction Lichens are a sybiotic association of fungus (mycobiont) and algae (Pediastrum boryanum . The fungus engulfs the algae‚ then supplies carbs‚ nitrogen‚ and vitamins while the algae photosynthesizes. This unusual relationship enables the lichen to grow in environments where neither fungus nor algae would normally be able to solely survive. They are found on every continent‚ ranging all the way from
