Wave Nature of Light Objective: The purpose of this lab is to investigate interference‚ otherwise known as the diffraction of light. A beam of light acts a wave‚ and we are able to use equations so calculate the wavelength of the light used. The diffraction of a straight edge demonstrates that light waves bend around straight edges‚ allowing light to enter an area of shadow. When waves are superposed‚ they reinforce each other when crests are in phase and cancel out when they are not in phase

BIOMAGNIFICATION LAB REPORT AIM The aim of this lab is to model bioaccumulation and biomagnification through a food chain. MATERIALS 100 M&M’s Paper towel to lay M&M’s on 20 small cups labelled “zooplankton” 5 medium cups labelled “minnow” 2 larger cups - one labelled “eel #1”‚ and another labelled “eel #2” 1 bowl labelled “osprey” PROCEDURE The pile of M&M’s represents the phytoplankton population in a lake. The printed “M” on the candy represents the amount of DDT (in ppm)

The lab in which we conducted last Tuesday was an analysis of a hydrate and what happens to it when it is heated. A hydrate is a crystalline compound which water molecules are chemically bound to it. In the lab‚ we were to analyze the difference in grams of the hydrate and the anhydrate. An anhydrate is the crystalline compound without the water molecules bound to it. During our lab‚ we were to heat up the crucible‚ the crucible with hydrate‚ and the crucible with an anhydrous and write down each

Name Lab‚ Week #1 BALANCE LAB Introduction Several instruments are used for determining the mass of a chemical; these instruments are called “balances.” However‚ different balances have different measurements‚ meaning that some balances are more accurate than others. Moreover‚ there are several techniques that are used or practiced in order to obtain an accurate measurement. The two techniques are direct weighing and weighing by difference. Direct weighing simply means to read the mass

Discussion The purpose of the Density Lab was to determine the identity of four unknown solids and two unknown liquids by calculating their densities and comparing them to a density chart‚ taking into account error analysis and finally classifying the substances. In order to calculate this density‚ we first found the mass of the container that was to be holding the substances. We then found the volume of the substance‚ and lastly determined the mass of the container and substance. We subtracted

October 1‚ 2013 Chemical Reactions of Copper Objective The objective of this lab is to convert copper (Cu0) “in a series of reactions to various compound containing copper as the Cu2+ species” (CHM111 Laboratory Manual) in order to prove the Law of the Conservation of Mass. Introduction In this experiment‚ we took a look at how copper (Cu0) reacts with different substances to get an end result where it is transformed back to its original state. There were five different reactions that involved

Date of Experiment: September 10th‚ 2013 Organic Chemistry II – CHLB330 Name: Symone E. MoxeyLab Partner: Lynden Cooper Synthesis of Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid) Abstract:- Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is produced experimentally in the lab. The resulting percentage yield is 65.5%. The purity of the obtained product is tested using the melting point and Ferric Chloride Test (FCT). The aspirin was massed‚ and the melting point was determined. Based on the data collected‚ there was a total
