Down with the Top Ten Percent Many colleges try to have a racially diversified environment by using affirmative action. Some colleges used the point system which would give an edge to minorities over Caucasians. The supreme court of Texas prohibited colleges to use affirmative action. When affirmative action was prohibited‚ minority enrollments at colleges decrease. To racially diversify colleges‚ Legislature passed the top ten percent rule. The top ten percent rule states any high school

Solubility‚ Crystallization and Melting Point Determination Post-Lab Discussion Guidelines: Part 2A and 2C: Draw tables (as in textbook) showing which combinations were soluble/miscible and which were insoluble/immiscible. Explain why this is so. Why are certain chemicals soluble/miscible when others are not? Part 3A: Calculate % recovery (this is not the same as % yield – see handout from the first day of lab if you’re confused)‚ and determine melting point of your product. Discuss % recovery

Stoichiometry Lab Stoichiometry is the end result of adding up chemical elements that were involved in chemical reactions (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/stoichiometry). The word stoichiometry was obtained from two greek words meaning element and measure. This explains the definition for the term. A chemist named Jeremias Benjamin Richter was the chemist responsible for first realizing what stoichiometry was (http://www.chemteam.info/Stoichiometry/What-is-Stoichiometry.html). In 1972

Name: 2968 Instructor: Reid A hydrate was given to our group and the identity of the hydrate was unknown. The lab workers were told to determine the identity of the unknown hydrate. The identity of the hydrate could be determined by calculating the hydrate’s percent of water. So the lab workers set out to determine the water percent of the unknown hydrate. The percent of any compound or element can be found by using a certain formula. This formula is: % of element = Mass of element or

9-19-13 Dehydrating and Rehydrating a Hydrate Introduction The mass percent of water was determined using the mass of water and dividing it by the total mass of the hydrate and then multiplying that answer by 100%. The number of moles of water in a hydrate was determined by taking the mass of the water released and dividing it by the molar mass of water. The number of moles of water and the number of moles of the hydrate was used to calculate the ratio of moles of water to moles of the sample

this recrystallization lab in order to achieve the desired results‚ which included heating the solvent‚ completing a hot filtration‚ completing a vacuum filtration of a chilled solution‚ as well as drying and calculating the weight and melting point of the final version of the sample. I began the lab with 1.5 grams of the impure acetanilide solute and ended the lab with 0.05 grams of pure acetanilide crystals. The percentage of pure acetanilide I recovered during this lab was 3.33%‚ which is lower

In this lab we will look at how molecules move across the membrane of a cell . Osmosis is the movement of water across a cell membrane.In osmosis the cell membrane is selectively permeable‚which allows for the membrane to control what types of substances that passes through.Transportation can either be passive or active.Passive transport does not require the use of added energy where as active transport requires the cell to use energy. Diffusion is the simplest form of passive transport. Using
