pH and Living Systems I. Purpose: To observe the effects of pH change on an organic molecule. II. Materials: pH paper Droppers Ammonia Beakers (50ml) Paper towels water Glass stirring rods lemon juice forceps III. Procedure: Part 1: Initial pH testing 1) First use the wide range pH paper to test the pH of the liquids given. 2) When you test with the wide range paper first (which reads pH from 0-13) be sure

Studying the pH of Strong Acid‚ Weak Acid‚ Salt‚ and Buffer Solutions The purpose of the current experiment was to determine the pH of various hydrochloric acid and acetic acid solutions‚ to determine the pH of various salt solutions‚ to prepare a buffer solution‚ and determine the effects of adding a strong acid and strong base to the buffer solution versus adding a strong acid and strong base to water. The measured pHs for the hydrochloric acid solutions were 1.6‚ 2.2‚ 2.9‚ and 3.8. The measured

CHM 116 Lab Investigations of Buffers I. Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to get an understanding as to how to properly prepare chemical buffers. Also part of this experiment was to gauge the effectiveness of the buffers by measuring their pH levels in various titration solutions‚ using a pH meter. II. Procedure To start our experiment we had to prepare Buffer B‚ which was the .060 M Ammonia/Ammonium solution. Using 3.0 M ammonia‚ we had to calculate

Amylase Enzyme vs. Starch vs. pH vs. Temperature Taylor Ellsworth Professor Michael Bunch Cell Biology 112 “Effects of Amylase reaction time when breaking down starch.” Experiment Goal: The goal of our experiment was to understand the similarities in digestion by finding out how long it takes for the amylase enzyme‚ found in saliva‚ to break down our substrate‚ starch. Hypothesis: While understanding that starch is broken down by our saliva (amylase enzyme) we predict that the higher

1) Natural buffers are chemicals that the body releases into the blood stream to help maintain a healthy pH level. Carbon dioxide (CO2) acts as an acid by donating hydrogen ions when needed and forms carbonic acid when it dissolves in water. Carbonic acid bicarbonate is important for maintaining an acid base balance in the blood as it equalizes the pH (7.5) of the blood. All body fluids have buffers that defend the body against pH changes. A process that affects buffers in the blood is exercise

LSM1102 Lab Report Introduction Transformation is a process which involves plasmid DNA being bound to the cell surface and the subsequent uptake of DNA by the cell (Panja et al.‚ 2008). For artificial transformation of E. coli cells with plasmids‚ plasmid DNA has to be extracted from bacterial cells using the High-Speed Plasmid Mini Kit‚ which is then mixed with competent E. coli cells followed by heat shock and the streaking of transformed cells on two different types of agar plate (LB and LB+ampicillin)

The protein concentration in bovine cells was measured by diluting the homogenate with a 1:5 ratio; 50 microliters of homogenate and 200 microliters of water. Then 5 known protein concentration samples which were 0.4‚ 0.8‚ 1.2‚ 1.6‚ 2.0 mg/ml of bovine serum were used to
