Introduction Over the course of several weeks‚ myself and my fellow classmates have been researching and conducting an experiment that focuses on the effect of ascorbate peroxidase (a.p) as well as salt stress at different levels of concentrations on Abelmoschus esculentus (okra). Okra is a plant that is composed of 87.1% of water. In addition to being made mostly of water this highly nutritious vegetable is also composed of 0.2% of fat‚ 9.7% of carbohydrate‚ 2.2 % protein‚ 1.0 % fiber‚ and 0

The Effect of Osmosis on a Potato Cell October 12th 2012 Osmosis Lab Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to investigate the effects of osmosis on a potato cell as it is immersed for a period of time in solutions of different water concentrations. Hypothesis: If the potato is immersed into the distilled water‚ then it will be the heaviest out of the three. This is because water is at the lower is moving toward the area of higher concentration‚ which in this case is the potato. This

Bubble Quality Lab Hypothesis: The sugar solution will produce the best quality bubbles because of it’s sticky texture. Procedure: First‚ three cups were labeled as #1‚ #2‚ and #3. Next‚ each cup had one teaspoon of dish detergent and ⅔ cup of water added to them and swirled around to have everything mixed. Cup #2 then had half a teaspoon of table sugar added and cup #3 had half a teaspoon of table salt added to them. After that‚ a straw was dipped into each solution separately‚ and blown through

The Mass of Acetylsalicylic Acid in Aspirin ------------------------------------------------- Purpose The purpose of the lab is to determine the mass of the ‘active ingredient’ in a commercial ASA tablet. ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- Introduction There are three main theories surrounding acids and bases including the Arrhenius‚ Bronsted-Lowry‚ and Lewis theories. The Arrhenius theory of acids and bases states that

Introduction: We are conducting this experiment to identify how temperature affects the solubility of salt. To add on‚ by making this experiment we could see how temperature affects the solubility of a substance‚ the maximum number of solute particles that can dissolve in solvent particles. Also‚ how by changing the temperature we could see how if the solubility of the solute would either increase or decrease. This experiment connects with information we learn in class because of how in class

sink if put in salt water? Purpose: I want to know why the egg floats in fresh water and not salt water. I want to know if the egg will float in salt water‚ Also this shows why materials float easier in saltwater and sink in freshwater. Research: Since the egg’s density is higher than the density of freshwater the egg will sink. Density is mass per unit volume‚ which means a measure of how much mater is in a certain volume. If you add enough salt the egg will float again. The salt makes the water

Pre Lab 1a. Hydrated compound: ionic compound which contain water molecules inside their crystal lattice. The water is not chemically bonded to the crystal in any way and can be extracted by heating the compound. 1b. Anhydrous compound: a compound without water. 2a. The dot means that there are water molecules present in the crystal lattice in a specific ratio. 2b. For every mole of copper sulfate‚ there are five moles of water. 2c. The molar mass of copper (II) sulfate is 159.61 grams/mol

General Chemistry II Lab (CHEM 1106) Determination of the Solubility Product Constant of a Salt Date Performed: March 1‚ 2011 INTRODUCTION If solid KHC4H4O6 is added to a beaker of water‚ the salt will begin to dissolve. The amount of solid diminishes‚ and the concentrations of K+(aq) and HC4H4O6-(aq) in the solution increase. When no KHC4H4O6 dissolves‚ the concentrations of K+(aq) and HC4H4O6-(aq) will not increase further and any additional KHC4H4O6 added after this point will remain

learned about how salt affects the freezing point of water. In my science project I wanted to see if salt affected the freezing point of water. I started by doing some experiments. My first experiment was whether tap water or salt water would freeze first. I first started by mixing up the salt water warming it for one minute and warming the tap for one minute also. My second experiment was what ice cube would melt fastest. I started by getting two bowls. Two ice cubes‚ and salt. I began by sprinkling
