Experiment 2: Synthesis of Isoamyl Acetate (Banana Flavor) Paul Symon C. Manuel*‚ Katherine Merene‚ Charlene Mondelo‚ and Pamela Mallari Department of Chemistry‚ University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize isoamyl acetate via an esterification reaction between acetic acid and isoamyl alcohol‚ using concentrated sulfuric acid as a catalyst. The product was washed with sodium hydrogen carbonate‚ as well as with water‚ and then dried

group which was treated with reference drug (Diazepam 2 mg/kg bw). The third and fourth groups were considered as test groups and were treated with SMCE at the dose level of 100mg and 200mg/kg bw respectively. Animals were fasted 18 h prior to the experiment. An adaptation period of about forty five minutes after the drug treatment‚ the experimental animals were placed individually in the center of a platform facing one of the arms was closed‚ because animals naturally prefer the enclosed arms‚ as the

It was north of the campus on the hill nearby the Sarah Fleishman Agriculture building. The experiment was held from March 26 to April 16. The weather was not constant meaning it was warm in the first week than there was rain. In the last week of experiment there were snow showers as well. Four pitfalls (cups) were set up in ground under the sagebrush and the cups are above the ground about ¾ containing different substances

Experiment 1 Cyanobacteria Oxygen Production Through Photosynthesis Date Performed: September 2‚ 2014 I. Introduction a. Background Cyanobacteria or blue green algae are renowned for their tolerability and susceptibility even in wide range of environmental conditions‚ a characteristic of many primitive organisms. CNB are believed to be the agents of autotrophic origin of life thus they probably represent the survivors of the earliest photosynthetic plants‚ along with photosynthetic and chemosynthetic

The purpose of my experiment is to determine which temperature will allow Luminol to glow at its greatest capacity. My hypothesis is that the glow will illuminate for the longest time in a cold temperature because it will take longer to dissolve. I also predict that in the warmer temperature‚ the glow will be at it’s brightest. Luminol is a chemical‚ which exhibits chemiluminescence with a blue glow. It is a solid that is soluble in most polar solvents‚ but insoluble in water. Luminol is widely

on the regeneration rate of the planaria. The hypothesis of this experiment is that if the planarians are exposed to a certain number of magnets at a closer distance‚ then they will regenerate stronger and faster. This is important because it could lead to faster regeneration for the animal and lead to bigger things such as finding a way to incorporate this to human regeneration. Many experiments have been researched

If these variables were not to be held constant than the findings of this experiment would be meaningless because there would be no way of desiring if the independent variable was the cause of the changes which were recorded In this experiment‚

PHYSICS UNIT 2 Physics P2 for GCSE Additional Science or GCSE Physics AQA GCSE Science PHYSICS 2 Unit P2.1 Forces and their effects Appreciate that forces can cause changes to the shape or motion of an object. Not only can objects can move in a straight line at a constant speed but they can also change their speed and/ or direction (accelerate or decelerate). Be able to use/produce graphs can help us to describe the movement of an object. These may be distance-time graphs or velocity-time graphs

Osmosis in potato cells Aim: To view and examine the effect different concentrations of sucrose solution has on the movement of water across the cell membrane. Hypothesis: That the potatoes will either increase or decrease in mass‚ due to the effect of the different concentrations. Osmosis will occur. Apparatus: * Fresh potatoes * Apple corer * Scalpel * Petri dishes X 10 * 50ml measuring cylinder * Distilled water * Paper towelling * Sucrose solutions:

The Elvis Experiment Introduction: In this experiment we will determine how the difference in length and diameter of a blood vessel have an effect on the resistance of blood flow and how the viscosity of blood will also effect the resistance of blood flow in a blood vessel. Observation: My mom is a big Elvis fan and she always wondered how his health affected his death. Knowing that he had high cholesterol and high blood pressure I decided to do an experiment on what factors may have had an effect
