the different energy contents in food and different amounts of energy released when consumed. Throughout this experiment our procedure was to take different food samples and use a device known as a calorimeter made from a can of aluminum‚ one large paper clips and a string of copper wire to measure the amount of thermal energy released during a reaction. By measuring the temperature difference before and after a reaction‚ the calorimeter indicates how much energy is released. From personal experiences

Lab Report Problem: What method would consistently test the foam and ensure it has the correct density? Background: There are words that need to be understood before executing the experiment. The first thing you need to know is density. Density is a measure of mass per unit of volume. The reason for testing density of doors because doors must contain a density of 14.34lbs per ft3 of foam‚ or it will collapse if the density is too high. If the density is too low‚ it won’t allow for normal expansion

Question/Purpose: The Question or Purpose of our lab is to answer the question “How is the germination of a seed affected by sunlight?” Experimental Hypothesis: We believe these results will occur. 1. The seeds that are water deprived (1 mL of H2O a day) will not grow very well due to a lack of water which is important in photosynthesis and also lacks nutrients. The seeds may also die off due to a lack of water. 2. The seeds that are have a proper amount of water (10 mL of

Kiley O’Toole Lab Report 3 Purpose The purpose of this lab was to uncover the number of layers of zinc atoms around a piece of galvanized iron. This was done by pouring the hydrochloric acid onto the galvanized iron‚ thus removing the zinc from the piece of metal. Laboratory Procedure 1. Measured and recorded the mass of a piece of galvanized iron using a centigram balance and a ruler 2. Measured and recorded the length and width of the galvanized iron using the ruler 3. Put the

Modeling Effective Dose: Salt Tasting lab Purpose The purpose of this lab is to see at what measurements (of salt) can the salt be detected by taste. Abstract The science of toxicology is based on the principle that there is a relationship between a toxic reaction (the response) and the amount of poison received (the dose). An important assumption in this relationship is that there is almost always a dose below which no response occurs or can be measured. A second assumption is that once a maximum

Lab #1 ‐ Introduction to the Microscopy & Observation of Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells Introduction Many of the cells and organisms that you will be studying are at the lower limits of visibility of light microscopes; therefore‚ it is extremely important that you attain critical lighting and focussing. It is also important to handle the microscope competently to avoid damaging either the microscope or the preparation you are studying

titrate ¼ of the estimated amount number of mL of NaOH needed to react with the sulphate solution. Then add 5 mL at a time NaOH until Cu(OH)2 precipitate does not form. Record the correct number off mL which forms to NaOH solution. Fold the filter paper and stick inside the funnel‚ and pour the solution of copper (II) hydroxide through the filter. The purpose of this experiment is to determine the yield of copper (II) sulphate reaction. Reagent preparation: 0.5 mol/L = mol/0.1L 0.5 (0

Stoichiometry lab By: James Stewart Purpose: To calculate mole ratios Introduction: There are two types of chemical analysis; qualitative analysis which is the identification of a substance present in a material‚ and qualitative analysis which measures the amount of the substance. In this lab‚ you will perform a quantitative analysis of a two-step reaction. Copper(II) oxide will be synthesized from a known mass of copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate. Using the relationship of the balanced equation

Lab Electric Fields Introduction: This experiment was to investigate the concept of the electric field‚ and to determine the shape of equal potential lines surrounding charged objects. 1. Procedures: Place the sheet of graph paper on a table and center the clear dish over the grid. 2. Prepare the conductors by first making 2 longer jumper cables from 4 short ones. Do this by simply opening the
