In this lab‚ we extracted spinach pigments‚ and analyzed what colors of light these pigments absorb. By using TLC plate‚ hexane and acetone‚ I separated the pigments of spinach‚ and discovered that the main pigments were green and yellow. This works because with different polarities‚ pigments move at different rates. Hexane and acetone were also used to separate chlorophyll and carotene from spinach. Since they are polar‚ they can separate organic and inorganic things. From the experiment‚ I know

Recrystallization is an often-used method for purifying solids. Recrystallization works by taking advantage of the different solubility properties of compounds‚ and allows impurities to be removed from crude solids. Performing a recrystallization is usually a straightforward task. First‚ you add a small amount of solvent to the impure compound in a flask‚ and heat the contents until all the material has dissolved. Then‚ you cool the solution‚ allowing crystals of purified solid to crash out of

SCIE211 Phase 2 Lab Report Title: Speciation Instructions: You will need to write a 1-page lab report using the scientific method to answer the following question: • What would happen if a species within a population were suddenly split into 2 groups by an earthquake that creates a physical barrier like a canyon? When your lab report is complete‚ post it in Submitted Assignment files. Part I: Use the animated time progression of speciation to help you write up your lab report. Part II: Write

Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to see how the colour of an apple would change (browning) over time‚ when placed in different conditions. When referring to the term “browning”‚ it is meant to imply the change of colour that occurs inside the apple‚ giving an appearance that is distasteful (Di Guardo et al.‚ 2013). Specifically‚ within this lab the apple was cut into 4 pieces with 3 pieces being placed on a weigh boat‚ and a 4th piece placed in a beaker of water. These weigh boats were

Formaldehyde is known to be one of the most reactive organic compounds. It can be produced by various reactions. It can produced by methods such as: Methanol undergoes an oxidation reaction in the presence of catalysts‚ ethyl-alcohol‚ coal gas‚ ethylene‚ methane‚ glycol‚ glycerin‚ and carbon monoxide Production of formalin form methanol: Formaldehyde is manufactured from methanol and air either by using a silver catalyst or a metal oxide catalyst. Using Silver Catalyst: To convert methanol to

of percentage of t-butyl chloride II. Introduction An alkyl halide is a derivative of alkanes. Alkanes are hydrocarbons with a functional group C-C. The hydrogen atom is then replaced by a halogen (F‚ Cl‚ Br‚ I). Therefore‚ alkyl halides are compounds that have a halogen atom bonded to a saturated‚ sp3 hybridized carbon atom. These could be classified according to the number of alkyl groups attached to the carbon that is bonded to the halogen atom. A methyl halide does not contain any alkyl group

Photosynthesis and the Amount of Light _______________________________________________________________________ I. Introduction Photosynthesis the process where plants use sunlight (energy) to synthesize foods forming the products carbohydrates and water (H20 + CO2 + Light CH2O + O2). For photosynthesis to take place they need water‚ carbon dioxide and light and chloroplasts. Light is absorbed inside he thylakoid

In this experiment‚ the scientists will research and test which of the four substances is the most efficient at absorbing water in cucumbers. The independent variable is the different substances being used. The dependent variable in the experiment is the amount of water absorbed. There are many constants including the same brand of cucumber slices‚ the same amount of each substance applied‚ the same measuring tools being used‚ and the same observation time. The control of these scientists’ experiment
