protein concentration of an unknown sample of BSA‚ and by using the standard curve. Abstract A spectrophotometer’s purpose is to use colors of the light spectrum to determine the concentration of light absorbing molecules in a solution. (p.59) In this particular lab‚ our mission was to determine the protein concentration and the standard curve of the unknown sample of BSA. This‚ by preparing five dilutions of the unknown solution of BSA together with other known concentrations‚ and then

Introduction For this experiment‚ we are going to determine the effect of temperature on solubility‚ to be done in a chemical by dissolving a solute in a definite amount of solution which is saturated. Specifically‚ the goal of this experiment is to prepare a saturated solution of Na2C2O4 in water at different temperatures‚ determine the effect of temperature in solubility‚ and to apply Le Chatelier’s Principle. We can do all this by simply titrating a certain amount of standard KMnO4‚ and measuring

Based on calculations #7 made above for solving the molecular weight‚ it was identified that the unknown liquid was Butanoic acid: 88.1g/mol. Since the calculated value was 83.5 g/mol‚ it was assumed that Butanoic acid was the only solute out of all that were listed that shared a similar value. In reference to the results and data used for calculation the molecular weight (MW) for the unknown was successfully proven to match the accepted value of 88.1 g/mol. More specifically‚ this was evident due

Effects on Survivors of Concentration Camps Many people during the 1940s were put into concentration camps‚ and after getting out‚ if they did get out‚ suffered many problems. The stress and torment these people went through was pure murder (Nelken). The humans put into these concentration camps were from many different races‚ and also included the mentally retarded‚ severely handicapped‚ insane‚ and very sick people (Austin). Survivors of concentration camps faced psychological‚ spiritual‚ physical

substances catch fire at a different temperature. The lowest temperature at which a substance catch fire is called its ignition temperature. Combustible substances do not catch fire or burn as long as its temperature is lower than its ignition temperature. Now let me do an activity which tells you why reaching ignition temperature is necessary to burn an object. You know that paper catch fire with a flame. Let me

has different concentrations on either side. Permeable means "allows anything to pass through". Membranes in cells allow small molecules (water) to pass through‚ but prevent bigger ones from passing. This is called "selectively permeable". Take a look at the following animation; If a selectively permeable membrane separates the two solutions‚ water moves through it in both directions at the same time. However‚ more water leaves a dilute solution (high water concentration) and passes into

REVIEW SHEET EXERCISE 9 Renal System Physiology NAME: LAB TIME/DATE: Simulating Glomerular Filtration The following questions refer to Activity 1: Investigating the Effect of Flow Tube Radius on Glomerular Filtration. 1. Describe the effect of increasing the afferent radius on glomerular filtration rate and glomerular pressure. As the afferent radius increases the glomerular filtration rate and glomerular pressure both increase the pressure in slow steps the filtration rate greatly

Heat‚ Temperature‚ and Phase Changes Assessment Practice Answer This graph shows what happens to the temperature of the water‚ while it was boiling in a kettle‚ as heat energy was being added to it and what the water was doing will it began to warm and change states. During a phase change‚ the temperature remains mainly constant. This occurs because the heat energy is used to break the bonds between the ice molecules as they turn into a liquid phase. It is possible to constantly

According to the results‚ the experimental group had a huge impact when the diluted concentration of caffeine was put in compared to the control group that contained no concentration of caffeine. The hypothesis was supported because a significant decrease of the total number of cells when caffeine solution was added to the experimental group was clearly shown. An addition of small amounts of caffeine does inhibit cell proliferation and affect cell viability during the lab experimentation one more
