the Rate of Reaction Between HCl and Sodium Thiosulfate Chemistry Lab report Aim: The aim of this experiment is to determine how concentrations of HCl acid affect the rate of reaction when reacted with Sodium Thiosulfate (Na2S2O3). This experiment would require measuring the mass of the reaction over a period of time to be able to determine the rate of the reaction. Safety Precautions: In this experiment‚ SO2 gas is produced from the reaction between Sodium Thiosulfate and HCl‚ and this can be dangerous

whether different amounts of a particular chemical would affect the action potential. 7. Why does the addition of sodium chloride elicit an action potential? Hint: Think about the sodium permeability of the neuron (Figure 3.2e). The addition of sodium chloride will increase the sodium ion concentration outside the cell membrane. The sodium channels will open allowing sodium ions to enter the cell in hopes of equilibrium (depolarization). The cell will balance this polarity and pump

Reaction.’ The rate of the reaction will be measured by timing the reaction between Hydrogen Peroxide‚ Potassium iodide‚ and Sodium Thiosulphate. Sodium Thiosulphate is used as a delaying mechanism as the reaction between the two main reactants is too rapid to measure. The Sodium Thiosulphate will react with the Iodine [III] ions (the product) first and when the all the Sodium Thiosulphate has reacted‚ then the remaining Iodine ions will form a blue-black solution because of the addition of Starch

The Lipid Barrier of the Cell Membrane‚ and Cell Membrane Transport Proteins The structure of the membrane covering the outside of every cell of the body is discussed in Chapter 2 and illustrated in Figures 2–3 and 4–2.This membrane consists almost entirely of a lipid bilayer‚ but it also contains large numbers of protein molecules in the lipid‚ many of which penetrate all the way through the membrane‚ as shown in Figure 4–2. The lipid bilayer is not miscible with either the extracellular

unique. Consider the element sodium. It is a soft‚ silvery metal. It reacts violently with water‚ giving off hydrogen gas and enough heat to make the hydrogen explode. Nasty ‘stuff’. Also consider chlorine‚ a green gas when at room temperature. It is very caustic and choking‚ and is nasty enough that it was used as a horrible chemical gas weapon in the last century. So what kind of horrible mess is produced when sodium and chlorine are combined? Nothing more than sodium chloride‚ common table salt

Title: Reaction of Iodoethane with Sodium Saccharin- Ambient Nucleophile Dates Performed: February 21 + 28‚ 2013 Date Submitted: March 14‚ 2013 Abstract: The product ratio of N-ethylsaccharin to O-ethylsaccharin that occurred due to alkylation with iodoethane at 80 oC was determined to be 81.5% to 18.5%‚ respectively‚ based on an analysis of the 1H NMR spectrum that was collected. The melting point range of 87.8-94.7 oC also indicated that the mixture was largely composed of N-ethylsaccharin

Exercise 6: Cardiovascular Physiology Worksheet Assignment Due: Week 6 Electrical Stimulation Activity 1: Direct Heart Stimulation 1. Did you see any change in the trace? I did not see a change in the trace 2. Why or why not? This is because it needs more stimulation 3. Did you see any change in the trace? I did see a change in the trace 4. Why or why not? This is because there is double stimulation. 5. Describe the change you see in the trace. How does it differ from the baseline

The various cells – e.g. muscle cells‚ kidney cells and nerve cells – act together in an intricate system in each one of us. Through pioneering discoveries concerning the water and ion channels of cells‚ this year’s Nobel Laureates Peter Agre and Roderick MacKinnon‚ have contributed to fundamental chemical

generation of action potential on the axon. When the stimulation in form of graded potential is larger than the threshold of the membrane potential‚ the voltage-gated sodium channels open up. The opening of sodium channel makes the plasma membrane more permeable to sodium ions. Due to the difference in electrochemical gradient‚ sodium ions from the outside enter the cytoplasm rapidly‚ rapid repolarization occurs. The polarity of the membrane changes from -70mV (resting potential) to a positive value
