IB Chemistry Experiment 4 Composition of a Post-1983 Penny Lab Report Background: Through the use of percent composition one can easily find out how much of a certain element is in a compound or an item such as a post-1983 penny. The experiment will be using HCl a strong acid to dissolve all the zinc inside the outer copper shell. The reaction follows as such; Zn+2HCLZnCl2+H2‚ but there will be no reaction with copper. The portion that will be measured is the mass of copper left after all of

Termite Lab Report The effect of ink on termite behavior Abstract Termites produce special chemicals within their bodies called pheromones. Because termites are usually found inside dark areas‚ pheromones help them communicate in these places. Past studies have suggested that ink inside ballpoint pens contains pheromones‚ causing termites to follow any trail created by the ink. If a pathway is drawn with an ink pen‚ then a termite will be attracted to the path and trace it due to the pheromones

Synthesis of Tetraphenylcylopentadienone Post-Lab Report Purpose- This experiment illustrates the use of adol condensation for the synthesis of a five-membered carbocylic ring. It is also a good demonstration of the impact extended conjugation has on the absorption of visible light. The reactants are bright yellow in color while the products are a very deep purple color appearing almost black. Introduction- The synthesis of Tetraphanylcyclopentadienone was a further example of the adol

are: 4*C‚ 25*C‚ and 85*C. To determine if lactase reacted on the different levels of temperature we will use glucose test strips. Table 2. Lactase functioning affected by temperature level Our results on Table 2 reflect that for the test tube that was placed at a temperature of 85*C had a negative result‚ meaning that no glucose was found. The test tube that was placed under the 25*C level of temperature contained the most glucose concentration (250 mg) according to our data on Table 2. Lastly‚

EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON THE RATE OF CATALASE REACTION IN HYDROGEN PEROXIDE INTRODUCTION Enzymes function similarly to a lock a key mechanism where only one specific key will work (U and Fischer‚ 1994). An enzyme is a macromolecule that acts to increase the rate of either a substrate breaking down into two or more products‚ or where two substrates join up to form one product (Dundon‚ 2018). These enzymes perform this by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur under normal

The Kinetics of α-Chymotrypsin Introduction Chymotrypsin is a protease which cleaves proteins by a hydrolysis reaction‚ it does this by adding a molecule of water to a peptide bond. Although the hydrolysis reaction is thermodynamically favoured in the absence of a catalyst the half-life for a typical hydrolysis reaction by a protease is between 10 and 100 years‚ needless to say it is extremely slow1. Though this is true peptide bonds are hydrolysed within milliseconds in the body in the presence

purpose of antimicrobial drugs is either to inhibit virus replication‚ without harming host tissues or to interrupt the cell processes or structures of bacteria‚ fungi‚ and protozoa. This lab has brought great interest to me because this is the way physicians’ control/treat infectious disease within our bodies. In this lab‚ chemotherapeutic agents were evaluated by the disk-diffusion method. Chemotherapeutic agents are placed on the surface of a Petri plate containing Mueller-Hinton agar‚ which allows

Morgan Kimmerle Monday Lab Dr. McCorkell Abstract The purpose of this study was to cross and analyze the reciprocal crosses of wild flies and mutant flies. In this lab Drosophila melanogaster commonly known as fruit flies were used to understand some important genetic principles that were once proposed by Gregor Mendel. Mutant traits can be autosomal dominant‚ autosomal recessive traits‚ or even sex-linked dominant and sex-linked recessive. F1 and F2 generations were obtained by performing
