05/14/2013 7.1 Lab Report- Caloric Content of Food TITLE: LAB 7.1 CALORIC CONTENT OF FOOD PURPOSE: In this lab we will have the opportunity to measure the energy in a variety of foods‚ by heating/burning a portion of the food item and catching the heat released into a known mass of water in a calorimeter. We will also identify units of measuring heat such as calories and joules. We will use basic lab equipment provided in our labpaq and we will use several household items as well. We

useful solvent for many chemical processes. The solid was already in powder form therefore we did not have to crush it but it the unknown was in a tablet form‚ one would need to reduce it to a powdery-like form in order to perform this Thin-Layer Chromatography experiment. The powder solution was thoroughly mixed with a glass rod in the test tube containing

Background Information and Research Paper chromatography uses selective adsorption on a strip of paper. It is used for separating and identifying mixtures that are or can be colored‚ especially pigments. This can also be used in secondary or primary colors in ink experiments. Is it used for Contaminants in rainwater‚ Analysis of narcotics‚ and Detection of substances in urine. Purpose • The purpose of this lab is to see the separation of dye on the candy.

Gas Chromatography: Purifying alcohol Introduction The goal of this lab is to understand the principles of chromatography by purifying alcohol using fractional distillation. Running standards with gas chromatography we were able to see and calibrate our data to find not only how much ethanol our alcohol attained but also what a mixed unknown sample contained. Chromatography is a way of being able to separate substances in solution that can help not only identify the analytes (the studied

Lab #3 Separating Metal Cations by Paper Chromatography Introduction/Purpose: In chemistry‚ it is important to effectively analyze the components in a given mixture. In order to do so‚ chemists will analyze a mixture either qualitatively or quantitatively using different methods and equipment. Qualitative analyses are subjective‚ and only gather “non-numerical” data such as the color‚ appearance‚ and smell of the components. This data

Discussion Using the Thin Layer Chromatography experiment‚ caffeine was found to be the most polar due to the fact that it stayed closer to the stationary phase. Caffeine contains four amine groups that are extremely polar as a result of the hydrogen bond and amide functional group. Acetaminophen was found to be the second most polar analgesic drug tested. Acetaminophen contains a polar alcohol group on one side and amide group on the other but also includes non-polar functional groups that consisted

must you use lead pencil‚ instead of a pen‚ to mark your chromatography paper? A lead pencil should be used instead of a pen because the ink of the pen would dissolve in the eluting solution and separate. The components of the ink could mix with the other ink/ dyes that would be tested on the same chromatogram. Thus‚ a lead pencil should be used. 2. Why should you avoid touching the surface of the paper to be used for amino-acid chromatography? We should avoid touching the surface of the chromatogram

Lab: Energy Stored in Food Background Questions (5 points each = 10 points): 1. What happens to the molecules of the food that we eat during digestion? 2. What type of metabolism is this? Background information: In this lab we will attempt to set a variety of different types of food on fire and capture the heat energy that is given off. The heat energy from the burning comes form the energy stored in the chemical bonds of the food. The more energy in the bonds‚ the more heat the food will
